Evaluate your transcripts first, both HND and the one from Cyprus.
Once you have the evaluated transcript, getting into a PHD program will be easier.
You can take your wife with you, if you are fully funded; or you can go first and she can join later. You will make that decision by yourself. You may be refused for going with you, and you may be approved...depending on the VO you meets during the interview and where you are interviewed. But you can go together.

To increase your chances of funding, I advise you to write the GRE test. It will increase your chances. But you may find schools that will not need it.

All the best.

I paid at first bank. I paid on Wednesday, it was approved on Thursday and was pending pre-approval, I got the approval to pick a date this morning.

So I got pre-approval request approved for the second profile for Abuja. There are no dates in Abuja, Lagos has January dates but of course, one can apply for expedited appointment after choosing a date. I don't think it is smart to wait for AVIST shenanigans and Lagos application tho, it's in the news that the embassy knows about it now. https://businessday.ng/news/article/us-embassy-says-addressing-challenges-of-nigerian-visa-applicants/

Evaluate both the bachelor's and master's degree if you want the admissions committee to consider your master's degree in their admission process.

Also if you have a master's and bachelor's, why are you applying to a Century college which I think is a community college? Except there is another Century college which is not a community college.

So, Abuja got no October or November date anymore?

Question please how were you able to see dates for both lagos and abuja? if you started the process with abuja do you still have the option to pick a date for lagos?

Drhay:
@fairheart Thank you for the reply, i have started the process for the evaluation but another thing i would like to know is this;


1. Can an undergraduate student bring her spouse to the USA provided there is financial document, if yes is it advisable they apply thesame time or one after the other. In other to clarify, the spouse doesnt want to go to school anylonger but would prefer looking for job, hes a software developer that can get gigs even when working from home (USA) as a remote worker.
[/b] Yes, however the spouse would be on F2 which does not permit the non student
spouse to work. The student must show they have sufficient funds to cover the spouse.
Now if the spouse gets F2 visa and moves to the US, it is possible to adjust status in country to any of the employment visas of possible.

Lastly if you already have a remote job in Nigeria you can continue with it in the US.
[b]

2. How can the person apply for Bsc, shes looking into considering nursing mostly short time course of study maybe 2years course instead of 4years

[/b]research and find. It's DIY work. Use YouTube, Google, read threads on nairaland[b]

3. Is it possible, for instance the husband got a job that can give work visa / employment visa to convert to a work visa ?



Just want to get some clarity and sincere response

Thanks you so much everyone for your contribution

Yes, you can pick from either embassy. As I said, there were no regular dates for Abuja even though my payment was for Abuja. I picked a Lagos regular date and when the expedited appointment was approved, I picked for Abuja because I can't have waited for 46 days since 30 August, 2024, paid a new MRV and still go through the stress of Lagos. But for either expedited or normal appointment, you are at liberty to pick any embassy as long as the confirmation page of your visa application is with you, you are good to go.

Good evening
Please is it possible to use SERVIS fee pay for a particular course for another course in the same school...

Let me explain you already pay for a SERVIS fee and book visa interview successfully but the school message you ND there is a need for you to choose between changing course or deferred the admission, so you decided to change course... So the question is can someone change the details of the SERVIS fee registration and use it after another i-20 has been issued by the school but the SERVIS no didn't change.. Thanks

Good evening house, please I have my interview coming up but I initially rescheduled my appointment because my passport wasn’t 6 months beyond the program end date, I applied for a new passport and have completed a new ds160 with the new passport number. Please which one should I give the Vo during interview, the old passport and ds160 or the new passport and new ds160. Also do I need to explain it to the officer once I’m there for the interview. Thank you!

Gretmang:
It’s the DS-160 that you give them at the embassy during interview that they’re gonna treat. There’s no way they’re going to treat a DS-160 that you don’t give to them that day. If u don’t tell them they’re not going to know. all the other DS-160 just stay somewhere in the system and u can access them anytime tol
