Good evening NLders,
I am honestly at a crossroad. I have a PhD admission (fully funded), and I have enough funds for living expenses for my dependents.

I am about to file for I-20. Please, do you advise I go alone first and request their own I-20 later or I should go ahead and do for all of us at once?

PLEASE I NEED PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCE TO GUIDE ME PLEASE!

I am particularly confused because I have been hearing sad stories about both options as well as good stories about them.

You can go with your spouse at the same time. How many dependents are you taking about? If have sufficient funds, it shouldn't be a problem.

Good morning. I trust we are doing great.

I am an incoming graduate student at the University of Delaware (Fall 2022). I have been trying to fill out the DS 160 form for the past three days now but I have encountered glitches that barely take me beyond the first registration page.

Please I want to confirm if anyone else is aware of this, and what can possibly be done about it.

Thank you.

Be calm. It is not uncommon to experience glitches when filling DS 160. Make sure have a strong network connection while on the site. If necessary, you can also change the browser you've been using.

Hi,

Hope you're doing fine.

If one's grad cord advised that one reach out to him for a Gra/TAship at a particular time, how do you think one should tailor the email?

Already drafted a captivating email. But your advice will go a long way towards achieving my goals.

Thanks.

There's no need to be overly perturbed.
Depending on your previous discussion, I'll advise you to be direct, lucid, and hit the nail on the head with respect to what your interest and passion are, as well as what you and can offer in his lab. You do not need to know the critical details of the work in the lab- The big picture should do.

Most likely, he has a GRA slot for you. So, portary yourself as someone who does not only have the fundamental requirement but strongly willing to learn. Also, let him know what you've been involved in, in the past. Do not forget to attach your CV and any supporting documents.

He might want to set up an interview with you,that should be a game changer.

Hello nairalanders,

I got an email that my appointment was cancelled in Abuja for Wednesday.What must have gone wrong?

Unless you tell us about your application process, that is, what you did and didn't do, we might not know what went wrong.

Please guys,,between GRE and WES evaluation of transcript ,which is best to send to school to consider me for funding?.

School requested that I send any of them before they can give me funding,I'm yet to get any of them.I can't do the two now ,so I'm contemplating on which best to go for?Thanks.

In this case, it is better you go for the WES evaluation option especially if you have a good or average GPA. It takes a shorter period of time to achieve this compared to doing excellently well In the GRE.

How do u answer this question from a Visa Officer ?

VO: How do you know about this School ?

I need answers please ??

Back!

Tell the VO how you got to know the school.

Basically, they want to see the hard work you put in in this phase. That is, how intentional you were.
