TWoods isn’t bracelum if that’s what you’re inferring.

Who killed Awo, na Baba. If you add Ngida, na you sabi

sharwama:

You are not paying anyone or buying data for us here in Nigeria, so please don't ask for a swift response next time
Please read my approved visa transcript and see where the VO asked about the sponsor's name on my I-20. Perhaps you haven't taken out time to READ your I-20.
It is not just a 3-paged document, it is a legal document and whatever is written on it, binds. Why do you think there's a column for your signature and that of your DSO?
If you want to change your sponsor, simply request a new I-20.
Don't allow the devil to use your visa chances to play candy crush
I wish you lots of wisdom.

Lol. Am sorry, I'll sub for you soon�..
Thanks for your valuable response...

I have been contemplating a thought... Just as an account has been deleted, another has become increasingly active. Before now, I had vehemently refused to toe this line of inference. I am forced to do so at this time.
If you know, you know.

Style of writing is different..

One is a proud jjc that think he knows it all despite been a jjc .

The other Twood is Experience but thinks the worst of Nigerians. Can't blame him though, a lot of our people have issues

hustla:
Hi all, been a silent reader and I appreciate the good work that a lot of people have been doing

- please when is the best time to pay for Visa and Sevis fees and also pick a date for the interview?

Resumption is August 15

Please advise

Thank you

We have been reliably informed that SEVIS fee will increase by a little over 80% in a week time. The earlier you pay, the better. Paying your visa fees early, also gives you the added advantage of choosing a most convenient date. So, Yes! Go and pay up pronto.

fairheart:
My friend... Lols ! I know wetin you mean but it might not be as you think sha.

I think we should avoid unnecessary distractions and help ourselves achieve our dreams in every little way we can using this forum. My desire and goal for being here is to bring light, enlightenment, assistance, encouragement, and invigoration of hope in everyone my words are able to reach. Life is very, very short to be hard on another human being.

May I share that there are students here with highly complicated admission and visa cases than we have openly seen. They wants someone who will listen and empathize and guide them. I'm starting to imagine who these guys and ladies will will talk with if everyone here is Hitler.

Sorry, I just felt like sharing this under your comment.

Quite a thought! I agree with you in toto. Let's join hands to make this an e-home, where we could all conveniently return to "roost". I have learnt a great deal from the two usernames and indeed, this thread. Some 1year ago, I was a complete green horn, started on a very very poor note, but today, there has been a remarkable improvement on my person. Let me also add that those two usernames have earned my respect anytime, any day. I'll stop so far.

Good morning the whole house, pls I need you to select the school to apply for full funded scholarship in USA for civil engineering course for 2019 academic session. TOEFL 6.5
Degree : second class upper
Thanks
Pls it's urgent

Good morning ... I was denied yesterday, i want to ask if I can still get a date if I reapply , the school will resume by August 26

LagosismyHome:
Can't blame him though a lot of our people have issues

I share your thoughts here. I have had cause to discuss with some persons here in private, and I said that some Nigerians have a problem with high abuse rate and inability to "package" themselves in the public or in formal settings. You will see me write things like "read in between the lines and pick relevant tips as it applies to you". The vast majority here, simply lash out at Bracelum and TWoods, forgetting that there are sad truths those guys are passing on. The best a smart person could do is pick the silent messages and ignore the teaching methodology. I wish Dora is still alive to drum on her message of an improved Nigeria with a proper re-orientation. Indians are no better than us. They are as corrupt, or even more, yet they are largely given soft landing during visa interviews. How did we decay this far? Quite a sad rhetoric!

If you know, you know.

FYI

Twood is not Bracelum and Bracelum is not Twood. They are two different people. So, get it right

Sit down there and be contemplating a thought on someone else's issue.

If you know how busy that guy is and the level of his achievements, you wouldn't have thought that he would have the time or stoop himself so low to create different accounts on Nairaland all in the name of commenting on Nairaland issues.

Just sit there and keep contemplating a thought on someone while that person is busy contemplating a thought on how he will get to a higher position than where he is presently.

Someone that hardly even has time for himself now will have time for Nairaland.

SMH.............................

Don't bother quoting me because it will be a waste of time.

You could pass your message without attacking me personally. If you don't know how to talk in public, I may teach you a bitter lesson on communication ethics. You don't know jack about me, so how come you think that my stock in trade is contemplate another person. I don't wanna talk rude. Respect yourself!

Please any close date at Lagos embassy?

Basic info as in my i20 form
Admission: University of Oregon
Program: LLM in Peace studies and Conflict Resolution

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning

VO: pass me your I-20 and What course are you going for in the US

VO: Why did you choose this course?
Me: firstly, it aligns with my career goal, I want to be an expert in humanitarian law and conflict resolution via ADR and legal settlements other than adversarial litigations.
This program also appeals to my long term career goal as a peace policy expert and diplomatic peace negotiator, so this program will be a huge plus in my career goals of being diplomatic peace negotiator with a conscious bias in legal settlements via ADR mechanisms.

VO: Why did you choose the University of Oregon?

Me: I chose the University of Oregon because
Firstly, I get to acquire an LLM in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution and not an MA. Uoregon is amongst the few schools that have the whole department in law faculty dedicated to the study of this program, with others, you can only get a certificate, or few electives courses or at most an MA.
I am excited at the opportunity of working with Prof Dianne Baxter and Shaul Cohen, especially the former who is a world-renowned expert on the conflict resolution her treaties on Israeli-Palestinian conflict has always been topnotch. She is the Author of “From refugee to displaced citizen: The Evolving discourse of Palestinian Peace Making”; “Islamization and Westernization, the challenges of Gender traditions.”

Secondly, UOregon curriculum is intimate and intense, cos there is a Dispute Resolution Centre - which is integrated conflict management; mediation; legal settlement and security centre right in the heart of the law faculty.

Thirdly UOregon the program comes with optional internship paths in specialized research in sub-Saharan conflicts; Israeli-Palestinian conflicts; Northern Ireland conflicts; Collaborative governance and public policy studies and family mediation internship.
Also, UOregon offers multiple training in public policy, collaborative negotiations and consensus-building which is very exclusive to them.

VO: when did you graduate
Me: August 2014

VO: what have you been doing since graduation?
Me: immediately after my graduation I headed to the Nigeria Law School for a year’s program upon which after completion I was called to the Nigeria Bar in 2015. Afterwards, I enrolled for the compulsory NYSC scheme where I served with XYX …. A peace and dev NGO, I rounded up the scheme in 2016, after which I joined the law firm of XYZ till date.
In the last few years I have been appointed as a policy advisor to the Honourable minister for ……… to the Nigeria Government; Youth and peace advocate by the African Leadership Institute; Global Peace Ambassador by Global Peace Chain worldwide.
I also consult and volunteer for a number of international NGOs, African law foundation -where I serve as the coordinator for Northern Nigeria and African Centre for conflict..... Which I co-founded and currently serve as the Director.

VO: what do you plan to do after graduating from UOregon
Me: After my graduation, I plan to return back to Nigeria to resume my positions as a Director at African centre for conflict ………. ….. …and also work and apply to be a Partner in xyz law firm where I currently to work, I will also simultaneously seek appointments with AU and other relevant think tanks in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.

VO: how many schools did you apply too and name them
Me: 4 more schools Upenn, Pennstate, Indiana University and Uni of Birmingham in the UK.

VO: did you write any standardized test
Me: yes, I wrote IELTS, my score was 7.0

VO: Are you married
Me: No

VO: do you have any child
Me: No

VO: how will you be paying for your studies?
Me: I have a 50% LLM tuition scholarship and the remaining tuition plus my living expenses will be taken care of by the study scholarship I got from my uncle and mentors’ company. (I have a SOA with a balance over N70 M and a reference letter from the bank and the award letter from the company.)

VO: pass me the statement of account
He flipped through and returned

VO: Say no more, I will be approving your visa…. (….God willing)
Me: Thank you!!!

One thing you should know is, no V.O will like to override his colleagues decision without a tangible change in your story. He/she believe the first V.O that interviewed you did a good job. They also have seniors. Before they will overrule your previous refusal decision, something good must have changed. So next time, prepare a good answer on what have changed.

Good to know!
