If you just finished secondary school, Your best bet is attending a session at Education USA. They will guide you and share all the available options with you including path to community college and scholarships.

This is a link to when the meeting in Lagos. They also do those sessions outside Lagos too

https://educationusa.state.gov/centers/educationusa-lagos


You have to attend their free information session first
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/educationusa-lagos-study-in-the-us-information-session-tickets-152861309291

When I was applying for my masters, I attended the session. I didn’t sign up because I finished undergrad earlier than their cut off year.

All the best

What exactly are you offering? Filling application and getting interview date?
Mock interview? How free are your services? Buyer beware

Hello everyone.

My interview date is 1st week of July (first attempt). I’ve been practicing on likely questions all by myself but I would love to join any platform to rub minds and share tips and ideas.

Pls I will appreciate any link at all cos I’m still very much nervous as the date draws close.

Ogundare26:
I'm not sure going to a community college for someone who already has a previous Bsc is a good idea, I think it's okay for someone who just finished secondary School and wants to go to a community college before transferring to a university than someone who already has a BSc

Even at that, success rate for Naija applicants going to a community college is very very low.
Community college in the US, is designed for working blue collar workers, vocational students, low-medium income families,1st generation college students and immigrants. So if you’re coming from Naija to attend a community college.. what is the primary reason? It’s cheaper than a 4-yr college. So VO knows you made your choice of school based on $$$….and you’re going to tell him/her that ur family owns all the airports and pjs in Naija?? If your financial ability is in doubt, you’re likely going to be denied. US no wan take care of stranded students.

I am not offering anything.

You can check the link I shared. Education USA is part of the services of the US embassy. All the meeting are held at the consulate. One has to attend an information session first to learn more before deciding whether or not you want to go with them.

“The EducationUSA Advising Center at the Public Affairs Section of the United States Consulate Lagos offers students access to accurate, comprehensive, and current information about educational institutions in the United States“

By visiting the link, you can learn more about their services.

Did I use them officially?
No, by the time I was preparing for graduate school, it was already 7 years since I finished my undergraduate program. The requirement for getting advising through them was that I must have graduated within the last 3 years (this might have changed)

Did I benefit from them?
Yes, I attended some of their sessions that was opened to the public.
1.How to negotiate scholarship - I used learning from the session to negotiate my scholarships and got additional $2k from one to the schools I wrote to.

2. Student orientation for Fall semester 2021 (one of the things they spoke about helped me during my trip to the US as I was pulled aside at the border for further questioning before my passport was stamped).

Do I know people who have used them?
I met a couple of people on my flight who got their full scholarship through education USA opportunity funds(I spoke with two: one got full Bsc scholarship while the second got fully funded PhD). It was from one for them I learned that if you are under the age of 30 and traveling via Qatar Airways for school, you can check in a 3rd bag for free ( this was in August 2021). You have to register on their site though. I didn’t benefit because I was older than 30.

I have seen some of their post about community colleges and I believe they can demystify most of the opinions I have seen on this board.

Ogundare26:
Thank you I also went for their general orientation yesterday and they did a general talk about the whole process but they didn't give enough details on the visa interview. Because I already gained admission and was previously denied I was hoping I could get a one on one conversation with the advisor but they were only attending to people who we're not planning to get admitted this year. If there is any way you could help me with it I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I read your transcript and I couldn’t see anything wrong with what you said. Sometimes VO, just want you to answer only the questions they pose without providing more information. My view of their interview is - You can do prepare well and the VO still denies you. You can work on your confidence and practice with people before your next interview.

Must you go to school in Fall or you can wait till next year so you can go through education USA?

If you cannot sign up with them officially, follow them on social media they usually have different public sessions virtually where you can ask your own questions. They have a preparing for visa session but I think it would be later in the year since they are currently doing session for Fall resumption.

Hello my people, I have a young student who doesnt have a father in high school. And I am trying to see how I can help him.

Hi guys
So I just want to start to processing my Visa to the Us . A relative over there wants to send me an invite.
P.s I just graduated from the university

What are things I should know that would smoothen my application process ?

I would appreciate any tips or if there is a thread I can go through .
Thanks a lot everyone

Has anyone tried the emergency request at the Lagos embassy? How fast does it take them to respond and whats the chances of it getting approved?

I am resuming this fall, I was supposed to resume last year fall but could not because of interview date and I had to defer it to this year.
Can I email you? I would like to tell you somethings. Thank you

No harm in what she did, because I have once attended the educationUSA before and they are legit and from they had a link with the USA consulate to assist students advisory on how to go about applying for schools and visa interviews.

Their social media handles are on the page. I checked Twitter but their last post was 2021, so I checked FB they are more active there

Good day house,
I’m currently in the process of getting my i 20, I want to know if the balance on the statement of account of my sponsor should be equal to or above the cost of attendance. Or does the school want to just see the inflow and out flow of the bank account?

That’s a good score. I would recommend you and the student attend a session with Education USA because they have more access to full scholarships at undergraduate level.

60 days to resumption is enough for you to get your visa and every other stuff ready

The balance just have to be way above and must be an active account as well.

Is the session available online as I no longer in country while him. Just 15th Se and trying to round off his waec

I don’t think the general information session is virtual. I say this based on my experience attending one of the session. Once a student qualifies to be advised by then, the usually issue a teller at the event to student
