What are you talking about? I've never heard such balderdash in my life! People go for Masters in English all the time. I even know two personally that have switched to tech and landed internships at Facebook.

Big big congrats oooo!!!🤗

Hello all,

I have applied for Masters in English literature and i got a funded offer with full tuition waiver waiver. I read a comment on nairaland that the VO may not approve the visa because my country is an English speaking country and i am also fluent in English. I am a writer and I also work as a social media manager. Please should i be worried about this.

Congratulations

Alexaan:
Sorry this is coming late.

VO: Good morning, can I have your documents
ME: Good morning

VO: How are you today
Me: fine, thank you
VO: what is the name of the school?
ME: Houston community college

VO: why this school
ME: (I forgot everything I wanted to say and just ratted random facts about my application process and how I like their approach)
VO: who's your sponsor?

Me: my Father will be sponsoring me.

VO: what do your parents do?
Me: My dad is an engineer, my mum's a teacher

VO: (looks at the computer then turns to me with a questioning look) how long since you graduated high school?

Me: Four years, I graduated in 2019.

VO. What have you been doing?

Me: (told her)

V.O: okay, After your Associates degree, do you plan to get a Bachelor's?

Me: (I sighed deeply, My mind was completely blank and just muttered the first words I could think of)
I just want to get this degree first, after that I'll think of the Bachelor's.

V.O: (smiles broadly and looks back at the computer)

V.o have you been out of the country before

Me: Not at all.

She typed for a while then looked at me with a smile and brought out the white paper
V.O I'll be approving your visa...blah blah blah

Me: (Screaming Thank you Jesus in my head)
She kept my passport with her and handed me my documents and the white paper.

I went in telling myself "All is well" and all went well.
I've heard of alot of refusals based on community college and I just want to thank God for making my case different. Thank you to everyone on this platform, honestly you've all been of great help to me, God bless you all abundantly.

ACCREDITATION STARTS 15MIN.EARLIER

@2ND FLOOR,92 AWOLOWO WAY IKEJA,OPPOSITE MAN HOUSE BUILDING.

Congratulations on your offer!
Hope you know that F2 are not allowed to work legally.
You can ask your school for an estimated cost to bring a dependent and also, she is still your girlfriend and before she can be regarded as your dependent both of you must have been officially married.
You can go first and ask her to come later so that you can use her as a family tie.
Anyway, these are what I have read from previous threads. You can wait for the gurus to put you through

suleyoung:
Hello everyone,

I got an offer for a Ms in Global Affairs with full tuition scholarship plus stipends at the University of Notre Dame.

Can i go along with my spouse? We intend to get married in few months.

Also, how much should we budget to show as proof of funds as a dependent applying for F2 Visa?

Lastly, is it advisable for me to go first then she joins in few months time?

Sorry for my questions, I am a novice in this stuff and really want to avoid mistakes.


God bless you all

Thank you. I will search for the international admissions department on the school website

NightCyrax:
First, you have to understand that this is really a hectic time for most schools. This is the time they feel the heat and bug from aspirants and new admits alike. All the same, you can send a follow-up email by the new week. Be also sure to Cc the appropriate people who can help push your request; like your departmental secretary, Associate Dean and your grad coord.

Second, I hope your realize form i-20s are processed by the office of international services and not the grad school per se. I just wanted to be sure you aren't sending your e-mails to the wrong channel.

Third, some schools do not require that you send an e-mail at all. I know of a few schools where you do not submit your financial documents and passport page via e-mail. Rather, there is an online page you upload them to.

I hope you get a response soon.

Please I sent a mail since two weeks ago to a school regarding i20 but they have not responded and i have reached out to the graduate school coordinator too and he said he will reach out to them yet no response . Please should i be worried

Thank you so much for the update. Abuja no gree release date

Lovethchisom:
March 3rd, 10th and 31st available for appointment. Check your portal.

You don't need to respond to him. It's a new account

BigIyanga:
Find your boss… cos you sound too angry . Your wife or ex gf dumped you and japad??

You can research it and the link has been posted on this thread countless times. Just research on it

heavenisreal18:
Pls can you list some of the uni that accept HND for MSc

Okay. Thank you

BigIyanga:
Cos people stereotype the south as educationally disadvantaged .
MS regarded as a ‘3rd world’ state in the US in education but Naija folks dont care. Lol. US college degree is an equalizer…employers dont look at your school once you are qualified and capable of doing the job.

What are their reasons if you don't mind

Najdorf:
I have zero support from my family when it comes to southern schools lol. They dislike those southern states like anything.

I just applied there on my own volition. We'll see how it goes sha

Mail your grad coordinator to know if graduate assistanship is available

EarlMembo7:
I have been offered admission please how do I go about go about the part of funding?

Congratulations!!! So happy for you

Najdorf:
Heard back from some schools in the past few weeks. Got a full tuition scholarship from University of Southern Mississippi, Rejected from Lafayette, St. Olaf and Wooster. Waitlisted at Stetson(most likely due to applying rather late).

Still waiting on Brandeis and Case Western among others. We hope for better next month.

Check page 236 or 235 of this thread, chibertha dropped a link there and also, you can check 2016 of the usa student thread on nairaland. It is well loaded and it has answers to all your questions but you have to patiently read it. Best of luck

Latonal1:
someone help me on this

Thank you

mantics:
Get your admission and funding and head to any school in any location. It's when you have many options that you can decide not to go to a particular state. I don't know if you have many options, but if not, lots of Nigerians are in SDstate and even North Dakota. You can get internship anywhere, it's not a must you do it in same state your school is.

Thank you

Donbigi2:
Oh no. What I'm talking about is in terms of internships (I don't think Computer science student will enjoy the school cos tech companies aren't there. That's what I mean)

Please what can you say about South Dakota state university and also you mentioned that it is in the middle of nowhere, does it mean that it is not a place to live or the school environment is not good. I am asking because your response will help me to make my decision

Donbigi2:
No GRE Universities:

Lewis University - 845 dollars /credit

South Dakota State University - cheap but in middle of no where lol. Cold too

San Diego state university

Columbus state university

Western Illinois University - cheap

California state university long Beach - cheap but high cost of living. Also, All CSU universities are cheap, not just long Beach

I don't think so. If your application is showing ''under review'' that means it has been sent to the department but if your application is showing '' pending app fee'' that means they have not done anything on it. Just put your mind at rest and if you have the means you can still do one more school.

Gokoyer0:
@Sisib15, I hope I have not shot myself in the leg anyway. I just submitted the application straight away. I even emailed the departmental coordinator last week and she said they are reviewing all my application documents because she had passed them to the reviewing committee. I really hope she has not intentionally done me strong thing.

Lol, people apply to as many schools as possible, some 12, some 7 and some people apply to only one school at times. It all depends on you. I know someone who started their application in September and they got a lot of app fee waivers thereby he submitted 12applications to different schools and paid for 4 out of the 12.

Zihno:
I’m sorry about the rejections but How many programs Una apply to?

Please don't wait for app fee waiver at this time, if you can afford the app fee and you are sure you have a good profile, go ahead pay the app fee and submit

Gokoyer0:
@Zihno, i have not heard from all the three schools that I applied to also. One of them is still considering me for application fee waiver. I don't know if all this means that something positive will come up eventually. This waiting time can be frustrating.

You can submit your application without the statement of account, don't waste time on it

Najdorf:
This is completely normal. In fact what I've been busy with these past few days is financial docs.

Yes, I got one still waiting for two more to come with their funding decision.

DAramis:
Thanks for the concern, and sorry for yours. But at least you have gotten one with funding right? I think I came across your comment on it.

Yes you can. If you have been in conversation with the graduate school coordinator during your application you can ask for feedback

YoungWizard007:
Eyah ao sorry for that, God will do a better one


Out of curiosity, is it possible one mail the grad school to ask the reason or reasons for the rejection?

At least knowing that, we can always work towards that part

Make I just this one hold body first

Dreamsss:
My sister, I join my e-hands with yours in faith. God will do it.

I have only 4 Schools left that i am waiting for.The waiting period is not easy mehn

Dreamsss:
Eyaa..ndo..I wish you well. Thanks for the updates..
For me, it's the wait that is killing me..and the fear of the unknown. I don't know how you people manage. I feel I shouldn't do too much, when I can end up getting what I need from one of the many I have already done. But then, I'm just waiting for time to roll, so I can know what the future holds...but if the future flops..my own don be for this year be that... it's stressful.
