Graviton, you won't call my name now ohhhhhhh

cheksbry: . Hello graviton I have the same issue,I'm 24 years old and I finished secondary school in 2008, studied. A course I never was apt for, for 4 years,coupled with financial issues ,family was experiencing at the time, for the next 2 years I worked as a freelance webdesigner, and now I'm applying to study computer science in the Usa. My main motivation is that technology is becoming an integral part of our lives, and that I will become a better software developer/ tech entrepreneur if I do an undergrad course in CS in the usa.....are these reasons enough to convince a VO when asked what I did from 2008 till the present

What was the course? Is it in anyway related to CS?

Congratulation to u9052, Stewee and the others that got their visa approval. More good news to come.

Personal Observation: Statistics show that so many people get denied and never bother to come back here with their transcripts. This attitude wouldn't help you in any way. Bring it on and let the house help you. Someone might spot out what you never thought was your flaw.

youngbilly1: hello @all. please I wanna ask a question. is it
true that the American embassy denies Nigerian
who have been to Malaysia? I will explain better
I wanna goto Malaysia soon and I was told that if I
goto Malaysia and I later intend going to the United
states i will be denied.

I know someone who has lived in Malaysia legally for studies. He wasn't denied a US visa. It is even an added advantage. You can only be denied if you violate immigration laws of another country because it is a sign that you may likely do the same while in USA.

slimmy05: Are you scared of the advert. I just contacted the guy.

Scared ke? Me? Well, maybe for the ignorant ones. Where can a fake passport actually take you to? Not even Ghana. Alarm must blow once dem put am for light.

streetMic: Must 1 fill his service year PPA as work experience?

Fill it under previous employment

Graviton v.2.0.:


Juntod and Calmdown, you lot were wrong. I guess it isn't 100% afterall.

Graviton X3. I called u 3 times. You can clearly see the school has mailed him to know if he wants to be considered. Thats preferential treatment. He may be among the other 10% that didn't get funding but will get upon outstanding performance after 1st sememster. Leave me alone oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I dey find cheap house and cheap flight now.

xteemd01:

Dude, it's jux personal suggestions & no one is trying to compel her to take to any of those. Let her use her discretion to decide on what line of action she wants to take. Our best wishes are with her & d family anytime

Exactly. We just give different views. It is left for the OP to decide.

temi4fash: Gud evening house, Am new here.. Pls I want to make enquiries abt going to the U.S.A to do my masters degree.. I don't have a skool in mind yet... But, I intend to go for Masters in Control and instrumentation Engineering.. Am a fresh graduate going for my NYSC next month... Is dere anyone who can help...

Control and instrumentation is under electrical and electronics engineering (electrical and computer engr in most usa schools). There are many schools offering it in USA. Visit usnews.com for a comprehensive list.

Ashigolo: you got mail bro

You got one too

Ashigolo: it was court marriage but in a Local govenment registry, not ikoyi registry

Bros i go use slang reply u sake of say VOs dey reach here too. Try run another court paper before you waka. Make e be like say una marry after dem nack u ur kpali. Na u and court go come reason how e wan be.

Sponge3: I am new on this thread but I have been an ardent follower. I have ga post and a tuition waiver but got accepted into only one state university. I have been denied before. What are my chances? Have u gotten your visa?

My gre is poor 310/340.

Nb:I have posted my experience before.

Your GRE is very rich okay.

Ashigolo: Hello house,
I am a married man with some months old boy but I intentionally filled 'single' on my ds-160 because I couldnt sponsor myself as a married man and that could raise eyebrow, this was why I used my dad as my sponsor. Now I want my wife and kid to join me next year through F1 and F2 respectively. Please what marital status will be best and who is the best person that can serve as her sponsor. And please is there any better options. Your opinions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What kind of marriage did you do before? I mean traditional,church, mosque,court, shrine, etc. With this, I can advise.

idee91: No o.... its for his bsc...I dont tink msc is graded like dat ... And plss, whats the easiest way to appply for d exams (toefl, gre, gmat)... and the prices, plus the venues for d exams... (sorrie o we still be novice) bear wit us

Same grading bro.. You can register for toefl and gre on www.ets.org. All the info you need are there.

Graviton v.2.0.:


The school is resuming on the 21st, but classes are not starting on that day.

Yes, that is why they can issue you an extension letter which can be presented at POE.

Graviton v.2.0.:
I'd like to know:

if one's school is resuming on the 21st of August and the student arrives the US on the 22nd, will the student face any problems at the POE?

Note: the date on his I-20 reads 21st August, 2014

Its a problem but if you have an email conversation from your school asking you to come without deferring to the next sem, you are good to go.

idee91: the 3.88 is on 5.0 scale... and he has don his msc... currently lecturing at uni ilorin sef... tenks

OK you mean the 3.88 is cgpa for msc?

Walspring:

sorry to ask, did the get later get visa with the bold at end of the day? because someone once asked me about changing sponsor's job

Of course you can change anything you supplied orally. What they type is just remarks about your responses. E.g, Unconvincing reason for choosing Bleep, home ties is convincing, doesn't meet financial requirements, etc. There is no way they can type what you are telling them.

idee91: Hello guys !!! My broda wants to apply for phd in construction/ civil engeneering management... what score is he expected to get, in toefl and gre , to get funding. He finished frm Abu building with a cgpa 3.88... and pls recommend some skulls too

Is that 3.88 on a 4.0 scale or 5.0? There is no particular score for funding. He should only put in all effort to perform excellently. Availability of funds will also play a great role. Has he done Msc or wants to apply for Phd directly from Bsc?

bbdd: @juntod just got back from Nahco post office.
The place is quite rough. Too many agents hanging around the cargo area. I just locked up and walked straight to the post office.

The woman there said that if I came earlier my mail would have left Nigeria today. That post office is the last port of call. Really efficient. I paid 1300 for the mail to wes.

Wow very cheap.

dahfweshdude69: am a boy

Ok boy you are lucky they took the blame. It could have been a lot worse. I am sure that VO has been probed for not noticing the discrepancy in the DS form information and sevis fee payment confirmation page. [s]Meanwhile, prepare yourself just in case they may want to schedule another brief interview.[/s] I don't wish you this my guy. Just advising.

Graviton v.2.0.:


Where is Zeezahbee and Juntod? I told you lot that the embassy won't say it was okay to proceed, they will insist on rectifying it.

Dahfweshdude, I'm glad you took the advice of contacting the embassy about the mistake instead of "carrying go". Just pray, fast and do as the embassy has instructed. You will be the first to have his visa granted twice on here. Cheers!

Were you expecting them to tell her to go ahead to a school which she wasn't interviewed for? Don't forget my first advice was that she contacts the consulate because I don't know if DS-160 is checked at POE. I insisted there was no harm in contacting the consulate. I further advised her to go ahead if she doesn't mind attending the school on her visa cos the visa maybe revoked and re issued for the new school with or without a new interview. If she didn't report herself, there would have been no problem as well.

slimmy05: She has already in the first place created the immigrant intention which VO's are OK with. She needs to chill and take care of her baby for a year and then re-apply and go alone. First impression counts.

She needs not be in a hurry to re-apply, she should chill till next fall. My candid advice in order not to show desperation. We have a case of rijo who was denied when he went for undergraduate, he didn't go back to re-apply, he simply completed his studies and applied for masters and at a snap he got it.

Even if you like stay 10years it doesn't have any negative effect on your visa application.

I understand your point but its far different from this scenario. What do you expect the woman to do in those years? If there was a job here for her in the first place, she wouldn't pack her load and full family to the consulate. From their transcript, you can see they have no time to spare. The journey has to begin now with at least one member of the family.

slimmy05: If what you hammer on is the 5years leaving the 3years stated by xteemed then you just confirmed your kind of person to me.

No matter the kind of person you think I am, it doesn't change the fact that nobody should be advised to delay his/her dreams for even 3 years when there are other immediate solutions. That is self imposed ban.

Come on, nobody should advise couple and kids (Green120) to wait for 5 years. Do you think 5 years is 5 days? We never can tell what their intention is. The best option is to defer to spring and the wife should apply alone. She should be prepared to explain how she has arranged for her babies to be taken care of in her absence. Again, we have been focusing on home ties only. From her transcript, she clearly didn't respond to other questions well. She has to study previous transcripts and know how to respond to questions about her school and program. Once she gets the visa and starts her program, her toddler can apply for F2 while the husband and older baby apply for B2 for visiting just to take the toddler over. If your intention is to remain there while her program runs, you can then explore other means to convert B2 to F2 while already there. Best of luck.

vo: enters, she returnd back and said. i am so sorry, you are not elligible. but you can re apply again.

kindly help me look for way forward

Apart from your dry responses, everything was good until the bolded. You should show stronger ties with your uncle. Education in the US is very expensive. Hence, there should be a concrete reason why an uncle would want to spend so much millions on you. Go again immediately and work on that line. He should be more of a father figure in your life since childhood and maybe even financially responsible for your education since undergraduate. Again, how good is the flow of funds in that account? 5.9M may be accepted from a father or father figure. But from an uncle who just wants to show gratitude, it may be unconvincing.

Feexo: Bimbola, I was very prepared and did my homework well with 100% original documents, but a female VO denying people almost got me scared. Generally, I answered the questions reasonably well as I have been preparing for a long time. Can you help out with ticket information?

For ticket matters, which state do you wana land and when exactly?

streetMic: Things am reading for my interview: My Bible, Wikipedia, My school's site, My Ds160 and my Copy of olumide's Transcript.

Hope u've digested it as advised

Stewee:

Im using my mom as my primary sponsor...
Please note that I do not work in an airline company,i work in my mom's company. The airline sponsorship I got was just a venture I tried and it payed off tremendously.
I got that sponsorship as part of the company's local content initiative where they help young and aspiring pilots who will eventually work in their company after the training.

Perfectly understood. You have no problem
