Hello Guys,

Please I need someone help in here. I have used almost 10hrs going through all the details in this thread, I must say that you guys have done wonderfully well in sharing  this within the thread. Yesterday I was totally confused, about everything! But today after going through all the pages in this thread, I can boldly say that I will get the Student Visa to USA  very soon. Mark my words VERY SOON!

Though it looks so impossible, with God on my side and "helps" from you guys, I am sure that I will get it!

My problems started yesterday when I opened my mail to see that one of the schools that I have applied for Msc in USA just sent me a mail that I have been given an admission, only have to send in my Sponsor's Financial statement, so the I-20 will be issue to me immediately. My problems ,  ,  I started asking questions alone,  

Is this not too late?

I will have to send the statement, then wait for I-20?

When will they send the I-20?

Will I have time to fix appointment?

What about my SEVIS can I get my receipt on time?

I have a low score in GRE, wont they use that as an excuse to deny VISA?

Well, My TOEFL Score is fine, but my sponsor,  ?

My Sponsor is my brother in-law ( different Lastname) ,  God help me!

In fact, I have another admission given to me in McGill, Canada for WINTER 2011,  Should I just forget USA?

But, I  prefer doing my Msc Engineering in  American University, and doing it in  University of Texas would be a great experience.

I applied to two schools in  USA, University of Texas and University of Houston, hoping that  I will get an high score of about 1400,  a month to my test I had an Okada accident, I was hospitalized at Igbobi, I was unable to read,  on my test day I was still in Igbobi, I beged the Doctor to allow me go for my exam in Ikeja, he advised me to forget it or tell them shift it for me, then I did not know that I can reschedule my GRE after paying some dollars, so I went,  with POP and other medical regalia, well, all is now past tense,  I score very low, 900!  I know immediately that my dreams of securing admission into U of H and U of T has just been dashed, just because of me,  entering an Okada in Lagos. After some weeks, am to write my TOEFL, I am well then, so I decided just to write not to waste money. I score 117! Very High score, a friend of mine said.  I  was not happy about it,  what is the need?


Letter, someone told me about going to Canada, since I had a good TOEFL SCORE and most schools there waived GRE, for students that  have good academic standing in there last two years in the University.

I checked and started research about schools in Canada,  I settle for McGill, I saw it as the best University in Canada. I applied and they  gave me admission for winter2011. And about to start the Visa application to Canada.

Now that I have forgotten about USA, yesterday, University of Texas, mailed me their admission decision, that I have been offered admission in their M.Engr for Fall2010. That I should send account statement of my sponsor immediately for them to send  my  I-20. I guess they finally made up there mind to give me admission because of my excellent first degree result, my TOEFL score,my Outstanding Statement of purpose, and all the three spectacular references, that have one written by the Vice Chancellor of my University and the remaining two by Dean of Engineering and my Head of Department respectively, all attesting to my excellent academic performance during my undergraduate studies in the university,  I now believe that is not all about GRE ( The first exam that made me cry) in getting admission into schools in USA.



Back to yesterday, it was as if I was getting MAD! Letter I decided to do some "goggling" immediately,  Then, I found this thread,


Please, help in given solution to any of all the above question that are now getting me m, d,

mohaka:
can some1 pliz tell me if i am able to secure a student visa with an associate degree since i finished high skul last year and my sponsor has the available funds who is my dad.pliz hit me up guyz

waleprizu:
@ House: I got a scholarship which includes full tuition and living expenses(GA) and it was stated in my letter that I was given the scholarship after a review of my undergraduate transcript. What if the consular ask for my transcript which I dont have because it is unofficial to have a copy according to my school(LAG). pls reply ASAP,

vandops:
thats cos when u were admitted, that was your DOB on the documents you gave the school.since you are going for your masters programme, ul probably be asked for your transcripts bt il jst advice you go with all the documents and pray for favour and if they are to ask and see the difference jst xplain the situation as it is and DONT LIE

Princek12:
If you are hardworking and cherish a place that will provide you with the opportunity to strike it rich, come to Yankee; but if you like to do manual labor such as cleaning toilets and mopping floors, go to UK.
WRONG!!
There are way more successful Nigerians in the USA than UK.
I agree, thats because US is Bigger, more opportunities.
Food is also more expensive in UK than USA. USA also is bigger and has more cities and places to be than UK. USA is the shizniz. But if you don't have your papers, you go suffer for Yankee ooooo
anywhere you go without papers, na suffering

tunnytox:
Angie you too gbaski! a lot of people underate UK and talk as if america is heaven though I've not been to the US (I will be in few years tme hopefully) but I'm presently in Canada and most of what ppl talk about this country makes me laugh especially now that I can compare it with UK. I won't trade the UK for any other country as far as I'm concerned. They talked about the US having bigger opportunities but most ppl can't practice their profession in another state without passing through some other forms of rigourous process, moving within states in the US sometimes is like moving from one country to another.
