@Walspring helped me pay my I-901 SEVIS fee. The payment was confirmed significantly faster than I anticipated! Don't hesitate to reach out to him.

In addition to this, you should also look at smaller state colleges and HBCUs. There are a good number that are not selective and offer scholarships to international students for Undergraduate studies.

Moshkom:
“ Dear Undergraduates,

I know people on educational committees and advice groups have not been nice to you.. You can’t blame them because undergraduate funding is as hard as finding gold or crude oil.. but fear not these are 10 schools you should focus your search on. They are very generous (even for international students) and if you have a good enough holistic profile you certainly have chances of being funded

1. Utica University
2. Duke University
3. Vanderbilt University
4. Amherst College
5. Berea College
6. Princeton University
7. Soka University (STEM inclined)
8. University of New Mexico
9. University of Notre Dame


These schools boasts of at least 90% funding for their undergraduate program which in turn will make them very competitive. So please evaluate yourself very critically, take tests (SAT, ACT) and pass them well, improve your extracurricular and leadership abilities, showcase your athletic capacities and pray for grace.

Love always

Jesse ❤️ “

Have you gotten a date now?

Diezmanstrasse:
Hello everyone,
I appreciate the support we’re all giving ourselves here.
I’ll be resuming to an Ivy-L school with full ride financial support and fellowship this fall. After paying for SEVIS and MRV, I scheduled a visa appointment for February 2023, which was the only available date. I made the decision with the aim of applying for an emergency appointment to meet up with my August resumption date.

I would like to seek your comment on the following;
1. While filling for emergency appointment yesterday, I had technical issues, hence, my request was submitted without my support documents upload (I-20, Sevis, and admit letter). In such situation, would you advise that I send an email or call the embassy about this technical error?

2. How many times can one apply for emergency appointment?

Thanks.

Quick one guys,

As your ‘May date’ is fast approaching, don’t forget to keep preparing towards the date/day.

You are the applicant, you should know the kind of preparation that works for you, general mock, self videos mock, transcript p/reviews, YouTubing etc.

Preparation is key. You don’t just wait and be expecting miracle. Embassy ‘atmosphere’ is entirely different that if you don’t go prepared, your hands might fall and “e go shock you”. �

Aside preparation, make sure everything you’re coming with is set and corresponded. Your locations both on visa portal and ds160 be same, your application numbers on both should be same etc.

As the applicant; you should know that the VO ‘usually’ judge these ways:

GENUINE - Are you here with a good school or so? I mean, there are some schools that are ‘red flags’ to the VOs. Mostly, Colleges or so. Applying to the ‘wrong’ schools clearly shows that you’re trying to Japa because they the VO knows that there are more than 4k right schools in The US. So, no excuse from you.

LIABILITY - Are you going there to be a liability to their country. That’s where FUNDING stuff comes in, and reason why most FULLY FUNDED guys get it easily. If you don’t have that, not a crime; just make sure you package your source of sponsorship well and clear for the VO to understand that you won’t be a liability.

HOME TIE: They want to KNOW not just hear, that you’ve something that would bring you back to your country. That’s where WORK and FAMILY (mostly married guys) comes in. Like, you can’t say you’re not currently working and/or not married and expect the VO you might likely come back (putting other factors in place, don’t get me wrong). �

F1: Be ready for more convincing ‘talks’ within few mins, extra supporting docs might not be asked. You CONVINCE the VO not ‘replying’ him/her.

F2: Extra supporting docs would be asked, come along with that and with small convincing talks. �

Oh! Grace factor? Ok. But also prepare for it to happen or work towards your Grace yourself.

For those coming to from different part to Abuja. Air and Roads are safe, don’t let anyone discourage or put fear on you. �

Air: Green Africa and Overland seems to be cheapest airlines atm. 27k and above I guess.

Road: sincerely ABC, GIG and co are the most convenient. 12k or so.

Accommodation: there are cheap hotels close to the embassy, of 5-10k range.

Most, Uber fee within Abuja are of 1k range, so from your hotel to the embassy won’t be more than 1k at most. Unless, it’s an airport trip which are mostly 3k or so.

If you seems lost, kindly reach out to me, I can easily recommend hotels and Uber guys within the City. �

Lastly, kindly know that in this path, IT IS ZERO EMOTIONS. You leave your emotions and expectations at your Fav location not in this path. It’s 50/50 just for you to know. If the other ‘50’ happens, take it and move on, you’re not a failure or anything. You come again later. Be like, Burna Boy who reFired to Grammy from African Giant album to TAT, and won it in his 2nd attempt by not giving up. �

BE PRAYERFUL and HOPEFUL.

“God No Go Shame Us”

Good Luck!

but i'd still be in school. He's following me basically for support with the kids while I attend classes.

They may still see it as too long for someone who has something doing in Nigeria. Remember that he'd get a 2 year visa even if he says he's staying for 2 days. Leave it at a 2-3 weeks that he's there to help you and the kids settle into a new environment before he goes back to Nigeria to his job.

Hello all,
Please I need some guidance. I have been seeking for a PhD admission in the US for the past two years but I have been unsuccessful. I am considering going for another master's degree, as it is easier to secure such admission. My question is,if I include my master's degree in my application, will it pose a red flag in my ability to get the admission or study visa?


Hello

What was your undergraduate and Masters degree in? Grade? Test scores? What programs are you interested in?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Nozino: 4:04pm On May 03, 2022
PaulOtl:
Try the study route (especially Masters program) or the work route. What skills do you posses? Surf the web for job offers and apply if you feel you have the requirements. Even informal jobs like caregiver, crane operator, etc. It all comes down to chance and luck.
But then again, if your question was misunderstood by me, and what you implied was actually the best transportation type to get to the US, then it's by air (flight) my brother.
Abeg, do not go via ship. wink grin



There’s nothing like a US work visa. Not in the way we think of it. Even the HB1 visa is more like a lottery. If you aren’t a nurse who has passed all the exams, it is almost impossible to get a “work” visa from Nigeria.
