Dollar is 365 o 369 in sime places. However i bought for 362 this morn for 100 dollar bills. For 10 and 20 its like 355 naira. Ibadan at sabo was the transaction point. Goodluck on the dollar hunt.

Did you just say small denominations is cheaper than 50's or 100's. I remember that year when $$ still dey exchange for like #150 if you carry $200 go there in $20's them go give you like #140 to a $ I thought I was been scammed.

It was a typo. meant to add coma! yeah it will be gold if you get to find a school with funding in spring. but fall has more opportunities
borie4u:

Do u mean ra and ga is less than ta or its just a mistake that it was supposed to be a coma. Most school said they have no funding for spring . I think I all keep trying .

Joking apart, I have a terrible critical reading skill which made my GRE verbal score suffer. That explains why I couldn't fathom the gists of brightify's message and yours, or maybe the messages were actually intended for an informed person. I really need this help.
Again, the issue is I got Visa to go to GSU Atlanta, but I wanna enroll at CSU Ohio for the same Fall entry. How do I proceed? Please, in a simple language. I am a johny-come-lately on the amazing thread.

Simply put, you can go to the other school if and only if you already have been admitted. But it's better you get into the US with your main school I-20/visa and then initiate a transfer when you get here. This is the best way to play safe.

However the 'Present it' he stated means present your bus or flight ticket to the other school to butress your reason of going there.

If you have truly secured your F1 visa, I am sure the name of your school would have been printed on your visa. So if you intend to change your school; the best advice is to get to the US first, then you transfer from the present school to another school of your choice..
Read the 3rd page of your I-20 for further information.

Devil you are a liar.

My Transcript is below; sorry it came late. A journey of about a year. I got all my documents ready including my landed properties in Abuja before the day of the interview.

I was the first person to get to the embassy. I got in, did all neccessay routine and was on the line waiting for the VO to come in, before others started coming in. I was praying let window 7 not show up as I heard she likes issuing the coloured papers. eventually a huge guy at window 6 came then called me.@7:30am. I was the first to be interviewed.

The angels were in charge becos I didnt perform as expected.

ME: Goodmorning my name is ******
VO: Goodmorning, pass me your I-20 and Passport.
VO: what school in Califonia
Me: Humboldt State University. * I also applied to Wayne, MTU, didnt complete the application for EIU and Wayne but he didnt ask which others I applied to.
Vo: Why are you going to HSU.
Me: my people I started talking rubbish as i didnt hear properly. i was busy talking about my job responsibilities and Vo cuts in and said ,did you get my question?

Vo: he rephrased again.

Me: I didnt even understand what he said but all that came out from my mouth was to pursue masters in Energy Technology and Policy with my major in Environmental Engineering Technology.

vo: What did you study in your Bachelors?
me: Chemical Engineering

Vo: How many countries have you been to?
Me: 3.
Vo: Can I see your old passport.
Me: yes and I gave him.
Vo: He flips through and said I can see an India visa here, then I cut in
Me: I was suppose to go for a conference to present a paper but I was choked up with office work so I couldnt make it.

Vo: Okay. So, What did you go and do in Malaysia

Me: Vacation *
Vo: were did you visit?
Me: My friend invited me, when I got my first job and I leaved in Sri gotton wata lama.

Vo: He cuts in again. Where did you visit.
Me : Now the shaking don increase, as its been long I travelled there. I now said the twin towers. Petronas and the skyfall where snow falls (its Man made snow).At least I remembered that one.

Vo: Are you married?
Me: yes

Vo: How ld you be sponsoring your studies?
Me: I have a scholarship as I was given a GA position. I was granted study leave with pay in my office as my salary would be running and my mom would be supporting me. * I forgot the landed properties becos of tension.

Vo: He checks my I-20 again and said but your scholarship is not written here.
Me: I said its in a seperate letter and Its attached it to the i-20.

Vo: He looks at it and nodded. Typed on the computer and said your visa is approved and gave me the two white sheets and said some tins about picking my passport.

Me: I Smiled said thank you and left.

My people help me thank God oh.

My people all I ld advice to others is be Genuine, Dont lie, Dont allow agents to fill your D-160 or any other form. Then cry to God HE listens.

I want to thank everyone on this thread. God bless you all. I learnt alot here. I cant mention names becos I wont stop writing.

Good morning house, visa denied on monday july 11th with no documents asked which i would ve attributed the denial to. The VO was only contesting the schl i applied to study and he was referring me to another school. He said the school has a better course work in my course.

When i did my findings on the school i was referred to, i discovered the school offers ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS and not ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION which i applied to study. I work as HR personnel in my organization and the course i applied to study is well rooted in my field.

My question is this, can i book for another appointment for another interview so as to make my case known becos the school resumes in August 10th?

Pls Gurus kindly advice.

Sorry to read this
You have to Provide more details what were the schools or the referred school....it is possible that that vo it is his or her line of study hence that comment. You should have responded back that even though xx is better these are the reasons for choosing y... although those reasons have to be very good ones
