Moshlaw: Better countries that is waay better than the US still go to the US for visiting or study but the only difference is that the chances of them abusing the terms of their visa is very low unlike with Nigerians. |

TyroneP: Thumbs up to Folarin Samson on this one, Nigeria, we are obviously sitting on gun powder, if we can take good care of our educational system in Nigeria, Nigerians won't bother travel even to Ghana to study. Way forward please? |

TyroneP: The National Bureau of Statistics said data from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board showed that 11,703,709 applications were received between 2010 and 2016. That makes an average of 1.6 million applications per year. However, a report on “JAMB Admitted Candidates by State and Gender within Faculty,” released by the NBS said only 2,674,485 students were admitted across the 36 states and the FCT between 2010 and 2015. That makes an average of 445,747 admissions per year. In 2015 alone, only 30 per cent of students who applied were said to have been given admission, which represented the highest from 2010 to 2016. The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, in March 2018 told journalists that of the 1,840,225 candidates who applied for admission into tertiary institutions for the 2017/2018 academic session, 842,505 candidates made the required cut-off marks. He added that of the 842,505, only 550,357 were offered admission. The number of those given admission represents about 30 per cent of those who applied that year, leaving the remaining 70 per cent figure of 1,289,868 without admission. This is so serious |

Cindy95:If you still plan to study in the US, do not go back and tell a different story from your previous interview, they must have minuted on your file and any VO you meet again will read the previous comments on your file and will be waiting for you to tell lies and nail you further, you might need to show strong reasons why you need to study in the US or you can try other countries, the fact that your sister traveled to the US and adjusted her status via marriage might continue to be a kilimanjaro rock for you to climb in seeking a US student visa 1 Like |

Spygadgets19:I don't know about Australia, but you can try Norway, education in Norway is free, but you'll cover your accommodation and feeding. learn Norwegian and you're good to go. Norway is issuing visas anyhow now. go to their embassies with your letter of admission , attend their interview, when you pay all the necessary fees , you're good to go! Lykke til!(Goodluck!) 2 Likes 1 Share |

miqos02: That one depends on your lifestyle. For me I would say Spain if you are doing at the height of summer just because you can meet more people from other countries there. Plenty people from Italy, Germany, UK and others so to me it is cheaper since you can interact with people from many countries for the price of one. 2 Likes |

Schwartz:The question you need to ask yourself is, how many Chinese students violate their visa after their study. They mostly go back to China to develop China. Most of them are children of rich Chinese tycoons. But that cannot be said about Nigerians. No Nigerian wants to leave the US after study. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

gypsey: This is insightful. So much to learn here. But I have my doubts about the bolded section. Two friends of mine got their F1 visas this July. One is 28 and the other 32. They're both single. The 28 year old guy had a good job and a relatively healthy bank account. He has gone for an MBA. The sum of his savings and the grant he received from the university can't pay for the total cost of the MBA. Yet he got the visa. He's taking a loan from the school. The 32 year old guy was pretty much struggling. Talented guy, but this society seemed to be very unfavourable to him. He didn't have savings to pay for his PhD program. But he received teaching assistantship offers from several universities. Both these guys got multiple admissions, and did well on the GRE and GMAT. They, I, and the US visa officer surely knew that they are not coming back to Nigeria. I believe the US accepts people that they perceive will be a net benefit to their economy/society in the long term (likely to offer skilled services, pay taxes, and not engage in welfare abuses). The VOs probably believe that these my friends have been well vetted by the good institutions that accepted them, so my friends will probably be useful upon graduation. My suspicions are further buttressed by the fact that every serious minded person I have known who applied to the US consulate for a student visa over the last 10 years, have received the visa. True, anecdotal evidence is not strong evidence. But it's enough to reassure certain people who still have dreams of studying in the US. 2 Likes |

GiantParrot:Yes, you are right, in the case of your 2 friends from the way you described them it appears they have potentials, as you have quite rightly assserted the US accepts people who would benefit them and Few of those who would be of benefit to the US neither ussually Seeks for US visa or can't not Afford to. like one of your friends The most Applicants of US visa are ussually folks who would be a drain to their economy, Economic migrants or folks who are not really certain why they want to travel to the US ( Hustlers) hence their visa Denials. And i didn't mean Every body within that Ages, surely there have to be some exceptions like your friends. I Agree with your Assertions Above totally. 2 Likes 1 Share |
