Your visa is valid for 2yrs. You don't need to attend another interview. All you need to do is to get a new i20 for the session your are planning to resume. So inform your school about your decision.

Thank you

Hello house please I'm currently in a dilemma. I recently got my visa for fall, however due to personal reasons I'm considering deferring my my admission for a year.
I want to know how best to go about this and if I'll need to reapply for a visa if I should go this route. I'll really appreciate your help.

Nerdychukz:
Congratulations bro

thanks man

Any funding or scholarship?

in state tuition

Hello..my visa was approved some days back, I really learnt a lot from this forum and hopefully someone can learn from this too. Overall the interview was good, the VO was really nice. I thought the interview was going to be in an enclosed space though lol

Visa Approved

VO: you're going to the US, tell me about this?
Me: I'm going to the US for a Master's in Engineering with a focua in industrial automation and control at Texas Tech University.

VO:what will this course do for you?
ME: Upon graduation and completion of my Masters program, I will be a skilled and highly proficient Control Engineer applying advanced automation processes in production system. This is a skill that is in high demand in Nigeria especially in the manufacturing and production industry, from the oil and gas sector down to the production of consumer goods. I plan on returning back to Nigeria to apply this skill and take advantage of this opportunity.

VO: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to four schs..mentioned them.

VO: how many admitted you?
Me: I got into 3.. Mentioned them

VO: why Texas tech?
Me: Apart from the Whitacre (I'm not sure I pronounced this right) college of engineering at Texas tech being highly prestigious and well respected, I am keen on joining an ongoing research in pulsed power and control led by Dr Dickens, this is a great and direct step up from my undergraduate thesis were I also worked using pulse width modulation. I also received a partial scholarship at tech.

VO: when did you finish sch and what have you been doing?
Me: I graduated with a BSc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Nov 2017 and was mobilized for national service in January 2018. I served as a physics and ICT teacher in a federal government sch and I completed my service in Jan 2018. During this period, I took several refresher and graduate preparatory classes as part of my preparation for graduate sch.

VO: who is sponsoring you?
Me: my father

VO: **asked for his SOA

VO: what does he do?

VO: have you been to any other country?
Me: yes, I had bachelor's degree in Ghana

VO: I'll be approving your visa............

I stuttered a bit and I won't say my delivery was exactly the best but that was it. God did it. Again thank you.

PS: if you're also heading to Texas tech or already there, send me a pm if you don't mind.

Hi.

1. Yes, you can transfer to another school even after getting your visa with Lamar. But you must make sure you do that before classes start.

2. About rankings between the 3 schools; it does not actually matter. Go to anyone that offers you good funding.

Hello, please I just sent you a pm. I’ll like to ask you a couple of questions regarding this. Thanks

juliuscapps:
I just sent you a mail pls... Kindly respond as I need some clarification from you!

Done

Congrats bro, Texas Tech is a very good school , what's your major?

Electrical engineering, I haven’t received admission yet though

auriel:
Who knows about Texas Tech University, Lubbock?

Is it a good school and how about the city? Are there opportunities as well?. I got an admission with out of state waiver.

I hear it’s a great school. I applied here too, did you apply separately for the out of state tuition waiver ?

KingStefan:
Please, Did Lamar University accept unofficial transcript to be uploaded for admissions?

No, they needed the official transcript.

LagosismyHome:
i seen this school before in transcript ........ Use the search button up and type in Lamar VO ..
Then you can PM the person or people . Congrats

Thank you.

Hello, please is there any past current or prospective graduate student of Lamar University in the house? I recently got accepted and I would like to ask a couple of questions

Ajibade105:

Good day house, please where can I do a Tuberculosis Test In Lagos. Your reply will be greatly appreciated

chiboy429:
Weldone boss please do you know of any organisation or body that offers funding for msc programme which you can share or recommend for me . please I seriously need one to help me cover me living and accommodation expense . Thanks

Well it’s nothing you don’t know, depends on where you might come from, some companies/organization often do this as part of their service to the host community.

Time2win:
Haba, you dont need to get a supervisor before applying go U.S schools. U.S is not like canada or Australia. Just apply, they will match you with a supervisor.

You might have just saved me!!! I didn’t know this. Thank you very much, I’ll definitely give it a shot

Hello, i have been a tacit member here. Also, preparing to write my GRE soon. Please how did you go about your free WES evaluation for GPA.

. Sorry I’m just seeing this mention, however I believe you’ve been put through.

Time2win:
Why are you going for a non thesis program with this great GPA of yours and your GRE score is not bad at all. Please apply to MS/PhD programs and am sure you will get funding with this profile.

Thank you for your reply. I considered but I haven’t been lucky getting a supervisor so I decided to go for a non-thesis and try to get funding from a third party. But please can you suggest schools that’ll be my best bet (preferably in Texas)

Good afternoon all, Congrats to all those that secured admission, funding and visa.

I’m currently preparing applications for a Masters in Electrical Engineering (non-thesis), I recently took the Gre which really hit me but I’ve decided to proceed using it. Please I will greatly appreciate any help

My profile
GPA (free wes evaluation): 3.8/4
GRE: 153Q, 155V
IELTS: 8.0
Work experience: Industrial training for 6 months (and NYSC posting to a school)

I have tried to pick out a few schools that I think would fit my profile (mostly as a result of the Gre)
Texas tech
Texas state
University of texas Dallas
University of texas Elpaso
Texa A&M kingsville

However I can only afford to apply to 3 schools, please I would appreciate your suggestions and advice, I’m also open to other school suggestions (preferably in Texas. Thank you
