Hi, good afternoon everyone. I'm new here and just about to start my masters in US journey. I graduated with a 3.47 Cgpa, my question is will this affect my chances of getting admission?

Hello, your GPA alone doesn't make up your application. With that GPA, you can secure admission. What should be your concern is getting funding. So you might want to use the WES free calculator to convert to a 4.0, work on your SOP, talk to professors if you have to have approval to secure a GA or TA position and every other thing.

Best of luck

Thanks for your reply. We are planning to apply together (F1 and F2).

bukhety:
Do you mean two different statement of account? Are you applying separately? If so yes, two different SOA will be needed but if together as in the case of F1/F2, then the same account will do.

Can you transfer USDT to a Coinbase? If the answer is yes, then i can be of help.

Hello guys,

you are welcome bro.
If you are applying together(f1 and F2), then you can use 1 or 2 accounts depending on the total cost versus the amount in the account.

Abuja was bloody this morning... A very tense atmosphere. I'm gonna drop my transcript soon. But those questions might not be in order. After my interview, I started wondering how people remember how the whole conversation with VO went.

Lol...please share transcript asap

I want to believe the candidate will scale through if he/she answers the questions below as adviced.

UmmZayd:
WHY US?
This should be answered based on the course you want to go there to do not on country's development level. How does US has greater advantages more than Nigeria and otherwise?? Keep this comparison out of your response. Give your answer based on, "Why do you want to do this course in the US and not Nigeria without downgrading Nigeria"

WHY RCC?
Work more on this reply. What exactly made you applied to RCC? What do they have that's unique to them?

WHY CALIFORNIA
No no, don't say this. You are going to school not going to work so what business do you have with the biggest tech companies Plus, you can't talk about affordability and mention California. It's one of the most expensive states in the US.

WHAT WILL THIS DEGREE DO FOR YOU
Why exactly do you want to go for this degree and how will it be of benefit when you are done? And why are you not going for a Bsc now?

WHY THIS COURSE
Again, avoid downgrading your country as much as possible. This is about you and your interest. Leave Nigeria out of it.

YOUR ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
You might want to add some figures (year) to the details.

Best of luck

Please I need recommendation of an affordable hotel that's not far from the embassy...thanks

Hello everyone.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, joined here December and my interview was Jan 12 and it was approved. First trial.
All glory be to God and those of you here who have been posting.
I will share transcript soon.

Moshkom:
Oh! You already stated her on your last database. Since consistency is one of the key in this journey, you’ve to keep it at that pace, that you have someone there. Unless, she’s not your immediate relative (maybe not same surname), then you can easily remove her from the picture.
To my own understanding, K1 visa route isn’t still that strong for a VO to not think the person came in ‘illegally’, they believe and on paper that it’s VISA LOTTERY that’s the only means why ‘you’ should be in USA up till now.

PS: Hope the school you’re applying for and to ain’t in same state/city with her own? Easily Red Flag, so avoid!


My 2cent!


Luck.

Thank you for this.
She is my immediate younger sister that got married to a US citizen.
Her surname has changed to her husband’s own.She has also been a citizen since 2019.
The schools i applied to are not any way close to where she resides.
Thank you �

Good evening all,
I finally got an offer from Southern Illinois University for my PhD. That includes a full tuition waiver and Graduate Assistantship.
My wife also got the same offer from the same university. How do we go about applying for Visas. Do we apply individually for F1 visas?
We have a one year old child.

Please folks any help with this?
