"how did you apply?"
"when did you apply?"
"please give us guidelines on how to apply"

We'll, it depends on your airline, class of flight and your duration in terms of hotel and tourism bills. It also depends on if you are booking return ticket too

My mum can afford my school and travelling processing, just that she can't get it till January... And it will be too late

I understand You wanna increase your funds with the OT of last year, thinking that Bitcoin will also rise to 20k this year?, ,

What I don't understand is the admission processing part. Do you mean application fee?

Awilibogy:
The Boss abeg try remember.

Alcorn state University also doesn't have application fee. But your i20 can't be sent directly to Nigeria, you will need to submit a USA contact to receive it and the person will further send it you you in nigeria

Hello guys....

I’m gonna be brief as possible...so I met this girl 6 months ago online and we fell inlove after getting closer to each other then we started dating. I noticed she’s a kind of lady that enjoys slaying and keeping female friends which are not really presentable to me. I talked to her about it she said they are just friend and their mode of dressing doesn’t define who they are.
I overlooked it and stopped mentioning stuffs like that to her even tho I didn’t like it but just to make peace reign because she’s a type that gets upset when I try to correct her so sometimes I apologize even tho she’s wrong Because I love her and have waited a long time to get into a relationship after my heart was messed up by my ex last year. So I just kept pampering her and tolerating her attitudes.

We stay far from each other she stays at ikorodu while I stay at Abulegba so we don’t get to see often she was suppose to come visit me on sat 8th of this month considering that we’ve not seen in a month due to her busy schedule according to her, but she gave me an excuse of her going to her friend’s birthday party she can’t afford to miss as a understanding guy I said “no problem even tho I’ll miss you but I got no choice” so throughout that Saturday I heard from her only at night asking her how she was she told me she was weak so I told her to get some rest. The next day which was Sunday we spoke after church service on phone briefly and then to my surprise, she started uploading video of her in a concert with Nigerian top artists performing I was shocked I asked her if she went to a concert the previous night she said yes then I asked why she didn’t tell me even though we have spoken after then. She said she’s sorry then I told her “ok”

She started nagging and asking me why I was giving her the attitudes by simply saying “ok” she said her friend took her to the concert around 12am(my people is that possible her girlfriend took her to concert on the island by 12am no be say car Dey oo) I said ok even if that was the case why didn’t you tell me, she said she forgot!!! Like wtf? You forgot? I mean we’re supposed to even see each other I don’t have problem with her going out but she didn’t accord me any respect now I’m thinking of quitting the relationship and the worst part is she’s claiming rights and not apologizing and this is someone that always claim to love me.

Please what should I do?

She is a hoe and a life of a party.
I was once in this shoe and it was a bitter experience.
Bro, please leave and quit, the end is brutal

Hmm

2 months waiting on administrative processing?.
Does it always take this long?, I was thinking it takes just 2 weeks

Hello house,

1. I had been denied twice last year in Spring 2018 (November and December). I decided to take a one year break before showing up at the embassy again. In that period, I added a travel history (South Africa - went for a two week vacation), and presently I am on a new job roll in my bank. Last year I was an ATM custodian and now I operate as a Cash Officer. I want to know, if asked, what have changed in your application or why you think you are qualified now, how best do i respond to this question? This is the only headache I have got now. Though I am not married yet.

2. While filling my DS160, I added my current job role (Cash officer in the same bank). But I am confused about the date to put. Do i still maintain the date when I got employed with the bank (since i have not changed firms), or do I put the date the promotion/ move to a new job role was effected? RECALL: They usually ask HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING hence my confusion.

Thanks.

If asked. Don't ever mention travel history because it will appear as if you just travelled just to get stamps to add to your history.

For the work dates. You can split them.
For example.
Team lead, ebanking, 2005 - 2008
Business Banker 2003 - 2005.


As for what changed. Try to figure out what you think could went wrong in your last interview, build your response around that. Do you know the funniest thing, what you thought could be wrong on your side might be different from the comment the V.O left on your profile.

Hmmm..

Somebody should borrow me that tear gas police meme

Hello House,

Please I want to ask if Bank statement is the only financial document acceptable to present at the USA embassy here in Nigeria. I have only my Sponsor's (Sister) investment documents who is in USA. She said she doesn't have enough funds to show in her bank statement. Is Investment documents also acceptable showing the value of the investment?


Please I'll really appreciate a reply from the pro in the house.

If it's a money market, mutual fund or any other investment which are easily redeemable, you can use it but make sure you get a reference letter from the investment bank/body, stating that the funds are easily accessible. You should be fine.
I used mutual fund statement during my interview

Congratulations

2.77

Use wes free evaluator to convert it to 4.0

You are fine anyways. I had 2.88/5.0 and when I evaluated using wes, it results into 2.93/4.0

And also, you can get conditional admission with 2.2/4.0

Hello.

Please I want to ask if it's allowed to Carry medicine like paracetamol and cypril gold with me on plane from Lagos to New York and hope I won't have issues at poe. Travelling with student visa for masters.

Urgent response pls. Biko

johnmattew:
I once met an agent that told me he will prepare a bank statement and stamp my visa,not knowing have the resources to sponsor myself.he requested for 800k for everything.he did everything to convince me that embassy wont notice.i just shook my and left and never came back....I respect my conscience alot and I don't compromise.

same agent is the one spearheading the protest against harsh American Embassy attitude towards Nigeria on punch newspaper.


please guys,flee from these ppl,they are after Ur money

Your head is complete my "bloda"

Coloniel5000:
hello house...my SOA is dated June 22, 2018 and I can't get a new one before my interview of few days time, please what would you guys advise. thanks.

Not advisable. It should atleast from September

anascopeterson:
Any scholarship for skilled workers available? Thank u

You didn't state your proposed country

Abiseundun:
Hello guys, I have to come out with the truth at this point, the agent sent me the statement of account a day before the interview, so there was nothing I could do to change it, it was a fake, but when I went for the interview, the VO took it and approved my visa, but now on their platform, it's showing refused, meanwhile my passport is still with them. Please I need urgent replies at this time, be it criticism, likely penalty and so on. Thank you all. Please just send me a pm

Another victim of wicked uncle / wicked agent.

Please I will beg all prospective applicants in the name of God or whatever deity you serve. Don't go near Abuja embassy with any of this two.

1. Fake statement of account.

2. Fake travel stamps.

They verify the two after approval or during A.P

And the latest trend is this. Out of every 10 f1 applicants, they will collect soa from atleast 8.

The reason why they won't collect from the remaining 2 is because they are on scholarship / funding / waiver.


Before you visit the embassy for your interview, please go on your kneels and beg that "uncle" or "hanty" of yours to open up to you on the authenticity of the Soa.

You know your uncle lives in a room and palour with his 3 kids, drives a 1995 Toyota and he hands over a bank statement of N10 million naira to you, please use your head and think twice before you earn yourself a ban from the US

Developers at it again

Now, she can target a music super star, a footballer, or a politician to marry

"Aiye" music video by Barry jhay comes to mind. This is exactly the story line

YoungIncredible:
Had my second attempt at the Abuja embassy today.

After seeing 6 people walking out with blue papers, I became distabilized immediately. My heart began to beat heavily and faster. On getting to the V.O, a black woman in window 10, she frowned at my "good morning" and my confidence was reduced to 5%.

I was talking and shaking at response to the questions even though I answered them well, but it was obvious in my response that I was shaky.


I want to take a break on applications and work on my confidence and how to face a v.o


Pls, can anyone suggest a way I can help myself out to build confidence please?.

P. S. I'm a naturally shy type and extremely introvert.

At 29, I can't even woo (toast) a girl confidently. My past relationships were arranged by my friends. It's a secret shame I have been trying to fight but I can't just help it anymore.

Very strong and deep. I pray you get help

UNCONDITIONAL? If an admittion is given to you , limited with conditions what and what is espected of you not to do? Gurus update abeg

conditional admission restricts you to a certain number of credits, for example, maximum of 6 credits per semester, it also place you on probation to pass with nothing less than 3.0 gpa at the end of the session with no grades less than C. you will lose your admission and status if you fail to pass the probation condition

Have got a copper friend with me here who read English education . And he wanted to go for a master program in usa, he said he graduated with 2.5 and he is 22 years old.he beg me to help him ask the gyrus in The building if he is gonna see a cheap scull that would give him admition irrespective of the GPA 2.5.

He should first evaluate his 2.5 to 4.0 us scale using wes free evaluator.

From the final outcome, he can now research for schools that accept that grade.

The probability of getting unconditional admission is slim though.

Emusan:
Please house, is it advisable for someone in early 30 to apply to a COLLEGE in US?

If admission was given, hope there won't be any hindrance at embassy? Thanks

A college is an associate degree just like polytechnic if I'm right.

And at 30, the V.O would believe you should have finished a university degree because they have seen people of 21,22,23 coming for masters degree interview.

1.It will be hard to convince them that you haven't obtained first degree at 30.

2. It will be harder to convince the v.o that you aren't even applying to a proper university for bachelors at 30, instead, you are aiming a college (poly)

3. It will be the hardest thing to convince the v.o that you already have a degree and now want to go to college. Is like a university graduate going back to start ND1 in a poly.


If I will advice you.
1. You have a good chance applying for a bachelor's

2. You have a better chance applying for masters if you already have bachelor's

Baggiopreshy:
well i have a degree In accounting Education . My uncle told me told me to go for a pure accounting and he said it is left for me to make the VO see the reasons why am going for another degree in pure accounting and he said I should let the VO know that it my second degree as an undergraduate. He said my age26 would not be a barrier , that I should make my point clare. Point like: how I was forced to study account education in Nigeria institution , secondly how the present knowledge would help and guide me and makes me more prosperous as an accounting student. Please gurus what do you think.

That information is wrong.

As science or social science education major, you can always go for masters in pure sciences or social science cos your degree is a double honor. "Bsc(Ed)"

And also, your propose Msc only cares about the majors you did in undergraduate level, they don't care about the education courses.

I did chemistry education as undergraduate and most of my friends are in USA, UK, and Canada running masters in pure chemistry (non education)


I have a lady also who did economics education from naija and she is running Msc accounting in USA presently.

The summary is this, with your accounting education, you can always do accounting major as masters, and I'm sure the V.O also knows cos they have seen several transitions like that in interviews. So, telling them you want to do pure accounting Bsc all over again because you were forced to do accounting education doesn't really sell.


They are same thing. One is single honor, the other is double honor

Good day nairalanders,
You all know I have been working on getting my school transcript but the school went on strike so I can't apply without it and TOEFL (which I hvnt written).
But yestanite,my uncle who's my supposed sponsor living in Virginia US saw the whole process as time consuming and stressful decided to send an invitation mail to me for Christmas celebration..
The plan being to restart the admission process when I come there.
So now, what's the next step because he sent the mail yesterday.
And any other relevant advise will be appreciated.
Thanks

going by your brother's invitation means you are going by b1/b2 route.

if it's successful and you decide to go to school over there, you are still likely to fly back to nigeria for F1 visa cos i learnt adjustment from b1/b2 to F1 is "near impossible" in the USA, especially if you overstayed the visiting days you stated on your forms.

i may not be completely right though.
