Very correct.

After tens of denials from top oil firms due to my ignorance, I learned my lesson. Whenever they ask if I was authorized to work as an international student, I always said NO, and what always followed was rejection emails.

So I did a little research about CPT. I found out that I can actually work, get a work authorization on my I-20 and use that as my work permit. So, the next opportunity came, I was asked if I had a work permit. I boldly said YES. A week later, I was offered the job.

The company told me they use E-Verify, so I knew I couldn't come up with any silly excuse. So I told them to give me a month to resume, they agreed. I went to my international officer, I told her I needed my I-20 to be authorized for CPT. She said I can't since my major didn't require an internship. I went to go talk to my professor, he refused saying they can't create an internship class for me since they had never done that before. I didn't say anything. I'd done my home work before then. I told him I would get back the following day.

I already knew what I was going to face. So I'd carried out an extensive research. I had my school and department catalogues dated back to 1970. Therein, I found out that there was an internship class for most STEM majors. You can register for a 1-5 units internship class any semester you want and get a CREDIT/NO CREDIT GRADE. I guess no one had used it before in my department hence my professor's ignorance and refusal.

The following day, I went to his office, showed him the catalogue, and told him I wanted to register for the class. He had no choice, he registered me and apologized that he didn't know that I could actually take an internship class. So I let him write me a letter saying that the internship class was part of my curriculum and would make me gain real life experience. I submitted that to the international student officer and she generated a new I-20 with a CPT work authorization which showed my start and end date, number of hours, including the company's name. So I called the company and told them I needed to register for an internship class and that I had no money to pay for tuition. I got them to pay for my tuition.

I knew E-Verify doesn't recognize CPT work authorization at the first check, so I told the HR folks that I would be rejected by E-Verify but should do a secondary check after that. They did that and the check was positive. I started working and even had to extend my end date like twice because I claimed I wasn't done with CPT. My internship grade in school was RP (I discussed this with my prof.). After I used all my life lines, I registered again for another internship class for another semester (I claimed part time on my I-20) but was working full time. I told my company to only pay me half time while the remaining half should be counted volunteer. They agreed but got compensated for the other half in another way that I will like not to mention here.

To cut the long story short, I am still with the company today. And whenever I look back at how I worked my way into getting the CPT approval and taking some bold steps in 2012, I just smile and thank God.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Guy u re a super Hero o, it gonna be hard following ur steps, such perseverance....Mehn baba Twale

Hi House,

I also need help.
I have been looking for affordable flights to Texas and it looks like Ethiopian is the cheapest I have gotten, Like 297k one way to Houston.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I[b]s it safe to travel Ethiopian on a one way without been stopped or unduly questioned?[/b] I also saw air maroc but 41hours flight is somehow too much.
Please if anyone knows how to get more affordable flights, I will appreciate it.
Thank you

Try Emirates. Com check if u can still find a flight for ur date

I've only been to Benin republic in my travel history and it was during my NYSC in 2012, but I do not have their stamp on my passport. Hope this won't be a red flag to the VO. I filled Benin as my travel history on my DS-160.

The trip was just for pleasure with my friends and we came back the third day.

Anyone with experience on this ish? @Bigfrancis21

Going to Benin doesn't help ur case in front of the VO, if u include just be ready to answer questions abt it.

Sorbital:
I did qualified for it cos I reapplied for emergency...I copied and pasted same reason; this time, they approved it.. just now; but the difference between the original date and the new available date is just 1day..

You can get an earlier date without applying for emergency, just keep checking d website from time to time, earlier dates like 10th could open up n u reschedule

Go sell am give bank nah, u don't have a problem, even banks need d Dollars unless u have other intentions...n how much do plan on selling it.

ototoyi:
why do all of you sound so harsh. has it occurred to you that some of us live/ school outside the country? and we need money to spend back here now?
so much for nairaland

Its sounds like u re in Nigeria, bcoz u were asking about Visa interview in Lagos n I was asking to confirm, and now u re implying u re outside Nigeria. I asked bcoz I'm interested in Cash not wired money. I wasn't harsh In anyway, ur questions re just confusing n needs further clarification

ototoyi:

Hi mbeenox, pls I'm applying to tamuk and i was sent a mail that they do not accept wes evaluation. I cannot start going through the stress of evaluating again plus the financial burden. Secondly i noticed they did not include letter of recommendation and statement of purpose as pary of the requirements for natural gas engineering. I find it hard to believe. Do u think it's possible. Abeg house help oh. I can't evaluate my transcript again. Anybody knows anyone in tamuk i can contact? Thank u

I don't know much about WES evaluation, its probably true if it was stated that u don't need a SOP n letter of recommendation.. U can still contact admission office of the school to be sure.

ttmacoy:
Having no credit history does not make you irresponsible, but it means there is no universally accepted way to confirm you are responsible hence landlords etc will ask you a deposit from you. Even simple getting a phone contract they will ask you for a big deposit because the universally accepted way to confirm the credit worthiness of a person is via their credit history and score.

You do not need a credit card but it is a useful way to build your credit history. Even if it is a $300 credit card and you are spending $50 every month and clearing it up it builds history that this person pays his obligations as and when due.

So basically, u build points by buying often and big with ur Credit card and repaying on time.

Good day house. I applied to about 4 schools for Masters in business administration and I was rejected because of my low GRE score of about 282. And GPA of 2.87/4.0 Please can someone tell me a school that can accept me with my GPA and GRE score for masters in business administration. I'll be bery grateful. Thank you

Check the rankings of the schools u applied to, and select lower ranked schools, or write another GRE and Ace it. Get a score of above 300. Try ETSU or Texas A&M Kingsville

GboyegaD:
May I ask why it can't? Some of us have our FD with MfBs because they pay better interest this, if I choose to sponsor a relative, they have no choice than accept it because tey are licensed by CBN.

They will accept n won't complain, and then they might deny u n u can't complain too....its always better to use a commercial bank
