Please how do I pay? Is there anyone that can help?

Also, can I apply for surge while I am yet to pay SEVIS but with the hope of paying before new interview date?

If you have anyone in the US, that is an option.

What is surge?

You need to pay SEVIS before you attend interview?

Hello house, I have a BS and MS in Microbiology but looking to make a switch into tech and migrate in the process. An MSc in Computer Science or any other IT field will help in this regard. Which do I apply with, my MS or the BS degree I had previously? I understand most schools require last 60 credits and the MS degree program wasn't up to 60 credits.

Hello, I was a Marketing Major, then I did an MBA, but decided it was time to get into IT.

Some of the best IT programs for those without an undergrad background are:

- Information Systems
- Management Information Systems
- Information Technology
- Data Science
- Business Analytics

Computer Science might be a bit too theoretical and advanced at the graduate level esp for those without a prior experience in that discipline.

Nevertheless, it is possible to go all the way with Computer Science, if you have the patience of spending one year in the pre-admission program (where you gather credits in core CSC modules like Data Structures and Algorithms, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, All kinds of Maths and Stats lol - to meet up future admission requirements)

Am not too sure about the other courses you wrote but for Data science which is my area currently. One must have a good Mathematics and Statistics background. But with help of tools like Tableau, mysql, etc, it can be more fun not forgetting programming languages like python, R

The male officer at desk 1
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: What’s the name of your school
Me: Louisiana State University, Shreveport
VO: Course of Study
Me: Master of Science in information science with concentration in cybersecurity and networking.
VO: I can see you have a scholarship and who’s going to be paying for your deficit
Me: After three different stages of interview with the director of the institute. The school was kind enough to offer me 70% scholarship while the remaining 30% will be covered by my brother including my housing and books.
VO: Who’s your sponsor
Me: My brother who currently works in XYZ company in NY.
VO: Oh, he works in the state and when did he move there?
Me: He got transferred from XYZ company in UK to their headquarters in NY
VO: What year?
Me: 2016
VO: What the you study as undergrad and what year did you graduate.
Me: Computer science and I graduated 2013.
VO: Wow, 8 years and why did you choose to go for your masters
Me: Mid last year I joined my Dad’s company as a system engineer it’s a family business. With the task and responsibilities being saddle on me to take the company to a better position. I need acquire knowledge and set skills to be able to perform efficiently in this role upon my return and also have an exposure to the latest cybersecurity technology
VO: Have u travelled abroad before
Me: No, I have not had any reasons to but I see this as an opportunity to acquire the missing skills and knowledge gap for my career development.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No
VO: Do you have a child?
Me: No
VO: Baba gave me a blue paper, you are not qualified.....bla bla bla
Me: Thank you

I wanted to cry ….I still do know the reason why that dude denied me

Maybe I needed to change my sponsor from my brother to my Dad and also let the VO knows that I have been working since I graduated

with your brother in the US. your have placed yourself as an intending immigrant. also what did you fill in your ds-160 form . I fill sometimes we make the mistake of given too much information and it comes off as us being desperate. eg , when the vo asked who is paying for the deficit of your fees. the simple reply should have been . your elder brother who works at xyz company will be taking care of the deficit. no need to be explains the 70/30 scholarship and the country he works . wait make them ask you for that information .left for me that's what I think oooo

Yes I’m sure about them. Those without a CSC background can cope. It just depends on their motivation and pre-program preparation.
