my guy roll in this transcript.

Hello house. Can anymore shed light on post doctoral fellowship, its benefits and if it's compulsory after a phD degree in the US. Thanks.

LagosNIV:


So I would caution you that adjusting can often take longer than simply having her return to an embassy and applying for an F1 - just something to think about...

Sure, but if everything is fine, adjustment of status can take up to 3 - 6 months before it's concluded. Putting this long processing time into your plan works fine, at least for those many friends that had done it without any hassles. This is the set of people I'm addressing.

Prepare well ahead of time, get all the required supporting documents, you would be absolutely fine.

Gosh..... i hate round and round circle in bold. .. May we never get caught up in this circle . It can be frustrating

That why me i recommend students checking other options such as applying for Canada PR when they are students in the US so at least u have a definte path to citizenship outside of Naija and if u miss d USA so much u go back later as a Canadian which is an easier work permit TN visa..... instead of this round and round and round and can be back to square one with nothing.

Not everyone has the same opportunity. This roundabout thing is common among the Indians whereas Nigerians follow another path. I remember when I was in grad school, there is this Malian friend that did his BS in MN for 4 years, after which he did post-opt for 12 months and extended it for another 17 months. When all his opt options finished, he came to my school for his MS, which is another 2 years. Luckily during his MS he got Canadian PR to live and work in Quebec. After his MS and after spending 8.5 years in US as a student, he finally moved to Quebec, Canada.

So, in essence, your F-1 visa gives you an advantage in applying for and securing a Canadian PR? Is it available to only students in the US? What route does one go through for this, that differs from the current skilled workers programme going on?

Akobundu1:
Plz,what do you mean do Sat and toefl...Isnt SAT good enough on its own?

If you ask me I would say for me SAT should be fine but don't forget those schools required that anyone that English is not his first language must show a prove of proficient in English language. This is why it's advisable to do the TOEFL, most especially the undergrads.

However, you can always write your choice schools for a waiver, you might have a strong point.

No i dont think F-1 gets any advantage (but the higher your degree the more points you get ) and it is opened to everyone if you meet the requirement ........ It should be the same current skilled PR workers program

As a student applying from the US , it was very quick back then to get compared to if you were applying from Nigeria . Hence it was a good backup if you are not ready to move back to naija yet and after 4 years you become Canadian ...however i dont know if that is still the case as in the quick processing time .

Like I described, the Malian friend applied for federal skilled work scheme through Quebec. Because Mali is French speaking country, he went for Quebec. And because he got his BS in US and had worked for a pharmaceutical company for 29 months (opt) in US, he was considered a good PR candidate (science) in Quebec. So, your US degree should give you an edge. He told me then that they want more people from science fields there.

please I need assistance. I had applied previously for F1 student visa for an institution in US but was found ineligible under section 214b . my status have changed considerably with regards to the circumstances which I was found on eligible. for instance I've got more convincing answers and also evidence of strong ties to my resident country, so I'm considering to reapply again but the date of school resumption in my form i20 have passed, pls so!eone should advise me

Defer your admission formally to spring session or the next session of the program since the date has passed
Ask for a new i20
Then Recharge , fire on and prepare well for your new interview

Obviously, you should defer your admission to next academic session.

Why this in bold? I've seen some sorts of words like that on some Nigerians' facebook page before, so I begin to think I'm left out of reality.

I wonder how they can survive grad school with those type of spellings and abbreviations.

bejust, Conditional admission means that your admission packet is not sufficient or strong enough for an unconditional admission (either low GPA score or GRE score, different background from undergrad study). So you still have to prove yourself that you can survive the program by making a 3.0 then the conditional status will be taken off. Schools do not just hand you a conditional admission if you have the sufficient requirement for the program without deficiencies.

I have two advice for you.

Rent a book through chegg, make a scanned copy of it if it's not voluminous. You have atleast two weeks to return the book and you'll get your full money back.

Secondly, you can check bookfi.en if the pdf version of it is available. You can use betterwolrdbooks.com or Ebay.

Me: as a project monitoring engineer and a leader in my dad's company, I want to create value for the company using technology and other resources to solve problems and improve efficiency and effectiveness in the areas of project management,safety and general engineering skills so the company can meet a global standard as this would also enhance the socio-economic development in Nigeria.

Conditonal admission won't be noted on your I-20. It might be noted on your admission letter, but in most cases they don't.
