Anyone in need of naira for dollars - application fee.

Hello guys,

I need help with financial docs to process my i20, I have scholarship but I still don’t know why my school is asking for docs to release the i20. Anybody to the rescue ?!

Good evening, can anyone please help me review my personal statement?

I never get tired of asking questions here cos I know you guys will do perfect justice to it.

So here goes nothing; a requirement that was included in submitting my graduate application is my CV, I am going for studies in Chemistry but ever since I left university I have only work in non- related fields to chemistry. My question now is should I disregard those experiences in my CV and pad it up or I should leave it as it is.

Thanks and Regards

Please oh

Had to put the details here, the interview was fast, it was more of a casual discussion.

Congratulations

Did you submit toefl results or was it waived ?
Plus did the school accept unofficial transcripts for admission process, I can’t seem to find the info on the website.
Thanks

GRE Acers, thank you so much for your prayers. We made it. �

Now to Biometric:

A young lady saw that I came all the way from Jalingo to have my interview. She asked why I chose Lagos instead of Abuja, I told her that dates were unavailable in Abuja when Lagos consulate opened. She also asked if I have visited Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State before, which I answered NO but I'll be visiting soon. She said she's been there and she's wishing me good luck with my interview. This conversation helped me relax so much.

My conversation � with VO.

The VO has just opened (two other guys have started interviewing others, one was asking so many questions in which I was supposed to meet with him but within me, in my spirit, I was rejecting him.) God answered my prayers, bringing another VO for me.

VO: Next applicant please
Me: Good morning sir

Alhamdulillah �.

Thank you Pepe and Bayonle for everything you do for me.

Congratulations bruh
I was also thinking of applying to the same school, what’s your profile like, I mean GPA, GRE score and did you write Toefl ?
Thanks

Guys, finally applied for the passport and got captured today.

Once I got through the gate, everything was seamless.
Although the payment issue tried to raise its head again, it was resolved.

Thank you all. Hope to collect it in 2weeks!

I guess you’re the lady I did the whole processing with.

Rhuth:
Payment has finally reflected.

Thank you guys! I'm grateful.

Just that these people spoilt my today's capturing plan. Will have to go to Ikoyi on Friday since tomorrow is a public holiday.

Thank you all!

I’ll be there on Friday as well.

Do these people work on public holiday? I mean are they going to work tomorrow?

TOdus18:
I just completed the process myself yesterday. I paid the 26k online and went to Ikoyi for the processing and capturing.
It was very seamless.
My experience with the servicom guys wasn't exactly pleasant, instead I had better service from the other immigration guys and nobody requested for an extra dime.
The hassle now will be getting the passport as they still claim that 32pages booklets are unavailable.

What was now the date on your print out as the collection date for the passport ?

Is 32 pages passport now available at the ikoyi office ?

Jubrilawest:
pls did Cleveland accept unofficial transcript for admission or it is official transcript your school sent to them?

I used unofficial.

[quote author=misslag post=89749118][/quote]Ohh cool.

I guess we should keep our fingers crossed then.

misslag:
Hey I got admitted also for spring 2021 but my graduate director said he is not sure about funding for now due to the pandemic. Still hoping for something

Oh thanks for the info.

I’m going for fall’20.

What program are you going for ?

Who knows anything about Cleveland State’s funding process.
I just got admitted to their MSc Chemistry program but no talk of any assistantships yet.
