TERP10 is not a module.

it is an integration of about sixteen different modules.

It is the integration and administration of different modules and not the implementation of sixteen different modules.

i have been done with my undergrad and planning on doing my masters. Would it be a good idea to come back home to serve and return abroad to continue my studies?

Pls note you cant really dictate your location, the most recent foreign graduates were deployed to oyo stats and conditions are not too great

Hi All,

I am loving this thread beacause I was in the shoes of a lot of you in 2008. It took a while to get admitted into a school and I finally gained admission into a school in Texas to do a Masters in Accounting, My visa interview was a miracle, I had never left the country before even for holidays so people kept telling me I may be rejected, I took all the required documents and here is how the intervie went, The interview was on Dec 24, 2008 but I still remember it so clearly.
CO: Hey how are you doing
Me: I am doing good and you?
CO: So u want to do a masters in Accounting
Me: Yes
CO: Can I see your bank statement
Me: (I give it to him, he looks at it for 10 seconds)
CO: Have u ever left the country before
Me: Not at all (Smiling from ear to ear)
CO: Come get your visa next week and he gives me a card

he dint ask for any other document besides my bank statemen and the interview dint last up till 2 minutes, I kept saying maybe he liked my face but it was a miracle and a testimony,  

Now almost two years after, I am done with my masters degree, I got a job with a bank immediately i graduated and i am currently working here in texas and doing really good

SO if any of you have any questions especially about the journey through schoola nd finding a job on campus and all, I can help out with your questions, While I was in school I worked as an admissions officer so I know a whole lot about admissions, So ask the questions and I will be glad to help in anyway I can

I was told that it will hold and we have till at least 3rd week in October to apply. They are slow in updating their website and they dont until the batch is ready to go for camp nd then they will bring out the schedule etc. And yes, forget about what their website says, foreign students still get to choose!

Congratulations on your visa.

Typically they only give 2yrs and you would have to renew your visa if you want to extend it. But they didn't make a mistake.

Can you share experience?

Hello folks,
let me start by expressing my sincere appreciation to the contributors to this thread, (especially Kenzema) who have kept it as one of the most useful and mature threads on the nairaland forum. In my honest opinion this is the most useful source on obtaining the US student visa in Nigeria.

I obtained my US student visa last month in Lagos. My interview wasn't too eventful (it didn't seem so, as it was over in less than 5 minutes!), so I don't have much to write, but here's how it went.

Me: Good afternoon sir
Interviewer: Good afternoon sir. Why do you want to go to America?
Me: For graduate studies at Harvard University
Interviewer: Graduate studies at Harvard University?
Me: Yes
I: Did you apply to any other university?
M: Yes. Boston University.
I: Is there any particular reason why your schools are both in the Boston area?
M: Umm. Well, I like the area because it's a university area and ,  (I actually had no reason, and was just fumbling. And then I remembered something, ) There really isn't any strong reason. I also applied to Pittsburgh and was rejected by them, I could show you the letter.
I: Never mind. Do you have any relatives in the US?
M: Yes, a cousin. But we really aren't that close
(Another mistake. I shouldn't have mentioned the 2nd part until he asked any further question!)
I: What are you going to study in the United States?
M: Public Health?
I: Are you a doctor?
M: Yes
I: You're a doctor. Where do you work sir?
M: (I mention place)
I: How do you intend to pay
M: Internal university funding
I: Sorry?
M: Internal university funding
I: As in like a scholarship?
M: Yes, a combination of a scholarship and a loan
I: Can  I see a letter
M: I show him the letters, he already had checked out the I-20
The interviewer then starts typing something into a computer for what seems like forever; I try and relieve my tension by taking a long look around the interview hall.
Finally,
I: Ok. One thing. When you are making your travel plans, make sure you travel within 30 days to the date on the I-20, but no later than it.
good luck in your plans sir.
M: Thank you sir. Goodbye


I wish all nairalanders success in their interviews!
