Hello Guys!
Please I am new on the US thread. I have been awake from midnight going through all US student threads but I am still not clear on some things.
I have a brother and his wife who are planning on relocating to the USA. Either one of them plans to come on student visa. Or one person could have student status and file for the other spouse. Please what's the best way around it? Basic aim is to settle down in the US at the end of the day and both plan to work. Please does a student visa allow them (student & spouse) to work? The wife has a first class in International relations though, so she is the one most likely be the one to come for study and her husband will join her as soon as possible. After getting to US how soon can they both start working? Please help a brother here. Please

It not so straightforward. ...... However to answer your question the student on F1 visa can work but it must only be oncampus and not more than 20 hours a week . (Except if you are even exception due to economic hardship then you can work offcampus and up to 40 hours ) but this not the norm and given only after one year for master student

The spouse can travel and their is a visa for it F2 but spouse will not be allowed to school or work on that visa. If school or 20 hours oncampus work is needed then the spouse need to switch to F1 visa

If u have a BSC there is a route for accelerated nursing but it has some strict requirements in terms of courses u should have taken before and level of gpa

If u can't meet that then u can apply for nursing using both your waec and bsc. Since you are starting from bsc again then the requirements is not as strict and they will evaluate based on that and give u admission or not ......

the only thing is u will put in extra effort to convince a VO why u want anothee Bsc . Its might be hard but it is doable as some have gotten visa so prepare well to articulate why u want to do nursing

seek4yemi1:
hello I will be studying in Calums too anaheim, same course of study with you, hope we meet in skool.

ngobaby2264:
Thanks a lot. My gp is low. Can I use my waec maybe write SAT in order to process my admission? Maybe go in as some one that never has a bsc.

I applied to study Nursing in US using my bsc in Microbiology and WAEC. I was accepted, tru with visa interview....... About to travel

ngobaby2264:
I'm 23. A graduate of microbiology. My gp is 2.34. I'm into business for now.

DeeTus:


What kind of business are you into? When did you graduate from school? And how's your WAEC Result? What year did you take it? Is it a combined result? Who is your sponsor? Have you taken any standardized tests yet? Why do you want to study Nursing now?

3rd class has high and low so ur starting point is to find out what exactly is your gpa in america standard . (Use wes online calculator )... that will then let you know where u stand ....after that u probably need a high GRE score to help convince a school to give u admission that you are will be ok student as most schools don't accept maybe after 2.7 gpa .

For schools that might take u . u have to put in a lot of effort to find those schools.. msc in bus admin should be mba .

Well everycase is different and what worked for A mightnot for B.... but in my friend case
She is doctor who had finished residency in the US so her earning power was good and her husband although a naija but citizen hasnt done much career wise so he was almost earning below poverty line self to file for her ..... that helped with the proof i guess among other things they had to show but really it was their lawyer who provided them guidance ...

Your sister can present that line of reasoning to her lawyer (economic hardship ) and see if he can package her story or advice her

Seajae:

That's a very wrong response fam.

godG:


Use the library. You can checkout books for the whole semester. If you can't get the books in your school library, ask about interlibrary loans from other schools. Have a great Fall.

Thank you so much for your reply.
They both schooled in the UK but had to return. And they haven't been able to find something to do in Nigeria. From your post I think its best they both come on the F1 student visa. So if they both get to the US to study another Masters, does that imply that they will only be allowed to work on campus throughout the Masters program? Will this take care of the bills, rents etc?

Schwartz:

Is it feasible to get a campus job?

Schwartz:

Is there a time during study when they will be allowed to work offcampus?

Schwartz:

At the end of schooling, does the system allow them to stay back and apply for jobs?

Schwartz:

Their situation brings tears to my eyes. Imagine spending thousands of pounds to study for years in the UK and then forced to leave the UK

Hi brother. How are you doing? Don't forget that he can't get access code for any book loaned or rented.
