Absolutely right.

Euforia:
What makes you think that these guys are interested in any reward?

At their level just showing up to support Soludo is an act of goodwill that they can afford.

Look through that list, there is no e among them that cannot afford his/her flight tickets and hotel bills for that period.

Also look beyond the ensemble, Soludo is showing the world his trajectory even before being sworn in as a governor.

Our best bet is to watch him and also encourage him. He may just set the tone for a new approach to governance.

Anambra has indeed assumed the pacesetter status. Kudos to Peter Obi who was the trailblazer here making it possible for a minimum standard tro be set.

Believe me, they do not need any compensation. All of them are professionals in their fields. It's rather a good thing for them to serve on a temporal capacity to send the right message. It's time we begin to do things the right way in this country. Yes, we must recognise excellence and shun nepotism and mediocrity.

Emekaterry:
This list is too big.i didn't see heavyweights like chikodi anarah(igbakigba)uche okafor(wiper) don adinuba.soludo hw will u compensate all those in that list.

These people will not be paid by Anambra State government. This is mainly on a different level and many don't understand it. Gradually, there is a paradigm shift in politics and governance. You all witnessed what happened during the election. We watched the video how some of the voters rejected money being offered by some party's representatives. It will stay from the east and I do hope other states will emulate. It's time we vote the right people in government, defend our votes and hold them accountable for any failure.

May God show you His mercy.

Buliwyf:
That's because he was probably sick with some ailment for a long time. But due to the nature of the business the family runs they will hide it and claim that he died in his sleep so no one can question why they couldn't cure him of the sickness despite claiming to cure people and drive car on empty tank. It is sad really.

Good morning house

A friend has asked this question and I don't know what to advice.

Her F1 visa was approved on the 30th. However her school sent a message some days ago that her cause will be studied online for Spring semester. That she should plan to be in campus in Fall to continue.

The twist here now is that another university has given her admission for Spring and in-person classes.

Whats best for the situation. Can she travel to USA with the other 1-20 and change while n US? Would that be an issue at the point of entry since the course is online for the semester. Let me add it's an MS in Economics

My dear consider my advice and you will be glad some years from now.

The first consideration is who doing you want to please first with your decision? God or the young girl (who probably do not know what she wants at the moment). I advice that you choose to please God first. Learn to honour God with your body. It will become wisdom to you, bless you and lengthen your days.

The second is that you must not loose focus now. Focus on your studies and graduate with good grades. Once you are successful and keep God's instructions this lady may still be yours else God will bring a true home maker whom you deserve and your joy will be complete because she is priceless and not many would have seen her for God himself kept her for those who truly deserves her. She is the carrier of blessings beyond your imagination.

If you make this girl pregnant then so do not love her. The responsibilities will distract you.

I tell you the truth a lot of young men and women made a good decision when they were young to honour God with their bodies untill marriage. God in his faithfulness blessed the works of their hands and gave them the partner they deserved. Then comes a home that is truly blessed without unnecessary spiritual entanglement.

Stay focused, stay blessed bro.

Good evening my people. I want to ask this question for those whose study visa have been approved.

Did your University request you register for 6 hour in-person classes (6 credit) and a total of 9 credits for fresh I-20 holder else the person will not be allowed into the United states?

PLS let's confirm this and be sure b4 leaving. My IPO said it's the guideline from USICE

Ifesinachi22:
Immediately i see xxxx or Xxn i will just jump and pass. I don't have any reason to read further.

Some people see sharing this Transcript as they are even sharing money in the group. Nobody forced you my brother.
My grandmother(May God bless her soul) used to say if you are going to Bath and you won't bath well, Why bath?

You must understand that different categories of people are following this thread. Some are young graduate without much professional experience while others have worked in their field for years b4 going for graduate degree to take their careers to the next level. This transcript focused more on those in healthcare profession and how one may convince the VO based on how his or her job affect human lives. I am sure many of them here knows the transcript is helpful.

Finally, your personal opinion is recognised. Thank you.

AOS97:
Let me get back to you on this. Maybe send me a PM

Nothing like that

Philadelphia:
Nobody forced you to share your transcript.
I don’t see any need for your to share transcript and be hiding details using xx university or $xx. I’m mean, how is this even beneficial to anyone learning?

How would you have learnt if others before you shared transcript this way?

Nobody beg or force you to share transcript

I felt the name of the school is not necessary as well as the cost amount. I felt only the questions and answer was necessary. I HV read many transcript here like that. No offense please.

Visa Approved.

Transcript:

Me: Good morning Sir.

VO: Good morning. Place your four fingers on the scanner, then your two thump fingers.

Me: I did all as required.

VO: Where are you going in the USA

ME: I am a graduate student of xxn university studying MSc degree in Chemistry. I want to resume for in- person classes in spring 2021 to continue and complete my program.

VO: Which school did you attend for your undergraduate studies.

Me: I attended xxxx University with major in applied chemistry

VO:. When did you graduate

Me:. September 2009.

VO:. Why did it take you this long to go for a master's program.

Me:. Because I have been working in the pharmaceutical industry since my graduation and National Youth Service. I am having a good career in the industry. I believe work experience I have now will be on great use during my graduate program as I am mature and focused on the specific research I want to do in the area of drug design, synthesis, instrumentation & characterisation and commercialization.

VO: (looking curious) Ok tell me, what do you do now in your current role.

Me: I work with xxxbn pharmaceutical company as an Asst Quality Control Manager. Infact I analysed medicines and approve from the lab which are used by millions of people in Nigeria and other African countries. If there is a quality defects in produced drugs and I fail to detect it in the lab then lives could be lost with severe consequences.

VO: Do you know the cost of this program

Me:. Xxxxn USD. But I have GA to work in the department's laboratory, a housing scholarship for the entire duration of the program. I also have personal savings from my job.

Me: (he kept typing for some time and I didn't want silence) so I said Sir can I put on my nose mask now? Because I had earlier removed it during biometrics.

VO: yes please you can put it back on

Me: ( trying to have his attention) I said " Sir can I tell you more why this degree is very important for me?

VO: (looking straight into my eyes while I looked into his his confidence, but not arrogant) yes please tell me

Me: like I said before I analyse medicines that many lives depends on. This program will improve my scientific and technical competence in all areas of drug analysis, advanced chemical instrumentation due to the increasing regulatory requirements in promoting the quality of medicines. When I conclude this program, I will be coming back to continue to train young scientists working with me in the lab and will fulfill the requirements to be promoted to senior managerial level in my organisation.

VO:. (types for some seconds) and asked are you married

Me:. No, but I am in a serious relationship and will be getting married on my return from this program.

VO: Okay, I will be approving your visa. Go to window 22 and pay reprocity fee ( Then the usual POE advise them gave me white paper with yellow tag)

Note: I wrote this transcript BC I know it might be of great use to working professionals who have been in the industry of any for some years before going for a graduate program. In all things prepare well and pray, God can do all things. No financial documents was
asked

Pls house I need advise. I made a little error on my DS 160 form. My interview is on 6th November. It's an emergency F1 Visa appointment. Should i fill a new DS 160 form?

Good evening my people

Please I need your advise from experienced ppl in this thread.

If your company wants to give you an introduction letter for your F1 visa who should the letter be addressed to.

Fairheart pls I sent you an email, pls respond.

Thanks

dipdat123:
. Please at what dollar please at what dollar exchange rate

I paid 170k in naira

You may not need all these details after all. When I did mine I just typed the name of my graduate program send the start date.

BrTune:
The reasons I outlined when applying for an emergency visa are:

"1. Research Assistantship funding - I am interviewing for paid research assistantship positions and a major issue I am having is convincing Professors that I will be attending the Spring semester in person. This is because I need to be on campus to utilize most of the resources available, like offline library services.

2. Experiential learning: I will be taking some experiential learning courses, which involves meetings at the United Nations office, traveling for meetings in Geneva and in-person discussions and classes, and I need to register early enough for these classes due to limited seats, in other to secure my place - I must show proof that I can meet the in-person requirements, which can only be done by obtaining a visa.

3. University Campus housing: In other to confirm my University housing booking, I must show proof of my ability and intention to be available in the Spring semester. The most incontrovertible proof that I will actually take up my university housing reservation is evidence of my Visa.

4. I need this emergency appointment so as to apply to my employers for a paid academic leave of absence. To facilitate my application, I must show my employers that I have secured a visa.

Finally, an emergency visa appointment will enable me plan my travel logistics. Especially so, in light of the ongoing pandemic, which necessitates I make early flight booking, put in place quarantine measures upon arriving USA and undertake any necessary tests or vaccines prior to my departure. Overall, this emergency visa will help me plan for any contingencies.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you."

Pls my people I need help.

How do I pay SEVIS FEE. One can only spend 200USD per month with naira debit card.

I went to the bank to see if I can use western union they said they will need to receive 3 western union before they can send one.

Pls house I need help and advise.

vc1177:
Congrats! You have your I-20 handy. So far, no date has been uploaded. We keep HOPE alive!

Do you suggest I should go ahead and pay for visa and sevis fee?

Hello my people, please I need some answers.

My i20 just arrived today, do we still have interview dates available on the appointment booking system? Has any tried between the last two days and today?

Pls your response is needed. Thanks a lot.

fairheart:
Hmm! They have been many people, especially from this thread, some of which I am no no longer in touch with since they got their visas in 2019. There are currently two ladies on this thread that are bank branch managers and head of her bank department. For privacy reasons, I cannot mention their usernames, but if you tell me what you need help with, I can ask them if they can help. What do you need help with?

Good day Sir, please I send a request to DM you.

Sharon8:
Okay, thank you.

Pls remind the the full meaning by of MRV

juniorsworld:
It will be safer to fill out another DS 160 honestly, but use the same MRV to do that if it hasn't expired. You'll need to wait for the new I-20 and it has to be hard copy and original, not emailed. For your start date, you're fine.

For people like me whose start date has passed, we need to ask our DSO to help change the date.

I spoke with my school international program officer he said the USICE guideline is that 120s are to be issued via email not posted by mail till further approval from the government. He said they hv issued emailed i20 to many international students who hv obtained th their visa before there fall semester including those from Africa region.

Pls can you share the entire message?

My i-20 wil be emailed by end of September 2020. Does it mean those with emailed I-20 are not eligible? Pls share the entire message it will help a lot.

Walspring:
Can you share the link where you saw this, Although I got similar news from someone too

On their website you will find where it is stated that those who have urgent reason to travel should click on the expedited appointment . The categories covered for this expedited appointment are explained here

Can a GPA of 3.31 get you a masters degree program

Some people here are out of dept with reality. I believe the man's concerned is purely on financial security for his daughter considering his investments. It's not about being a polytechnic graduate. Many polytechnic graduates are in top management positions of many reputable indigenous and multinational companies. I have the honour of mentoring students from Uni and poly in my career. It's all based on individual. I graduated from both at HND and Bsc level

Current trend in the nigerian labour market indicates that both Bsc and HND graduates needs to upgrade their knowledge/skill set after certain time in their careers.

If the family of the woman did not see any future in him, he should walk away, trust in God, work hard and keep improving. He will meet a better woman. Never neglect the days of little beginning.

Horsepower pls I need this company's contact. I need to call and visit them.

How do we get their contact. Pls I need their contact info
