What did I say wrong?? He had denied three people seeking f1 visas just before me. He looked strict and businesslike. He was typing all through and was barely looking me.

ABIM2016:
VISA APROVED this morning @ US EMBASSY LAGOS around 9: 45 am

EZEIGBO2OFIMO:
Yes, some people have gotten their Visas with Lincoln university, but to spend $XX,000 On an MBA from an unranked school (even Lagos Business schools is a better alternative) will not seem like a wise investment to a very strict VO( that interviewed you)

Nothing at all wrong here


Well, the VO simply didn't buy this answer; the average Nigerian graduate doesn't want to end up working in their parents SME, even entrepreneurial grads prefer to stay on their feet. Next time, you can simply say your work at an Agricultural Processing plant. Never volunteer more information than is neccessary

Again, very unconvincing, the bay area is one of the most expensive areas in cali, and considering that you're paying heavily for an unranked MBA in one of the most expensive cities on earth, it further makes little financial sense; No offence there.


Unranked MBA + Expensive City + Weak Employment History = your denial

HiredGames:
I see too many transcript with too many hidden details.

Hiding when you graduated

Hiding your test score

Hiding research topic

Hiding what your Uncle do

I wonder what ya'll are hiding, or could Twoods assertion be true? Abi if you have nothing to hide, why are you hiding so much

Come to the Canadian student visa thread and come and see how open people are!

Nawa for all of you o.

KISSABLE0606:
Lol Sorry ooo, emmmm but if the school is university of lagos, there is a way you can get your transcript without going through school and its stress, the person works at senate also, you could just talk to him and get sorted..........Irony of life.....

I introduced a friend to this thread some times back and he turned a visa agent over night.


Meanwhile, my Alma Mata still refuse to release my transcript on the grounds that they couldn't find my 100level results. This is after 6 years of graduation from the school oooo.

Academic affairs said I should go to dept, my department said I should go to course advisor. Course advisor said I should go to hod. HOD said I should go back to exams and records to hold them responsible because for me to have graduated, obtained degree certificate, and served, then it means all my results had been sent to the Senate as at the time of my graduation.


The only help they are willing to do for me is to convert me to direct entry which won't go well because my proposed school requires WES. and WES requires all my results. I'm frustrated.


Good GPA for that matter. I have been on this transcript issue since July this year. I have missed spring 2018 period, now hoping for fall and yet, no transcript.


I'm depressed, frustrated. Tots of "sniper" have been filling my mind lately.

check Lewis University, Chicago. MBA is around 25k.

Howfar Walspring.. Ki lon shele??

sotall:
The most important thing is that you need to have someone who is still a student in uniben who will help you in running around (very important), if the person is in same department as you graduated from, that will be nice.

Then you apply officially through Transcript exchange site. Register and pay. Then call your friend who will help you in running around from your department to exams and records to monitor the process and put the needed pressure when it is necessary on anyone that is slowing the processing down.

Justwise i thought you would have closed part 12 by now

I hail oo

femi312:
There is no special way to contact potential supervisors, all you have to do is send email and pray he/she responds. Faculties are always busy so 2 out of every 50 will most likely reply you.By the way you don't need to contact any faculty for mba admission since most of the time they don't get funded due to the nature of the course. Constraining yourself to only Maryland because your family is there wont help you, what if the school you get admitted to is not close to your family? Anyways here is a link to schools to maryland http://www.4icu.org/us/maryland/

That is an impressive GRE score. 310 overall.

For your course, you should consider going for Msc in Mathematics or Statistics at the University of Texas El Paso. Every masters student in either department is given funding - insider source. Best of luck!
