Debbss:
Hello guys, kindly DM if you would be resuming for Spring 2021 and you're yet to pay your SEVIS fee...... I'll transfer payment to your SEVIS account as my SEVIS fee would expire before I'm able to reapply for Visa against Fall semester.
Thank you!!!

Done

Lightning360:


Ok Thanks...... Which card did you use?

Mine was Zenith.

Yeah, same. Zenith too

Muleriders:


Good. You have a great Cgpa. Please follow these steps.

1. Try evaluating your transcript with WES to 4.0 scale.

2. Search on Google or usnews for schools that offer data science msc in the United States.

3. Check if the schools wave GRE or not.

4. Look for the scholarship or funding or Graduate assistance menu/application on the websites and check the requirements to see if you meet up. Some schools require separate application for funding while some Auto-decide based on your admission profile.

5. As an addition to option 4, you can further email the graduate or program coordinator to enquire about funding as few schools don't publish funding on thier websites.

All the best bro.

Thanks Sir. I will do as you said.

Please, do you have a WhatsApp group I can join?

Alhamdulillah, Glory and Praise be to no one except Allah, The Cherisher, The Provider and The Most-Merciful. I had my interview on morning (December 16) at the Abuja Embassy. Nothing much to say about but it's God's Mercy.

Here we go, my scheduled time was 8:30am but I couldn't do my interview till around after 9 due to long queue and some processes. I ordered a bolt cab and got to the embassy around 7:40am. I was still in the cab, trying to get water in the midst of those hustlers, they came to me trying to disturb with their words. I just told them I'm fine.

Getting to the embassy, I joined the outside queue, we did the first papers screening and asked to go inside. Getting inside, we did the biometrics test (One Black American verified my I20 and passport and a white woman did the biometric test. I thought she's the one to interview me, then I tried to calm myself down. She told me to meet the security), this time i saw the two VO (White man and Black American) attending to the interviewees, then joined the queue for the main deal. When my turn reached, the Black American rejected three people straight before me, I was clueless but only noticed he didn't spend much time with them, during this time the white man still having a good conversing interview with a very young girl going for her Bsc in sport area. I kept praying and tried to calm myself down. They called next, I went to the Black American. Alhamdulillah, It's God's Mercy.

School: Western Illinois University
Course: Quantiative Economics
GRE/GMAT: No
TOEFL: No
Scholarship: $2000
Deficits: $21,770
But There is always believe in the Almighty. Here we go again...

VO: Pass me your passport and I20
Me: I passed him the Passport, I20 and the Sevis Receipts. Then I greeted him, Good Morning Sir (he didn't answer perhaps he didn't hear. He just focused on the system. I also focused looking at him and kept praying)

VO: (After like 3 seconds on his system he asked) How did you hear about the school you're going to?
Me: After decided to study my Master degree in the United States, I did my research using some academic websites and I found about 5 schools that I met their requirements. I eventually applied to 2 (WIU and CSU)

VO: After typing for like 10seconds, he asked what do you do?
Me: I work as an Accountant a XYZ company, where I prepare the financial statements, audit the financial statements, give business advices and compute taxes. (Thats exactly what I filled in my DS-160 as work responsibility)

VO: Immediately he asked, since when have you been working with them?
Me: I started working with the company after my Professional exams since July 2019

VO: After typing for like 10 seconds, Are you married?
Me: No, I am single

VO: Have you ever travelled before?
Me: No, I have never

VO: After typing for like 20 seconds, Who is your sponsor?
Me: My Uncle, Mr XX, who is also my mentor is my sponsor (I kept praying and stay focused looking at him even though he didn't look at me for once apart from the first time)

VO: Straight up, he picked the white paper, add my Passport to the ones he had approved then said I will approve your Visa, then returned my documents and gave me the white paper.

No one did this but Allah

Congratulations. Prayed Allah makes your affairs easy (Amin).

Pls house I need clarification on pathway program. I observed 1 yr was written in the I-20 instead of 2yrs for the masters program.

Following the observation, the school was contacted but we were informed the duration of 1yr period is correct and new I-20 will be issued after 1st year.

Pls, what’s the implication on F1 Visa duration ? Is it that the student has to return after a year and do another F1 visa application and interview when new I-20 is issued.

Thanks

This is weird. For me, my I-20 showed 3 years instead of 2 years for a Masters program (MBA). I checked and I saw that other Masters have 3 years. I really don't know why it's not exactly 2 years.

Here is my transcript;
Dec 18th
Abuja
School: university of southern mississppi
PhD: in computer science, focus on cyber security (Digital forensics and detection)

I met with the black guy( he denied visas like water on that day shaa)

Good morning
VO: Good morning

VO: Pass ur passport and i-20
Vo: where is your husband
Me: he is here in Nigeria.

Vo: Who is funding your study abroad?
Me: my husband and my brother (as stated in my i-20)

Vo: What do them do
Me: My husband is a Businessman that owner’s real estate company here in Nigeria while my brother is a businessman. he imports transformers and other electrical accessories and distribute across the country.

Vo: have you traveled together with your kids
Me: I said no.

He handed me over the green paper.( The 214 B denial, based on whether or not the consular official feels that I will not return to Nigeria after you graduate by coming for the interview with my three children but I told him that my husband is in Nigeria doing his business)

Kindly correct me because i am reapplying and i am pretty sure my question will have to be on the strong tie , back in nigeria. i have decided to go with only my son who is 4years old, and left the two girls behind as part of my strong tie.

Good evening ma.

Please, I'll like to know the content of your green slip. I got a white slip which was still a denial. I'll like to know the difference please, what ever means (email, WhatsApp etc) you can show it with will be highly appreciated!

Thank you...

Hello, I'm new on this platform. I'll like some answers as regards where I can take my masters degree in Social Work and preferably where I can get full funding.

Sorry about the denial. Please kindly post your transcript so the house would help you evaluate.

Hoping someone with clear understanding of this can help on why different years on I-20 and its implications.

Hello house, l really enjoyed this thread.
I am intending to have my Master's in the United States preferably a master's course in supply chain management or certification and quality control
Pls do help recommend a cheap school I can apply to .
Thanks

bigfrancis21:


No you don’t need a Covid-19 test to leave Nigeria and the US doesn’t need a Covid-19 test for entry into the US from Nigeria. However any flights with a stop over in the UK might be an issue due to the new strand of the virus in the UK.

Thank you very much

Your F1 visa is not super important, its your I-94 that matters. Likely your I-94 will have the same duration as is indicated on your I-20. Which means you'll have to leave the US and re-enter after 1 year.

It is urgent pls. (1) Do delta airline require negative covid -19 test? (2) Anyone in Maryville, I need help concerning accommodation
Thank you

Delta doesn't require the test

reigningme:
It is urgent pls.
(1) Do delta airline require negative covid -19 test?
(2) Anyone in Maryville, I need help concerning accommodation

Thank you

Japsylee:


My advice will go to when booking an airline from the u.s.
Southwest airline will be clearly better for you cos they allow u two boxes while u pay for your luggage in delta and also it's cheaper if u book on time.

Okay thank you bro.

Highly unlikely ... . This cannot work any where in the world . It would cause chaos and disorganization.... To quarantine connecting flight people is almost logically impossible .....

Those quarantine rules kick in when you get to your final destination

Same view about him.

God's mercy, know your content, do not answer what he did not ask you, do not give long response but concise ones and filled with them your strong points ...

No one did this but Allah.

Tips: Please Pray Pray Pray and practice well before your interview, and Pray Pray Pray.
Know every details you filled in your DS-160 form even the dates. Do more practice.
Dress nice and comfortably, If you're going for any Management or business course or Law, pls make sure you dress like one of their students. Try to look at the VO eyes, if he/she looks at you back put on smiles pls (that white man likes that here in Abuja, that black American is good too, I think he assesses people psychologically).
If you are having your interview in Abuja here and perhaps still going to be interviewed my these two men, note this, the white man likes conversation pls make it easy for him with big smiles. And the black man like straight words please don't say what he didn't ask unless you know they are key words.

Fairheart, I DM you and you responded immediately like you do to others. May Almighty grant you more goodness and continue to bless you. You are always available to help even when you felt Ill. No, You are a Man brother, God bless you.

Benita, Strong woman. May Almighty stay with you always and bestow you His mercy. You are always there to help me. You put more effort even after getting your Visa approved a month ago. God bless you.

Thanks everyone. Sorry, it's coming late..[/quote]

There's no quarantine before proceeding to connecting flight, in NY.

Please do you know weather people landing in New York will quarantine themselves before proceeding to their connecting flight?

I worked and lived near Sf for a while and can comment on this.

SF is a really expensive city. People make six-figure salaries and still dread living in SF. But you may be able to live in Oakland surrounding cities and commute via train to SF.

PS: Rent is SF is astronomically expensive lol

niceadebola:
Hello house,
Please who schools in San Francisco or go there. I want to know how expensive the city in terms of accommodation.
