Huge Congratulations!!!

Please are you siblings PRs in the US?
What were your responses to the VO’s question about them. Thank you



Yes. I told him their locations. I also mentioned some of what they do. I only told him what I know and in some cases. I told him I don't know

Seasons greetings guys.
I just joined this thread and I am happy with the abundance of help available. I have been busy reading transcripts and learnt a lot.

Pls, I don't know much about US so Pls can anyone give me pointers on Universities that offer masters/ PhD in law so i can do the research on the school.
I have checked a few i saw here but no law. Unis of Alabama, Houston, Clarkson etc.

I work as a prosecutor, undergraduate in Law 3.67/5. Want to apply for masters.
Will be self funding if I can afford it.

From what I have read I don't need to write GRE but do I need Toefl/Ielts.
What schools are cheap and can I get full funding? Do I need to apply for the funding or its automatic.

Thanks guys.

Please if your Visa was approved last week in Abuja and you selected Lagos as to where to pick up your passport, How many days did it take them to send you a mail to pick up your passport? Mine has taken more than 5 working days, today makes it 6 days I don't even know what is causing the delay. I tried tracking the passport they are still telling me the passport is still with the Embassy. Who will I contact or is it normal to take this long for transfer from Abuja to Lagos even after the VO telling me 5 working days.

If you login to the ustraveldoc portal or https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-passportretrieve.asp

You'll see ur passport status

Please call this number. They have an outstanding record of less than 24 hours TAT
Taal17:

Nope
Only PCR test is valid for travel and they take 48-72hours turnover time.
Private labs like Synlab and CliniX do it. Google their locations.

If it's the rapid test then it's results are not reliable but can be gotten in a few hours, these are only useful if you are sure you're exposed and want to start treatment and isolation. You would still need PCR test to confirm.

Visa approved
23rd December
Abuja
Northwest Missouri

I have been a silent reader. God bless everyone for all your wonderful contributions on this great platform.

I was interviewed by a white guy. If you can remember me I was putting on grey blazer, sky blue shirt.

Me: Good morning
Vo: Good morning

Me: Happy holiday
VO: O happy holiday. ( he appreciated it)

After the normal biometric

VO: what are you going to the US to do?
Me;master in computer and information sciences( according to I-20) In Northwest Missouri state Uni ( I can't remember if I mentioned the school)

VO: what will this program do for you?
Me: it will enable me to take up a top management position in my workplace( bleep uni). It will deepen and broaden my knowledge to scale up my registered business. mentioned the name. I also added that 2 centers of excellence ( mentioned the full name, I think it caught his attention and I began to bombard him with somethings) in my workplace deal with data and I want to play a big role in those centres ( said some other things )

Vo: Have travelled out of the country?
Me: No

I believe he was looking at the system and asked me whether the degree was obtained from UK.

I received the Technician diploma in Nigeria

Vo: How did you know about the school
Me: During our research fair in my workplace. I had a conversation with a nonprofit research institute from Germany (named). Also my sponsor Dr ****who has been to US several times for conferences ...*"""

Vo: I can see you have a personal fund ? looking at my I-20( Some think like) How are you going to get the money

Me: I took a loan from...and I have a letter( wanted to show him)

Vo: from the school
Me : yes

He also asked me about my sponsor
Me; Dr **** a senior **" .He owns his own consulting company and a car dealer

Vo: a medical doc.
me; academic doc
Vo: Do you have somebody In US....( Cant remember exactly). Looking at the system.

Me: Yes. 2 sibling s

Vo: How did they travel. What are they doing . Where they are living..( He asked the questions separately)
Me: ( I told him what I know)

Vo : Where did you say you are working
Me; *****Uni

That was it . I heard nothing again when he began to tag my passport and gave me the white paper.
Honestly he was saying something but I was just nodding my head like agama lizard

Thank you to him and then exit with full force. I was saying hank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus

so sorry if it is not well articulated.

Favour found me honestly. It was just the grace of God.

Pls put God into the equation. God bless you.

Just be confident and be truthful. Thank you



Congratulations.
i will like to know if one can take a loan for the COA.

Can you have admission before Jamb exam.... that something similar to what you are asking. Makes no sense in a typical sequence ....... covid has brought some changes so you need to check what your targeted school policy is

As for validity. A lot of information is easily confirmed on google or official site. Try to start doing detailed research online and you find the answers . That way you get more accurate information than word of mouth

Per college board, SAT test is valid for up to 5 years

I am not sure I understand your question correctly but lemme assume you are interested in community colleges. One thing I know for a fact is that international student that get admitted to community colleges in the USA always find it difficult convincing the Visa Officer to issue there Visa. I mean it is Challenging to get Student Visa with community college admission.

You can ask the airline you are travelling with and also confirm from your arrival state. I have read on this forum about people saying it is not required but you should also confirm this.
