Hey !

No !! Public school in the US is not the same as dependency burden . Otherwise kindly define or tell us here the meaning of dependency burden ...waiting

95% of Africans or let's say international students attends Public Universities in the US because majority cannot afford private Universities..infact, the VOs does not expect you to apply to private Universities because they naturally thinks you cannot afford it...So tell us don't we pay for the school fees and other expenses at the public Universities in the US ?

Back to the kids ...Nobody can sit down here and type the VO will automatically deny both kids visas ....it's s lie because no one here works as a VO or consular ..we are just giving advice based on past experiences and personal research.

@ Masqullette

There are many NGOs and Private organisations funded or supported high , elementary and middle schools in the United States (THEY SUPPORTS NEW ARRIVALS KIDS EDUCATIONAL ISSUES) . , Therefore, let your sister go ahead with her visa application . She is not the first person to go that route and she is not going to be the last ..

She is not claiming refugee nor an asylum seeker , the VOs knows that if she is an outstanding student she might eventually become an instrument of knowledge for America by dolling out knowledge as a lecturer or by working which turns her to a tax payer too.

LET HER GO AHEAD IF SHE HAS THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITY....THE VISA IS NOT 100% GUARANTEE BUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE DONE IT IN THE PAST ...SHE SHOULD BE DETERMINE AND DO HER ASSIGNMENT VERY WELL.

There is God ..Don't give up.

ColdHunter:
Experienced friends, kindly help.

I graduated with a 1st Class, BSC Nursing and currently working in a Federal Teaching Hospital.

I have two options I wish to explore:
1. Apply for a masters degree in either the US or Canada.
2. Go to Philippines for my NCLEX and then apply for jobs in either US or Canada.

Which would you suggest, especially on a budget of 12m.

Kindly assist.

Good evening everyone, thank you all for all you do here. I have read through some pages of this thread and I still don’t have a concrete answer. Can someone on USA student visa take their spouse and children along? Does student visa cover dependants. Kindly clarify, thanks a lot

Leftrightcenter:
I think your two options look great and promising. However, bear in mind that to practice clinically as a nurse in USA or Canada, you need NCLEX (if I am not mistaken).

As others commented, you can apply for MSc or PhD and you have high chances of getting funding. But you have to define the path you want and also know the timeline involved in finishing PhD program.
You can prepare and write the NCLEX while doing your PhD or MSc (as the case may be) and use the opportunity to also network.

ColdHunter:


Thank you Sir for your kind reply.

I already looked up MSC admissions in both countries for Nursing and found that I have to be licensed to practice before I can enroll and licensing requires writing NCLEX too.

I considered applying for MSC in other Health fields like Gerontology but I'm afraid it may be a deviation from my undergraduate field.

Also, for the PhD, what would be the requirement?

Sorry to bother you.

BigIyanga:

Per my limited knowledge, no 2 schools have the same admission requirements. Some do take intl students without NCLEX. You have to reach out to more schools.
Start applying to schools and stop looking at general information boards. One tested experience is better 10 scenarios posted on info board. You’re a unique candidate with your unique qualities.

Why are you considering other health-related programs… when ur nursing degree and NCLEX can you a multiple job offers in the US? It will also give you a path to citizenship.
Also, if you get tired of your PhD program, you can master out of it, and take your MS and NCKEX to job market. Either way, you are going to be fine. Good luck

Hello everyone.

Please i graduated 10 years ago, 37 yrs and single. though i have 7 yrs work experience. Do you think i have any chance at getting this US student visa. Do they consider age?? and study gap?
pls am new here.

NewBoyKhashoggi:


Hey !

Going for an MSc with 2 teenagers seems like RELOCATION GIMMICK but if she plays her game well she will get the visa .

1. She has to proof to the VO that she has more than enough money as she is going to cater for both dependents ...that can be in the form of a fixed deposit account ...reliable source of money from Nigeria , husband funds from Nigeria etc while she is studying in the USA as an MSc student .

2. I will recommend that she look for a college for the kid that has finished high school right now and print out email correspondence from the college or University....THE VO espects both kids to enroll to school upon their arrival in the USA because they cannot work.

3. She should look for an appropriate high school for the one in Junior school and also print out email correspondence from the school . THE IDEA HERE IS TO SHOW THE VO THAT SHE HAS MADE EDUCATIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR BOTH KIDS BEFORE LEAVING NIGERIA .

4. She should tell the VO the dangers of leaving them behind ... perhaps they use to fall sick if they don't see her within 1 week....perhaps they can be easily manipulated into bad influence without the mother ....perhaps they are asthmatic and she is the only one that knows their medical needs ETC ..All those mentioned are some of the excuses that can beat the VOs.


In all, she has to convince the VO beyond reasonable doubt that she has MORE THAN enough money for the upkeep and academics of both kids because the VO won't want the kids to become a dependency burden on American government.

There is God ..Don't give up.

TWoods:


Her second child is essentially leaving school here and planning to enter a public school in the US, where his parents have never paid tax. The first kid is already done with secondary school and is likely looking to start his undergrad. My hunch is that both the kids will be denied.

BigIyanga:

Going for MS with 2 pre-adult kids , is giving an expo that this is a Japa move .. lol.
