Depends on you and your school..If you have EE background, just continue along that line, except you're no more interested.

slimmy05:
I will advice you continue with electrical engineering. You can change, it depends on your school. Email your school for enquiry

Pls electrical engineering and computer engineering ,which one has better prospects in terms of jobs and salary in de US after graduation
Want to make wise decision

Pls is it possible to change major from electrical engineering to computer engineering ,when one arrives in his/her school.since the I-20 list electrical engineering as my major

It's good that Everest Institute has been shut down.

Other for profit schools will have the same fate one day. So don't waste your time on VIU.

Sch opens on 13 August as stated on my I-20
Can I go to US on 15th july n also will like to be in New York for some days before going to de state of my sch,is it red flag to de immigration officials at de point of entry

NB:my program is 54 months

How do one prepare for this encounter?

Pls my I-20,they listed mandatory health insurance as $3500 per year,is it compulsory to buy from sch or can i get cheap option from third party?

Thanks

slimmy05:
When you get your visa kindly confirm that. Whe. You collect your passport I mean

i will and also thanks for your help on the thread ,i salute you but pls tell Baba imperiouxx to give me some of the beer ooo

slimmy05:
Congrats pcbo, but that visa is 5years I don't understand or you don dey over hear. Do they issue 5years visa to Ghanaians.

The Ghanaians I've met are cunning and they are annoying liars. I am not saying you are one, just the ones I've met. They always want to play smart but they forget so soon we taught them how to be smart.

Lol,true ,most Nigerians i know are smart but typical Ghanaians are mostly PHD(pull him down)

yes that was what she said
yes Ghanaian get 5 yrs if undergrad but for master i think will be 2

Had my appointment at 8;30,got to the embassy around 6:45 ,cos i couldnt sleep and it was the first time i pray in 7 years but was dumbfolded when i started speaking tongues when praying during the dawn.
When i arrived at the embassy,there were many people waiting already,the 7:30 crew was called in ,then after an hour we were called
at the first point,the officer collected all my visa appointment letter,SEVIS ,reciept and checked if all was right ,after i was given a tag with number on ,i then proceed to do my bio-metrics.
We were separated into non-immigrant and immigrant .Only 2 VOs were attending to the non-immigrants and it was a young guy and lady,both white.after seating,the first 20 were all rejected ,then next 10 after only 2 were given by the lady.The white guy will drilled you are after refused you,whiles the lady gave to a bereaved couple only going to their son's funeral.
So i was kinda scared but wanted ,the lady since she was the lesser devil.Was about going to guy ,when an elderly lady jump-started me to the guy.Hence was favored to go to the lady.

VO:Why do u want to go to US
Me:I want to go to US for my undergraduate education in Elect.Eng
VO:why that University
Me:told her that, they have a mandatory Co-op Engineering program and as an experiential learner it will help me,with hands on the job training,which help me back in the Ghana
VO:Which other schs did u apply and accepted?
Me:Rochester Institute of Technology,Penn state and Rice university
Vo: ok,wow
VO:y dis program
ME: i stayed in the rural area ,and noticed that they are not connected to the national grid ,hence their socio-econimic impact is very low as they dont have affordable and suistainable energy to help them improve their storage and presevation of their agric products produced ,but i beleieve that the program will offer me more opportunity to research about off-grid tech ,which when am back will help to power this local communities.
VO:wow,even Prez. Obama mmentioned about off-grid technology as game-changer in his POWER Africa initiative
VO:who will sponsor you
ME:father
VO:ooh i see you have scholarship,but i can see his statement
ME: gave it to her,she glance through
VO:your visa application has been granted,come on friday for it and also your program is 54 months
Me: yh ,cos it is Co-op program
VO:ok,well visa is 5yrs ,she then tear a slip and wrote that i should come and pick passport on friday and gave me a book about my rights in US

NB:notice that students weren't many at this time ,since most will wait till 1or 2 months to sch reopening hence Vo got time and it really helped me
Please imperiouxx ,slimmy and co ,am a Ghanaian but a good one with big heart ready to help others on thread and proud NL netizen
So i hope to get some congrat beer emoticon from the Boss imperiouxx ,pls don't deny me

My I-20 was not collected,is it normal

Please gurus in the house,kindly help me
Please am going to the embassy ,with my SAT online scores printout ,should i write my online college board logins on the paper ?

mbeenox:
will the I-20 determine my source of found, I don't have it yet so don't know abt it?

yes it will be specify

mbeenox:
Question please: if your sponsor is ur dad n the acct is his owned company acct, is this a problem?

Check your I-20 and know source of fund ,if it is company then u can use company acct ,if it is family then i guess you have to find a personal account to go
