But in the other case, they don't ask to verify their statements, no?
If your visa is approved immediately no statements would be asked..but your case would be on AP for a little while (around 1 working day) on the ceac.gov site before it changes to issued. That's the standard process.

Oh OK
No stress then

Noticed that most of the ones who have been placed on AP are the ones whose parents aren't sponsors.

Relatives, uncles, aunties etc

My parents were to follow me to my school, but the earliest B1/B2 date they could book (after rescheduling from the one they got in October) was Sept 9 or so..and that was a month ago...book the earliest date you see then try rescheduling later...if you don't still get a date favorable to your trip then also try rescheduling the trip..there's nothing we can do bout that.

That's because they want to verify the aunthenticity of the financial statements..some applicants use fake statements and say it is owned by their uncle. Some use fake uncles instead.

Pls and pls i need all GRE materials for my forthcoming GRE exams. Kaplan would also be highly appreciated if anyone has. Thanks and God bless

Hello. I'll give you this firsthand information.
1. NEVER use Kaplan for GRE maths. It's a no no. Use Manhattan. Download the Manhattan quant series. Not the 10lbs book(past questions) o. The different books that concentrates on the 8 or 9 topics in GRE quant.
Work them, understand the questions and tricks.

After, there's a book like that, I've forgotten the name.. (You can pm me, I'll check it out for you). So, get the book and work the qstns.
I tell you, if you can do that, you are good to go for quant! You'll blast those questions��[/color][color=#770077]

For verbal, get, magrosh, and also watch the GRE Manhattan verbal. Watch the videos and practice a lot of questions.

If you can get Manhattan flash cards, that'll be perfect to sharpen your vocabs. Those cards are the best I tell you!! And the words are all over GRE verbal!

You're good to go!!
Pls, remember Manhattan is the best for quant oo! Don't use any other. I have them all, so I'm very sure of what I'm saying.
All the best.
Cheers.

First hand Experience I concur... Stay away from Kaplan... too simple and too soft. It will never simulate the GRE... if you have money subscribe for Magoosh and Manhattan. U can register with By mafit. They will give u Magoosh Log in details and Manhattan 5lb Pdf file... Download Magoosh flash card for verbal and complete the online simulations. Please stay away from Kaplan

You're late to the party. She's taken. You didn't expect her not to be taken by now. Did you? If yes, then you are more inexperienced in womanology than I had thought. Meet Idris Okuneye for his/her notesgrinsmileygrin

Until she’s legally taken before I can back out from the race... Until I see her change-of-name notice on New York Times, Wall Street journal and USA Today. This is not Child’s play.

Thanks guys for this platform. Almost frustrated now.
As it stands, I have GTA Position covering my tuition with monthly stipend and my uncle pays the rest.

I am in between decision whether or not to make my 3rd application. Be detailed with your thoughts/suggestions please, whether harshly or kindly provided it passes your message.

Brief:
1st application.
I first applied using SJU Spring 2019 and got denied. Here, no funding, my uncle (different surname) had a functional statement of account that I used. I think I was denied here because as part of my sponsor, I put a friend in the US (medical doctor for that matter) which weakened my ties to Nigeria (as I was told later on though)

2nd application.
Just 2days ago another denial. I answered all questions well as I often got responsive nodding of the Window 6 woman until I was asked why I changed schools from SJU (as in my previous application) to IUP (in my new application). I never expected that and all I could say was IUP gave a me a GTA as against no funding from SJU. Someone suggested to me to have talked about research and my concentration like that.

3rd application.
Do you think I should apply again?
If yes, what possible questions should I expect for a third time application?

Many thanks. Help me please, help!!!

NB: all interviews were in Abuja.

Yes, reapply. You don't want to waste the funding. Your reason for switching school is LEGIT, the VO wasn't just pleased. Can you give a run down of your finances? How much is your GTA? How much is left as deficit for your uncle to offset?
