Be grateful if he only watches football......not the pre-match and post-match analysis and interviews. Pray he does not discover PES or FIFA 3 Likes |

beezyblaze: Better to retake a passport that meets the requirements, and attach the digital copy, not a scanned copy. You risk being turned back at the embassy if you proceed without a passport, except if the rules have changed recently. 2 Likes |

tizentos: Congratulations on the Admits. For the skype interview....it may help to look through the web page of the Prof. Identify his ongoing projects that align with your interests, research those projects and identify how you can contribute to their realization. Cite recent research effort in the projects, identify gap(s), propose solution routes you may explore if given the opportunity. Concentrate on funded projects on his/her page. All the best. 5 Likes |

Education / Re: Tell Us How You Got A Fully Funded Scholarship With A Less Than 4.0 GPA by Mitchely: 10:56pm On Jan 28, 2018 |
Aside pursuing fully funded scholarship, try out writing GRE and contacting faculty in the US that are looking out for students to offer research assistantship positions. The assistantship may cover your full tuition or a significant portion with monthly stipend for living expenses. 2 Likes |

darryjay16: 5 years for an MS, not a PhD? I will advise sending a mail to the graduate coordinator asking why? The graduate coordinator might have thought it was a Phd during the call. His reply to your mail and maybe an additional explanation from the graduate school website may help during the visa interview. Imagine the VO looking online at the school website and seeing MS duration of 2 years. All the best. 4 Likes |

Good day VOs, please your kind advice will be appreciated. My wife and daughter were recently denied F2 visas with the rejection letter stating no strong home ties. From the interview, I also think my response that they were not coming with me during my own interview played a role in the rejection. Please what are suitable home ties for F2 applicants? I am actually on paid study leave from my workplace (a Federal University) in Nigeria, and signed a bond to return at the end of my study, will this be a sufficient home tie? Also how does one rectify the discrepancy in responses during both interviews majorly due to a significant change in situations? And what is the impact of time of reapplication on the outcome after such rejection as we are reapplying? Thank you. 1 Like |

TWoods: Funny that I never mentioned you, but you are still quick to come jump to conclusions. I did not justify his lateness, but will also not mock him without knowing why and also pointing him in the right direction. The guy could have had an accident on his way, or even been sick or any other circumstance beyond his control (and yes, these occur much more frequently in a 'zoo' than in the perfect life you are so used to now). Professors in the US (I can show you emails) will investigate why (and make provisions for him for a genuine reason) and never mock him the way you do. It is funny how you have stayed in a Society where people are generally very friendly and willing to help, but it appears not to have rubbed off on you. I surely do hope it is only when you interact with the 'animals and fraudsters' in your so-called 'zoo' that you exhibit such. 22 Likes |

Also wondering why your I-20 is showing personal funds, please be prepared to answer why to the VO. For bank statements, I cant say much as I have no experience in that. All the best! 2 Likes |

The decision to move an entire family can actually be made over an eba when you land a scholarship that covers the pay of spouse a hundred folds. Stay home? Sneak? God isn't mocked?

omoluabiguy:Thank you for your advice, very helpful as I am even in the process of reapplying for them. How do we manage visit visas for a 4-5 years PhD program. Are plans not allowed to change over a 4-5 years duration. Moreover, the question are they coming with you appeared to mean are they coming with you at the moment? Maybe I should have answered, No but they will join me later. 1 Like |
