texrem:
You should prepare for questions like why did you change your school?
why did you change the course?
Is EIU better than TAMUK on ranking?

EIU doesn't even offer the course I opted for in TAMUK.
On ranking TAMUK is better in EIU in respect of my specialty....
College choice.net rank TAMUK has 17th nationally in the best college for MS in Electrical Engineeeing.
US news and world report rank the engineering programmes in top 50.
Also Forbes magazine list of best American colleges rank TAMUK in the top 20%.
I changed course because the current cuts across different domains and as a result I can solve more problems in my profession.
The current focused on Engineering,science and it is also technology management based...

Ok,help critique those point..

I was delayed at the Lagos Consulate last year and I hope to go back soon for interview.Intially, I went with EIU and my course was sustainable energy now I hope to go with TAMUK which is Electrical Engineering...
I envisage this question:what has changed about your application.
Here is the response I came up with:
My current application is across various domains as it combines not just science and technology management but emhasized engineering which address more of my professional problems.
This application is more broad,opens me to different challenges as compared to the a more specific and narrower previous..

Please help critique

Please assist to look at this proposed transcript

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning sir

Vo: Pass me your passport and I-20 please
Me: Please have it

Vo:So describe your program for me?
Me: I am going for my masters in food science and my major is animal science. My research will focus on poultry particularly on the effect of ghrelin in feed consumption and pulmonary hypertension as it affects Nigerian poultry and chicken consumption.

VO: what do you intend to do after your study?
Me: I plan to come back to Nigeria and work with regulatory agencies like, Federal Ministry of Health, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). NAFDAC is currently embarking on a project to reduce the rejection of exported poultry products as well as to reduce the challenges of food borne illnesses facing the country. SO, a master’s degree in food science WITH ANIMAL SCIENCE MAJOR will give me the required skills and knowledge needed to tackle these issues. A lot of universities need researchers in Animal Science most especially poultry physiology. My Alma Mata needs a poultry physiologist and Professor XXXXX has informed the departmental board that I will be joining them after my study in the states so that we will have at least 2 poultry physiologist in the department and He will be able to rest as he is getting old.

Vo: How do you want to pay for the cost?
Res: My Dad who's the CEO of XXXGlobal Concept. They are into importation ,trading and distribution of LG brand both home appliances and electronics. I have his statement here with me .. Here it is...Please have it. Dr xxxxx has also said I will be interviewed for graduate assistantship position but he said that will be available as soon as I get to the school

VO:What are you doing now?
Me: I am a banker because that is the opportunity I got after school but because of my interest in research and academics, I volunteer working weekends and my holidays with Professor Bleep of Department of animal science, Bleep University. I have three projects under him, Two published and the last one in process. They are 1.Bleep 2.xxxx 3.xxxx

VO:How do you hear about the school?
I first knew about this school through a publication on turkey in the journal of poultry science .I also made use of professional sites such as Institute Graduate centre for animal science , international livestock research institute, to come up with list of schools offering masters in animal and food science, then I came up with 3 schools I applied to.


VO: Why do you choose this University?
Me: I chose this University because they offered broad courses in food and animal sciences .Their program incorporate field work with basic course. They combine animal science and food safety as specialization which is my area of interest. Also, they have this ongoing project I checked into which is the effect of passive immunization against ghrelin on feed and water intake in poultry to improve poultry production in sub-saharan Africa”. This project has the potential to tackle challenges of ghrelin in poultry which is one of the issues which have been identified as a problem in Nigeria.

Vo: Your visa is approved, you will need your i20 at the point of entry.....
Me:Happy mood..

What you intend to do after your study is not clear.You talk about NAFDAC and that you will like to work at u your Alma-mata...
Is the Bleep university you volunteered for on pub hols and weekend your Alma-mata?If yes then it better to talk about the open position in your Alma-mata first.
Then,use the idea of NAFDAC has a long-term plan.

ToluwalekeA:
Hello.

Pls how many months bank statement can i present during interview. Also, is the money meant to be in the acc for a a month before printing the statement.Pls advice

You can present an SOA that's is no more than 6months to your interview.However,it is more preferable to use an SOA that's just a week or few days to your interview.Also,the money should not be in the account like a huge lump dump into the acct for a month .There should be in flow and out flow.The balance on the date of print of the SOA should cover tuition for a year.

oluezekiel:
Definitely it is Mississippi State University, it is R1 while Texas A&M Kingsville is R2. But based on location, Kingsville might be better for Coop/internship. Also, your course will play a role. Just know what you want, prepare and go for it.

Thanks for the information over-load.

Time2win:
What happened to Google?

Sure you right.I am looking for other opinions.
Some info can be more trendy and I can get contributions from peeps studying there on this thread,you never know.It is good to be open to options...

Good evening peeps,

Olayinkaji:

Thanks my guy.I appreciate.

Good day peeps,

Please who has an idea of the cost of ordering i-20 from Texas to Naija?

Time2win:
Yes. You don't need to if the one you paid is not up to 365 days.

Thanks

Time2win:
Just use your new sevis ID for all the forms you are filling

I just PM you.Please respond.Thanks

Time2win:
Just use your new sevis ID for all the forms you are filling

In that case I dn't need to pay a new SEVIS fee,right?

Time2win:
Make your question clearer.

From what I understood, you need a new ds 160 in other to book a new appointment but you can use your old ds 160 to retrieve your previous details then edit whatever thing you want to edit.

Ok,you mean if I have a different SEVIS no and I want to create a new DS-160 to book appointment I will just have to transfer the SEVIS ID?

Good day peeps,
Please I wanna ask a question?
I know universities in the US have unique SEVIS ID.
Is it possible that I can transfer SEVIS ID in Nigeria?
Because I have a valid SEVIS fee for EIU and I want to request for TAMUK i-20 and I want to transfer the SEVIS ID to TAMUK.
