Taymoss:
Hi guys, help me thank God my visa has just been approved. Hallelujah. Will post my transcript later in d day. Thanks for ur advise and information

Congrats on your visa. Are you heading to Texas A&M university? What course?

Nice one. Thank you.

Hopefully, they are proposing resumption date to be 4th of jan. Only wondering what would happen to those of us who chose one-month notification period.

codebrew85:
Yup. You had a similar experience too?

yeah

cascas:
Maybe it could be tomorow, but i hope they dont drop peps because they have raised our expectations by welcoming us on board during the medical invite.

So CSR's medical invite too was opened with 'welcome on board'.

Yes, I wasn't required to sit for GRE. You can, so as to improve your standing. I only submitted my TOEFl result, my secondary school transcript and the transcript for the 6 month language programme that I did in China.. I'm going for undergraduate study and would be studying social work. Have you get in touch with the student advisor??.. You should try and ring her. She will direct you on the appropriate documents to submit...

Okay. Thank you. Good luck in Kansas.

Martinscue:
i didn't sit for GRE, only did toefl and got 76. Also submitted my other transcripts..Are you applying for fall ?

Really You were not required to write GRE? Are u going for Msc? What course? Yes, I may be applying for fall.

Martinscue:
A friend recommended this site to me after I got my visa.. I will be heading to Manhattan next week.. Is there anyone on here who is in KState( Kansas state university

I had my eyes on that school. What course are you going to study? What was your GRE score?

omatynx:

Request....u seem to be d only one (on nairaland) to hav gotten d mail....i might be wrong

First, do u belong in the category of those awaiting documentation and training, like @megawaves? If this is the case, then I expect that you would have done medicals and be asked to forward your pay slip. If you do not belong in this category, please state to which you do.

1.1m?

Can it go for 1.2?

rinzylee:
Norway is gradually becoming a destination for Msc in Engineering. Nigerians amongst many Africans are getting interested and they have increased their eligibility standards. Don't be discouraged bro...why not try a diff course and see if you can get admitted and then find your way from there.

A different course? All their courses have this same requirement.

Well, looks like my dream of a Norwegian study may be abandoned. After getting rejected by NTNU earlier this year, I decided to try Univ of Stavanger this window. Before the application proper, you are required to fill out a survey form which asks about your first degree study. After filling the CGPA portion in which mine falls between the 70%-80% interval, I was informed of my ineligibility for Msc in offshore engineering. I tried the survey for all the available Msc courses that suit my first degree programme, mech eng, but the response was the same. Thought it may have been a fluke. Mailed them, but they confirmed it.

@iseyinoro, got it!

iseyinoro:
Yeah in Ikeja.I'm a staff.

Hello bro. You've got mail.

@Ezegozie, talking about quality of education, have you seen the ranking of some Norwegian universities viz UiO, NTNU and UiS?

lobito007:
Guys, anyone here knows about, or has had any
experience with 'another spring'- a grad
education advisor who helps with processing
application and funding to US schools?

Someone, please...

bioduneberry:


Maybe you are referring to a different test. I was scheduled to write an assessment test in abuja last week Saturday but it was cancelled when I got there due to some reasons they explained to me and I was told the test will be rescheduled.

What a blunder!!! You can imagine if someone like me had travelled from Lag because of the test.

Bro, can u upload the engine pics?

iseyinoro:
I got to the embassy around 6am and we were told to form a queue by 6:30 am.Non immigration applicants and immigration applicants were on different queues. I was ushered in to where documents were checked around past seven and I was through less than 10 minutes. We were told to sit and we waited till 8AM before we were ushered in to the THEATRE OF DREAMS.
On getting there I saw the immigrants sitting comfortably while d non immigrants were standing. I did my biometrics and joined the queue to face the vo in window 9.He is the only one attending to the non immigrant applicants and he denied a lot of people.
He granted visa to the guy before me and I was praying for God's favor and mercy.
The transcript is below.
VO: Good morning
Me: Good Morning Sir
vo: pass me your documents(and I did) and place your hands on d machine(I complied).
vo: Why are you going to Cameron university?
Me: Cameron university is a public university with a rich history of academic excellence....(cuts me
Vo: rich history of what!
Me: rich history of academic excellence that offers over 50 degrees through two year,four year and graduate programs. The university has a 20:1 Faculty-student ratio and they offer non-resident tuition waiver to international students with strong GP after evaluation with WES.Also,Oklahoma's weather is suitable for quick adaptation of international students to their new environment as the weather is similar to that of Nigeria(he cuts me).
vo:Why would you choose a school because of its weather when there are other schools like Harvard.
me: the weather is one of the several factors I applied to Cameron but I told you about the non-resident tuition waiver which I got.
Vo: Oklahoma is just a state on its own in the united States and I wonder what attract you to Cameron. Do you have a relative,friend or family member there!
me: No sir.
vo: OK how did u get to know about the school?
Me: I work with an international education advisory company (I gave a profile of the company) and the company has a database of schools in the united States.
Vo: Did you take SAT.
ME:I'm a graduate applicant and I wrote GRE.
Vo:Can I see ur score report?
I passed it to him and he glancing at it.
Vo: whats your score in analytical writing?
me: it's 4
vo: what's your total score?
me:294
Vo: but I can't see your see your score(he was glancing both front and back of the report and I told him to pass it to me so that I'll show it to him and I showed it to him).
Vo: when did you write the GRE?
Me:January 23rd 2015(that's the day my landlady died and it coincided with the date I wrote the exam)
Vo: I would issue u the visa bla bla bla( I went blank instantly and was waiting for my form for collection of my documents).As I collected the form I was rushing out of the hall and he called me back;as I came back he glanced at his computer for some seconds and he said "you can go".
PS: Some F1 applicants dressed shabbily to the embassy wearing palm slippers with a Jean trouser and their shirt tucked out.
Again write standardized tests, they could be your saving grace and finally, pray,pray and pray.
I would want to use this medium to thank the gurus in the house for their corrections and contributions,God bless you all.

Congrats on your visa, bro. Please may I have the name of the international grad education advisor you used?

Guys, anyone here knows about or has any experience with 'another spring'- a grad education advisor who helps with processing application and funding to US schools?

I think I met her today. She's quite young tho...if she's actually the same person you were referring to.

olujastro:
Anyone here planning to apply to UiS(Stavanger) here? Would like to make enquiries about certain issues.

Hit me!

codebrew85:

Slim? Often smiles?

What needs to be fixed in the car?

enque:

Good one! I'v sent you a pm. Let's have a tete a tete.

Oooops:
okk!!! Am there now.. heard its a chat...

Were you asked to submit pay slip before/after medicals? Please codedly ask how many stages are left for ESR's after pay slip submission. Medicals? another interview? and proposed resumption date. Good luck with your chat, bro!

omatynx:

Didn't get any......best of luck lobito

Which did you not get, offer letter or request for pay slip?

Oooops:


congrats Jare!!!
God will perfect what he started!!!

Amen. I am only amazed at the unusual trend. No 2nd interview or medicals before request of pay slip. What could be the next stage!
