chamotex: Okay I'm trying to get you here...
Are you saying the girl should be blamed (partly) because she didn't accompany her partner to the party?

Yes

jkelly0007: Hello house,pls ur advice is all I need,I am going top usa to study flight dispatch,av been admitted am planing sending the tution fee,but a friend told me they mite still refuse my visa even after showing prove of payment and accomodation and everything...is it true

Do not send any fee oooo

Yvete: Ooh you did! That's cool. She did philosophy there. I guess she learned how to 'over-analyze' weather conditions. Plus, she's still feeling sick-ish unfortunately.

Hmm, she was in faculty of art. . . Awww didn't know the weather was that bad. . . Wish her speedy recovery. . . Still dunno how I avoided illness myself. . . She should drink lots of tea, eat pepperish food and drink vodka too (helps me recover from flu). . . wud try n send her a pm

Yvete: Lol oops! ....I know that the school is really hyped. That's were Ms Mamacita went, UNILAG.

I went to unilag too, don't mind her. . . The girls enjoyed, us guys did not

bruminero: i don't get u.

Who said her answers were good

Yvete: The reasoning behind the bolded could be the problem. If she(you) 'answered well', there is no need to seek additional answers. If anyone's parent is unsatisfied with the educational system why would they enroll at Unilag at all? From the lil I know, the educational standard there is pretty good.

Ask the 22 yr old to share her experience herself in full to be critiqued/guided/helped accordingly.

Wrong there hun

bruminero: D̶̲̥̅̊ questions where why u.s,she answered well,why school,she asnwered well but was scared and stammered a lil,her waec is 2007 and she was ask wat she been doing since den and she said she went to ply 2008 to 2010 f̶̲̥̅̊ợ̣̣̝̇̇̇я̩̥̊ her nd,got her certificate 2011,den started @ unilag 100 level @ 2012 buh dat her dad isn't satisfied with d education system in nigeria,and den they asked f̶̲̥̅̊ợ̣̣̝̇̇̇я̩̥̊ her if she took sat,and she said yes,show it to d v.o,and d v.o asked f̶̲̥̅̊ợ̣̣̝̇̇̇я̩̥̊ statement of account,she showed it too.and d v.o said she can't grant her visa @ dis time that she may reapply

Answered well by whose standard? That's why you have to be specific

chamotex: There isn't a sole reason why people cheat, people do it for various reasons.
If a girl was throwing herself at a guy at a party for example, and he decided it's a good opportunity to 'hit' a different coochie since the opportunity presented itself, how the hell is that the partner's fault? Is it the partner's fault he can't resist temptation? No!

Where was the partner when "a girl was throwing herself at the guy at the party?" She was filling to mature to accompany her partner abi, well competition just entered equation. . . .

Agielted: Hello everyone! I've followed this thread as a guest for a long time now and I had to register in order to comment. I can say that you guys are just wonderful from justwise to the rest. I wish I had known this thread longer than I have.
Now to my matter, sometime ago, I was denied visa for not taking the gre test, then denied again because my program didn't relate to my undergrad. I have applied now to a program that is related to my B.A and I'm hoping that it wont be a problem due to the changes I've made. Course of study n school. Guys pls mek una help weigh dis na.

No it won't. . . But kindly reveal your past interview experience, u myt still be able to do the course u love n switch. . . . Do not allow oyinbo to kill ur dream

Anthonymighty: I'm going to Boston MA. From Lagos. Abeg help me find better flight that doesn't cost much. Departure date is 12th of January thanks

Do not pick a weekend date cos demand for that ticket myt be higher. . . That's why I picked a Tuesday to search for you

Anthonymighty: Ok bro....thanks a milli.....but some of these stop over flights dey require transit visa o.....depends on the hours the stopover might take before the next connecting flight sha... thanks I'll check 'em out

Bros, my own was to get u a good flight plus I don't think u need a transit visa to stop over at Egypt

[quote author=s-beauty ]Lemme talk like Yvette, or kpolli this time ...
No one knows how d interview went , u didn't come to share d experience? How is anyone to decide wht to tell her to enable her pick up d visa next time ?
Figure out ur mistake until then before u kw how to get a solution,
My 1cent[/quote]Huh, I won't talk like that

@bruminero
As long as nothing has changed in her situation. . . 0.01% chance of getting it
So u need to let us know every details of her interview so we can reveal to you (cos its obvious she did and you dunno how to determine this)how she messed up n how to solve this for you guys. . .

Anthonymighty: You guys should talk to me naa.....I need a cheap ticket o! And the one way ticket i saw on skyscanner is expensive o more than $2000 o. I don't know if na to get round trip or single journey.

Fly to JFK and get a ticket Boston from NY. . . . . Would be way cheaper

Egypt air is like $1165 for Jan 8th, then $120 from JFK to BOS (first class is even $180 for this flight)

Note that JFK to BOS would be on the 9th

Congrats to those that got their Visas Approved, we are expecting more good news in the house.............................................................Abeg S-beauty open floor of celebration come New year oh! It is well! [/quote]Cos he is the best and I only fly the best . . . . .

jidegirl12: [/b]
Your example contradicts your point you're trying to make.......

@the bolded...you know sometimes workaholics get carried away....it's your spouse's responsibility to call your attention to regroup...so I ain't at fault se! s hit's on him not me!

And lets face it, if the man is not successful....will the woman pay attention if he cheats or not or focus on him getting a job fist? #justbeing100%

Obviously my point is when ur spouse draws ur attention to ur flaw but there is lil or no change from u

Mamacita007: I'm just managing. I started feeling sick since yesterday after I ate gumbo and crawfish. I was having headache and my legs were shaking. I asked yvete for paracetamol and she wz laughing and said maybe its d weather change that's d problem. We went to a seafood restaurant dat same evening and it became worse cos d cold wz killing. I even bought more wool and cashmere sweaters today. For naija dey said that Houston is not cold. This kain cold no be wetin I expect. Yvete said I'm putting the heater too high in d nyt and it can dehydrate me buh as e be, I no come here to suffer. Make summer do come abeg.

kpolli send ur private jet to pick me from here (no send d type wey dey kill rich men abeg. Na Pastor oritsejafor own I want lol). Blessed jet.

Pele o, ur own is way better than mine. . . . My flatmate loves cold so in cold weather he puts on ac not heater. . . So ur own better pass mine. . . .

Aww my pilot has gone to naija for holiday and I am not a pilot yet, so u would have to wait for his return. . . . Pele dear

I think I prefer this to summer, gosh u wud almost catch fire, u wey we hear say u fair. . . .

Yvete: I GIVE UP!

Think like a man

chamotex: My point is... the cheated does not ALWAYS have a blame. They might have a blame in most instances but not ALWAYS like you are making it seem.




Of course when a relationship fail, its the fault of AT LEAST ONE of them not BOTH parties. If one party decides to mess something up why should the other take the blame.

Blaming another party is just an excuse to justify the act itself.
"I had to cheat because I wasn't getting any attention"

First, let's ask. . . Why do ppl cheat? Through that answer, you would understand my line of thought

jidegirl12: Don't agree with you!

So if I'm working my a ss off and my man goes to cheat and gives me a sh itty excuse that I made him do it cos I work too much..... Isn't that what marriage is all about ? Passive communication and working together for a goal ?

So when I bring home the dough ... do I spend it alone? spare me those excuses will ya, I'm not taking that one bit and I ain't gonna take no blame for a grown A$$ six packed thirty something man!

So a man who chases success rather than spend time with the gf is at fault when she goes seeking attention from other men but when its the woman's turn, she is hustling for money for both of them abi?? If your bf wants a jobless girl at his beck n call and u can not provide that quality, he wud go looking for one. . . . So whether u agree or not, in theory. . . u didn't give him what he wanted, so ur partly at fault for dating that fooool. . .

yemdeb: I have been silently following this thread for a couple of days and i can say this thread is the best thread on the forum. I got my F-1 Visa today at the Abuja Consulate. The chronicle of how i got the visa started on the 20th December, 2012. This was the actual day i was slated for interview. My time was 10.30am and i got to the Consulate at 10.25am. On arrival, i discovered i wasn't with the print out of my appointment confirmation page and i had to rush down to a nearby cyber cafe to get it printed. I got back to the consulate by 11.00am and i was told the 10.30am 'slotters' have been called. I just dashed in and was processed in. To cut the story short, i entered the interview hall.

VO in window 6, a pretty young lady was just celebrating Xmas by issuing out visa to everybody.
VO in window 7, a sturdy man issuing at 50-50
VO in window 8, a stern young woman denying everybody
VO in window 9, a handsome guy issuing at 60-40

Status quo remained the same until suddenly their system went down and there had to be some slight delay. Immediately the system came up, the issuing VO in window 6 started denying, the denying VO in window 8 was replaced by another lady while VOs in Windows 7 and 9 maintained their status quo. Suddenly it got to my turn and i found myself going to window 6.

VO: Good afternoon
ME: Afternoon ma...
VO: Pass me ur documents
ME: I handed the documents to her.......She scanned through my documents
VO: Do you know about SEVIS fee?
ME: Yes.
VO: You haven't paid it and i wont be able to conduct interview for you until this fee is paid..
ME: I already paid..... i showed her the print out of the receipt
VO: The record is not on our system and so we cant interview you.... What i will do is give you a letter that will serve as ur pass when coming some other time. You can come on either Thursday or Friday cos there are holidays on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
ME: OK
VO: Thanks
ME: You are welcome...

END OF EPISODE ONE


EPISODE TWO

Got to the Consulate as early as 6:15am. I was cold to to bone but i wasn't deterred. By 8:30am, we were called in and those of us with G-letters were attended to first. Interview proper started and the VOs that were conducting interviews on the 20th are still the very ones in their respective windows except window 8 that was not yet occupied as at the time i was there.
I was interviewed by the handsome dude in window 9 and it went thus:

VO: (frown) Good morning
ME: (fake smile) Good morning sir..
VO: Pass me ur doc
ME: I gave him
VO: Do you have your form I-20 with you?
ME: Yes i do( i passed it to him)
VO: Why going to the US?
ME: For a master degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology
VO: At which school?
ME: Western Illinois University
VO: And why the school?
ME: Everything i want in a school is present in this school. It has over 10 decades of standard and top quality education which makes it ranked high in usnews ratings. It also has an impressive student:faculty ratio of 15:1 which makes class interaction much more conducive. Worthy of note is...
VO: Its ok......
ME: (i kept quiet)
VO: Why this course?
ME: It fits my career aspiration
VO: How?
ME: It will give me the required knowledge base and technical skill to excel as a manufacturing engineer
VO: OK....When did you finish your BSc?
ME: 2008
VO: What course?
ME: Mechanical Engineering
VO: What have you been doing since then:
ME: I have been working at the production section of an agroscience company....
VO: (cut in) What are your job descriptions:
ME: Ensuring no down time in production. Occasionally carrying out repairs and maintenance on the production line.
VO: Good...did you write any exam, Sat, Gre bla bla
ME: Yes. I wrote GRE even though it is not required by the school
VO: Can i see your score pls?
ME: I mistakenly passed my TOEFL score to him.
VO: No i don't need that. Your English is kind of fluent....
ME: Sorry... i passed the GRE printout to him... he looked at it and them passed it back to me
VO: Who will pay for your studies?
ME: My brother
VO: What does your brother do?
ME: He is an engineer. He fabricates and imports machines and equipments needed for the upliftment of nigeria economy.
VO: Do you have your brothers Statement of Account with you?
ME: Yes.... i passed it to him
VO: He scanned through it page by page before returning it to me
VO: What will you do after your study?
ME: With the knowledge and skills i would have garnered from my studies, i will come and take over the Port Harcourt branch of my brothers business as the MD.

At this point he has already put my passport and application with the rest applications that were earlier granted. He then gave me the pick up paper and the following ensued:

VO: Come pick up your visa on Wednesday
ME: Thanks.
VO: Have a nice day ahead.
ME: You too.

That was how i got my visa at my very first time of applying for it. It was just like a fairy tale. I fasted, though i didn't really pray but i know someone also fasted and prayed. My fiance is a very solid backbone that has been my support. It was a sweet combination of Preparation on my part and Rigorous prayers on the part of my fiance.

My people, the secret to getting your visa is hard work and prayer and i strongly believe with the combination of these two inseparable things, your visa is certain.
One love.

Congrats bro

[quote author=Mr. Chris] Hmmm!!! [/quote]Hmm??

talk2D: Is it okay to take a school I-20 with 30k tuition fee?

Yes

chamotex: Are you for real?
So we should assume all cheating is caused by the other half not performing his/her duties.
I see...

It's not caused by the other half, it's caused by the cheater but the cheated too has a blame in this. . . Simple

When a relationship is great, it's cause of both of them. . . When a relationship fails is caused by only one No I beg to defer, no matter how minute, the cheated has his/her share of the blame. . .

Tgirl4real: But that don't apply in all cases. We see where one partner does all to please his/her spouse and this spouse still ends up cheating.

Then it is obvious he/she wasn't doing the rite thing. . . . I did all my best in my past relationship but she still left, was obvious my game wasn't "tight"

Yvete: Pitying people won't help them. Do the right things and PRAY so ALL will work to your favor. I LAUGHED ...No apologies!



Hmnn so you didn't invite us, huh? I'm jealous for real. Houston is too cold right now.



You and sexy-beauty are the chemists here. Y'all are so neuron-ic! Teeehehe

It's not too late. . . School doesn't resume till second week of next month so u can join me in Florida . . .

Mamacita is shaking ke, I think I myt cut my holiday short just to come warm her up

[quote author=Mr. Chris] Kpolli my guy, you don't need to be too hard on him. You never got "delayed" once. I guess u don't understand how it feels to be in his shoes. "try pamper the guy small na". Please, lets be nice to one another here cos we all need help @ one stage or more in our lives. Abi na kpolli! I know VIU has been strongly advised against but this guy must have been admitted before coming across this wonderful thread. Kpolli, abeg, biko, joor! How you dey? Hope cold no reach ur side! @Dmoney, it is well oh! It seems gurus in the house are concerned about ur school. My advice is that you find a reliable & reputable school & take @ least one of the required exams. Sincerely, your interview seems to be too short, probably the shortest i have ever read on this thread. But dat guy mean oh! No time! Just Gbam!!! It is well sha!! Although, I won't advised against ur decision of re-applying immediately but everyone can't be wrong. What do you think? If you still insist sha! I wish you the best cos if you are given @ the end of the day, we would all rejoice with you. Good luck bro! [/quote]Well I hate giving advice, ppl not listening and coming back to cry after not adhering to my advice. . . . I should be laughing at him not petting him. . . He probably was planning to prove us wrong. . .

I am in the "Sunshine state" enjoying the sunny weather

Yvete: Don't fall ill. Go get some flu meds. Houston is cold oh and mamacita is shaking like a jelly fish on land.
Did you get the message I sent you?

Eeya. . . chilling on a beach rite now, enjoying the sunny day

dmoney104: My f1 interview went like this , my appointment was 9:30 I got dere 6:00.

Vo: sori @ dis point ur visa !la bla. Bla....
Me: ok sir pls wen can I reapply
Vo: anytime you feel like...my school is (VIU) pls I need ur suggestions towaRds disexperinece..

He didn't deny u cos u didn't do GRE, u were denied cos u applied to VIU. . . . Why don't you guys ever listen?

Tgirl4real: How if I may ask?

Cos if he had done his duty, she won't have needed to cheat

Mamacita007: Loool no comment.

I was hoping for a comment

By the way I heard the snow you were running from is coming to meet u or has come

Anthonymighty: Yaah! I dey dance azonto........my visa eh! God has done it.......I driving home now......will gist u guys later......thanks to u all.....love u guys
