Schools have a way of extending your stay for genuine reason, coming back home was an error. .

I'm so down right now...House please forgive my typo error

Dear All,

Please i need sincere clarification and response

Two years (2017) ago my wife travel to the STATE with an F1 visa, but when she got there she realized she was 2 month pregnant tho she was menstruating and all. Anyway she got registered in the school and became the best in her department even with the pregnancy and all school fees payment was duly paid.

In between she registered for Insurance and medicare as a student through the school to deliver our baby,doing this period she has to chill out a semester so as to have the baby as such she has a semester left but her VISA will expired next week.

Anyway i advise her to come back to Nigeria so as to renew her VISA then go back to finish the last semester and make the family proud. She schedule her interview and eventually got the white paper after enough drilling and all but the VO requested for the medical invoice which she replied she's not with the invoice. She was then told to mail it over to there office at ISOLO.

Since there was no payment made as the insurance covered for the payment we sent a mail to the hospital from Nigeria and they provided the medical invoice but stated it was all covered by ALAMEDA medical and we submitted same at DHL, to my surprise today when i went to DHL for the passport i saw a blue paper. sincerely i almost POO on my body, i read through and realised she has been denied. Sincerely i need advise as am blank right now. I advise her to come over to renew her VISA in Nigeria while she insist i should allow her finish her MSC programme before. Sincerely i'm so sad and sick right now.

Please house what can be done, we got another detailed invoice from the hospital today with the amount the insurance company paid for the medicare. I dont know if another VISA fee should be paid and she should go for another interview or is there a way we can go pay the medical fee and then reschedule another interview as i just want her to finish her MSC and come back home. Please note we paid all school fees totaling over 35000$

I'm so sad and down right now...I just need advise please house

Am going for PhD chemical physics at ohio state university with full funding..work in a construction company but want to return to lecturing…….please help me scrutinise my transcript on these areas….Thanks Gurus

Vo: why are you not pursuing your phd degree in nigeria?
Me: after my masters degree I wanted to study in a country that would make me internationally recognised when I return to Nigeria to lecture and research.
Vo: why did you choose osu?
Me: osu houses the advanced materials liquid crystal institute which research focus on liquid crystals. Secondly, I was offered scholarship which include full tuition waiver, 70% health insurance and stipends for living expenses. Also , their research work is in line with my masters research work “measurement of solar intensity and wind speed”. In addition, osu phd program is interdisciplinary that involves a collective research work with people that have physics, chemistry, biology and engineering background.
Vo: what are your research interest?
Me: I will be working on properties of soft matter with specific emphasis on liquid crystals. We will be looking at how liquid crystal material will provide an optical response to an electrical input(displays), turn an optical input into electricity(photovoltaics) and provide an electrical or optical to both chemical and biological agents(sensors). Liquid crystals are a large class of materials that are capable of altering their optical properties when an electric field is applied.
Vo: why did you choose this course?
Me: I choose this course because chemical physics provides a diverse research areas in liquid crystal and its applications. For example, liquid crystal organic photovoltaic materials will improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion(i.e a source of alternative power supply for Nigeria). Also have research application in the production of cell phones, music player, LCD screen and computer screen.
Vo: what will you do after your studies?
Me: I will pick up a lecturing job in my alma mater. At present there is no research work on liquid crystals and this will help me bring about a new research area in the department. The present HOD who happens to be one of my referee advice I start applying to the university through dept six months to the end of my program. And over time I will be able to set up my research team to carry out research work for industries as a research consultant.
Vo: what will this degree do for you?
Me: I will be able to pick up a lecturing job in my alma mater. And I will be able to apply acquired knowledge to the discovery of new liquid crystal effects, new liquid crystal material and development of liquid crystal based devices and applications. Also, gain experience in presenting scientific data in research publications, articles, posters, and oral presentations.
Vo: why study in the US?
Me: a degree in the US is well recognised all over the world because of their academic standard and advancement in technology.
Vo: I will be approving your visa……..
Me: Thanks very much……

The school gives extended date in case there is issue that warrants you extending your program ie sickness.. It's easy for them to reduce your stay than to extend it. [sup][/sup][sub][/sub]
