I am new here. Can someone please help me out on how to get USA student visa with hnd.
Guy, go and do PGD, get the transcript and include it in your application.. else they will ask you to do Bachelors degree first, and rubbish your HND

Travel transcript

Flight was on Sunday 14th August.
I got to the MMIA around 2:45pm, joined the queue at Emirates stand to get checked in for boarding pass and collect baggage claim.

The immigration officer asked what items I had, told him clothing, garri, beans and dried fish. He used his hand to feel all the items and ask me to "shake body" I gave him 1k sha.

Moved to get boarding pass and baggage claim, then I was directed to go to gate E55 for pre boarding check.

All the officials at immigration checks want a tip. Well I gave few and ignored others after I had given my brother the remaining naira cash on me, then I bid my family a goodbye as I joined gate E55 queue around 4:12pm.

By 4:48PM, I was done with all checks, joined the large crowd sitting at the waiting room of gate E55

I boarded by 5.30 after my zone number was called, checked for my number seat and things seem to happen fast.
I did not have chance to seat with a chic, I was stuffed in the middle of 2 elderly ladies, pretty sure they are mummies..

O boy... Emirates sweet. The touch screen in my front cannot be fully exhausted, well I no dull myself. I listened to music tracks of Fela, Whitney, Rihanna & Bob Marley, watched CNN.

Plane took off exactly 6:06pm, Naija time.
I decided to eat spiced chicken with herbs, plus orisirisi appetizer. Anytime I remember the amount wey I use buy ticket, I go juz vex put mouth for everything in my food tray.
Some will taste like Shiite, but I go juz gulp water to drain it down. Drinks?? I had few can of beer, spirit mixed with juice and white wine. Wetin concern me.

Watched Money Monster, listen to music, slept off for a while then we landed at Dubai 4:30am for stop over.

Mehn Dubai airport na business center.
I located Gate C17 for flight connecting to Houston.
Used WiFi to connect to a dubai laptop seller that we already had a deal to deliver to me at Dubai airport, he did not reply chat then I wasted money to buy a call card for 30AED
His fone rang, but he wouldn't pick up, I had to dash out the call card to a cleaner at the airport after I tried calling Naija all to no avail.

Boarding to Houston flight started at about 7:40AM Dubai time.
Took off around 9:15AM Dubai time
I slept alot during this flight cos my seat was close to the air hostess where I had chance to stretch my legs.
Smell of food always wake me though grin
Stop over @Toronto to refuel 2:18PM Canada time. We never alighted here, so I viewed Canada from the window.
In about 45mins we were on our way to IAH.
Watched movies, CNN and listened to music mostly while I napped.

By 5:20 we landed at IAH and moved to POE.

POE: Hello! Your passport pls, what are you doing in the states?
Me: I'm here for studies as I gave her passport, admission letter and i20.
POE: Oh. You are a student.
Me: Yes ma'am
POE: Checks my passport and mentioned my name almost correctly and smiled, then asked if she pronounced it well
Me: I smiled back and said yes.
POE: What are you studying?
Me: Computer Sc.
POE: OK, she then proceeded to do biometric

She then asked me to wait at the back of her booth that an officer will come take me from there. Holding my passport and i20.
I waited a few seconds and an officer directed me and some few others to a room where immigration and police admitted us in.

I think one lady from Algeria had issue with her visa, dunno if she was deported.

While waiting in this room to be attended to, I sharply connected to Wi-Fi, chat up my uncle, who told me that he is already waiting for me outside.

Then I made a silent prayer to God that nothing should hinder me.

After about 30 minutes the officer called me and handed over my docs - passport, i20 and admission letter.
Then I went down through the escalator to claim my baggage where it passed through screening, my passport was checked here again.

Then I was free, and voila I went out of the airport to meet my uncle....

Mehn. America is damn organized.

LagosismyHome:
Some of these boils down to personal choices...
1. Some sims dont work with our naija phones. Dont have d technical reason why this problem but i have heard of At&t sim not working but then u put lycramobile and it works. ..and vice versa
2. You can bring your old handset from naija...but if u need to buy a handset then paying small small in contract better than releasing that money one time in buying outright
3. Iphone or Android. ...no answer . This one na personal preference

In america to call and recieve no difference so u have to be aware of that. If u take a contract plan which states lets say 100 minutes then that applies to any calls in or out. Most contract will be unlimited minutes so that helps if u get that package ....contract package will work out cheaper than pay as u go.. ... lycramobile or At&T is popular these days as a cheap contract package but without phone. You can get AT&T monthly package of $25 or if u feel its too expensive u shop around. So all comes down to personal budget

If u homesick and need to call naija frequently. . Calling through rebtel is not bad. You can download on your phone and buy credit to call

Depending on the state, my state won't allow you to drive with the Intl drivers licence, you must write their online test and also do the road test.

imperiouxx:
Learner's permit doesnt require any road test. To get a learner's permit you have to past an online test first. After getting the LP, then check with the local driving schools around you to schedule practise road test sessions. And if you want to practise with your own car, you have to have a licensed driver beside you, then you can drive your own car everywhere without violating any laws.

Wassup boss, have you been able to book a flight to Houston? Just checked Qatar Airways site and the cheapest flights I saw to Houston are: $1281.81=#256,362 (24 July) and $1,190=#238,000 (21 August, this is not an option i guess, since resumption is 22 August). Whichever flight you opt for, you can book your flight on Qatar website and pay the exact naira equivalence at the specified bank. You can check the airline website for more info oga mi.
Thanks cutemorgan. But is the destination airport IAH?? will check tho.

You might need to contact your school's admission advisor to get the details of the school account.
In my case, the school instructed me to go through peerTransfer to make the payment.
Please find out details from your school.
Tell me about the Peer transfer.. Which one did you do.. Is the peer transfer same as form A?
