ToughGuy111:
Good evening heroes in the house.I'm new here and I would like to ask some questions and from time to time I'll pose a question as I'm a newbie.Here are my questions: I'm currently a 200 level Law student with the passion to further my education in the U.S, Masters to be precise (J.D).(1) Is it possible for U.S Law schools to admit LLB into their J.D programme? (2) Is TOEFL compulsory? (3)What cgpa and standardized test score do I need to stand a chance? Thanks in anticipation for your kind response.


Welcome to this path.

Personally, I don’t know much about Law.

So,:

2) Not really. Reason being you’re from a country where English is their major language. Like, 6/10 schools would easily waive English test for you, since you’re a Nigerian. But you can write and have it to boast your profile.

3) The best bet is to have anything 3.0 and above on a scale of 4.0. But still it’s USA, we’ve schools that go low as far as accepting 2.75 and above, but sincerely on a scale of 4.0 is what most (not all) schools works on.
Ofc, most 9ja schools works on 5.0 scale, you don’t have to worry about that, there are bodies of result evaluation that convert your results for you to 4.0 scale.

PS: Make sure you finish school with good grade.


Shalom!

Hello has anyone mistakenly entered their expired passport number when paying for visa fee and how did you correct it.

Thanks

Don’t stress it. Just go to the embassy with both Passports. As it should even be on a norm.

Goodluck!

Thanks please I would like to confirm one more thing must I complete and submit the Ds-160 form before requesting for the Emergency date… because I want to take my time to fill the form again… just want to secure a date first.

No. You don’t need to submit before requesting. I do advise 1 month to interview day for filing on ds160. Because of how complicated the form is. Ds160 “plenty for mouth”, so please take your precious time to fill before submission.

Goodluck!

I'm applying for a school in USA. I have filled the form and paid the application fee. Please what is the next step? I'm yet to get a message from the school

Which of the schools? Application against which session?

Fill form? Or you fill all the application process? Where you submitted this and that (Resume, Transcript and co).
After the filling and submission of all the requirements, you should receive email from the school that your application is now completed and you’re now to be on admission decision process.
Admission decision actually do take ‘time’, some 2weeks; 2months; 1week; 1month depending on the particular school.

So, you’ve to reach out to them to know if they receive your application and what next and/or how long are you to wait for decision.

PS: In this path, the best bet is to apply to minimum of 5 schools. So that expectation would be from “here and there” not just ‘here’, to avoid heartbreak. Lol.

Shalom!

Dear Consular,

My name is ____________

I am an F-1 visa applicant with a current appointment date of _______.

I was accepted into the fall 2022 academic program. The start date on my I-20 is January 10 2022. However, I will need to be in school earlier before then as there will be an orientation programme for graduate students by January 06 2022

I request an earlier appointment date that would allow me to resume my academic program in the United States on time.

Kindly find my Form I-20, admission letter, Sevis ID and evidence of SEVIS fee payment attached.
Thanks

Regards.

Hello guys, I just booked an appointment for October 2022; October is the earliest date I could lay my hands on.

My start date is sometime in May 2022, and I want to know if it is possible to book an Emergency Appointment more than 60 days before my start date.

Do I have to wait till March 2022 (approximately 60 days to my start date in May 2022) before I can apply for an Emergency Appointment...

OR

... Should I go ahead and apply for the EA right away?


The 60days EA application rule is the rule. Just wait! If you apply for EA before then, you would easily get an EA denial message after few mind of the EA application, e no hard them to send denial message. So calm down and wait!!!

Good luck

please i would like to know if one can choose VISA date even without paying the sevis fee

Yeah, you can actually ‘can’. Lol

Just find something like a SEVIS ID (maybe of someone else (a friend) or just look at the SEVIS ID format and come up with something like it)

No biggie; No crime; No penalty. When you get yours, you’d just go update it on the portal back. That’s all.!

After that (filling your SEVIS and co) you’d be seeing available dates, just pick up the one you think is the best bet for you.


Goodluck!

Good evening guys, My admission came in last mont for MSc Business Analytics at Texas A&M University-commerce for Fall 2022 and their International office is saying they are going to start issuing I-20 from this month. I wanted to ask if I can go on with the Visa fee payment and how to go about it.
Thanks


You would have to create your account statement n cgi portal ( https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/scheduleappointment?sfdcIFrameOrigin=null )

After, you make payment via GTBANK or on GTBank mobile app (N67,200).
You need; your passport deets to fill the payment form.

After the payment, you go back to your cgi portal to update your payment transaction receipt.

After the update, you would be seeing the available visa interview dates.

PS: While creating the portal your might see an error message of not being able to create. Send the below email to their support system:


Email: support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com

Subject: Please help me create cgifederal account from your end.

Body: Good day,

Please I’m unable to create an account, i have been getting an error
message. I would be happy if you can help me create cgifederal account so i

PS: Check out UNI OF UTAH; OKLAHOMA UNI; GEORGIA STATE UNI; UNI OF MICHIGAN, DEARBORN and also try see MISSOURI STATE UNI; BALL STATE UNI, AUSTIN STATE PAEY UNI for your field.

Nice info...please what is the requirement for statement of account? Must it show balance for a 6 months period or how long at minimum?

You’re fully funded as you said, so zero need for Account statement. Just email your school international program and ask them how to go about your i20 collection. That’s all!

Please i need a list of schools i can apply to.

I studied chemistry in my first degree and i'll like to go for it also in my Msc.

Please advise.

Good day boss!

Chemistry is a nice field of study in the USA, very very nice!!. Most schools offers it, so use your search engine to look out.

I know it GEORGIA STATE UNI, BALL STATE UNI,. With a good profile from you; you’d get ‘something good’ from these schools.

And for your Mpower of a thing, I guess there’s a way you check on the mpower site if your prospective school is ‘supported’ by Mpower.

Good day all, I just received fully funded offer from purdue University for fall 2022. Please I need guidance on USA VISA application process


Big congratulations. This is a big win for you.

Firstly, you have to request for your i20 (student docs) from the school’s International students program.

Then you pay for your SEVIS FEE ($360 can only be paid in USA) after the collection of your i20 (because it’s required while filling the SEVIS fee coupon).

Then you set up your CGI portal (visa page) and pay for your visa fee (it’s can only be paid in GTBANK or via GTBank Mobile).

Then you start for VISA INTERVIEW DATE search.

PS: it’s might look straight forward but sincerely you need to act on them in and on time.

Again, congratulations.

PS: If you need ‘help’ on not getting any of the above, you can reach out.

Congratulations!

Thanks boss I appreciate your input. I just checked again and I noticed this statement “You are approaching the maximum number of times you may view this page. Please complete your transaction at this time.” Does this mean if I exceed the time I won’t be able to check again to be able to book a date? Pls help if you have any idea. Thanks


It’s norm to get the said message, meaning you’ve been checking back-to-back. So, when your exceed the number of times, you won’t be able to check again for that day, which isn’t an offense or a crime (no penalty); the following day, you GO AGAIN.

No rush. Keep checking; KEEP CHECKING.

You can only apply for emergency 60days before your school resumption. So, I am sure there’s still time.

So, keep checking! KEEP CHECKING.

Na beg I dey beg, who can give me some hints about what to expect. Kindly signify and i will PM in due course.

Thanks


SKYPE/ZOOM INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR

So, a Professor (PI) finally replied your email:-

“Hi, I'd like to chat with you to learn more about your interest”
Congratulations. This chat is for them to connect the dot, see if there’s a fit & whether you
will make a good candidate
The following content will give an overview of the meeting and some questions you
can/should ask the Professor to show research curiosity.
SO, LET'S GO.

1. The PROF gives a brief overview of the lab, him/herself, current and past research- Here, the
PI tells you everything you need to know (pertaining to the meeting).

2. Your turn- Please be specific. “I’m Adewale, my BSc was in Civil Engineering from Yakuza
Kamakuna University, for my research under the supervision of Dr. James, I focused on
nonlinearity of hydrological system & published in Elsevier journal or presented at DEF
conference”. I use MATLAB, & R for modeling.

3. You will be asked what your Research Questions are and what you want to study for
M.sc/Ph.D.- prepare something specific to say here. (They know it may/will change and just
hypothetical for now, but you need to show you both share similar questions).

4. If your research interest closely aligns (and the feeling is mutual), the PROF will ask why you
want to do Ph.D./M.Sc and why their lab- justify this with something substantial (your career
goal for example)

Now, you will be given the chance to ask questions-

Please you need to ask questions, and below are some questions you can ask PROF during an
interview (see disclaimer above please).

A. Nature of their current and future research
Will, there be a need for someone with your skills and background, will you be working on
existing projects or have to develop your own projects with the PROF


B. The PROF’S expectation of his/her graduate students.

C. PROF’S policy regarding publications with graduate students and after your M.sc/Ph.D.- in
particular, how many papers are you expected to have published from your research.

D. How long does it take, on average, for students to earn their Ph.D. degree there?

E. Funding (this might not be necessary because the PROF should have mentioned it, if not,
PLEASE ASK)

F. Past & current research (if not said before).

G. Are they open to another but similar study system, perhaps a similar project in another
continent (if you get funding)?

H. Resources available in the lab

I. Life in that city (especially, accommodation)
With the above questions, you have engaged the PROF., shown curiosity in what they do & shown you’re ready for the task ahead

Hello everyone please I need honest advice please, I was denied 2 times for my US interview that was 2019 and 2020 but I got married 2021 and I want to apply with my husband, is it advisable we apply together?
I need your suggestions

Firstly, congratulations on your new phase.

Now, what was the reason for your denials?
What’s change/d from then or what would change in your next application?

Answer those honestly first to yourself. Then with that you’d know if you’re good to go again before even thinking of going with hubby.

The best best is to go after one and other, maybe at least months different (best bet not only bet), just to have HOME TIES in your home country. Like, you the. O would easily think, “You don come back again after 2x wey we no give you and now you come with your family all of una wan Japa at once, be calming down na” Lol.
