Call you for what? Is it that this place is too small for you to ask your questions here?

urecee:
Please, my name is lauretta and i am looking for someone who just registered GRE with B.Y Mafit. Kindly call me on 08100151003. I will appreciate your call it really means a lot to me thanks

AbujaNIV, the yellow paper states the review will take 2 weeks. Yet someone has been waiting for more than 2 weeks. And the response he got was that the visa officer hasnt looked at it.

Resumption is very close. I am surprised he hasnt gotten any feedback/update. His interview was July 21st. Does Abuja take this long? Na wa ooo

Hmmm. ??

Its for someone

AfonjaBoston:
Charleston O boy na real country you dey go SO

Hello pals. Please how do I book flight to Eastern Illinois. I am supposed to break it into 2 abi? From jfk? Bus or flight to Illinois?

When did you get your visa? If it's this year, then its very much current. Please share it. Others can learn a thing or two, you never know...

BigBUMBUM:
is this place only about visa related issues and solutions only? i got my visa long b4 coming here and to be honest i cant remember the scenario sef
i can give back other means and not neccessary sharing of transcript No offence

Why the red font na?

sayilousnwa:
[color=#990000]Noted LagosNIV, Well besides the reason I gave initially, I think I made mention of, they have an attractive course curriculum which best suits my profession. in addendum to that, there are some courses I discovered that are super interesting and I have this enthusiasm to learn them, eg. Management organisation and leadership, Technology and Computer Innovation, which would help me after my studies. From my research, I would have access to their well equipped Electronic Library which is updated every session with affordable electronic textbooks, for some students like me who would rather opt for books than food

Sha buy one

Greetings From California...


If you are coming here, Just have it in mind you would need a Car...

The ghana must go can tear easily na

chinemomah2020:
Who said you can no longer use Ghana-must go Bag? My close friend traveled with Qatar airways this January(Spring 2017) and he used Ghana must go as a second bag to pack all his food stuffs and there was no issues or query. so in line with your question Yes, you can use Ghana must go.. have a safe trip!

He just started agreeing with scholastica16 about the holistic approach. His initial post was on the importance of GRE and that people should not downplay it.

Yildiz:
Guys you are all saying the same thing

The bolded is not correct. This is what I got from the school's site, italicized below.

So they never said get 85% or you are out. At least three out of four criteria, of which we know there are outliers who didn't get as much. Even the 80% stated translates to V158Q160 (318) which many people can get.

There are no specific minimums for the GRE or GPA, however, the successful applicants are those students who are strong in at least 3 out of the 4 areas below:

GPA of 3.7 or above on a 4.0 scale
GRE scores in the 80th-90th percentile in the verbal and quantitative sections
Letters of recommendation
Statement of Purpose (SOP) and Personal Statement (PS)

DreManuel:
We are speaking from our limited experiences that are not hard and fast. But could you clarify what course/ program the person that got into UC Berkeley with 307/309 is doing and if they got full-funding? And what year they got in, and what their GRE score breakdown is, and overall academic profile? That can help people here make informed decision and not run the risk of making hasty generalization.

And before someone understates the importance of GRE, they might dig more into their program/schools of choice. I applied to University of Michigan and on their site for Mech Engr., it was stated that GRE scores of min 85 percentile in Verbal and Quant is required with a CGPA of 3.7/4.0. So anyone who doesn't meet the initial criteria won't likely have a chance talkless of funding. Well, that's for Mech engr @UMich, i can't say for other schools.

In a nutshell, in this age of overwhelming complexity, accelerated change and tremendous competition, I would have no weak link in my profile, such as my GRE score, when I can do something about it. When the push comes to shove, every aspect of admission req is essential and you can't predict which would undermine you in the face of your competition.

Did you apply recently?? This 3rd quarter

Folsy:
Zenith bank. Paying through form A

If you get admitted to Ashland, would you opt for that?

Okesima24:
@Fenix, thank you for your suggestion. Could be true. But 3 of my friends got admission to that same school. 2 of them towards end of last year and one who we work in the same office got his in that same Abuja in April and is now in US.
The other two got theirs in Lagos embassy.
So I really don't know.
But I will consider your suggestion to relax for now and perhaps pick other schools.
Thank you all.

Read many pages back, if possible start from May. You will see all the questions, and note the responses given for the approvals. Check the link below too.

Hello
I so much appreciate all your good efforts on here and I pray that the good lord bless you all. am a new follower, I have an interview coming up soon though I have once appeared before the VO early this year ie April based on invitation package B1/B2 visa but now I intend going for my F1/F2 ie study visa, MBA with concentration on Technology Management to gain employability and improve my career goals, I work with a construction company as an assistant project manage. the truth is I keep getting scared of getting another No for an answer, please can someone advice me and also share with me the possible questions that are likely to be asked. If possible I need a mock interview from a good fellow here please.

I read your transcript again. There was no question about your course choice, so why do you want to change it?
Have a good reason why you want to leave your family behind, why you picked Northeastern and what the course will do for you.
Sha read past transcripts.

kayuscares4u:
Happy weekend my people, after a delay at lagos embassy. I intend to change my course to a course that will align with my latest Education qualification to convince the VO more n build my confident. Pls is it good step to take.

Nice one!

StackNerd:

BigBUMBUM:

His response to "why nursing" needs to be personalised. If Morgan state gave him some funding, he should state that as part of the reason or just find out key things about Morgan state's nursing program.

LagosismyHome:
People get visa with Morgan state ..... if u had plan to go with it . I would say stick with it. Just prepare well for many variable questions and answer well .

Pockets are not the same and people travel for diff purposes, some have their spouse working abroad or have a business meeting or for healthcare... and so must travel
Again, the cost of travelling is peanut to some folks. They go to those countries to relax in a calm environment unlike here, to them the benefit is higher. Some dont pay even for the travel, they are sponsored.

Another example: When the dollar margin was high, people made money just by travelling. I mean money!!! So when they are a bit broke; they plan to travel. Or they dont get to spend a dime from their pocket when they travel. It was at a point I understand, I kept wondering how they could afford multiple trips a year.
Some people have the information the rest dont have. Information is power

Many other reasons sha...

Time2Smile:
Congratulations. Please can someone enligten me, what is all the fuss about B1/B2 visa? One is only going to America to spend his/her hard earned money and then come back to Nigeria, or do people still.....................

I dont have an answer to this. You can mail/call them or check the FAQs in the us visa website, you might find the answer there.

I believe you will get an email from the embassy. Most likely you should pick up on Tuesday

mojohnny:
Hi guys.
Please for someone who did interview and got white paper on Thursday when can they expect their visa to be ready?
Thanks

Work on "why you chose bgsu". Read past transcripts and learn the key points. Please dont use that line again

Are you really going to do research?

After high school, you joined the govt's football club in 2014 where you... Then if you did any work there or taught exercise sessions or did some courses related to sports and science, state them. You said you prepared towards bgsu requirements, you can include them.

Then they might ask why you didn't choose to go for undergrad immediately after high school, have answers to this.

teebriz45:
Was denied visa today for the second time this month at Lagos CG. Please help me review my transcripts.

Vo- Tell me where you are going to in US?

Me- Bowling Green state university in ohio for my bachelor's degree Exercise Science.

Vo- Why bgsu?

Me- they have low students ratio majoring in exercise science. (VO CUTS IN)

The guy should have taken 10 minutes to type his transcript first or he should have chilled with his question till he is free to share his interview. I love your comment

Chinewon88:
The person that will assist you too is just kind of fixing many things presently. Please do bear with them. How about that?
