VISA ALERT

FAMILY OF 4
Self Submission
Standard Application

Main Applicant's Submission (me): 9th March


*NB* Kids Applied with USA passport

Pls, did you pay visa fee for the kids using the USA passport and what validity were they given? I used to think it would be visa upon arrival for USA passport holders traveling to the Uk

Legit215:
Is due to the switch I guess the first two schools are asking you to take that course due to is mandatory for that course you want to study.
The first two is there any funding
The fourth school sounds good but hope the school has good standing.

Legit215:
Is this conditional offer for masters or undergraduate.
If it's undergraduate did you submit SAT, if you didn't then your school might give you a conditional offer to take some course's again like algebra or co.
If it's masters did you submit gre or the course they gave you to take again did you do it at undergraduate level.
With this known you will be able to know what to tell the vo.
Hope this helps.

what the condition attached to the offer ?

Further note for those who have began their program online this fall. When you get to the interview session, not much is asked once you have started your program. I had my VISA interview last week. Once the VO asks' what school do you intend to go? You begin by telling the VO that you are a masters/doctorate student of x and y at the university of x and y. That you intend to return in-person this coming spring. You will need to show the VO a colored print out of a proof of your course enrolment, tution and fees payment and school's unofficial transcript. This was what I did. My interview was not up to a minute. Reasons why I found it difficult to forward my transcript here. It was so brief and fast. I was extremely surprised. I was not asked any question like the others... questions like why the school, financial justification etc. All these was not required from me. As they have always stated on this platform, be confident enough that you are a scholar and you know your worth. Bodily countenance really matters. I ended up speaking when I was not asked any further question by the VO, more like a conversation with him. I was confused as he kept on typing and remained silent as if he already had all the information needed. Apart from what school I was going to attend, he asked about my marital status and that was all. It was that simple but it may vary for others though. Just make sure you have every of your original documents to proof all that you stated on your DS-160. They did not need all that from me sha. But thank God I was able to present my school's tuition and fees payment receipt, unofficial/non-graded transcript and my course enrolment print out. Immediately, I showed him this. That was what made it for me. This should help those awaiting interview that have already started their program virtually this fall and returning in-person for spring 2021. My regards to every one in the house. You guys are really doing a great job here and that is what motivated me to drop this here. Gracias

Its so hard for me honestly but I wouldnt have it any other way. I couldnt have left my baby, she was only about three months old then. Please be sure you have finances oooo even if you have full funding. If the child is above 4 years old, then you MAY get free school, but if the child is less than 4 years old, the money you will pay eh can drive someone mad (something like $220 weekly, in bigger cities it reaches and exceeds $500 weekly).
If your school is in a city where you have family, then the better for you. I didnt have the advantage of family but the church i attend is predomimnatly white people and luckily for me, all of the people i have been meeting in the church are the nicest crop of people on earth. For reasons i dont know, elderly people were becoming my friends more and from that circle, i have been able to get childcare for free including weekends, when i need them. They have become family. If you ever get to come with your baby, hit me up for more info. Take care. Also bear in mind that your husband getting F2/B is not automatic

Thank you so so much for the info. Mine is 5 year old and I will keep in touch for info. Thank you

zeeLady:
My husband was my sponsor too and i went with my child. some of these things dont have a clear cut answer. I have seen a a couple with a child all go together and all got. I have also seen the lady go with the child and the husband was given F2 later. PhD aint an easy journey and if the baby is very young, they might all give it a try since she has full funding. Many questions might be asked but be prepared for questions related to funding for the family.


Pls zeeLady, how are you able to cope with a child? I intend coming for masters with my 5 year old but I have just been wondering how joggling that would be. Could you pls throw more light on what has helped you so far, what advice would you give to others considering this. Thank you

reigningme:
Thank you so much for your time sheke01. I really appreciate it. That is thoughtful of you to pitch my tent with Northwest. Also, I believe data science has several applications in health, life sciences, politics, pharmaceuticals, diseases, etc. Can I send a dm?

kemmystree2015:


MS information system, Northwest Missouri dey here too ooooo.

reigningme:
Please ooo, advisers and gurus in the house, kindly advise me on this. I no sabi anything oo. Na beg I dey beg. Let me quicky apprise you on the following. I have been admitted to the following schools for fall 2020:
(1) Rowan University ( MS Data Analytics, awaiting GA)-
(2)Mercyhurst University (Ms. Data Science)-awaiting GA
(3) Bowling Green State University (MS Data Science)- awaiting GA
(4) NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY (MS Information Systems)

Here is my thinking:
(1) Due to this extraordinary time, I want to defer the admissions
(2) Due to the paucity of funds, I want to make Northwest Missouri state Uni my final bus stop. since it is cheaper even without funding. But they do award GA second semester and they have on-campus jobs.

Please note I have the following pending
(a) Grand valley state University (MS Applied Computer Science, Ms. Health informatics (just a trial)). I got a reject for MS Data Science and Analytics
(b) Cleveland State University (Ms. Computer information systems, Ms. Software Engineering)
(c) Southeast Missouri State University (MNS Mathematics).

I NEED YOUR CANDID ADVICE PLSSS. Is there anyone in this schools I have been admitted including Grand Valley State University.

pompeiimagnus:


For the visa, it's all about how you present your case at the interview. Though having an excellent first semester result might help. Studying online from Naija defeats the whole point of having the US experience in my opinion.

For your child, email the international office at the University for more information regarding elementary schools closeby. Though it all comes down to having sufficient funds for the school fees, daycare for whenever you are busy at school, health insurance and possibly having a car for ease of movement. Sure, you can manage fine with your child. All you need are sufficient funds and patience with your child as he also tries to adapt here. If you have family here, that would also be very helpful.

vc1177:

If your WES was done after 2013, you can actually request an additional report after the first five years because they keep your record for ten years
