Congrats in advance. I'm expecting to hear back from CWRU on March 1.

Congratulations. I tap from your blessings

Good day guys.

I recently got admitted to University of Tennessee Knoxville to do a Ph.D. with teaching assistantship.

Please what do I need to know about Visa processing?
I intend to marry before leaving (with her) possibly in August.

Please where do I start from?

Keyin:

How is your own coming along?

Why the secrecy? A lot of people share their school, their academic profiles etc on forums all the time. Maybe it’s a Nigerian thing because this isn’t the norm on Reddit.


You can’t book an appointment yet. You need the 1-20 and you should pay the sevis fee too. Electronic (Emailed) I20 are acceptable. There’s enough time for visa waka. August is still far.

There is a reason... most on Reddit are genuinely there to help you. Most here are intellectually lazy and looking to simply copy your exact scenario. If he mentions the school and program, rest assured that the program will be deluged with applications from Nigerians in no time, all asking for the same thing.

.I got an offer from CWRU today.only 35% funding to offset tuition cost.Is your program also MBA?When were you interviewed?

MamaOO:


You’re gatekeeping school and you’re expecting people to come forward with information for you? No be juju be that? Nigerians! SMH. will mentioning the name of your school cause them to rescind your offer?
Go to the phd channel and see how people help themselves. Nigerians and crab in a bucket mentality na 5&6.

If you are an aspiring PhD and you have this mentality, omo, you need to work on a lot of things. Smdh.

Meaningless. Many of the people angrily demanding for school aren't doing so for altruistic purposes... merely for their own selfish interest... and that is the hilarious part of it. They don't want to do any work, just tell them about the school so they can apply too.

MatanBoka:
You mean you mentioned the school after people started calling you out

The wait time can be frustrating and sharing a school name could help alleviate someone’s frustration. And most times, people say “congratulations!” and just pray they get an offer - not to wish yours is rescinded.

...and that right there is why everyone is flailing him for not sharing the name of the school... not because they care about him at all.

BigIyanga:

I no need to sabi u Mr Sabinus wey dey hoard basic info.. by your singular act, you have shown that you’re a selfish user. W[b]e’re encouraging young, motivated and driven Nigerians to apply and get admitted[/b]… but you’re worried about ur selfish self. Good luck in your lonely journey.

"Motivated and driven Nigerians" do not need to know your school and program. They already have their own plans and are here to exchange ideas. The majority of folks here are not interested in going to school, are not motivated, and have no idea what drive is. Hence why they get super angry if you don't share your school name. Let's be sincere, he has gotten far more abuse than fraudsters on this thread while legitimate questions and requests go unanswered. Why? Because too many hang out in the shadows, waiting for someone to drop their own success story so they can simply copy it verbatim. We see it here all the time, one person gets lucky at one program and all of a sudden, entire Nigeria is now applying to that program.

This thread worked better in the old days when everyone had their own plan and this was a way to compare notes and ask detailed questions. Today 10% are doing their work, 60% are hiding around waiting to copy and the remaining 30% are just wasting everyone else's time.

I previously checked out their mechanical engineering MS program and their Environmental Science PhD program and I don’t think their MS in Mechanical Engineering funds their students and the PhD requires one to find a supervisor. The fact that they require official transcript and gre score is even more annoying.

They should just give you free education without doing anything on your part? Absurd.

MyFlair:

No I applied to two; one MSc and one PhD. Got the PhD, the MSc is still under departmental review

You'll be fine. Excellent school and program + full funding should put you in good stead for your interview. Good luck and don't let anyone bully you again.

Mattinno:
Please I would like to ask this question , for the gurus in the House , As an International Student In the UK with a Valid Visa , I would like to ask is it possible to apply to the United States for a Visit Visa , even without going to a Schengen country , Just to a tourist Visa to the United States and what are the chances of getting the visa

Your chances are good. Feel free to apply.

Davegabriel:
Hello everyone,

Please I need your help, if I apply for financial aid from my university will it be a problem for getting my F1 Visa approved because the school will include the loan I have secured from the university in my I-20 and I don't know if that will be a problem for the consular to approve my visa. I already have a scholarship and the school offers loans for international students.

This will be a challenge. You will need to pay the loan back at some point, which suggests to the VO that you have no intention of leaving after your studies and clearly cannot afford your study.

Lol

But financial aid is not considered a loan??

Waiting for decision in UAla although earlier got love letter from WPI and CSU

BigIyanga:

How is your own coming along?

BigIyanga:

Depends on what it is. If it is a scholarship/TA/GA/work-study/grant, then that doesn't come with an obligation to repay and is ok. A loan is a different story. You have an obligation to repay.

I dont see anything wrong with Naija applicants asking to know the name of the school. The school is not going to lower their standards to accommodate all applicants. Once their funding pool is dried up, new applicants will be required to bring $$ if approved.
Some schools love having Naija students come to their programs.

Fair enough. But viciously bullying people for choosing not to state the name of their school is wrong. The name of the school has nothing to do with the purpose of the thread.

TWoods:

Your thought process and jumping on my post is what’s absurd. The vast majority of schools accept unofficial transcript and gre score for the initial review process and only ask for the official files after you’re recommended for admission. DO NOT BE STUPID OR ANNOY ME.

Like, I don’t even know how that guy reasons. Even if a million Nigerians apply, they still won’t admit you if you don’t meet their requirements.

Any stats to back up this absurd and racist claim?

Please can one change from Lagos to Abuja even after filling the ds-160 and paying the visa fee under Lagos for the purpose of getting an earlier date??

congratulation fam

I've been here long enough to see the ebb and flow. Feel free to disagree, but the quality of the thread has diminished. It's mostly filled with blowhards like you, no surprise.

Now that you're annoyed, what are you going to do about it?

Ignore you. Seeing that you really aren’t smart.

So, no stats? We should just take your words for it?
