what are my chances in front of the consular officer

Biotechnology is the earn thing in the science of Agriculture .The Federal Government is in high demand of graduates with the cert.Most Agricultural Institutes in Nigeria are been upgraded to Biotechnological Centers to meet up with MDGs and also Vision 20-20-20

[quote][/quote]U have already answered the question yourself.
Your chances is in the bolded part.Just tell them the above confidently and u should be good.They all know that major change do happens and tell them the truth and nothing but the truth as u illustrated here.Honestly speaking if u can repeat what u wrote above at your interview u gonna get your Visa cos they like to see people relating their Major to the MDG and Vision 2090 sorry 2020
Your age is nothing to them so far u have something to show that u wasn't idle since u left Secondary school.Just present your Food Science degree to cover that part.Your job experience is even a plus.
Guy no lele. Nothing dey pa,Anything wey pa na witch.
Go get your Visa

justwise:
How did you get admission in that college without checking out those info? I don't take you seriously, you are upto something.

I wonder too.
Niggas are just thinking like lizards nowadays.Honestly poster on a G u messed up.
So u are at the stage of getting your Visa while u dont know basic info about your school.
It's like someone who didn't attend middle school and now trying to write JAMB.

Damn i cant even count the number of people who has gotten their Visa.Its really a shower of visa in da house.
Congrats to u guys who got the Visa and best of Luck to people who are waiting for their interview
But u guys should bring money when u coming so u won't turn to a roadside beggar here
There is nothing free here ooooooooo
Who no come no go know say Yankee aint bread and butter.

Guy u made my day.I cant stop laughing on the bolded part.U are such a clown
U really have talents in comedy.
Do i even need a Visa to visit UK right now?I guess noooooooo.
UK sucks so what am i gonna do there?
I prefer any other Europen country to that small highly populated Victoria Island Phase 2

NIGER BOY:

I understand your frustration.I believe not all fingers are equal so i will try to pardon your grammatical blunder cos i won't want u to lose sleep just because u are an illiterate.
Soldier on Bro, i know one day u gonna make 9ja proud

BAC:
I just got a phone call from Naija. No light for almost a week now, If you are afraid of the dark don't stay there. Even them Goodluck cannot help.

And u are complaining?What do u want people who haven't had electricity for years to do?
Nigeria is just a funny Nation.Vision 2090 or what do they call it is a mirage.

johnkent:
Haha. Am a registered nurse around the San Francisco bay area and i make $70/hr. If i worked a 12 hrs shift, I make $840 before taxes.

Need i say more? This is a testimony to the brain drain syndrome that has become an epidemic in this Country called Nigeria

wems002:

stephenponti:
I ve been dating a girl for 8 years and I want to break up the relationship for the following reasons
1. She is older than me wt a year & 8 months
2. We re same genotype
3. She is very jealous & can't stand seeing me wt another lady, most time screening my phone SMS.
4. My parents disapprove the marriage because my uncle married 4rom their family her elder sister(but said they re good family)
5. My elder sis also disapproved 4 same above reason.
6. Am part-time undergraduate, the financial obligation might affect my biz.
7. She's 30 now & am 29
Please I need an advice on how to handle this issue as the above points might be really difficult to proceed wt the relationship. We both are 4rom same village and I ve spent much on her & loves her very much. if I broke up wt her she ll hate me as much as she loved me. Pls I wouldn't want to be cajoled in this post am expectantly waiting 4 mature
advice on how to deal wt this problem urgently. Thanks in advance pls .

A child of 8 years old is already preparing to go to Secondary school in a saner society.
Honestly were u guys blind when u met?Cos all the stupid excuses u provided above were already there before u met each other.Why complain now when u have already went this far.8 years out of your life is something.
If u break that relationship after 8 years ur life will never remain the same again.
An dwhy do u think 2 fuccks about your Aunty and Uncle for crying out loud?
Africans with their myth and traditions.
For u to go this far that means u guys love each other which is the only thing u need not uncles and aunties.
Please keep ur a$$ with that girl till death comes.

Lame a$$ niggas.In this jet age u guys can't get a job or do something to enrich your life.
Honestly on a G u guys suck.
Dumb poster with a wack thread

Valid US Passport, No money for return ticket to the US, So hopeless, Any Ideas

Thanks

Contact the American Embassy and explain your problem to them.There should be a way to help if it's an emergency.A friend of mine once got stranded in France and had to call the American Embassy there and they immediately put in on the next available Delta Airline flight back home.
Let them know your plight they will surely know what to do

NIGER BOY:
most of you tell lies and decieve your fellow niaraland why cant u be really for once even in western europe or in the U.S u hardly see who earn 450ud dollar per not talk of mr yahoo yahoo spain has the most unemployment in the whole of europe and wages of workers is 800 to 1200 euros per month where do work that u earn 450 us dollars per day and has for u mister old man most of u come to make gist of other i speak french am from niger am glad am proud of myself what about GRACIAS OR OBRIGADO WHAT WILL U SAY NOW U GO TO THE MOON FOR ALL I CARE

How did this road side Mechanic got access to the Internet?
We need quality assurance on Nairaland to avoid miscreants like this from embarassing our sensibilities

Man once step at a time.There is no Manager that will give out accomodation to a faceless individual.
U have to be physically present to sign the paper work.Moreover u will need a credit before u can rent an apartment so here lies your problem.Since u are new here, hardly can u find apartments without having credit.Your best bet is to look for 9jerians around that can help with credit so u can use their name to get an apartment.After credit u still need a security deposit before u can move in which is a month rent of the house.For example if the monthly payment is $500 then u need $1000 before u can move in.It's gonna be hard if u don't know anybody here but if u are bringing in money then u should be fine cos money talks bull$hit walks.
Dont take the risk of coming here without money or any relatives.
There is more to it than meets the eye.
Who no come no go know how far.
Just my 1 cent lol

VAbound:
@johnjay,
are you sayin if i get the licence from the state i plan to reside, i cant drive interstate? OR?
Pls all in the states, enlighten me
Thanks

If u have a state driver's license u can drive in the whole US and sometimes in Canada.But if u want to change your former state license to the new state just go to their DMV and pay for change of License.In this case u dont have to take the driving test all over again.
Any license issued in any state here is valid throughout the US and in Canada.
Contact your local DMV for case by case information
Cheers

[quote author=naija_diva link=topic=475884.msg6353598#msg6353598 date=1278622231]im not sure abt international drivers license, they may and may not let u use it or u might have to get a US license.

as for car insurance, its mandatory. there are different companies that u can call up and get a approx rate and from there choose the insurance plan that best suits your need and that is affordable.[/quote]About Driving, every state has different laws about driving.Like here in California u can drive for 3 months with International Driver's license written in English then u can also apply for a California State license if u are legal immigrant.Though most state doesn't recognise International driving license from Nigeria cos they know that even a blind man can get a Drivers License in Nigeria so is better u stay off driving till u get your State Driver's license.
On insurance u dont need to pay much.Just approach a family or friend to add your car on their insurance so by the end of the month u gonna be paying them like $50 which is better off since u are a new driver here.
But if u find the Full coverage insurance advisable then u can approach insurance companies for quotes.
Full coverage is advisable if u own a very expensive car.But if your car is just an average car thenit makes economical sense

if plat hear for your mouth u wan kill me be dat. another kokolet dey texas now oo

ahonohai:
Dude go hug a friggin transformer.

If you want to talk about societal issues, you will be best suited for the politics section. This is the travel section.

Thank you

Mr i believe with this your level of so called exposure u should know there is no transformer where i live.

Attention disorder.
Must every Nigerian know u going for vacation?Why can't Niggas keep to themselves for crying out loud?
After all the nonsense pictures is boarding pass we seeing now,whether we gonna see Visa and Plane restroom pics later is only God that knows.
Are u the only person to have tour the whole world?
Am sick to see guys having this show off attitude.

In a country where majority lives under $1 per day the few ones that got to see a Plane will feel on top of the world.
Lawd a Mercy.

@Charlie

You see?


Ok.
Anyways, it is rather late for you to meet the August Resumption if you dont have your I-20 by now.
Mail UT and tell them you are deferring your admission till Spring i.e. Jan.
There will be more than enough time to do all the necessary before then.

As per US or Canada, take solace in this. . .MOST people's final academic destination is the US.
and BTW, methinks and knows getting the US visa is easier than Canadian
Ok, I stand to be corrected. . . though I doubt I will be corrected
G'luck!

I guess as much too.
Canadian visa is just like rocket science

lovelynk:
Hello all,
my parents,51 and 56 years old just won the 2011 visa lottery to the US,Alone.They did not include any of us their 7 kids.
actaully my big sister ,i and kid brother are over 21 so we arent eligible,but my 4 younger sibblings are teenagers and eligible
Now both parents are not educated,my mum only finished secondary school while my dad did not finish.I very much doubt their capacity to go bak to school in the states.
again,our family has faced some financial hard ship in the past years wt business going downhill,but recently things just started looking up a lil bit for us.
Now considering all these,their age,education ,business and in particular the fact they might neva go bak to school,is it advisable they make the move?

Considering their age and their level of education then it will amount to suicide if they decide to come here to come and hustle.Had it been they are educated now they can come here and work as a professional.But since they aint educated then they will be coming here to do menial jobs which is not good for them at this their age.
But since u said things have started looking up financially for them they can come here with money and establish something like a Group Home or a Day Care which old Nigerian normally do here.With that they can be making money and make a way for u kids to come over.
Since they won the Green Card it will be advisable for them to leave the stress associated with Nigeria and come here for a better life only if they can bring cash to come and put something here.Since age is not on their side anymore they need the best out of life so let them come.Theywill have access to God health care which they neeed at this age.
Just my 2 cents though

@Omo Alata:

This was what i experienced while i was coming back to Nigeria from india via Doha. i had 2 hrs delay in India, so on getting to qatar for transit, it was announced that the plane has left. so we met the ground crew of qatar, they said nigerians this way, other the other way. they collected our passport.Then, told others to go and join the bus to hotel and said to nigerian, that we are not allowed into their country.my head wan explode that day.

Pls there is no link, i am the link.
if u doubt it, try qatar and make sure u have miss your connecting flight in doha , also with nigeria passport, then come and tell us your story.

End of story.
Since u missed your connecting flight then u must have a transit Visa to enter Qatar as a Nigerian Passport Holder.This regulations has nothing to do with the airline but the Country immigration laws which require a Nigerian to have a visa to enter their country.
The blame should be on the Nigerian leaders who has made the nigerian passport worthless through their actions.
By the way Qatar Airways is one of the best if not the best Asian Airline.Had a 8 hour stop over in Doha on my way to New York in January and it was smooth.I had a very nice flight with them so this your story is somehow new to me cos they are one of the reputed airline

@ oyewolejo's

thanks for the great job you have been doing here, you have really helped dudes man.

i intend applying to CSU for my msc, i have been to the college of business and economics webpage of the CSU and located the dept of finance, real estate and insurance which i am interested in. however, they dont seem to have a masters program, my question is, [b]1. would i need to do gmat to apply as i transfer student, 2. do you knw if they have a masters degree program for that course in that dept.
finally, i owuld appreciate if you could give me an email addy i can liase with, [/b]thank you.

California State Universities have about 24 campuses which is located in almost everywhere in Cali.I attend the California State Univerty at Northridge so if my school didn't have those courses which i doubt then u can check out other campuses.I think u should go and do your GMAT though most they might waive it for u but trust me u still gonna do some courses to remedy the GMAT which u will pay alot of money for.Its advisable u have ur GMAT.Application for Spring 2011 will start in August so u can still have time to do the GMAT.
For posterity sake i won't be able to exchange my email with u, for the benefit of others just ask your questions here and i will respond accordingly so others can gain from it since its an open forum lets throw it open.

OjaP:
I have just secured admission into[b] California state University at B akersfield [/b] for masters in Geology,i have my admision letter and I-20 already,I want to know if i can still have august dates for interview if i book an appointment tomorrow?Do you know the banks where i can pay and what is the amount?I will be paying for my SEVIS also on friday,can i get the receipt before the interview.I have a WES evaluation of my Transcript,will the embassy accept that.In my I-20,it reads i hve a sum of 155k dollars available to me being the amount in my dad,s statement of accont with which i sent to the school.But now,the total amount in the account is 8million and that is what i am planning to take to the embassy for interview.I hope the consular wont frown at the new amount in the statement of account?What other advices do u have as i am afraid.Please,tell me all i neeed to do before interview.God help us all.

Thank God someone is coming to join me in Cali.By the way CSUB is a good school and if u drive then u will be in L.A every weekend.Alot of black people in that school and is veryyyyyy big.Since school is resuming August u can pay all your Visa fees and send a mail to the embassy they will give u a date ASAP.Since u are less than 120 days to school resumption then go get Emergency appointment.In the mail to the Embassy let them know when u are due to be in Sch.SEVIS fee dont take that long u will get the receipt within 3 days.
If u have any questions lemme know.

U are welcome to the Capital of the West Side,California the Golden State

If e too pain u, make u self travel na! No 4get to post some pix too o[/size]

I laugh in California
Since when did travelling become an Achievement? The Nigerian mentality of the few who are hardly above the Poverty line and start saying they owns the world.

I still stand on my point that u MIGHT be a bogus travel agent.Going to Egypt aint gonna move me.U can even visit Mars for all i care but i still doubt your intention here simple.
All those Is it your Money crooner that u are addicted to can't erase that doubt.
Who is even arguing with u that is not your money?
Nigerians with their i have arrived mentality.Shiorrrrrrrrrrrrr

ahonohai:
Stop hating! This is the travel section. . . .I reccomend you listen to the new mixtape from eLDee, [b]Is It Your Money?[/b]
