Not really bro my ogas @imperiouxx ,@GboyegaD and co are here.. UT Arlington

Thanks Abbey.

By course, do you mean a course you want to study here in US? If yes, it should be an IT-related course, i.e MS in Information Technology, MS in Information systems, MS Computer and Networking Security, MS Cybersecurity e.t.c. The program needs to be IT-focused. It is a very good thing that you have your CCNA already. That's a big plus on your resume.

Use those course names as keywords in your google search and you'll get good and affordable schools offering those programs.

Yap. Maryland is one good place to concentrate all your school search efforts in - afterall, it is one of the IT capitals of US, few minutes drive to the white house (DC), IT jobs are plenty here, ease of getting an IT job on graduation. Why shouldn't one try to get a school here? Cite those reasons and the visa officer will bow in huge acknowledgment (shame acutally, that you know more of the US than her ).

seangy4konji:
But does stating this to a consular not give an incite that you are not willing to come home after the studies as you intend staying back and looking for a job and immigrate??

sirRiddy:
But I thought we are not supposed to hint that we would be staying back after graduation?

worry359:

You must NOT do or say anything during your interview to suggest that you are thinking of overstaying!
If during your study you gain a position, or offer, with a US company and they sponsor you then this is not an overstay.
Do NOT try to be over clever with the VO! Answer clearly and simply. ( bigfrancis21: is not correct.)
Do not try to outsmart them.
It will end in tears.

Hi I'm new here... and I have So many questions
I applied for a student visa and my interview would be on Wednesday tho my school would be rresuming on Friday.. wanted to know What to tell the come I'd he asked Why I applied late for my visa Cause I have no reason..But the school wrote them a letter saying They give me a week for resumption...

Horayce:

What's ur prospective Msc in? Mech Engineering? University of Maryland has highly ranked engineering programs but you shouldn't restrict yourself to one state/region, in case you get more favorable admission outcomes in other schools/states.
@house
Got into this beautiful country safely yesterday, currently working on settling down.

Do not get complicated, just state that you have defered admission.
But only one week is very little time to get visa and ticket organised!
You may have to get your school to defere admission untill autumn.
Do not try travelling after the joining date that your school gave you, it risks rejection at P.O.E.

Congrats bro, hope u had no jet lag, happy new year n wish u excellence in ur endeavours. Did u get any funding?

amen1967:
I think i will prefer the USA to Canada....Yes i am going with my family,because i am thinking that bringing them few months after departing will not be easy as it seems, because if she is coming she need to prove to the VO that she will be coming back, at the moment she does not have a job to use as a tie to her home country.. correct me if i am wrong,

Horayce:

No I didn't. Funding for new intakes is rare in my program. But i'll work towards one against fall. Done ur GRE yet? Wishing u smashing success this year bro
