Morning to the bosses in the house, please i need clarification on this. In Nigeria Education system, 2 semesters makes a section. On my i20 I have '' estimated average costs for 9 months'', which means I have 9 months to complete the first year. Does that mean 3 semesters (spring, summer, fall) makes a section? I asked a current student the question, he never gave me a satisfactory answer.

Depending on the number of courses that make up the graduating unit . In most programs spring and fall make one year and summer is holiday . In some programs due to the total unit needed to graduate then 3 semesters make 1 year

So while most degree might be 2 semesters some are 3 so the program coordinator is the best person to advice

Hello everyone, i'm new here so i apologize if i have not posted rightly or something. I gained admission for my masters program to study in the us but my i20 came really late, like 5days ago. I'm supposed to be in the US by latest 24th. filled my DS-160 form and paid my visa interview fee but i didn't get any date before the 24th and while i was waiting for this to change i didnt see 24th anymore but 25th which i picked. The problem now is i dont know what to do? is there any possibility that i will be given visa if i go for the interview on the 25th? I tried rescheduling but the site wrote in bold letters that if i try again i will lose my visa fee? Please guys i really need help. I'm sorry if my write up isn't well put together, m really nervous.

I hope this sister of yours really loves you. Her advice is not going to help you. Your intent seems that of potential immigrants. Getting visa with this story might be difficult. You can go alone if you really want to study.

Your sister advice is not a good one...if your intention is to school then why will she advice you to go on visitor visa . BEST to go as an F1..how is it cheaper to gain admission from the Us ....stories ...

Also there no category if you go as a student to cover your househelp. She doesn't quality as a dependant

You're actually talking about tourism visa with the intention to overstay. With all these, any VO that sees you will gloriously show you the other way out of the embassy.

As much as she's right that what you're looking for is tourism visa and to overstay, saying you can switch visa like that is blatant lies. If you want to change visa, you're still required to go out of U.S to apply for a student visa in Nigeria. And with your maid, the story don't just sound right.

Even your sister giving you advice is an illegal immigrant, hiding from the police.

1. Your househelp isn’t going anywhere.
2. You likely will be refused a visa, save your money.

That is not the way to go. You should first understand what the exam entails, then figure out what materials you really need. You may be fine with the little already available for free online.

I think there is an opportunity to get an emergency date for people like you. Perhaps someone here can help you out?

If you go for your interview on the 25th, you will be refused, no question.

Probably you should defer to fall. Fall interview has a great track record and it's my favorite.

So I had my second interview yesterday. I had already posted the first during which I wasn't confident enough to present my case.
So this is the 2nd:
V.O : Good morning
Me: Good morning ma'am (with a smile )
V.O: Why are you going to the US?
Me: I am going for my masters in Prjt Mangmt at Morgan state University Baltimore.
V.O : Why are you switching from Geology?
Me: Project Management will give me a right platform to grow in my career. I have taken on many project management projects in my organisation even gotten an award as a best project management team member on a Chevron Project but because I don't a degree in Project Management, Jobs are not assigned to me.
Also my organisation has stated in my study leave that on my return with this dregree from Morgan I will be qualified to apply for a promotion.
Project Management will not limit me to my Organisation as I intend to move to other industries on my return to Nigeria, gather experince and set up my own project management firm here in Nigeria.
V.O : (She looked really impressed)
Why did you choose Morgan ?
Me: Morgan offers an interdisciplinary project Management course. The program is board. And Ideal for my plans. I was excited by the thought that I will study scope management and integration. That is my major area of interest because Scope creeping is a major problem in the Nigerian project management field.
V.O: How did you hear about this school?
Me: It was initially recommended by my boss during my NYSC so when I decided to go for my Masters in the US I researched using Peterson's guide and College board. I found out... (She cut me short)
V.O: What was your highest degree on ?
Me: I have a Bachelor of Technology in Geology.
(She nodded )
V.O: So that is why you want you want to leave I.T?
Me: No GIS (Geographical Information System) not IT. (My current job) GIS is a part
Geology and GIS exposed me the experince I have acquired in Project Management so It is in line with my career plan.
V.O: (Starts typing.)
Sorry pls hold on.
Types for over 5mins.
(At this point I was feeling good)
V.O: Who is paying?
Me: My uncle.
V.O: What does he do?
Me: He is a civil engineer and also owns a real estate firm.
V.O: Buys and sells houses?
Me: No. He buys lands and develops. Build and sells.
V.Osad Nods)
Why is he sponsoring you.
Me: My mom trained him so this I like a pay back (Smiling)
V.O: Nods.
(Starts typing)
Me: was waiting for my white paper. Lol.
V.O: types for like 2 mins.
V.O: Did you write any standardised test ?
Me: Actually I was meant to. I had prepared to but on contacting the school I was informed that it was waived for me. I believe it was due to my work experince and the professional certifications I have bagged in Project management over the years.
V.O: Starts typing.
But it is clearly stated here on Morgan's website that you need GRE.
Me: Yes but the departments have their own requirements for each cousre.
V.O: Why would they have their requirement when it is stated on the site?
Me: That on the site is General but they have theirs based on the individual programs.
V.O : I am sorry you are blablabla.
Me: I still couldn't believe it.
I have written the school explaining my situation and they chair has replied promising to give me a letter to the embassy to prove that I didn't need the standardised exams.
DO I REAPPLY & PRESENT THE LETTER?
I AM CONFUSED. PLEASE GUYS KINDLY CRITICISE & ADVICE.


Do GRE, even if you don't pass it. Then you can explain the waiver thing. They will give you. The consular follows standard. Simple!

nothing has changed in US immigration law, the reason why there are so many delays is due to the fact that the number of persons attempting to abuse the F1 visa has increased probably due to harsh economic conditions in Nigeria

It hasn't reflect on visa application yet. But he promises a stringent visa process even for legal immigrants. So far, the opposition is still pushing back hard but for how long, we don't know.

There is no nexus. Unless the law changes, there is no difference in how your application is processed. trump is free to tweet whatever he likes.

Oga Twood just wondering if some of his utterance will affect the decision or stand of some of the consular officers? you know in politics leaders tend to have some level of followers cause I have been reading comments in fox news and many tend to support his comments..... my humble opinion from a novice in a sh*thole country

His followers can say what they want. It makes no difference. Thankfully this is a true democracy where the law is respected, regardless.
