Full funding thats great. Congrats on that. If u have a bank statement take but it wont be so necessary. What u need make sure is to be very prepared for d interview. Send some people transcript to review if needed. Your full funding must complete to visa success ooo ...Once u prepare well u will be fine. Ur bank statement wont be an issue for full GA at all

Also next week is full of holiday so u need to comfirm that ur date is not falling on salah or monday holiday

Fesobi92:
thanks sir. however, I think I came across someone saying new Jersey is expensive no matter the amount of funding one may have. please is that true? and what can u say about the cost of living there? just wanna have a first hand info about the place before applying. thanks again

I am not going argue with you. You are only talking from hearsay. I have lived in houston for more than 2 years. Before I came to the usa, people said there plenty Nigerians in houston but you will be surprised that you won't see them left and right lol . You sounded like nigeriams walk on the street of houston like it's oshodi or Eko idumota. Well the only time you can see them is in church or mosque on Sundays

Hello guys, I really appreciate the comments on this thread, it has been quite helpful.
I got a full funding from Montana state University together with a GTA for an MS in Mathematics . My visa interview is for next week, I want to ask if I still need to go with a bank statement for the interview?
Thank you.

Good morning house.

Went to pay my SEVIS fee at Cotonou yesterday and here is how it went.

I first went to Maza Maza to take Young shall grow and they said 10k because I have not travelled to Cotonou before with that passport so it is technically a virgin passport according to the immigration.

I was advised to go back to mile 2 and take a cheaper bus that will take me direct into Cotonou which I did, it cost 3,500 (4 passangers). When we got half way, the driver asked if we wanted to stamp our passports or not.

I asked how much and he said to stamp is about 5,000 but if we don't want to stamp it, we will pay 2,000. We all decided to pay the 2,000.

Getting to the boarder, he took a back end and was paying some money at every stop and they were so many. At some point he asked the guys to assist him with some money.

Anyway we got to Seme and I saw the Eko bank, it has a western union banner hanging from it.

I went in and told them I wanted to pay SEVIS fee and was told it would cost 134,000 CFA and I have to go outside to change my money as I had naira.

I went to change at 1,700 CFA for 1,000 naira. My cash wasn't enough so I went to use the ATM which didn't work with my card.

I was advised to go back to Nigeria to use the ATM which will cost me alot of money because of the immigration fees.

Luckily , I met a Nigerian bike guy who told me he could take me across the boarder for 1,000 naira, I agreed but told him I wanted a place to keep my money just incase of any thing, he took me to an igbo food seller who agreed to keep my bag.

I gave her the bag but before then I took my money and hid it on me, and so we went just with my ATM card and phone. (The reason I decided to keep my bag with the woman was to make the bike guy know I did not have any money on me just incase he wanted to set me up which is something they do).

We started the journey and he took some shady routes (which also has check points), we got somewhere and he asked me to come off the bike and get on another, I was scared but obeyed, he reassured and explained that the other guy was a custom guy so he will not be stopped, that it was just to cross the Cotonou boarder and he (my bike guy) will take over.

I got on the other bike and we crossed without disturbance. When he got to the Nigerian part, I got off and continued with my bike guy and I went to withdraw the money and we went back same way.

(Please note that it was because I did not have enough cash that is why I went through all that, so my advice is to carry excess cash just incase)

After we got back, I went to get my bag and also changed the money and went back to the bank.

They assisted me to fill the form and requested for my ( I20, international passport and the printed copy of my I901 form that has the coupon number), I showed a picture of my i20 I took on my phone, gave them my passport which they made a copy and also my I901 form.

I filled the form and submitted, paid the money and 1,000 CFA was returned back to me.

And I returned back to Nigeria paying another 1,000 to the bike guy.

20mins later, I received a mail from fmjfee.com that my payment has been received.

*******THE END *********

I haven't lived in New Jersey so its gonna be ''hearsay'' information I will give you. If you are considering NJIT, best to search on google the cost of living and possibly how to survive there. Yeah its expensive, I know someone going to NJ for masters but then she has a family there so accommodation taken care of. There are folks schooling in NJ, they dont have 2 heads. Everything is about planning. if lets say NJIT gives you full funding are you gonna abandon it cuz of cost of living? I mean you should have some money to sustain you on a full ride, that should be cool

Chai, all this stress to pay SEVIS fee.
U would have contacted someone of this forum to help you pay na. Well, it's all good at least u travelled abroad, additional stamp on your passport which might help u during the USA visa interview. Kpele.

success2000:
bro, i didn't see your mail yet, i sensed there is a restriction on my NL account and i'm wondering if that should be the case. I do receive PMs on Canada forum but it seems admin her are very hard which it not supposed to be like that. I have commuted no crime here. why should a fellow nigerian do such a thing now that i need the advise of people like you privately cos one can not be discussing everything her (personal life). if i post my email address now for u to send me mail i'm sure it would be deleted. ...
ADMINS WHY, WHAT IS MY OFFENCE?

No the question should be..what exactly are you going on about?

Rather than wasting your time typing this monologue you should have follow whoever you want to send a pm first before sending pm.

Or success2000 you ask question first before making unfounded allegation.

Hello Akin, what school are you in?

harrycool:
Hello house, I've been a silent reader here for a while now.
I'm applying for MS Chemical Engineering for Fall 2017 to Florida State University (FSU), Michigan Tech University and Texas Tech University.
Anyone with any background info on any of these schools?
Any other universities I should also consider based on experience.
Thanks.

Hello everyone, many thanks to our gurus in the house for all your insightful posts. Please what's your opinion on IGlobal University in Virginia? I got an offer for their MBA program without GRE/Toefl scores, and its the only school in the US that I applied to. Hope applying to only one school and not having GMAT/GRE/Toefl scores won't have any negative effect during my visa interview.

Looking forward to your response, thanks a lot!

mevisbleek:
Good Morning Sir,
Hope you having a splendid weekend. Congrats on your admission. I'm of the opinion that any MBA program that doesn't not require GMAT is not a strong program. I have a strong feeling that the VO will ask for test scores when they hear that you are going for an MBA.

Been an MBA grad, I will advise you to take GMAT and get into a better school that will offer you internship opportunities and one that has a strong alumni network.

That been said, I'm in no position to tell you what to do with your life. I know that GMAT is hard but it better to do things right the first time.

Justwise you will just hide my comment and leave the other person that insulted me. Well done!!
