Exactly, you nailed it. Getting into UT Austin and Texas A&M is tougher, a professor has to be willing to take you in.

Infact I have been trying to get a potential advisor at Texas A&M, the only two profs that have replied, said they're not taking new grad students. The rest after multiple mails, nothing yet. I guess I will try CSM now.

Hello.... Am new here.. I greet everybody, u guys r doing a gud job.. Please i have 3 questions to ask..

1 i have recently applied for undergrad studies for the fall 17 semester, but the school i applied to do not actually have a dedicated portal where u can log in and view ur admission status... I was only sent an identification form to my email after application, please do i have to worry about this?

2 when will schools start looking at applications and rolling out admission for fall 17? I read that its usually after the fall deadling(june/july), someone also told me jan/feb..

3 in the international affidavit of support form, its says i should write the dollar eqivalent of what is in my sponsor's bank acct, please at what exchange rate do i convert the naira to dollar?
Is it cbn rate, or my sponsor's bank rate or parallel market rate? Since they are all different.
Please i need answers thank you.

Chapecoense:
Anybody started fall aplication yet??

tomisinobm:


From my little knowledge,
1. You have nothing to worry about if there's no portal to check. Some portals don't even work. Some are just there for fancy sake. If you feel its taking too long to get your admission decision, send a gentle reminder to the school and try to make it look like you need their feedback so you can plan ahead. Remember I said "gentle".

2. Schools have started admitting people since September or probably earlier, don't get deceived. And its for the fall, not even the spring. The earlier you push in your application, the better for you. You can send them in may next year, your luck.

3. I don't know but to be safe, use the current rate which is about 480/490.

Cheers.

OGreene:
Did you even read at least 2 pages back? Ah ah.

There are so many prospective students in the house.

Chapecoense:


wow thanks..

2.. Aint those schools with rolling admission? Well thanks a whole lot. Actually called my school, and i was told they r still processing spring applications, and they'll start looking at applications for fall by febuary..

1 thank you.. A relief for me.

Chapecoense:

r u going for fall?? All i see here are spring applicants..

electronic:

Google is your friend

Chapecoense:

yea, but many info u will find here that u cant find on google..
Mehn, this thread na gbagam(read like 20 pages already as a guest)... God continue to bless everyone keeping this thread alive..

Okay, journey of 6 months officially came to an end today at around 7am. God bless the VO that approved my visa. i really dunno where to start from, but anytime i remember how the journey started with Lagosismyhome paying my application fee without collecting a dime, i'm always jolted back to sobriety. I'd drop transcript shortly.
Special shoutout to my virtual family; God's own scholars, especially Prof Charles, Adebimpe (aka Wikipedia), Egbon Kenny of Illinois, and Femi - i swear if this guy na VO, nobody go dey receive visa . i also appreciate Pastor Walspring, Texrem, Sureboy ,Francis, Bobority ... the list is endless mehn.
Goodluck to those going for their interview this week and the subsequent ones. I love this family mehn. God bless you all.

I would be an ingrate not to come back to this page and pay homage to whom it's due. I got confirmed yesterday morning alongside a fellow nairalander, Christian129. Although I have been one of the silent sneak-peakers on this forum. My sincere thanks to all the contributors on the USA Visa Enquiries page especially Lagosismyhome and Walspring for giving me my initial footing when I began the process. Also, my thanks to Texrem for handling my sevis payment. To Sureboy, me dey miss your yarns oooh. Not forgetting the ever vivacious God’s Own Scholars; Christian, Prof Charles, Adebimpe, Kenny and Sughar et al, una too gbasky . These dudes gave me the necessary prep( them tough pass VO sef sha ).

Steps to window 7( no b laptop own oooh )

Me: Good morning Ma
VO: With a wide smile on her face ‘Pass me your passport please’
Me: Here it is
VO: Looks at her screen, ‘when did you graduate’?
Me: I graduated in 2010
VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: I started working right after my mandatory National Youth Service at ****** as a Team Lead and I listed out my job description.
VO: So what next after your degree?
Me: I am coming right back to Nigeria to resume in an elevated status as the Technical Operations Director for my company
VO: Where will you be staying when you get to the US?
Me: The School Dormitory
VO: But schools don’t normally make prior reservations for student’s accommodation
Me: I already discussed that with my school’s immigration assistant(mentioned her name) and she has got me covered. (Actually lied on this count, but that was the best I could do )
VO: Make sure you keep your I-20 safe, you will be needing it at your POE and handed me the white paper. Also, have your US contact’s no on your phone at all times. (Na so I shine my 32 dash her and she reciprocated).

Na so my interview end and I joyfully waka comot d smile like christmas sheep.

Lesson Learnt: Confidence is key!!! Be audible and speak boldly, also maintain eye contact at all times. Lastly, let’s not forget the import of our creator. Always pray for divine favour. Danke!!!
