Just do these that I've written. Its how others have been doing it. Your own shouldn't be different.

1) Do not apply. That option should have applied more to you if you were Chinese, Arabian or Jewish where their languages have a totally different system of writing whereby your name will have the Chinese, Arabic or Hebraic form.

2) Put in the name of your school and their educational contact. Its what I did.

3) Yes should be your answer. EDO IS A TRIBE.

4) Regular.
I have a lil issue with this TRIBE thing on my DS-160. I picked no o, do I need to refill my DS-160? Or I can leave it like that?

Bro, thanks for your comment. I really appreciate. However, the document had been sent since the 4th of June and my interview is slated for 3rd July. Feeling really tensed that if I didn't get the package this week, then things may be somehow. I have called the NIPOST headquarters and they are still claiming not have received the document. It's about 2weeks now that the package was sent via express mail which should take at most 5days.
My guy NIPOST is very pathetic, my initial I-20 has been sent since April 5th, I till tomorrow I av not seen it. I had to order to another copy and used FEDEX might just be a good option for you, cos it took just 3 days

That is a big plus for you. No reasonable V.O would think you plan to leave your supposedly well paying job (an American company for that matter) to run to the USA and not come back home.
Thank you very much for the reply... I want to state here that I am not coming back to the job because my company is not giving me a study leave. I that I am really interested in lecturing and research when I come back. I hope telling the VO that I plan to resign before travelling will not raise another red flag

ApachaiHopachai:
I got into a PhD program as well...but when I went for my interview I wasn't doing anything directly connected to my PhD admit. When preparing for the interview...I didn't get any letter from my employer aside from my offer letter(and I wasn't even asked for that). About the home tie...you can relate your PhD program to an immediate want in Nigeria. For example...I would say I was going for a PhD in chemical and biomolecular engineering because I am interested in alternative energy research/ better energy utilization( as we all know power is a major issue in Nigeria).
Also you could say that you want to go into academia knowing fully well that there are lot of private universities spring up...and there is shortage of qualified people...blabla...you get the point...
Thanks so much @ApachaiHopachai, this piece of information will definitely help. Please, can you drop your contact so that we can talk more.

Hello pple in the house, I wanna say kudos to everybdy dt has made this thread as informative as it is. Please, I av a little ish I want the house to help me with. I got admitted into a PhD program with funding, but wit regards to this 'home tie' thing,I currently work wit a small company in which a doctoral decree might not be relevant when I come back to the country. But, I am really interested in lecturing. The problem now is shld I still get a letter from this company stating that am going on study leave, considering that I av spent less than one year with them. Or tell the VO outrightly that am resigning since PhD is nt going to be useful wit dem, and to come back and pick up a job as a lecturer and a researcher.
Please, all advice is welcomed wink
