I am pretty sure the person has never worked in his or her life cos I don't know how any mature or experienced person would spew such nonsense. The lifetime earnings of most Nigerians would not be able to afford the cost of attendance of most schools.

I once calculated my total gross pay after 3 years of work and I nearly cried after converting the value to USD, that was 3 years ago.

Few of us have had no issues with Lufthansa. Just make sure you have your covid test for boarding.

Please, who has traveled to the US on F1 visa with Ethiopian airline or Lufthansa and had no issue at the port of entry?
I need this information ASAP please��

Who is this person? How much does an average Nigerian earn that you think they would be able to finance their studies after 10 years work experience? Or does everyone work in oil and gas? Seems some kids are on this page

HRprof:


Your father sponsoring you could be the problem. someone that have work for 10 yrs should have saved enough be able to sponsor himself abroad for anything. when you plan to study abroad co expected you to have save for your study not your father. my 2 cent shocked

If he goes on Friday, the result would most likely expire before he enters the US

fkj950ax:


Go Friday for the test.
Comes out Sat
Expires Monday
Saturday too risky. Labs close early and result may not be ready till Monday.
Sunday not an option. No airline will board you without test result.
The test is required till Chicago, and can still be used to Denver.
You will be required to take another anyway when you arrive Denver

Based on the 3-day rule (72 hrs), you should be fine on Saturday. Go to a place that you're sure delivers on time. Sunday would be too risky, unless if you're fine with having high BP

fdecisive:
Please I need some advice:
Leaving for US next weekend for my studies, PoE is Chicago.

My trip takes about 25 hours in total
- Sunday night(Leave Lagos)
- Monday morning (6hrs later Istanbul) - 1hr layover
- Later same Monday morning (11hrs & 30mins flight to Chicago, US)
- 2 hrs layover at Chicago
- 3 hours later (Monday afternoon) Denver, Colorado.

1. In terms of covid test, would you advise I do it on Saturday or same Sunday the day of departure, considering the 3-day rule for negative test?

If they don't board you it may be because they're not convinced that you're a student, given your poor spelling: "true" not "through"

Please Don’t judge me you don’t know what I’ve gone through mentally I know there are other countries with great universities but you should understand that the US is number one and I find it really hard settling for less I’ve had a family member go to the Uk to school and it didn’t turn out the way the person expected it to be everyone is different please don’t judge me thank you

There is definitely something wrong with the guy. There's no point wasting your responses on him. I still wonder how someone whose family is as wealthy as he says would contemplate suicide (as he said in an earlier post) all because of American visa when you have the resources to go anywhere.

vizin:
If it's as bad as you just mentioned, why are you desperate to go back even after visiting consecutively for the past twenty years like you said earlier on? Moreover it's not about telling them about you father multiple business, how well did you deliver the answer to some questions you were asked? Were you well articulated when you answered some questions? I know sometimes the visa approval can be tricky and some might just be lucky but you need to just calm down and enjoy every passing day. I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful. I know that feeling when you want something so bad but it's not going as you expected, the frustration, the pain. Calm down and don't act like it's a do or die affair, on the bright side your parents are rich, as you process your visa application, have some fun, do things you love.
I'm sorry if I've said anything wrong but enjoy yourself *hugs*

What's your work experience? You need good work experience, and it's for your own good. Have you taken GMAT (or GRE as most MBA programs also accept it)? Those are important factors in getting scholarships (usually partial) for an MBA. And so that you know, scholarships for MBA are not common like for other programs, especially at the top business schools. Most people also take loans to finance their MBA.

Immacharles:
Hello, Good day.

Please I’m new here. I graduated with a 2.1 in chemical engineering and I’m trying to go for masters in business administration. I’m looking for schools that offer scholarship. And I’m seeking for assistance on how to go about my application.

The reality is that people would always want to argue against putting in the work required to get the best or optimal outcome. The truth, as you have mentioned, is that GRE is required for very competitive programs; the best and elite programs. One's undergrad record is also important (GPA of 3.5+/4.0 or 3.2+/4.0 if you can kill GRE with above 325). There will always be one or two who get into great programs without it (especially due to covid), but those are the exceptions not the rule. And these exceptions may have solid publications and Masters, if their undergrad was subpar.

walepepe21:

Congrats. Before you erroneously accused his submission May I humbly ask you that Do you have your full funding from ECE (Electrical Computer Engineering) ? If so, which school you got it from make we know cos it’s very hard to get ECE funding.

NB: It is your decision to mention or not mentioning the schools but very hard to get full funding with that your GPA and Test score for ECE.

I guess so, but that's what the airline got for me on my single ticket. So if my miss, they'd have to put me on another flight. Anyway, the main thing na to enter there (US). Anything else is fine

solihp:


If you arrived at the first city in the US and your next flight is in 1.5hr. There’s a high probability that you’d miss that flight cause the first city is your point of entry and it might take a long time. Leaving at least 4 hours in between is more ideal.

Oh since you're going from JFK to La Guardia, that changes the equation. Thought it was all in the same airport. Just make sure you have enough money to buy another ticket in case you miss the flight since you did not buy a single ticket. That's the advantage of a single ticket cos the airline can help you get another flight if you miss a connecting flight without you paying for it.

Tylerbaby:
I've been told that the traffic in NYC can be really crazy, and it can take over an hour getting to LaGuardia from JFK.

Hello folks. Please I want to ask about this Covid 19 test required for traveling. Is the covid test from NCDC approved private labs all that is required? I am asking because it seems the NITC/NCDC website has a form that outbound travelers have to fill, etc. I was initially under the the impression that a test from the approved private labs was sufficient.

Are they as marginalized as Southerners? Do Southerners have the same opportunities as Northerners? The reason northerners can easily come back to Nigeria after studies is that they will find it way easier to get good jobs and other opportunities.

Moreover, I don't think she was even faking any accent or anything of such. She spoke normally and pronounced her words well. Some people just complain about everything. Though I did not notice any error in the video I watched, even native speakers do make grammatical errors when they speak. So kini big deal?

I'm beginning to think that the guy is just a troll or has serious mental issues. If your family is that wealthy, why even bother what one country does? All the people I know that are that rich don't even bother traveling out cos they can get anything in Naija. There is something wrong with that guy. How can your family be as rich as he described and then he wants to commit suicide because US rejected his visa application?

Please when they say that no phones are allowed into the embassy, do they mean that you should not come at all with your phone? Or do they just mean that you cannot enter the building with your phone but there is a place in which you can put your phone (with a tag) at the gate or entrance? Cos I'm wondering how one can go around these days without a phone. Would like to know specifically about Abuja embassy

This is a real nigga talking. Almost everybody bleeps raw. If HIV was as easily transmitted as most of us are made to believe, trust me 90% would have caught it. Just that one should not go on a rampage cos one may have a hidden cut that exposes the bloodstream

Bro you dont have HIV dont be scared be a man just go run some test for infections so that you dont infect your wife.....next time learn to take antibiotics immediately after raw sex it's 100 percent effective against infection.
