Thank you very much, i will just do it here in Nigeria, if they refuse i will travel and apply from within. Hope thats fine

Debbieeeeeee:

To change your immigration status and prove that you did not have any intention to study before entering the USA, you need to file for AOS. However, I recommend that you apply for an F1 visa from Nigeria instead of going through the stressful process of hiring a lawyer to help you with the application.

Greeting everyone, i got my B1/B2 visa valid for 5 years.

How can i switch to a Masters Program in the USA.

i am not sure how to go about it, will it be easier from inside the USA because i have 6 months per entry

I have an HND and PGD Business Management.

Thank you

Follow up question my people.
So i saw some schools but they all require GRE GMAT for Ms addmission. Considering my intended course of study, do you think the GRE requirement is general and optional? Also does the GRE GMAT TOEFL help an applicant secure GA or TA or some funding from the institution.

Thanks in anticipation

Good day everyone, thank you so much for the help rendered here.

I intend to Study my Masters In Business Analytics and i will appreciate your suggestions especially if there are Assistantship opportunities.
Currently i hold a valid US B1/B2 still valid for 3years.

Thanks in Anticipation

Pee2Jay9:
Patience isn't one of my virtues so I struggled with this process but I thank God it worked out eventually.

1st Application: Visit visa refused in 2018
Study permit application - 10th July 2020
GCMS notes - 21st September, stating absolute rubbish that didn't tally with my submissions, I'm self sponsored but they said I'll deplete family savings plus other crap they wrote. I started sending plenty webforms and emails, requesting that my application be reviewed as the assessment on the notes were very wrong, all to no avail
Official refusal - October 2nd 2020. Reasons stated for me - family ties, personal assets, purpose of visit including travel history, lolz.

2nd Application - 16th October 2020
Upfront medical - 30th November 2020

NSE request for only ielts - 1st December. I replied next day telling them that I can't write cos I'm unavailable. Then I merged my LOE as to why I can't write + my medical sheet + tuition receipt of $2,500 to UoR and submitted in the column provided for NSE. I first used UoM LOA to apply but later adviced them to continue processing with UoR LOA since the previous admission was valid for only the winter term, no deferral. I haven't read of anyone doing this for an ongoing application and was strongly advised against doing it but I sent it anyway.

Medicals passed - 16th of December 2020.
17th March 2021 - IRCC finally replied one of my several emails (that processing has exceeded standard time) asking for ielts again. I had to promised them that I'll go and write it and send the upper week.
IELTS exam - 27th March 2021 but then, I didn't know that
BVL & PPR had dropped on 26th of March 2021
UPS 2-way courier to Abuja - 29th March 2021
Passport returned to me - April 2021

Documents submitted for both applications:
All IMM forms
In the Admission section, i uploaded:
Admission letter, Correspondence with school and application receipts
BEng certificate and transcript
Certifications - COREN, NSE, IPMP, NYSC

In the passport section, i uploaded:
International passport with visas to Singapore, UAE and Ghana
Birth Certificate and LGA certificate
Biometrics documents

Proof of funds section, I uploaded:
myBank statement ticket, amount to tally with a table I created to show all funds required for the duration of my study
My several Investments and pension accounts showing that the funds for my studies is only a percentage of my networth, all to prove assets and economic ties.
Employer's Letter of introduction
Payslips
Tax Certificates
Business agreements and Investment Certificates - I think some of these were unnecessary especially the FX investments.

Client info section, I uploaded: Table of content for documents , followed by LOE
Age declaration documents for parents
Birth certificates for siblings
An inauguration brochure for my dad as ICAN chairman, that had pictures of my family members as professionals in different fields
My personal land deed, survey and receipts
Proof of car ownership, explained as assets
Updated CV, Work ID card
Congratulatory emails and awards from work, some had pictures from expatriate supervisors, an award from global Manager
Employment history - all my promotion documents and offers from past and present

In summary, what I did differently was to only subtly rebut the previous reasons with same documents used for the first time (even the myBank statement was the old one I reused with no money in my UBA account sef, but I got a letter from Stanbic asset managers attesting my finances, and submitted SOA from 2016). I also paid $2,500 as part of my tuition, just to show commitment of some sort.

The Letter I wrote for the second application was termed LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION, telling the VO to refer to their error in the previous application and that I meet their requirements. I showed my POF budgeted as $50k (a % of my total) to cover the entire 2 years of my study - $15k tuition, $25k for living expenses & $10k flights and miscellaneous, as I'll be self sponsored.
Home ties were parents, siblings and friends, Stanbic asset management Investment letter, UK-DION investment certificate to be receiving monthly ROI to cater for unseen events while studying (all to show that I'm not going there to work), Pension, Landed property & Car.
I studied Chemical Eng. and going for MSc. in Industrial as a progression in my career.

The gist:
When the GCMS notes came in that first time, I feel into depression cos I couldn't fathom how poorly my application was assessed but I found strength, after many hard days, to maintain my faith, holding unto the fact that God won't leave me half-way. I reached out to plenty lawyers to just go straight to JR cos up till now, I don't understand what went wrong with that first application, considering that I had studied this thread from part 13 and know what was obtainable. I wrote my LOE using every refusal reason as subheadings and addressing each as it applies to me, but then... I learned some lessons - so much is outside my control, God is faithful so I should depend solely on Him than trust my own understanding, In such cases, sound more sympathetic than professional.

Upon seeking JR approach, one lawyer just advised me to reapply first and we'll take it up after the second time. Now, God perfected it. To all hopefuls, God doesn't put to shame those that put their trust in Him. I literally gave up plenty times and even stopped going to church, but His mercy and reckless love won't just give up on me. I even prefer traveling now than that December I had wanted, God's time is really the best and I thank Him for how it turned out.

Thanks to everyone that replied my enquiries and emails, I really appreciate y'all. I've made great friends from this forum, It's really overwhelming and I'm grateful to y'all.
Congrats and shout out to Lekiboboe (my amazing and selfless paddy that have always been just a chat away) and NairaLuck (my first application set-mate that it happened for before me, I'm happy it ended in praise for us all), IRCC made me weak to even type here again. Thanks to Frank (u literally had to stand by for my unending emails) and Dommakaveli - this 2 argued one time on one enquiry I raised, lolz, all follow o. Shout out to my UoR crew. I thank u all so much for believing in my application and wishing me success. God will always show you favor. Ehem, Brace up, landing gist to follow�

Thank you Lekiboboe, Frankrobbn1 for the support you've been giving to we Canadian Hopefuls God bless you richly, its not easy

FINALLY MY LANDING GIST !!!

we departed lagos on Sunday 27th December 2020 with EGYPT AIR.

before my flight
so i woke up at about 3:10AM on sunday, bags packed then it dawned on me me that i was finally leaving Nigeria. i had mixed feelings at first as i was heading to a new country i kept refleting o the journey so far from when i joined this thread in March 2020 how helpful its been cause i didn't use any agent, the long wait with unertainties from IRCC VFS and the likes. when the day broke i was filled with joy as my sister kept hyping me, so went to church to praie and thank God for everything before Leaving for the Airport.

LAGOS AIRPORT
So i got to the airport at about 11AM thinking i would just walk in as i had cheked in online the previous day, but no o, na so them diret enter queue . the checked all necessary documents, it was intact, i didnt need to settle anybody a dime. i saw one beautiful babe but didn't know it was Dameelee since i wasn't sure she was the one so i sent her a message through Nairaland DM she idn't reply so i said nor be she.
naso plane come o, looking very very scary, wasn't sure if i shuld board but when you look nigeria, you nor go thing twice run enter plane.
ADVICE- Bring everything you need cause services at the airport is expensive (Biro N100, Photocopy N300, Mask N500, Withdraw Cash N500 for N3,000 etc)
so the plane left, and time for food naso them give us bread and bread and bread mixed with chicken and cheese, my pain with the food esp the bread i that they were all very cold. for me the food is ZERO, so after 5 hours we got to Egypt, went straight to the immigration section, then i realised i didn't travel with my Tuition Reciept but thank God it was nott noticed. Then i confirmed this beautiful lady i saw in Nigeria was Dameelee and we connected she was nice, we waited for 4hours and now it wa time to board Cairo to Toronto. the plane was so beautiful and sharp.

tho i never enter plane before but the flight was loooooooooooooooooooooooong

after about 12hours we got to Toronto, OMOOOOOOOOOR!!!! Na me be this? from Warri to Toronto? i wan happy die but base on who we be we just package like say na normal life for us but if you see my MIIIIIND!!! i don throw backy tire. was still looking out for Dameelee hoping she nor miss for air cause she also got window seat
Fist time i saw Snow Live through the window i just dey smile inside my mind but outwardly we package ourself

fast forward, we got to immigration and my tuition reciept became an issue, i was delayed for some minutes cause they had to verify if truely iwas a student of CONESTOGA COLLEGE, finally baba gave me my Study Permit. OMOOOOOOOOR!!! i saw angels rolling re carpet for me to enter, naso me and Dameelee dey call family telling them we don finally land and cross POE

The HON RALFUDOH contacted me to pick me at the airport, when i stepped out of the aiport, MY PEOPLE OOOOOO the cold wen slap me eh infact the cold when HIT me, two seonds i reverse enter airport again before person turn okporoko finally HON RALFUDOH CAME jamming Naija gbedu songs in his car, was so warm inside.. As we dey drive, naso i dey talk OMOOOOOOOR!!! na me dey canada llike this Na me dey see Snow like this.
HON RALFUDOH was so nice that the gave me served me RICE and Confirm Pepper Stew, the food enter wella for the cold.
