My last interview, a lady from Baker Hughes was interviewed for 15 mins. I was shocked, some VO take their time and wants to listen to everything you've got to say. I love the way she posted all those work description, me sef don dey claim geologist.

That's the celebrant.... the kind of feeling you feel after you got the visa.

All burdens taken away from you and you feel like you're on top of the world..... intoxicated with joy.

But in reality, the visa is just the beginning of our worries. We are only better off those that couldn't cross the hurdle because we made it and able to make it to a country where struggling worthwhile.

I just wish to remain in the US after my masters and OPT, but now that mph only offers a 12 months OPT, should I look for the masters that will offer a 27 months OPT ?
What I want is just to remain in the US and be working there legally
Thanks

Walspring:


As soon as the VO see you, the VO wont stress you but grant your Visa.. Amen

Greetings boss. Please can you elucidate on the bolded.

biikeys:


Well, then after 27 months?

Keep in mind..whether 12 months or 27 months, you still have to get that job within 90 days of graduating to remain in status. So, have to be able to balance job prospects with interest, for your choice field. Once you decide, just focus on your MS first..there are other challenges

imperiouxx:


Depending on the course getting job during OPT year sometimes is almost impossible. Still the government will give you 90 days to get job at all cost in your field either you're extending OPT or not. Also check this below.

I have been rejected visa twice, what should do?
1. my account statement worth 2.6m, could it be the problem?
2. I haven't paid any fee, could it be the problem?
3. mount st. mary's is a private university, should it be the problem?
what should I do right now because my course adviser said I can't pay any fee while in Nigeria,

@akin3102
I appreciate your reply concerning the deferment and scholarship. The awarded scholarship is not for assistanship but an international merit scholarship(out of state). I think it should be cleared like that. The question again is wud d scholarship be intact despite the fact I have deferred the admission? Thanks a lot
