Nothing ma'am

Ok. It's well

gbadeolu1:
Hello guys. Got my visa approved today at the Abuja consulate.
2nd time attempt. Again, first to be interviewed.

Here's my my transcript:

VO: Good morning (I replied)
VO: have you ever been to the US before?
Me: No. Not to the US.
VO: OK. How about any other country?
Me: Yes.
VO: Where?
Me: China. (He didn't hear, and I had to repeat that)
VO: for how long were you there?
Me: 2 years (he said oh, cool)
VO: what did you go for?
Me: I went there for my Master's program.
VO: Ok.
*The conversation above took place under the first one minute or so, even before taking my biometrics*

VO: ok, please place your fingers for capturing. (I did)
VO: pass me your passport and documents. (He perused my i20 and typed at length. At a point he nodded his head as though in agreement with something. That sent a relaxing feel across my mind. I was like, this man is getting convinced I'm worthy o. lol

VO: What's your highest qualification?
Me: Master's degree
VO: In what?
Me: Mechanical Engineering.
VO: what's your specific area in mechanical engineering during your MS?
Me: Electrochemical Corrosion (At this point, I was uneasy because my PhD research will not be exactly in this area any longer, and I will have to explain why it so. I wasn't really happy at this point. Thanks I have my nose mask on, cos my smile went away momentarily. lol)

VO: Ok, I see you have assistantship. How much of your tuition does it cover?
Me: My tuition is around 33k but my overall expenses is $52,741 and that's even below my assistantship. And I have about 4k in surplus.
VO: Yeah, that's right.
VO: Are you single or married?
Me: I'm married. (He briefly glanced at my ring finger, it was empty.
VO: So, will your family go with you to the US?
Me: No they won't. (He waited for more explanation) I continued to say, "but I plan to pay scheduled visit to Nigeria at least once in an academic session". A beautiful expression came on his face when he heard "scheduled visit" I really could perceive it. And he continued to type at length.

VO: What does your wife do?
Me: She's into sales of clothing materials, shoes and bags.
VO: Ok. He puts my newest passport in a box beside him leaving the old one behind at his front. At this moment, I knew it's a YES!
He handed me the white paper and said "It will take about a week before your visa will be ready and you will need that paper to claim it"
Me: Oh, ok.
VO: You can go.
Me: Wow. Thank you very much. God bless you.
VO: you're welcome.

I'm the happiest man today!!!

Congrats bro

horlahsunbo225:
Finger crossed ma'am

How far bro. Have you heard anything from your department about funding?

Please any WhatsApp group for those going toTexas Tech University?

horlahsunbo225:
I suspect some foul play cos it's rare for a r1 university to give PhD admission without funding

It is well. I mailed my program coordinator last week to ask about the funding and she said they are yet to start reviewing the applications.

horlahsunbo225:
No ma'am
I mail my prof today and he's not replying fast unlike before, I'm suspecting foul play

Same here. I mailed my advisor since Monday and he has not replied.

Have you heard anything from TTU about funding? @horlasumbo225

horlahsunbo225:
Waiting for admission at Iowa state university, or funding from TTU else going with Montana

Ok

horlahsunbo225:
My friend's own is now more than 5 working days and yet to receive it

Are you going to use Montana University or you are waiting for TTU?

Martinogie9:
Please who has applied for I-20 at Texas Tech University? How long did it take them to process it?

Did they give you funding?

Jukwasi:
Okay. Thanks for your reply. I don't know how to reach you. I have some questions to ask you pertaining the application process. Here is my email. rosemaryekechukwu7@gmail.com. You can say hi and I will respond. Thanks.

Done. Check your email.

Ok, I've done that. Check your mail.

Jukwasi:
Hello! Please check your mail. I am almost done applying to this school and the same course. I need more info. Thanks.

I am just seeing this now. I dont have access to the email I used in opening this account.

SoroSoke:
Please which department?

I'm going for a construction - related course

Educational Psychology

PotentialNurse:
I got it in February, it came with my admission.

Ok. Congrats

horlahsunbo225:
Don't worry dear....Funding will come soon
I also got admission to PhD computer science (no funding yet)
Is your degree Msc or PhD

Ok. PhD bro

horlahsunbo225:
They got it with their admission
Which department is yours

Ok. Educational Psychology

horlahsunbo225:
Some of my friends have received but I haven't received

Did they get it together with the admission offer or they got it separately. My department is really taking long to make their own decision. The wait is something else.

PotentialNurse:
I have

Woow congrats... which course and when did you get the offer?

Please house, is there anyone here that has received an assistantship offer from Texas Tech University?

[quote author=tumiabbey post=99795839]Most schools accept installments. What school and course are you looking at?

Manchester Metropolitan University and University of Sheffield. The course I wish to apply is Occupational Health and Safety or Environmental Engineering.

Irenenwaka:
Obodo the student thread will be the best place for your sort of enquiries. You might even find students in the same university you researching about.

Thanks. I have done that. I actually made a mistake sending it here the first time. I thought it was the UK student visa thread.

Please house, do schools write mode of payment on their website like paying on installment? I have google some cheaps schools that offer my course but what I am yet to know is if they accept installmental payment. Abeg someone should help me with this.

Ashirioluwa:
Google search

Thanks. How do I know if a school accepts installmental payment? I was able to get Manchester Metropolitan University but I dont know if they accept payment in installment. I have checked their site but cant find any about that.

Good evening house, please can anyone give me list of cheap schools in UK that allows school fees to be paid on installment. Most preferably schools that offer Environmental Engineering or Occupational Health and Safety.

Mikeval001:
No,don't address it to any school. You should just let it be 'TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN'. By so doing you can use it for as many school as your want,some schools in Nigeria don't even address it to a particular school,they rather make the ending 'To whom' like my school (Unilag)

Ok, Thanks a lot. I appreciate

Good evening house, please I want to know if it is a must to address your English proficiency and recommendation letter to the school you are applying to or you can just use "to whom it may concern" so that you can use it to apply to many schools without having to bother your recommenders for another letter.
