For my people that need GA in chemistry... I hope this info will help.

Hi Everyone,

Do you have any friends/family members who want to study Chemistry at the graduate level? The Chemistry Department has several assistantships available in the spring and possibly next fall. For more information, please visit:

Thanks,

My POE experience was smooth.

I flew Qatar Airways to Doha (10hours) and to Dulles, Washington (14hours), meal was good. I don't think I want to fly that long again, I kept looking at my wristwatch wishing the time would fly fast. Forced myself to sleep several times and also watched movies.

At Washington airport, the queue was not too long. It got to my turn after 20 mins. The man asked me for my i-20, what I was here for, if I have foodstuffs and I listed about 4 and told him I filled everything on the form given to me in the plane. He stamped me in, just spent 1-2minute with him. I took the bus to an airbnb.

I have been trying to settle in. If you have someone in town, it would make life A LOT easier for you. Housing here is something else, average is $900 -$1200, one room! I had to increase my budget by force, and still searching. If you can arrive a week or 2 weeks earlier, better for you. I am combining settling in + house hunt with classes and assignments, the stress eh..

Please buy converter charger or US charger and some items. The things I forgot to buy, am getting it here x4. Tiny umbrella for $8 - $15. I shock. Wetin I dey buy for lagos island for N400. Sha buy the things you will need ooo. Time didnt permit me to buy jeans in Lagos, the cheapest ones I have seen here are $20. Please please buy important things so you dont start spending on basic things immediately.

I am sorry for the late update

Western Illinois do not accept transcript directly from Nigeria universities. You can only send it through etx or wes. No other way aside from dis two.

i dont think ASUU strike should affect your transript, it should only affectt if non-teaching staffs are on strike.
The non-academics staff are the ones dealing with your transcript, apply and payonline(my school has that option) on a business day and possibly go to the exam and records office and cajol them, they can help you out in 1-2weeks

Good day friends. I have a question which requures an urgent answer. I am set to travel to USA by January with a student visa to attend a community college in New York. Am I allowed to book a one-way ticket? Also, will paying part of my school fees before travelling help my case?

Firstly it would have been nice of you to post a transcript of how your interview went so others can learn a thing or two just as you have learnt

secondly yes a one way ticket is perfectly fine. i dont think anyone would ask you at POE if you paid your fees so on that paying part is fine as well. if asked you just explain that the balance would be paid soon

Thank you very much. My date of interview was August 24th.I think mine was the longest interview ever. My transcript goes thus:
The VO was a young man, well built with beards.
Me: Good Morning
VO: Morning. May I see your passport?
Me: Sure (hands him passport and i20)
VO: (Regards passport for a good while and types on his computer) What do you intend to study in the US?
Me: Human Services
VO: What are some courses you will be taking in your first semester?
Me: (States courses)
VO: Why did you choose Erie Community College?
Me: I choose ECC because it is located in New York and I have always told myself that if I am to school in the United States it would either be in NY or Michigan
VO: Why Human Services?
Me: Because it is related to Psychology which is my intended program of study at Buffalo State University. I intend to transfer my credits to Buff state to study Psychology and I decided to start from a community college in order to save cost....
VO: (cuts me short) Why Buff State?
Me: I have always told myself that if I am to school in the US it would be in either University of Michigan or Buffalo State University. I settled on Buff State because it is located in New York, is one of the most highly credited Universities in New York and is a very diverse University with people from different cultural and social backgrounds.
VO: Why do you want to study Psychology?
Me: Well psychology has always been a passion of mine. I have always been very interested in the human mind, how man thinks and reacts to situations. I actually got admission in a Nigerian University some years back but due to the fact that it wasn't psychology I lost interest in my first year and dropped out. Goes to show how passionate I am about the course.
VO: You are so passionate about psychology so you must know some basic things about the program.
Me: Oh yes I do. (I went on to give a beief explanation about id, ego and super ego)
VO: Have you ever travelled outside of Nigeria?
Me: No I have not.
VO: Okay.( Begins typing for over two minutes while I could literally feel my heart in my throat out of tension. After a while he keeps my passport aside and hands me my i20 and a white paper) Congratulations you are eligible for a US visa. Your visa will be ready for pick up in three days...bla bla bla

You should be asking your admission office the question in bold. All you need to do is make sevis payment in the next link after receiving your i20 (https://www.fmjfee.com) then fill the Ds 160 form ( https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/) and lastly schedule for visa interview here https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=Nigeria
