Slimmy: You are so on point.

Portelli: Let me be honest with you, you may never get the visa unless you change to an actual degree. We say it many times here that V.Os seldom issue visas to older community college applicants, yet you think they will issue a visa for a-3-months non-credit course? Although there are exceptions to this which you will find later in this write up. But first permit me to point out some flaws in your answers to the V.O.

- You mentioned that U.S degree is widely accepted and respected. Yes it is - no doubt. But are you getting a degree? You are not even going to get any credits for the classes you would be taking according to you. This is contradicting.

- You said that you will become employable and a-sought-after engineer upon completion of your non-credit class. Please forget that. An OND and 3 months training won't make any difference. There are many unemployed engineers in Nigeria with a first class degree, masters degree, several certifications, and even a Ph.D. I am not sure any employer would hire you simply because of your training. An exemption may be if the job being advertised is mainly for an OND holder. So why would you spend so much to go to the USA, come back to Nigeria and get a technologist job and earn way less than an HND or BSc holder?

People who get visas for a 3-month training or class are people who are established already. Engineers who have a job and only going to add to their knowledge or get certified and in most cases are sponsored by their employers. Your case is different. You are just starting life and have no job. Why would you waste your money for a 3 month non-credit class?

I am surprised the V.O went this far with you. I agree with Slimmy that he is probably just messing with your brain. I am also surprised that you got admitted into UMD, NJIT, University of Bridgeport, and SUNY for a non credit class which means they will be issuing an I-20. Or do you mean you got admitted as a freshman? If the latter, why not go with any of the schools that offered a degree admission instead of the 3 months non-credit class? On a second thought, I remember you didn't write the SAT and these highly rated and selective schools would ask for that before considering you for an admission. I am not sure if your OND would suffice in lieu of the SAT but you never mentioned this so I will assume you didn't submit any of them.

I will advise you to apply for a "proper" degree, write the SAT, and go back to the embassy.

I wish you good luck.

portelli:
yea thanks. I would have used I-20 from university of Maryland Baltimore, but the problem was their I-20 came very late, when I had already booked appointment with the I-20 from SUNY college.

Ojap, I doff my fila.....Nice one boss..You're always and everly on point!

But you never replied my mail, why? Why? Why?

innovativeame:
I don't think he went to the embassy with a 3months non-credit course i20. From his transcript, he said after his OND he's been running a 3months non-credit course in Naija that he's going for a degree. I guess that was what I read, maybe I made the wrong inference.

OjaP:
Ooops !!! Maybe I didn't understand him well. Thanks for the correction.

In any case, he should write the SAT and go back to the embassy if he was admitted for a bachelors degree.

See dude I appreciate ur concern. But did you read my interview transcript very well. because if you did, u wouldn't complicate this issue. If you read without comprehension, feel free to ask qstions before condemning my post. So, with all the schools that I listed, they sound like community colleges to u, talk less of noncredit course in US. I said it, no slanderous statements, if none can say what's expected, don't quote me, I'm okay with what I have had so far.

You registered on the 14th and you already calling a spade a spade,. Besides, why are you trying to revive gone issues,..Anybody can make a joke on what suppose to be joked on, its left to a mature mind to take up the joke and this is what bartino didnt realise at first...
See Mr, We need to take it easy in this life and always make ourselves happy,. This life is just life making tea, You must boil your ego, evaporate your worries, dilute your sorrows, filter your mistakes and get a taste of happiness..

luciouslyon:
is it all abt when one registered? I have been following this thread since I started processing my school stuff which was last year. And I knew he was joking but I stated that he should know when to do such cos you don't the state of mind of the person that is seeking for help.

DeeTus:
Good. That's very wonderful. After reading his interview, i was so sure that the school he chose wasn't right and mentioned a lot about change of institution and some folks thought otherwise and said he should stick to the previous school but I thank God is evident now.

slimmy05:
The picture on your profile, contact that person and she would tell you about me and if you appear to be what you're not. Except you came here to toy with me

luciouslyon:
Toy with you? When I don't know you from adam For what if I may ask? I'm not an e-bully ok. And I'm not here to toy with anyone and I comment based on my opinion about the subject matter and I don't remember mentioning a girl related issue here.
