Hello VO,

My wife is filling her DS-160 form. She plans to join me on F-2 dependent visa. We are confused on who the principal applicant is? Is she the principal applicant, since she will be the one going for the interview or me, the F-1 student?

Thanks.

Good morning AbujaNIV.

I want to renew my visa and they are giving me the option for Dropbox renewal. I've heard people say there isn't any more Dropbox visa renewal for Nigerians. Now, I'm confused. Would you advise me to do the Dropbox or just apply to visit the embassy? Thanks

@nastydamus, I just replied your pm. Sorry for my late response

Madison cold no get part 2 bro. I spent 2 weeks in there during winter break, temperature was fluctuating between +5 & -2 degree fahrenheit. I got back to Philly and it was averaging 45 around that period.

godG:
Midwest wey cold like say tomorrow no go dey.

Thanks, by bus (Greyhound).

imperiouxx:
Hi, I will definitely be at work then but I can help you with the easiest route. Are you coming by bus or flight?

Hello guys. I will be going to NY next week Monday to enroll in the BVN. Any one conversant with NY should please guide me on how I can get to #25 bond street, Brooklyn, NY from Philly. I don't wanna spend much on cabs cc Imperiouxx, others

HoneyBronzed:
You guys is PNC Bank a good bank? I can't deal with BOA mtce fee or 1500 av balance.

Sure, the bank is cool. I've used it for 12 months now without any issue. In fact, it has the highest no of branches and ATM in Pennsylvania. You will enjoy it most if your school is in PA, NJ or DE.

Hahahaha... Oga Slimmy05, it's not easy o. I remember taking Greyhound from Philly to Madison, WI. The whole journey was approximately 30 hours. We changed bus like 4 times. At some of their terminal, we waited for up to 2 hours. As per se the guy just dey enter states, e no go too make sense to embark on that journey by road.

slimmy05:
which kind forming be this? No be person dey enter bus go jigawa? Abeg we be Naija jor, take your bus and enjoy the site seeing

One course unit in my school costs $5816. I don't think there is a school with such a low tuition fee for a session! Cheapest will be about $15k

excatho:
I am not a doctor but my friend who is a doctor asked me the possible cheapest tuition fee for mph per year, Lille he asked if he can get like 5-7k tuition per year

Hmmm carrying passport everywhere you go. That's terrible. One can travel from East coast to West coast which is bigger than all those South East Asia without passport!

00francis:
OP make Malaysia no sue you oh...would have been nice for you to indemnify your self by saying some details are fictional.

Malaysia is like my second home after spend 5+ years there. And I believe I have seen it all.

Only issue I had with police was on a faithful morning when I drove out to an ATM near my condo in cheras without my passport, drivers license and the car I used had an expired road tax. I was pulled over close to my condo...the police about 7 searched my car and told me I was in trouble. I told them I had my passport at home and pointed to my condo and offered to call a friend to bring it for me and clear that I am legit. The officers declined and insisted I was going to be arrested. They finally asked me to bribe my way out which I obliged and I lived happily ever after.

I had all sorts of friends, locals, internationals, legal and illegal immigrants.

I have even reunited with some of my illegal friends that were deported...and your portrayed experience is a far cry from what is obtainable.

In summary if you have your money, you won't have problems there...maybe a few unorthodox measures here and there like carrying your passport around all the time, but quite frankly our brothers cast the place, too many niggas like OP trynna hustle caused that.

If you go for hustling, there is a 1% chance you'll make it in a legit way with no money...I had Nigerian classmates that are lecturers there now. The rest are keyboardists( if you know what I mean).

"The suspects, identified as Tessy Iyong, 34, sustained bullet wounds and several machete cuts, and Sesso Nyoaku, a panel beater and father of four. Both hail from Benue State".

smurfy:
For SS and SE of course.

There is nothing like improvement yet. I helped a friend pay his acceptance fee yesterday. The cost is $300. GTB debited #63,599.16 from my account approximately equivalent of $1.00 to #112.00. It's not just GTB cos I have a First Bank Visa card and the story is the same. It's really killing those of us studying abroad. Forget these story!!!

That's great slow and steady wins the race

FYI. Just got this email from my school's international office

Dear Students and Scholars,

Over the weekend of June 26 – 28, 2015, the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) will be applying updates to its SEVIS database. These updates will interrupt certain government services such as US visa applications; I-901 SEVIS fee payments; driver's license applications; and for those entering the US, expect delays at the port of entry.

University city. That will be great!

Where in Philly re u? I do visit often. I am due to visit soon. Maybe we could hook up.

slimmy05:
$10 once a month not a bad idea. It boils down to how you manage your cash.

Haircut here in Philadelphia is $20. I cut my hair twice per month. After few time visiting the saloon, I decided to give it a trial - doing it myself. Now, I do it perfectly

ebdib:
nice one bro. You're at UPenn(Ivy league impact factor)

Hi, ebdib. I intend to apply to Princeton for my PhD against 2016. I would like to come around your campus after our finals (mid May). I'm currently in my first year master's at upenn. Need some info from you. Sent you a pm.

It's very possible if you continuously monitor the application portal. Once you see an earlier date, reschedule ASAP. It worked for me. My appointment was earlier schedule for the 5th of August but I rescheduled it for July 22nd.
