if your Degree or Course of study is one year or less = NO
If your Degree or Course of study is more than one year = YES

Yay!! ... Tnx

Folsy:
Hello guyz, Pls Will I b permitted to buy a 1 way flight ticket with my student visa to the USA?

Yes!!!

Folsy:
Yay!! ... Tnx

if you want to buy PTA from banks , some banks insist on return ticket for PTA so confirm first if u want PTA, or if the bank would take one way for PTA

so you have to make that determination if the difference you get from PTA versus Blackmarket justifies buying a return versus one way ticket ......if u don't need to buy $$ from PTA then carry go with your 1 way

Folsy:
Lol... U got a 1 way ticket??

yes Ma'am

Transcript for my silent follower sister. Posted as received. When Grace speaks for you, You become unstoppable. I got to the embassy at 5.am. I started praying. Queuing started at 6.am. I was number 20 on the queue. I continued praying until we entered the main building. After all necessary processes. Interviewing started! I was just seeing people saying unnecessary stuffs. Mostly unprepared. Blue papers flying like pure water. There was this undergraduate guy who was interviewed by the lady that interviewed me. The lady asked why is he going to Florida. He said he love the beautiful cities and the atmosphere is like nigeria own, then most importantly he's interested in watching the biggest game between Real Madrid and Barca. The idiot was talking about el classico for embassy. Naso dem send am commot with hin blue paper. My heart beat faster, although my texrem prepared me for the task ahead and told me to pray and pray. Then the guy i was standing behind, was also given a blue paper. naso my heart collapse. I just started singing God of texrem show yourself today. I'm kidding!

Now My turn standing in front of the VO and speaking silently in tongue She was so furious and not happy with the student she has interviewed so far. Well, I said in my mind u must gimme my visa. then Grace speaks when i look up to God. Interview proper.

Me: Goodmorning Ma
VO: NO answer

Me Goodmorning ma(with a smile)
VO: Goodmorning, can i have your documents. (look into my i20, sevis, confirmation page)

VO: OMG! this is perfectly arranged, did you arrange all this by yourself?
Me: Yes Ma, I did. I replied with a stunning smile. (Remembering my texrem words: Maintain eye contact, be audible and smile)

VO: ETSU?
VO: Nice

VO: Who's sponsoring you?
Me: My Mum

VO: What does she do?
Me: She's a contractor...........

VO: I will be approving ur visa.
Me: Thank you.

I thank God first and foremost. Thanks to Texrem my blood for the confidence he instilled in me, and all the gurus in the house. You guys are wonderful! I remain the biggest silent follower.

Pray and be prepared. No document asked.

Senatorbee:
people who get visa at first shot don't know the value except people who tried several times

And who told you this?
Iam still very thankful and grateful to GOD for making me get mine from the first time asking.. And many here who got theirs from the first time are more than grateful and know "the value"..
Cheers.

Firstly, if you are planning for Fall 2017, just forget your application fee and apply to other schools for spring 2018 or better still prepare for fall 2018. You might need to do standardized tests to boost your chances for other schools. To avoid this your situation next time, make the grad cord your friend. You should have asked the grad cord specific requirements for admission, if you had asked, you wont be in this situation. Not all requirement are explicitly stated on most school's website. WES is expensive and takes average of 1month or more depending on how fast your undergraduate school respond. Go to www.wes.org to use the free online cgpa conversion to convert your cgpa to a scale of 4, that should give you an idea of your cgpa if you decide to do the official WES evaluation. Even if your CGPA is not 3/4 after using the WES online calculator, there are many schools that will still grant you admission with your present CGPA, so don't sweat it, just research well. By the way, its even funny you are down because of one school's application, do you know the strength it requires to keep up with about 6 schools applications which is what most people here do?. In summary, brace up and pull yourself up.The battle is not for the weak

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND RESPONSE ..I HAVE CALCULATED IT VIA , YOUR LINK ..ITS 3.02/4.00 .....WILL THAT BE THE RESULT ALSO ? IF WES CONVERT IT ?

Who the hell are you to call me or my sister a liar?

Her name is Grace and she received Grace in the presence of the Consular. If you don't have any contribution. Just remain silent and mind your business. DOnt come hear to say gibberish. Please, don't quote me.

towbaynah:
Edakun, how did she arrange her documents? Please, I really would love to know.

I am short of words how this happened. Up till now i am speechless. Its Just God. I have no answer.

Lol, if some people start opening their mouths to tell you their experiences on this American journey, there are a lot of things you won't believe! I'm all for hard work, intense prep and all, but the race isn't necessarily to the swift!

1. It's very possible the undergrad was so naive, scared or clueless right at the moment, and spewed out whatever he had in mind. I mean, he was face-to-face to the woman who would determine whether he would be in this Nigeria, or in God's own country, some few months away. Likely a do or die for him!

2. Americans are so lose with the OMG thing! OMG, look at that baby, he's so cute! Me: I know, right!!

OMG, you're so sweet!! Me: And you wanna start licking me?!

Oh my goodness! I love you already!! Me: Just like that??

I wondered where he came from to start saying something he knew nothing about. You can imagine in my visa pursuit journey, my first interview and i was denied. The consular asked me why my school, and i was defining chemical engineering. A NL guy was behind me and mentioned it he wouldnt have given me the visa if he was in the position of the consular. So many things happen inside the embassy. You see people unprepared. saying gibberish. We should be grateful. We are just fortunate. Its God's grace.

I ve paid enough dues to american embassy!

Many crazy experiences when u listen to people. I guess I still hold the record for writing an essay at the embassy before I received my student visa in 2004.
The VO wanted me to proof I deserved the full scholarship. Thus she gave me a piece of paper and pen to wrte an essay titled. "Why do you want to study in the US" . Went back to my seat..wrote it for like 25 minutes. She graded it and gave me the visa after wards. This was way back though.
U can never tell what they will do or questions u will be asked at times.
