Saw an update about a UK man that reported her wife's fake IELTS because the wife reported him for physical abuse, both now sent out of the UK and back to Nigeria.

I was doubting the story because from my own experience "is it even possible to run IELTS?"

Now from this story and the responses that have followed so far, I understand that many things are going on, even if someone like me do not know how they are being done.

I fear we Nigerians.

IELTS o, TOEFL o, GMAT o, GRE o. It’s all runs. All thanks to Covid and remote testing.

This is why complete distance learning can never work In Nigeria.

Lol. Considering she’s a fraudulent individual, I’m certain she has a paid husband already.

But Americans hate academic dishonesty and fraud. This will follow her no matter what. And it does seem the school will/has cancelled her sevis record.

They will soon make it impossible to write the test from Nigeria like the NCLEX and everyone will rest.

Absolutely. I read something like that recently. The affected countries were Nigeria, China, Indian and Brazil. Ets is considering ending the at home gre as that is where majority of the runs is carried out

Good evening great people,

Please I need your kind input in this issue as the matter is more than me.

Someone called me and needed my advise and I do not have an idea on how to start advising the person.

So she said that her school emailed her about a meeting earlier today . I think the email came last week or so.

So when she joined the meeting today, she said they told her that GRE wrote to them(the school) and stated that they are declining the GRE result given to her, reason being that her image Abi her picture is not consistent.

So at this point , I became confused , I asked if she has any issue with GRE prior to now but she opened up and told me that she paid one agent in Nigeria to assist her write the GRE and her score was so high . The GRE result is authentic but was not written by her.

Also this GRE was done to see if she can get scholarship but she didn’t get the scholarship from the school as at the time she enrolled , probably because the fund has finished or something. This GRE was written for her in 2021 and she entered America last year fall. This spring is still her 2nd semester.

While she was still explaining this to me, a mail notification came to her phone and she checked the mail. The mail stated that the school has told her that she is no longer needed in program.

Please any advise for her. She acknowledged that she didn’t do well and has requested I give her my sincere advise . Should she start looking for another school ? Will she affect her record/sevis? Does anyone know anyone that had encountered similar issue in the past ?


Hopefully they cancel her sevis record and ask her to exit the US.

I posted something similar but I was attacked here. Everyone and their gateman Is scoring 320+ in GRE and it’s all runs. ETS is aware, the schools are aware, even the embassy is aware.

FYI. If the school cancels her sevis record, she won’t be able to transfer to another school. She will have 60days to exit the US before she starts accruing illegal stay.

If it smells like shit, then it’s probably shit. If you weren’t an agent, which you are, you will drop the name of the school and go your merry way instead of asking people to contact you.

I just looked GeorgiaTech up. It's a highly ranked public school and one of the best engineering colleges. I don't know your total COA but I will advise you try to get funding from your department if they didn't give you any during admission. The school also has tangible endowment funds so might be lucky to get funding from your program if you try hard. Wish you best of luck, bro!

While Georgia Tech is very prestigious, they admit students without funding. Even PhD students are admitted and told that their admission is contingent on them securing a PI that will advise them. (This happened to a friend who was admitted to their Mech ENGR PhD program)

You don’t sound like someone who has first hand information on what they’re talking about so it’s of no use doing a back and forth. NICU units manned by NP’s what happened to the pediatric neonatologists. FYI NICU units depending on which level always have Nurse practitioners, NICU nurses and paediatric Neonatologist's on ground at all times.
Google is not always correct sometimes or let’s say it doesn’t give the true picture.

Lol. I can say same. You claimed DNPs earned more whereas having a DNP doesn’t increase your income or practicing rights.

The long and short is that Some NPs will earn more than some MD/DO

Maybe if you said DNP’s that own their practices I’d have said maybe maybe not.
Paediatric doctors make a lot of money, let your child land in NICU and you’ll know how much they make on a daily.

DNP is a professional Doctoral degree. It means very little. As long as you’re an NP, you can Practice in accordance to the law. Finally even most (more than 95%) of NiCU units are man by NPs not physicians.

Google is your friend.

Lol. You have no idea do you?

Lemme educate you. A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is an anesthetic provider who can provide anesthetic care to patients. They can practice in all 50 states and typically do not require Physician supervision. Starting salaries for CRNAs is on the high 250k$. Most FM/EM doctors will not smell that salary.

Psychiatry NP are Advanced Practice Nurses with training in Psychiatry. They can do everything an MD/DO trained Psychiatrist can and can also have prescription rights in all 50 states. They will typically earn more than most Drs.

How does APNS make more than medical doctors? Which one of them makes more than medical doctors?

I already advised that clown she would be denied at the embassy with that ABSN I-20.

CRNAs, Psychiatry NPs, Dermatology NPs etc make more than some medical specialties like Family medicine, Emergency Medicine, Pediatric Medicine and a few others.

Hello everyone! I recently got admitted to American University for MA Political Science. The drill is, I have to take 33 credits, and the cost per credit is $1922. That’s $63, 426. They’re giving me a tuition remission of $1222 per credit taken, that’s $40, 326 scholarship. I also have a 10 hour/week GA totaling $10,560, that makes the whole scholarship $50, 910 for the total scholarship. And there is a tuition deficit of $13k plus. This school is in Washington DC and the living expenses high asf. What do you advise? Taking mpower loan of $30k plus will settle the tuition but will not settle everything. What do you all think? Please don’t ignore because I don’t want to waste my $250 deposit.

Is the school Catholic uni? If yes, I’d consider my other options.

Edit: it isn’t CUA. After scholarships and GA deduction, what is the deficit?

Observer25:



I guess he is just being a realist. Student visa is granted on the assumption you will return to your home country after school. If that's the true case here, how do you plan to pay off the 63k while back home in Africa after completion. Or may be use 1 year OPT work to pay it off? Submiting such huge loan sum shows an immigrant intent. You not coming back! Life is all risk but weigh your options clearly.

The sad part is Mpower requires monthly payments while the student is still in school. Most of the students still use the same Mpower loan to pay the monthly payment. We haven’t factored in the high interest rate.

Hello!

I got a full funding and GA from these schools - University of Florida and University of Maryland, now I am at a crossroad of accepting one.

Which has a lower cost of living and opportunities. BTW, I am studying MFA - Painting

UF is rated higher than UMD although UMD has one of the best CS programs. You should look at where you want to live for 3years, cost of living, program fit, etc

Good evening All,

kudos to those who has been channeling much energy to advice everyone who is seeking guidance on this page, God will continue to light your path for directions.

My questions is Can I use investment account for 1-20 form request Instead of liquidating it to fund my account?

Secondly, if a school requested for proof of fund, will it be only Tuition fee or it is mandatory to include accommodation and other living cost?

Thirdly, if you are going with your spouse will u have to include your spouse expenses to the quotation on proof of fund or they will be the one to decide?

Thank you all once again

These questions are best answered by your school. Your school will have a list of acceptable POF. Your total COA will also be calculated and made known to you by your school.

These schools will require you to evaluate your transcripts.

Fitchburg state University MBA program full tuition is $13,400 or so for the full program.

University of North Alabama as well.

I was about to list Fitchburg state too. I heard they also offer RA but without tuition waiver.

Most times its not because of the loan they were denied.

The loan might add up to it but its not 100% cause of the loan, with what I've gathered.

Nowadays it is 100% due to the loan. An F1 visa is a non immigrant visa. This means that the Student is expected to return to their home country at the end of their education. $63000*1500 is 94,500,000naira. The average salary of a masters degree holder in Nigeria is less than 200k per month. How will a student with almost 100million Naira deficit convince the VO that they plan to return to Nigeria?

I have been unable to apply for Form I-20 because I am still solving my proof of funds problem with my employer. I'm not sure how long this will take. But I'll like to apply for Form I-20 as soon as possible.

Can I apply for Form I-20 with a proof of funds that is different from the one I will eventually use to apply for a student visa?

To rephrase: must the proof of funds I present to the school for Form I-20 be the same as the one I present to the embassy?

I hope to hear from you guys soon.

Some people say that schools are required to upload your financial documents to the sevis portal. How certain this is, is unknown. Best to have the same source if funding you submitted to schools with you while attending the interview.

Also, some schools list source of funds on your i20. You may not have the opportunity to explain the discrepancy during the interview.

You don’t need the i20 to secure a visa appointment if that’s why you’re in a hurry.

Also, for your information, i have my reasons for choosing a nursing program and just because you think it's a wrong decision doesn't mean shit to me! once again, Bleep OFF!


Hello,

I’m not sure if your MPH was funded or provided any scholarship, but if it does, it may be better to attend the interview while going for a Masters degree as it show’s academic progression. You can always change schools/programs when you enter the US.

ABSN is the better option here( to me). The opportunities for a US trained nurse is unlimited. Some APNS make way more money than medical doctors. If you can afford it, by all means go that route.
