Please can anyone recommend schools that offer masters in economics without GRE and give funding too.

I have checked different schools but they all required GRE.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks bro. I will work on those
100kobo:


The first question on "What, where and why..."
I presume you know the question may not come in that fashion. It would have made more sense if you separated it so I can know if there's any question you are supplying more answers than necessary.

Why WSU? Your responses are okay. You may do well to leave out the minor reasons on the last paragraph.

On sponsorship... you may need to have a convincing response on why Uncles are your sponsors. Ensure to go with the necessary support documents indicating your study leave approval.

Over all, you've done a great job on your script. Work on the delivery....Go and conquer!
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by felixboye1(m): 11:56am On Nov 28, 2018
Alright bro. Thanks.
fairheart:
I was about asking why tying the 3 questions together. He should separate them and provide answer respectively. In addition to what 100Kobo has said, it is important to add that the student needs to prepare a strong response as to why it is his uncle sponsoring him and paying that large amount of money. "Why is your uncle sponsoring you?" and "What is the relationship between you and your uncle?" will likely come up--for those whose sponsor is uncle.

The overall transcript is cool, but can be improved on. Good luck!

P.S I got your message and will reply as soon as possible.

Let me reiterate, I think I caused this barcode scare; my mistake was that my Ds-160 application ID (of the DS-160 form i submitted) was diff from the one I inputted on my appointment scheduling profile. It was an error I should have noted and corrected. That being said all you have to do is make sure you put the right ID/code that was generated for you when filling your ds-160 on the scheduling profile, that's all. No scare! If you haven't scheduled your appointment the 72hours thing doesn't apply to you.

I still have one more question to ask please , I was denied in August after being placed on administrative processing , the vo collected my dad s statement and my passport , hours after my interview I went to check my status and I saw refused. I discovered later that I placed my dad s personal bank statement of about 8m instead of His business statement with more than double the amount that I wanted to use , so I’m assuming the vo saw that and refused me immediately, could it be for that reason or is there another reason that could have caused it ? Because my interview went well and I answered all the questions properly . My next interview is next week and I’m really bothered . Please I need you guys opinions , so I can adjust anything I’m supposed to adjust I don’t want to be denied a second time cry

100kobo:


Your response on Why USI is very shallow and would fetch you a zero score.
What are some of those courses they offer and how are they relevant to you after the program. You didn't need to talk about weather, as it's nonacademic neither was the issue of internship necessary- USI is not the only school with opportunity for internship. If I am not convinced as to why you selected USI, be sure the VO won't adjudicate your response any different.

What will this course do for you? You may need to mention in specific terms, where exactly you fit in with this degree. Mentioning "public agencies" sounds rather generic. Again, this is an opportunity to talk about the personal appeals that motivated you into this graduate program.


Post-study plans: When you mentioned "Lagos State Secretariat", you sounded too sure you'd get it. Anyway, you need to present yourself as competitive and willing to give your services to jobs that deserve your quality. I am bewildered as to why you're leaving your job with CEO Africa and switching to Lagos state Secretariat. It doesn't show purpose and consistency.

You can expect more questions including riders to the responses you provide.

Work on these...Peace!



thank you bro.. how can i work one on one with you? would really appreciate your assistance, i have out alot intothus application and i don't want to to just go within a twinkle of an eye.

Please I need help making a decision here.

I applied for student visa this August with Ashland university admission for my masters program, I was denied because of sevis-fee payment. I didn't even get to be interviewed properly.

A friend advised me to search for a new school because Ashland university has low acceptance at the embassy. I decided to forget reapplying immediately and search for a new school.

I applied to Arkansas university Little Rock but was denied admission just last weekend.

Please I want experienced heads here to help me decide on whether to defer my Ashland admission to this spring and go to the embassy with it again or keep looking for a new school.

Hello house, I am a new member here.

My visa was approved at the Abuja embassy yesterday pending an account verification. I just checked my status now and it says refused. I am 100% certain that the account is genuine because i went with my uncle to pick it up at the bank. I also got a mail with the normal refusal letter to go pick my passport at DHL.

Please could this be an error or i should i call the embassy for clarification. Please who has been in my shoes before.

Thank you.
