Does anyone plan to attend Drexel in the spring?

Is there anyone already enrolled at Drexel?

I would love to know the funding opportunities for students in the Faculty of Computing. I got into the MS Information Systems program.

Any form of related info would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Anybody with information on any school that offers full funding LLM

Hello Everyone
I got an information from reliable friend about Diplomatic visa that is run by an agent. I spoke with the agent about the visa they do for various countries like US, UK, Canada and other European countries.
Please I need advice about this kind of visa if it's true or it's just a scam..
The agent requested for 100k to process UK which will be out in 3wks and the visa will last for 6 months.

Hi

Lucky you. Quick response

lokoventurex1:

Try University of Arkansas Little Rock.

I also have OND and HND. Although, I made upper credit from the both diplomas. I applied and was given my desired program.

You'll have to do WES after admission is given.

Thank me later..

@ lokoventurex1 please can i send you a private message because i thought one has to do WES before applying.
I’m confused please

Good evening guys, please I need suggestions on how to tell the VO that I did online this fall. In which question in the interview should I chip it in? You know the VO may not ask me this question cus he or she will not know. Please any suggestion will be appreciated. I was given a scholarship for the online course, have small deficit and yet to pay it. So I would want to know how to tell the VO about the online course. My department adviced that I enroll online in order to meet up with classes and I did. My interview is soon.

You are there to answer the VO question not to chip in..if he doesn't ask then so be it. Las Las your aim is for your Visa to be granted..don't put yourself under more pressure ..que Sera Sera

Okay, thanks.

thank you so much for the payment of SEVIS @beejhay69

If you are fortunate not to meet the Korean guy whose first question is “have you travelled out of Nigeria before” followed by “who is paying your deficit” then you have a higher chance of being asked a question that you can chip that in.

Questions like “Tell me about your study plan”, “why this school” and so on. Also be ready to answer the question “since you have started your program online, why don’t you want to continue it online”

Best wishes.

Hello, house. Is it necessary to book an appointment first on the CGI portal before applying for the surge or how does it works cos I've sent a mail since yesterday and yet to get an approval

You will go with both old and new and show to them on interview day. But point the new one to them for use for your interview. That's the response I got when I enquired the same.

Bidex2016:
Good morning everyone,

Please, can I edit my ds160 after have submitted it for surge date?

Note; have gotten a date but can I go ahead and edit it. And how will I do it after have edit?.

I will appreciate if someone can come to my aid. Have a nice day

If you want to change to Lagos, you will fill another day 160 and use lagodnas its location before you apply to Lagos for surge

hardeyswaggz:


Mine is Abuja too...when I called and asked them if I can request for surge date in Lagos today, the lady said since my initial application is in Abuja, I should not apply to Lagos.

You add a brief email joor. Don't make them feel like English is hard for the applicant

Pio123:
No You don't need to write anything just send all your scanned documents to the mail and make sure it is in Pdf format

As long as that is what you have and you can successfully defend it.

TeeGbee:
Please advice, can I use two sponsors, i.e. my uncles?

If your initial location is in the same location where you want to request for surge, no need to fill another ds 160. Just use it like that

Success2022:

No, it's not necessary!

Many have gotten surge days without having a date booked previously on their cgi portal.

eminence5000:
Hi Guys,
This is my first time of applying for the us embassy interview. As the date im seeing on my dashboard is August 2022. So I decided to pick a date in August 2022 and I later apply for emergency request yesterday and I also apply for the surge dates in Lagos also. This morning I got a response on my dashboard that my emergency appointment in Lagos has been denied. I decided to check my dashboard and I realized that the date I chose as August 2022 has been canceled. And I was trying to check
available dates. And I put in my visa fee receipt number and the response I got was it has been used. I'm so confused. Has anyone experienced this and am I required to pay another visa fee. Kindly help on this. I'm so confused

Check your mail for any email from them. I mean the embassy. Check your spam mails too.

I Hope you know i was recently delayed this week. So i can apply for interview at same Abuja consulate for surge or should i change to lagos?

Kaygirl33:

Please take advantage of the surge now. Buy a new MRV and send your documents to the surge email.

vizin:
I could literally feel your pain from just reading the last line you wrote. Sorry about the denial and I pray your next trial will be an approval story. I'm curious about your profile since you're an undergraduate applicant...are you fresh out of secondary school?

Not Fresh. 2017 Grad.

On ds160 form, if your uncle is paying for your trip, is your uncle considered "Other Person" or "Other Relative"?

Hi sir, i sent you an email.

Got approved back in September, but haven't posted my transcript here.

Transcript for June 16th Lagos Embassy(Denied):

ME: Good morning.
VO: Good morning, pass me your documents. (Passed him my documents)
VO: Why are you going to the US?
ME: I am going for my bachelor's degree in Computer science at DePaul university
VO: Why DePaul university?
ME: Depaul university offers a concentration in software development which I am interested in, and they have a great course curriculum
VO: Who will be paying for this huge chunk of money(Can’t really remember how he used that word)
ME: My Uncle
VO: what does he do?
ME: He is a pharmacist in the US
VO: Where in the US?
ME: Washington
VO: Okay, so what are the courses offered at DePaul that made you so interested
ME: (I wasn’t ready for this question, I gave a wrong answer and stammered a bit. I started pouring out the study plan answer I have crammed) I am required to complete 192 credit hour course ………….
Vo: You are ineligible for this visa at this time, you may reapply at any time

When I got outside of the embassy, I started to evaluate the interview to understand what went wrong. That’s when I thought about what he said about MY COA. I was like why will he call 36k per year a huge chunk of money. And that’s when I realized I should have told him I have a scholarship, cause my total COA without scholarship is 59k.

I got home paid another visa fee, I filled my DS_160 thrice, cause I was trying to find the best way to express myself in the “Have you been denied a Visa, Explain” question. The first was one I filled and submitted was bad, I blamed the VO in that one and the tone was rude, I was still angry that time lol. The second time I edited the explanation to sound and look better, but the third time I think I was able to find the right words to explain better. It was along the lines of “I was denied under section 214B ….", after all those official stuff, I began. “I THINK MY APPLICATION WAS DENIED FOR - 1. NOT HAVING TIES TO MY COUNTRY, BUT I DO HAVE ALL OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS IN MY COUNTRY(PARENTS AND THREE SIBLINGS) 2. THE CONSULAR OFFICER THOUGHT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE COST OF ATTENDANCE. I THINK HE WAS MISTAKEN, THINKING I WILL HAVE TO PAY 59K PER YEAR WHEREAS I WILL HAVE TO PAY ONLY 36K PER YEAR AFTER SCHOLARSHIP DEDUCTION, AND MY SPONSOR HAS MORE THAN THAT AMOUNT AVAILABLE IN HIS ACCOUNT. ”


Transcript for September 16th Abuja Embassy(Approved):

Fast forward to Abuja appointment day. Three officers were attending to people, I have heard of one Korean guy at the Abuja embassy from here that he is kinda …. So I had it In my mind that I will try to avoid him. To cut it short, I sha hustle my way to one Lady window, she approved the visa of the girl before me, also going for a bachelors degree

Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, pass me your documents
VO: I can see you are going to DePaul University for your bachelor's degree
ME: Yes, that’s right.
VO: So what’s your plan after your study?
ME: (In my mind I started thanking God that I prepared for this question not until I started stammering when speaking) I will return to Nigeria to work as a software engineer for one of the tech companies in Nigeria, I plan to create my own tech start-up also but I know I will need to have some experience before doing that, so I am planning to work with a tech company for some time to get the experience needed( I was stammering really bad when I was saying this, it get to a point I said “Oh my God, why am I so nervous” out loud.
VO: Which of the tech companies do you plan to work with?
ME: Kuda
VO: Ku? Ku what? What do they do?
ME: Kuda is an online banking system, that simplifies the banking system In Nigeria. I love what they do and I wish to work for them
VO: Who is your sponsor
(Last time I said my uncle will be sponsoring me, but I changed my answer this time)
ME: My dad, my uncle will also ...... (cuts me off)
VO: What does your dad do?
ME: My dad is an Electrical Engineer, he is an independent contractor, he works for universities, hotels, and some other companies
VO: And your uncle?
(I re-packaged my answer for this also)
ME: My uncle owns a pharmacy business(I stopped there, I didn't want to mention that he is in the US this time)

(She types for some seconds, and I saw her stretching her hand towards the white paper. I was like what? I was expecting a denial with all the stammering that happened. But she said I will be approving your visa, at this moment I no hear shishi again. I collected the paper and left the building.)

All these happened in a minute and some seconds. She didn’t even reference anything about my last interview.

I am still so happy and it feels so surreal, and my little piece of advice is that try to back it up with prayers also. I fasted and prayed about this and it worked out. Because when I started stammering, in my mind I was like I have f*cked this one up again. But I still got my approval, maybe if I had prayed for my Lagos interview it would have been a success regardless.
