@kidurbane

The update on my WES profile is that all documents received and they are reviewing. How about your degree certificate, have you found a solution to it?

SOJ2019:
Hi guys,

The institution I graduated from is currently on strike,hence,making it almost impossible to get recommendation letters for the final completion of my application.

For those who have experienced a similar situation,how did you go about it?

Pls,what is the way fforward as February 15th is the deadline for submission.

kidUrbane:


Hi @dipomania,
I sent the fax to them as you suggested yesterday and I’ve sent a couple today also. They haven’t acknowledged any as my dashboard still remains the same. Perhaps there’s something I’m doing wrong. I unticked the box that says send in high resolution and color. I got information from someone that they accept only copies that come in black. Can you please pm me with a screenshot of the fax you sent to them maybe I’ll be able to spot an error or two on the ones I’ve sent to them. You said they received it immediately and I suppose you were able to confirm that they’ve received it almost immediately on your dashboard.

kidUrbane:


@dipomania,
They’ve received it and status shows: in progress. Thanks bro.

dipomania070:


Ok bro. I sent you a pm already

GboyegaD:


Why not write or call the lecturers you intend getting recommendation letters from?

Flaame:
Wait,what exactly are you paying for?

I posted my transcript about F2 visa rejection in Lagos a couple of weeks ago. I decided to reapply immediately, and I was able to get a date in Abuja. The screening process was quite long and tedious compared to Lagos. Also, my baby was a bit restless, so I kept moving back and it took a while for my turn. This is the transcript of the interview as I can remember it;

VO: Good afternoon.

Me: Good afternoon Ma.

VO: Pass me your passport.

I gave her our passports and I-20s. She took her time to go through the I-20 and typed for a while.

VO: Where is husband studying?

Me: He is studying Molecular Biology in the University of ABC.

VO: How long have you been married?

Me: We have been married for 4 years it will be 5 years in a few months.

VO: How many children do you have?

Me: We have one child.

VO: Has he visited since he left?

Me: Yes, he visited us in August of last year.

VO: I can see that there is a shortfall in the living expenses on the I-20, how do you pay the rest?

Me: My husband has full funding and we have some personal savings.

She excused herself and left the cubicle with the passport and I-20 for about 5 minutes. While she was away, I was worried that maybe she was not convinced about the funding. Therefore, when she came back, I quickly said;

Me: I have the funding letter from his school here, would you like to see it?

VO: That wouldn’t be necessary (while smiling).

VO: Was he working before he left for the United States?

Me: He was working as a lecturer, and he is currently on study leave.

VO: Have you traveled before?

Me: No, I have not had a reason to travel.

VO: Do you or your husband have any relatives in the United States?

No: We don’t have any relatives in the U.S.



VO: I will be approving your visa. Please excuse me I need to get a document for you.

Me: Thank you Ma. (I few tears of joy rolled down from my eyes.)

She left and came back with a document containing instruction for student visa applicants stating that students are only allowed to enter U.S 30 days before the start of the program and not after the start date on the I-20. It also contains a reminder to take along and present I-20 at the port of entry.

I give all praises and thanks to Almighty Allah. I prayed fervently, did several mock interviews, and prepared written answers to likely questions. I big thank you to everyone on this thread. I learned a lot from here. By the way, I use full hijab that covers me from head to toe. I hope this will encourage and be useful for someone.

For university admissions, it's best to choose the course by course evaluation. Either you use WES icap or WES basic. The WES icap costs 205 USD (74k naira) and the WES basic costs 160 USD (58k naira). WES Icap ensures your records are saved with them and you can easily send the transcript to any other school at a later date. The WES basic doesn't offer this. Then there's cost for sealed envelope.

For shipping the evaluated documents to you, you could either choose 7 USD for standard delivery or 75USD for courier delivery. For the WES icap just budget 249USD (91K) to get a copy and to send to your school of choice.

Your transcript has to come directly from your school due to incidents of fraud. Plus you'd need to send your WAEC transcript from WAEC Office directly and waec scratch card.

Time2smile, I have a conviction that this is your wife. Enjoy your stay in US ma

aywhy93:


Thanks a lot for the explanation. I really appreciate! @The Bolded... Do I have to still send my WAEC transcript and scratch card even when I'm evaluating my BSc transcript for Masters admission ..?

LagosismyHome:


sorry to hear this , but people warned you about california miramar University. Please if you want to go back , kindly change that school

others might say i know x and y in that school but when............ It is not easy to get a visa so choose your school and your package wisely

ToluwalekeA:

biikeys:

Good morning guys...
Hope you all slept well?
Making moves to apply for admission into Masters Programme at US school for May classes... It is still early enough as regard to Embassy requirements for visa interview... Because a friend told me, usually prospective international student ought apply to Embassy atleast two months before commencement of classes...
How true is it?

JoeBazz:
University of Baltimore also waive application fee
