Pls how can i change my DOB and is it possible for me to thumb print twice to get a new one as a fresh applicant? pls also my gp is (2.05/5.00) in engineering, i want to pursue an mba in the States. Pls wat are my possible chances? Pls Godfriends advice me. thanks a billion

The best solution for your low cgpa is to start writing the schools you wish to apply to directly. Ask them what they would suggest that you do. Best!

LagosismyHome:
When you post a question be as detailed as possible if not how can someone respond back for example
You applied for visa visa last year which usually has two out come GIVEN or NOT GIVEN ..... if you did not state the outcome then your question is opened up to assumptions

Thanks i wasnt given i was denied. I also noticed the contact person i used for my last application had an issue with fbi as i googled his name last week and saw some funny stories related to him. i am also wandering if it would affect my next aplication. Moreso, i nintend to apply for mba but i have not read transcripts of peeps who went for mba courses and got study visa.

@LagosismyHome ,walspring.

Please is it possible to transfer from one from to another in d usa without GRE and toefl and still make it for assistantship. I will explain better.
If I gain admission to school A without GRE and English test, then after 1st term or semester in school A, I decide to transfer to School B which originally requires GRE and English test for admission and assistantship. How possible is School B admitting me and apply for assistantship?
Or should I go ahead and write both exams and keep my scores probably later in future.
I hope you understand my questions

Please advise.

Thanks

Hummm only a specific school can answer this based on their policy and how they allocate funding.... you cannot use a general assumption when it comes to funding because how they do it at B doesn't mean it how its done in C..... Contact the school directly and ask

Also i keep seeing questions suggesting someone should predict or how possible. Nobody can make such a guess. The same school can waive something for what A in some exception

The only advice i can give is FREE money is not easy and its a competitive world out there so if you need free money then u have to be ready to put in whatever work is needed and pray /hope for the best .

MBA are very much here and even within a month i have seem at least 2 transcripts..... regarding what VO sees or not see when reviewing your application. Only a VO can answer that . Any other comment might be speculative

Sure its common sense that failure or bad thing has no friend or relative ....so if it's a doggy person (to reach fbi radar) it cannot be a plus to your application but do they check, i cannot say

Hello all, I want to confirm this: In the visa application form (not DS-160) there is a portion asking for First name and Surname, no provision for middle name. Does one write First name together with middle name in that space?

If there's no provision for middle name...put in the requested names in the space provided and ignore the middle name.

Just fill your first name and surname as asked. no need for middle name

For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.

I think i mentioned it before... i am now 11 years post my last degree graduation which means on a school or program level i am very "rusty" so google will be your best research tool

please who knows how long ETA form 9098 takes to be certified at DOL after signing.

Folatush:
Congratulations. my interview to was by this same woman (window 5). very pretty sombori

Mine was by thesame woman too(Window 5). The woman pretty oo

texrem:
It wont affect anything...Its a matter of how composed you are answering the question.

thanks @texrem but was told the VO might think u are not serious if you didn't take any standardize exam most especially since one is applying for MBA

During the interview, the VOs try to, within seconds, determine if you're a genuine student. That said, taking a standardized test is usually one way of making their decisions in your favour. But if your program does not require it, then be prepared to explain it to the VO and not just plainly say "No" when asked if you took a test.

Gunnerson:
I no even know where i wan begin my story from. Abeg wey my brother and oga @Oludare01
Make i cut long story short.
Na so I reach embassy last friday o, before 5am for 6:30am interview. I thought i had all my document in place, so i was just using those hustling guys to catch cruise . Until it was 6:30 and the CGI staff called us to line up and bring out our document. I no carry my DS160 confirmation page go. Make i go out go print another one, though na 500naira be all the money for my hand, na him police say i no fit comot .Esupofo! na him i start dey speak in tongue for my mind. after small time, police gree me comot.
On getting outside around few minutes to 7, na him the hustler i meet to print say my money na 3k. My eye clear again . i sha beg the woman to collect 1k. Okay now, she say make i bring 1k, na him i surrender say na 500naira be all the money for my hand,second round of begging. Above all sha, she print, i run enter back. Me wey dey front before come dey back back . But God dey.
We do all the serenren enter interview room. Oya come and be seeing blue paper flying around . luckily, one of the VOs dey manage give 1 white paper out of 5. I sha beg God make i fall for the guy front, na him God answer my prayer, na the guy front i fall.
Suddenly suddenly, na him CGI staff bring one old mama from back come put for my front. Yeh!aye mi, temi ba mi. I sha begin dey speak in tongue for my mind again, dey recite Isaiah 50:7.

Suddenly, one fine woman just resumed at window5. call on me to come over. *sighs* now the transcript. Just 3 questions and all was settled in less than 90seconds

Me: Good morning
Fine woman: Good morning, your document please.

Me: *better person* passed her the document

Fine woman: *Calmly perused my i20 before looking at me* *unexpectedly* Tell me about your research interest.
Me: Wawu!this woman has changed parade o..anyways, God dey. Na so i start.
I would be doing research in *** at the university. During this time, I would be working under professor Yin who is currently research in ***. he is currently doing this by *na him i bring wetin i learn for undergraduate with hand demonstration*. This is imperative for me cos the North eastern part of the country currently need this and the govt has decided to fund research in this field. *as long as i dey talk, the woman no look me o, she just dey press computer*
As the woman no gree look me and i don tire, i just pim dey look the woman face. na so she raise face up look my face, nod.

Fine woman: I see you have assistanship, tell me about it
Me: Oya na... it is an academic merit award. I get the admission committee were impressed by my undergraduate result and the SOI i submitted during my application *to show i did the application myself*
*she look me nod again* I don dey thank God already

Fine woman: Does the fund cover your whole expenses?
me: it covers my whole tuition and i have stipend left. The remaining living expens...... before i finish, i don see white paper dey come.



whatever she said as the white paper was coming, na una sabi as una dey hear am o...me i no hear anything o...i just dey calcu as the thing with my i20 dey come say make the woman no change her mind.

Above all, it was a great experience. All thanks to God and my padi @Oludare1. baba and him oga overcriticize me during the mock interview.*One orijin onike for una* .
@imperiouxx, @bartino, @lagosismyhome thanks to you guys for your advise, when i almost lied on the DS160 and you guys criticized and advised me against it. Knowing i was honest with my application, i was a bit more confident at the interview.

I am willing to help anybody with mock anytime. Just PM me.

This is interesting and wonderful..

Welcome on board and enjoy your stay over there.

Cheers! Cheers!! Cheers!!!

I always tell people who talked to me offline from this thread about applying for visiting visa that do you know the background of the person inviting you or you wanted to go and meet maybe he has comitted crime or got there via visiting visa and didn't come back and the same person is inviting you and what do you think VO will think? Intending migrant without thinking twice

No but if you want your middle name to be there you will need to send them a message via the feedback option and attach scan copy of your international passport data and it will be done for you
