Hey 🤠

1. Now every one knows you are here because of me based on your last words and i knew your mission is to come and support @fearlessfang in the beginning.

2. Go away with your fake visa transcripts. It doesn't work for me . I have never flex muscle of travel histories. Its not a criterion for becoming a USA visa advisor or counselor.

3. I have worked as an apprentice under 3 different USA Visa Attorneys . I am still learning (correspondence program) Educational Psychology/Guidance and Counselling. I have worked personally as a travel agent (based on USA visa only) with offices for more than 15 years before i gave it up.

4. I am now an International Admission & Visa Consultant (Based on USA visa types alone). I am also a registered apprentice under a USA based Immigration Attorney. ** My plan is to become an American Immigration Attorney when i finally relocated .

5. Therefore , tell @fearlessfang, @Debieeeeeee and others of your click that my experiences is not based on having a USA visa or living inside USA.

6. I work online. With phones and laptops. I am constantly online because of businesses and courses. I have the time to use Nairaland as a training ground . Why are you counting the number of my responses?


Best Wishes 🙏

Good evening great people,

Please I need your kind input in this issue as the matter is more than me.

Someone called me and needed my advise and I do not have an idea on how to start advising the person.

So she said that her school emailed her about a meeting earlier today . I think the email came last week or so.

So when she joined the meeting today, she said they told her that GRE wrote to them(the school) and stated that they are declining the GRE result given to her, reason being that her image Abi her picture is not consistent.

So at this point , I became confused , I asked if she has any issue with GRE prior to now but she opened up and told me that she paid one agent in Nigeria to assist her write the GRE and her score was so high . The GRE result is authentic but was not written by her.

Also this GRE was done to see if she can get scholarship but she didn’t get the scholarship from the school as at the time she enrolled , probably because the fund has finished or something. This GRE was written for her in 2021 and she entered America last year fall. This spring is still her 2nd semester.

While she was still explaining this to me, a mail notification came to her phone and she checked the mail. The mail stated that the school has told her that she is no longer needed in program.

Please any advise for her. She acknowledged that she didn’t do well and has requested I give her my sincere advise . Should she start looking for another school ? Will she affect her record/sevis? Does anyone know anyone that had encountered similar issue in the past ?

My own may 9 is available in abuja

May dates is available in abuja.

I don't think that's a problem. Since its a phd program, i will advise you go with your wife and all your kids for the visa interview and aside frtom your funding, explain how you will cater for them too. Another important thing is that they coming by themselves later on may be tricky and not feasible.So go withyour family. And try to get an earlier date so that if it doesn't work you alone can now go for the interview.

Hello,

Please I need your sincere advice on my case. I'm a newly admitted PhD student. I've 100% funding and Assistantship. On my New Student Information Form (the form is to be used to generate my i-20), I've an excess of $9564 of funding. Meanwhile, POF per dependant for my school is $7k. I've the opportunity to use my excess funding to sponsor a dependant and I'm thinking of including my wife as a dependant on F2 visa.

My fear, however is that I've three children and a foster daughter. They are not going with us, atleast for now.

My Question: Will my situation be favourable given that my children will be back home? I need your inputs and sincere opinions. Thank you.

Honestly, I have quoted like 4 people requesting for his email and his responses are always automated. Like he'son his computer waiting for clients on nairaland

fearlessfang:
Tunji, you are fond of telling people sending you emails privately. You need to cut it out. That’s a very suspicious behavior. Why do they need to message you? What stops them from communicating here? @justwise

Oh,it kinda of expensive and they usuallydon'thave funding like that

chaiks:
San Diego state university. I don't know my deficit yet. I have sent them my official transcript. Hoping to get the formal offer letter detailing all financial awards and deficits.

Can someone please tell me why this? I am trying to search for date but this is what it has been showing me.

Which of the SDSU, is it southdakotastateuniversity? And what is your deficit

chaiks:
Just got admitted to SDSU. They are offering me 3500 USD scholarship, masters research fund amounting to 10k USD annually, nomination for presidential scholarship which would provide a non-resident tuition waiver for five semesters and then possibilities of other work appointments. I am now in the process of sending my official transcripts. What should I do guys?

It's depends on how your school process transcript. They can send it to WES through UPS. You should go there and talk to your principal that's the only way I know

Ellskc:


Thank you 🙏
So it is my school what will mail the physical copy of both my waec and highschool transcript to Wes?
Or it is electronically?
What if I’m not able to get in contact with my school?

For the WES evaluation, You will create an account with WES and then input your academic details, you will select WES ICAP evaluation and also choose US academicevaluation .After that you will need to pay the WES fee of about 217 dollars or so you can check on the website to confirm. This is the trick i used when i was in Nigeria, i dont have the money to pay yet, so i created the account ,fill in my academicdetails (my two results) in your case it will be WAEC or high school.so i thenproceed to use western union as a means of payment (which i don't have the money ) I clicked on the western union thing and I was able to generate an ID .It is this ID i sent to my schools in Nigeria that they use to sent my result to WES.
What I am saying is that you need to generateWES ID which you will take to your high school so they can send your result to WES .

For the third question, i don't know the session you are applying for. If it's fall i will suggest your start your application before march because most schools with funding would have rolled out admissions and funding before you even finish applying .you might be lucky to get admitted but funding might be difficult because you are applying late .If your application is for spring, you are good to go but funding opportunities in spring is limited.
For the third question, the cost of your tuition will determine the amount that you need to present to get your I20. If your aunty will be sponsoring be ready to prove to the VO why you aunty will be spending such a huge amount of money on you when you parents are alive. I hope this helps and if you need any information. Quote me

Please anyone 🙏 I really need some assistance on this

I willlike to ask about the teaching license, is it compulsoryto be a citizen before you can write the exams

molybdenum0012:


It's not been easy, got two interviews same week for same role, health physicist/radiological health specialist.

The first interview went well as they only asked non-technical questions such as tell us about yourself as someone rightly suggested. I got the offer. But it's in another State, which means I will have to relocate to accept the offer. The pay is a little below 50k/annum. So, I feels it does not worth relocating for so I declined it.


The second interview included technical and non technical questions. I did not prepare for the technical questions even though I managed to answer 2 questions correctly out of 5. For the non technical questions I answered all correctly.

So, right now I don't know if they will offer me the job 'cos obviously I failed the technical questions aspect. I will just give them 2 weeks, if I did not hear from them I move on.

I am also considering teaching in the high school, so already I have rewritten the license exam which I passed and I have like two interviews in the weeks to come.


This is my 7th month here it has not been easy looking for job at all. I can't even count the number of applications I have sent out already with plenty regret emails.

I am only working remotely with a non profit organization for now, and they only give me 20 hours per week of work. You can imagine how small the pay is. If nothing sup by next month, I might just get a small car to use as Uber in addition to my part time job.

Were you able to get a response

Godsfahvour:


Hi,
Sorry to bother you. Please can you assist with required documents for one applying from USA (student) to Canada for VV.

You can email documents too if you don’t mind: godsfavourugokwe@gmail.com

Hi,
I would like to apply for Canada tourist visa from USA. Please how can I go about it

I have forgotten how this is done but i think he needs to wait for 5 days and if he doesn'tget a responsehe can call CGI

Eke40seven:
Apologies if these questions have been answered already; I could not find answers through my search.

Q: A friend got an F1 visa for a PhD (sponsored) but not in Nigeria. His family are still in Nigeria. He booked an appointment on behalf of his family, but he received a message saying they would contact them via email.
Please, how long does it take before one receives this email from the embassy? How soon can the family get the appointment?
I look forward to your answers

I don'tlike discouraging peoplebecausei believe everyone'sjourney is different and you may not know the outcomeof your situation unless you try.
Funding makes the F1 Journey easier in all its ways and you can also get Visa without funding but it all depends on how you play your card and prove to the VO

idirect:

Unrelated but I did appreciate expert opinions on this please.
What can influence the decision for someone to apply for visa with his/her family (partner and kid)? Is it when you have funding? Enough personal/family fund? What will be the home tie in this situation please?

All of you can go for the interview but it based on 50/50 without funding but if there is funding it will make the interview easier. For your case,the 1500 funding is too small. You don't need to pay all at once before going to school but you need to prove to the VO that you can capable of taking care of all the financial expenses including living expenses and others

Khodry:
Please house anybody with information about UF. My wife was given Msc admission with partial scholarship of $1500 dollars per semester for 3semester for fall 2024. Can we go together and our kid and if possible how is the expenses? From what I see in the site tuition is about $13000 and other expenses accrue to about $30000 are we to pay all or some will be in block account? and the Visa processing how is it?
Please it is urgent

Lol.Visa mock People will just be giving nonsense advice up and down. If you admission comes with funding please stick with it

idirect:
Hello people,
Please, I need help. I'm pretty confused right now. I attended a mock interview and the information I got is not encouraging at all.
So, I have my first degree in Business Administration and I have been working as a non-academic staff in a high institution for about seven years now.
I applied for Msc Higher Education Administration in about three schools, Student Affairs Administration in one school and Postsecondary school administration and student affairs in another school. I'm optimistic that I will get at least admission with partial funding in one these schools.
The issue is here is that, I was informed by the guys who anchored the mock interview that I should not go to the embassy with an admission that is not related to my first degree. He added that the course I applied for is not even useful in my home country.He advised that I should apply for MBA or something close my first degree. I really don't know what to do at this point please

You should have done your investigationbefore giving him money.

Honiejenny:



You guys be careful with this guy. I am working with him presently and I will not say much because I am taking this case to the police on Monday morning. I also have his account details which I will also report. But this issue is till on going. When I get to the root of this matter. I will come online to talk about my experience with NewBoyKhashoggi. And if he rectifies his mistakes then I will still come online and clear the air. I will keep everyone updated.

He said he was married before and maybe there are some things the OP did that he did wrong that he doesnot want to share

tensazangetsu20:


You aren't meeting enough women. I have met a lot of amazing christian american women and I am not even in the US.

Thank you!
I will look into it

Taal17:

Look at research work attached to Universities, they get funding opportunities and can give sponsorships
Also look at us based organisations and consultancies that do international development work. Most of these are in the East coast e.g IIE
Look into test development in say literacy

Civil service sector always needs teachers you can see their job openings or at least find out what you need to work as a teacher eg certs and see opportunities.

Just have your strategy of places/ organisations to target so you track opportunities open to you.

I am currently in the US doing my masters but I am scared of job opportunities for my course(rhetoric and Composition) and PR route .Many people are suggesting that I should switch to nursing as that one has more benefits than my course. I am confused on what to do

I think the basics is ; introduction, body and conclusion as we were taught.
Also make sure , each paragraph conveys an idea i.e ( if you are writing about 3 ideas , you will have a paragraph for introduction, 3 paragraph for the ideas (body) and a last paragraph for conclusion).

For the sentence structure, start with the main point (the first 2/3 sentences in the paragraph), so the readers know exactly what you’re writing about without having to read everything. Then the remaining sentences can be used to explain the first sentences.

Also re-read to ensure there is a logical flow in your words.

I don’t know if this helps and there are different types of writing (e.g a thesis and dissertation will be different, I assume that’s not what you need help with but assignments in class)

A tip : I always make my introductions catchy , so the reader has no option than to be intrigued. Though there is a school of thought that believes catchy introductions are cliches.

We use MLA.I haveproblem with structureand organization in writing

Rachie83:
Hello everyone, it's nice to come across this thread. I remember around 2916/17 I used to read on thread like this while I was in Nigeria hoping to find myself in the US someday but exactly end of 2017 I got in with my hubby. Anyway to those who still contemplating of coming to US do not give up your dream although US is very hard to get in now but some people are still coming in. US is a land of opportunities with less cost of living compare to Canada and UK although it depends on the State you are. If you are a new immigrant midwest states are the best for you(Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Iowa, part of Illinois,
Missouri etc) interm of settling in on time because the cost of living is cheaper and a lot of job opportunities for new Comer although the cold is much during the winter. I would not advise new comers with no legal status to stay in Atlanta, Texas, California, Florida etc Atlanta Georgia is out of the pictures because the state pays lower and some bills are higher eg Auto insurance is ×3 of that of Indiana. Texas is not expensive but no immigrants job(if you understand what I mean) California is generally expensive. We landed in Indiana which really helped us to get settled on time but we chose to explore and we moved to Atlanta but that was a mistake and we are planning to relocate back to Indiana.

I am here to give one or two input when it comes to issues here in the US.

There is space for everyone in the US.However do your research and homework very well before jumping into f1. If you don't have sponsors, apply to cheaper schools. If you can get funding ,please strive for that too .All in all ,do your homework so that you can get it right.
