Tomorrow. Ethopian airline. What about you?

Hello! Which airline are you moving with, and when are you leaving? I'm also landing in New Jersey but final destination is Oregon.

akins2016:

Bros, my flight's destination is Newark NJ and I will be looking for place to stay or hotel till the next day b4 connecting to my flight going to Detroit. My final destination is Ohio. Pls bro help oooo

Thanks amicus!! I would check with them, although my plan was to go use my health insurance to cover the vaccines I couldn't get here.

Ekofisk:


You should contact your school to ask if your health insurance will cover the cost of getting the vaccination at the school health centre. You can save the money if they'll allow that. This submission is based on my personal experience.

Thanks so much! Would check them out at LUTH

AshBammy:

Meningitis was 6500 single dose.
The we're taken in stages, monthly.
Both the hbv and mmr were about 14k.
Started taking it last year as I was told it's not s single dose.
They signed my school form for 1k.

Please how much did you spend on each dose of vaccines at LUTH? Thanks.

AshBammy:

@ observant my school requested for something similar, I did my yellow fever immunization at Port health close to MMIA, turning by the right.
They gave a yellow card that was signed.
Can't really remember the amount but it wasn't up to 2k,go early cos they write names and call according to number.
I did the rest of my immunizations at Luth.
Meningitis, MMR and Hbv.

Congrats man! Wish you the best in your pursuits

I just wanna thank God for his Grace. I would like to endeavour everyone who is applying for their visa to pray that God gives them grace of favour. "Grace: he gives people Grace even if you aren't worth it, -He Is God of Grace- ". I had my interview on the 28th July. 12:45. I was issued. it was really stressful and I taught all hope was lost but because God still answers prayers "prayed and fasted for a week, didn’t sleep at home, just told them i was going to church" guess it was worth it. I wanna thank Walspring so much, he is a brother to me, a helper, he is like a backbone to me, and every time I got stuck all I needed was to call him. Thanks so much. Thank you.

Congrats Jide!!! This is just the beginning of pleasant experiences for y'all!

jide039:
good morning great house. VISA APPROVED. 6:30AM transcript loading.....

sureb0y:
I promised myself not to post anything here until the day of my interview.
Visa Approved. Lagos consulate. 6:30am appointment. I'm still too excited to do any other thing. Can't remember the transcript, it's gonna take a while to remember, then I'll tell y'all. It was a very short one though. it took about 70 seconds in total. Please be patient, I'll share it when I don calm down and remember.

Thank you, Oludare!

Although I've been a silent reader here for some months, I believe now is the time to share with y'all my testimonies

I applied all by myself to Oregon State University mainly because the program I chose does not require me to write GRE (although I was still considering applying to two more when I received my admission letter from the dpt I applied to and never bothered...). Then, I started processing my I20 and by mid April, I was ready to appear at the US Consulate. I was scared at first cos of the 120 days rule but summoned courage and showed up during the last week of the month because I still had loads of preparation to complete (vaccines to take, flights to book, e.t.c).

After trekking endlessly on that fateful Tuesday for the 11 am appointment, as I lost my way earlier, I arrived in time to be checked in with other applicants. Upon entering, I was directed to to the biometrics section; thinking the interview had begun already, I started fidgeting until the black man in the glass tried to calm me down and instructed me to gently located the hole and pass my documents. With that done, I proceeded to the line where I started hearing all sorts of replies from applicants that got them the blue paper from Vos Well, it got to my turn and I landed right in front of one of the Vos that doled out more blue papers. She was fast about it:

Vo: Good morning (smiling) Can I have your passport please?

Me: (Passed my passport) Good morning.

Vo then scans it, asked me to pass other documents (I20 and sevis receipt) and told me to place my fingers on the scanner. After that...

Vo: How did you hear about this school?

Me: (Now relaxed, looking into her eyes, confidence back in place , replied) Actually, the director of the NGO I volunteer with recommended Oregon State and Texas Women University. **(I learnt this vital part from NL and I quickly brought it in at this point so as to save the vo from asking me how many schools I applied to, and it worked sha )

Vo: What is the name of this NGO again? (She must have asked because I didn't include it in my application)

Me: (Mentions the name sharply)

Vo: (after typing for few seconds, looks at I20 again, and asked) Why this course, Women Studies?

Me: You see, this course has been area of interest to me all my life; I am passionate about it, I've volunteered for an Ngo about it, and I want to build a career in this area. (I replied smiling)

Vo: (smiling and nodding her head, she types for seconds and asks the unexpected) What is your research area of interest?

Me: (at this point, the kindda look she gave me was one like she was expecting me to fumble! but I no slack oo! I quickly picked one of my favorites subject in the curriculum and said) I would be researching on the systems of oppression in women's lives, especially those affecting women in Nigeria thereby rendering us useless.

Vo: (quite convinced, while nodding and smiling again, she then types for a longer time and asked like she almost forgot...) when did you graduate Uni and What did you studied?

Me: 2014, History

Vo: (she then started telling me how from nowhere, what I studied fits what I'm going for .... ) Who is sponsoring you and what do they do?

Me: My mum, she is a businesswoman.

Vo: Typing for the last time and telling me how willing she is to approve my visa, She hands over the white sheet to me and immediately left her presence before she changes her mind

*** That settled, I focused on my GTA search and chase (see that school is one of the most expensive state university I've found but my dear self did not check their tuition before entering gbege ooo) in good faith and not relenting even after the graduate advisor told me they have distributed all the GAs they have I still continued all my preparation in hope that I would go look for some jjob or scholarships upon my arrival cos the exchange rate kept devaluing my savings

Alas!!! God had a pleasant surprise for me already After reminding the graduate advisor and one other in the dpt about my bid for GTA and how having me in mind if any opens would go a long way, I finally received a full GTA offer last month, after praying and fasting fervently for two months!

I count myself indeed lucky: applied to one school, got admitted, got my visa, got a full assistantship (Tuition waiver with stipends), and would be attending a very good school in USA, all with ease! It is only God's doing and leading and most importantly, putting one's all in the preparation. Also, be FOCUSED (learn to have a mind of your own) and stay POSITIVE! I never allowed anyone to talk my plans down; from going to the embassy early, not minding the 120 days rule which has aided my purchase of a very cheap flight before the dollar hike, to remaining strong knowing one thing must work out...

This is my story, and I hope you learn one or two things from reading

onyembu2013:
I got to the embassy around 6 ;15am, after the security checks and thumb print.I messed up when I was called for the thumb print, when the white woman said your the four fingers of your left hand, can you guys imagine that I wanted to place my right hand, then the woman shouted I said the right hand. In my mind I was thinking the interview have started o. I was shivering. But the woman gave me back passport and 1-20, she said I will be needing for interview, so my nerves came down. We have to wait for the VO for over 10 minutes before they arrived.

Congrats bro!!! I'm delighted to have finally found a Nigerian heading to Oregon State! Kindly reply the pm I dropped in your e-mail; we could talk better as I'm also resuming this fall.

EbolaParasite:


Several. Some people buy their transit tickets when they land in the USA. There's nothing that says you must have a flight straight to school. Some people even choose to use Greyhound bus. All the POE officer cares about is that you are going to school. How you get to your final destination is not their problem

I really do appreciate your contribution!!! I'll be confident about it and also hope to meet with a cool headed officer. Thanks!

Hello house! sad

Actually, I just got admitted to study at the masters level in Oregon come fall; I have also gotten my visa. My plan is to jet out by August 17, first, to visit New Jersey (I've booked my ticket to Newark already), spend few days with my uncle and then book a flight and report to school.

The issue now is the Port of Entry palava, as I'm scared the officers might be concerned about me not having a ticket to Oregon... Although my port of entry would be Boston, cos that's where Emirates would drop me before connecting with a local flight to NJ; I want to know the house views on this risky waka of mine and also learn from others experiences.

Is it also true they'll know I'm going to NJ without asking me?

Please help ! Thanks.....

EbolaParasite:


No issues. As long as you report to school by the school deadline, you can go anywhere first. No one will prevent you from seeing family before going to school.

Thanks! But have you had anyone do that before? I wouldn't mind knowing their POE questions and experiences.
