princejeffery: Thanks bro osahons9 I really appreciate ur kindness. .. pls I will like to ask u a few ? If u won't mind? ? But r u on whatsapp or bbm?

I don't mind. Just pm me

princejeffery: i need help on this school. murray state university if black ppl are there like morgan state uni.. one d murray waive toefl for nigeria i email them and they reply to me, but d problem is d tuition is too much

Though in the land of the unknown you need like race people but I have this belief that race doesn't matter. You will almost always see blacks anywhere. South dakota is a redskin state but we have blacks there. So I think you should be looking at schools that will enhance your career than looking for schools that have a large population of blacks.

This is my opinion. You might have urs as well

juntod: My guy My guy

my oga ...i want to be like you oh...yankee things

@bigfrancis21

What does the school do with your gre after they've offered you admission?

Part 6 when my visa for show!!!

Tekecoms1: Please may i know how many weeks or days it took WES to send you their own translation.......

You will send them your transcript, they will verify it with your school and then evaluate it and mail u a copy. This is not suppose to take more than a month all things being equal. But as you know, some universities here in Nigeria are something else. It takes them forever to verify the transcript and this tend to delay the process. Ermmmmm what I am trying to say is mine took 3 months

bigfrancis21: It is funny when you muster all the energy you can muster to supposedly 'school' someone on the law when you obviously know the law but advice somebody to cheat the law. USCIS expressly forbids F1 students from working off-campus, yet you willingly adviced somebody to intentionally take his SSN, which by the way is authorized only for on-campus employment, to go work off-campus. Is this not your post to somebody suggesting to him a way to cheat the US goverment and law, and work off-campus?



Meanwhile, the US law expressly states:



http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment

Don't even try modifying your post later to claim otherwise because I have taken a snapshot of it as evidence of wilful disobedience of the law.

Before you try 'schooling' someone else next time, be sure that you are worth your onions before dabbling into an ostensible myriad of needless hullaballoo.

By the way, I am even sure you were ignorantly unaware and didn't even know that a student who works off-campus with their SSN has fallen out of status? Yet you advised somebody to willingly violate his visa terms and fall out of status.


https://internationalaffairs.uchicago.edu/page/loss-status

Are you even aware that the penalty for working off-campus is outright deportation back to one's home country? I bet you didn't know that. You need a lot of schooling on your ignorance of basic rules and laws of the F1 student visa.

Please next time try not to mislead people on this forum with wrong advice and information. This is the internet and information is archived. Someone might read your post and think it is valid, only to go work off campus, be caught and deported back to his home country.

Having read both sides of the argument, I think Msnas has nothing to prove to you. She has made her points and backed them with good references. You just keep going back and front about the issue. You even gave more evidence when you copied something written on your school website. So I see no reason why you are saying otherwise. The school will do it's job by reporting to sevis about a deferment. Sevis will do what is right therefore you have to leave for your home country.

I would appreciate if this issue is dropped. Thankyou

launrey: Please does any one know the acceptance rates and Embassy take on Lamar University, Beaumont TX, and Texas a & m kinsgville.(shortlisted my applications to these 2 schools) Looking at Chemical Engineering MSC. Opinions would be appreciated. I hop e am not asking too many questions o.
Happy Sunday.

Use usnews dot com to check for the acceptance rates for the listed schools n more. Embassy has nothing to do with the schools. Also check for accreditation of these schools at abet dot org

bigfrancis21: You obtained 2.776 after translation? Please recheck your calculation. Someone I know with 2.38/5.0 CGPA had 2.7/4.0 after conversion. Yours should be above 2.7766.

@Bold...exactly. Only the official copy from WES will be accepted.

I think there is little or no need for these calculations. WES pays more attention to the last 3 years (Upper) in university. that actually determines where u end up. I had 3.15/5 n wes evaluated to 3.03/4. QED

[quote author=efiyefaa][/quote]Ajah to cms. Take brt from cms to obanikoro bus stop. Cross to the other side n take bike to jkk house. Easy

richard4ssky: Please do any one no were I can take gre exam in benin

No computer based test center in benin. Only paper based test and that's like 3 times a year but I don't know the center they use for it.

efiyefaa: Chai!!! but that's where people I know are... so its kinda cheaper for me cos I have their support holidays and breaks I have a place to stay.

Look for a school in neighbouring states that's alot cheaper except you are omo babalowo. You can always visit LA during breaks n holidays.

tolex34: I think I don't need that since My Mum is my sponsor.

You are good to go.

efiyefaa: house ooo please someone give me answers on a sponsor. I will be sponsoring myself with assistance from my family, but our statement can't carry the required 40k USD please what can I do?

Going for my one time interview by weekend

Go n bring that visa home...that's what is left.

Tekecoms1: Pls which is better between the paper based GRE and the computer based GRE? ? By the way in response to someone's words, USA does not put an end to one's sufferings but i will say that the chances of making it in USA is far possibly higher than wasting away in naija and be saying God will do it as if our parents did not pray the same prayer. I ld rather do menial jobs in yankee and get well paid than stay in naija doing a white collar job and paid a rubbish wage where a stupid boss will be claiming lordship over my live...

Bros calm down!!! Once you are able to get a stay, with hardwork, you will make it.

Joenice: yes...very compulsory, if you want to study in America. US and Nigeria does not have the same system of learning. Just like in football 3-5-2 formation is totally different from 4-4-2. you got my drift, right?

Van gaal n yeye Moyes. I get the drift

zeezahbee: dry and summer na same. inshort its so hot where i am noww, in short hotter than naija. its like 95degreeF

Seriously? Are you in texas? because that's the only place that comes to mind that usually experience such heatwave.

Frizzle: Naija I dey hail oooo Amefrica, Walspring, Graviton2, Slimmy and the rest hope u are all enjoying the summer

Nigeria no get that kin season. Na raining season n dry season

pixietop: Good day House,

How long does it take for the F-1 visas to be issued? The VO said thursday(A week from when my visa was approved). My plight is I have a 2 week work trip booked on the 14th, I need to know if I should change my flight to 15th or 16th which would cost me a whole lot, or stick with the flight for 14th night if it's sure I would get my passport on the 14th.... I actually thought it was three business days.

You will get it on the 14th. Usually it's 3 business working days. So I would stick around till 14th n if no news, before I change date. Hope you can reschedule anytime? I think that will save you some money.

siegfried99: Thanks.. I really appreciate.

Please do u have an idea of when the next SAT exam is written? And I'm interested in affordable universities and colleges in Atlanta to be precise, can u kindly suggest any?

Thanks.
