Thank you!! This is really informative. I actually thought out of state fees are like other states within the US
It's is for both if you're resident in other states then typically you're subject to out of state fees.
Intl students also subject to out-of state fees.


Also if you get funding that says you have tuition waiver please check if that tuition waiver is for in state fees or out of state fees else ypu will still have a deficit

Hello everyone, can anyone please recommend universities that have low tuition fees? I want to apply for a Masters Program, but I don't know which state to focus on.

Also, is there any ongoing scholarship application at the moment?

Thank you.
You might just want to put
Universities with low tuition in your Google search.

Best to start with the course you want to study first then check for tuition fees. Just remember as an international student you are subject to our of state tuition fees. Secondly the school application will also estimate your living expenses

Scholarships and funding are specific to each school and you'll find that information from school website check for financial aid section or just email the department and ask for available funding.

Plenty current and past intl students also share their process on YouTube so search there. Type in the search bar and you will get recommendations

The pregnancy was real. I have evidences, but chose not to post. All pregnancy symptoms were visible. There was changes in her body system, shape and colour. Even up to appetite,smell, craving (I was buying cat fish pepper soup like mad). There was a time she was having sleepless time, will be on call with her late into the night.

Registered her for antenatal at a general hospital and also for native treatment for massaging of the stomach. The woman she registered with confirmed and is available to confirm that she was pregnant.

We visited my mum when the pregnancy was around 4/5 months in. My mum confirmed the pregnancy (my mum can spot a pregnant woman from far and she will be right).

I have enough legal ground and evidences to take up the pregnancy issue with her and her family. Even up to when she told me she was pregnant for me.

People that are calling me a SIMP might not be able to repeat that if we meet offline.
You are not a SIMP abeg.
I just think it's unlikely she was up to 7months that's all.

IId she really miscarried at 7months she won't be able to recover quickly to do an introduction ceremony

To abort a 7month pregnancy is to go under anesthesia and it's highly unlikely any hospital will want to run the risk of losing mother for that. In most countries 6months is a viable baby.

I do empathize with your loss of both the relationship and your baby. You are still grieving so I'd advise you seek professional counselors and stay off any relationship casual or otherwise for awhile.

wrong, it depends. I know someone that is pregnant now, she is slim and if she wear all this flowing gown, I swear u can't know she is pregnant. This particular person was still discussing with my sister that she hopes to give birth by july
And again you don't get what I'm saying
He said he S$X with her few days to the to the introduction and she was 7montha pregnant. Now she tells him she made mistake that she wasn't pregnant
The example you gave is someone in her 2nd trimester..that is different from him who thought is she was at 7months which is 3rd trimester. Most pregnancies are viable in 3rd trimester
Your sisters friend as you mentioned if she wears flowing how you won't know abi? That's because she's slim..if she doesn't wear such gowns you will know even at 1st and 2nd trimester.
There's is no abdominal fat covering the area for slim people so once the womb has a growing fetus then it will push out from the lower abdomen. Pregnancy stretches your lower abdominal muscles
The exceptions might be if the slim person has consistently exercises the abdominal muscles throughout sports, exercise or dance then the abdominal muscles will be taut and no fat. Those people can look like they just ate a meal and be 8months pregnant

Just stumbled upon the rumour that King Charles has pancreatic cancer. Hope its not true. But if true, I feel sad about it. My thoughts are with him.

Cancer is a b**ch but pancreatic ca is a different beast. Due to the location of the pancreas its many times only diagnosed late and for same reason, if not caught very early it's mostly not ammenable to active treatment. The dying process is also terrible characterised by intractable pain.
It's prostrate cancer

The pregnancy was real, the symptoms were there. She's a very slim girl so the pregnancy was not very obvious.

Secondly, the guy that did the introduction doesn't stay in the same state as her, so it was a long distance arrangement, possible why I didn't suspect it. But the symptoms were there. Why will someone not pregnant be attending antenatal, won't the nurses and doctors detect it? Aside from antenatal I registered her for a lady that does native medicine for pregnant women...that lady specializes in massaging the stomach making sure the baby was well positioned.
Bros it's even slim girls that pregnancy shows more. 7montha na haba. Majority of females I know are slim .

She probably lied to you about pregnancy and the time.
Anyways she's deceptive, e go meet her for front

You implied she was 7 moths pregnant or did you mean to say 7weeks?

If 7 months how can she use the excuse that she mistakenly thought she was pregnant but she wasn't especially since you claimed that you had sex with her just days before the Introduction?

Also if you regularly spoke to her aunt, why do you think the aunt did not inform you that the family did not approve of the marriage?
I thought I was the only one confuses about this 7month pregnancy.
How do you have sex with 7month pregnant woman days before her introduction and she says she want pregnant. Pregnant belle no dey hide when you remove cloth na

Read and understand before you reply. I already proposed marriage to her which she accepted and started meeting with her family long before the pregnancy came up.
There's a part of your story that is not clear

5months is difficult to hide. 7montha is almost impossible.
So if you saw her in your house just a few days in yo the said introduction . How wouldn't you know she is no longer pregnant? Unless you are not sure of what a 5month or 7month pregnancy looks like. Most doctors won't abort that late and recovery is not quick. How will her belly go down in a few days to do introduction

Thank you for highlighting this.
So, with 75k household income, and kids less than 10. One could get some shikini £ in child benefits?
Even if it’s £10 per week, that is the cost of a couple of pints of milk.

I no go mind. Anything that is ‘free’ go collect. This particular awoof no go ever run Belle. I have “over-invested” in this system abeg.
You should be able to get at least 150 per month . Using my siblings case as comparison

I agree

I just remembered during COVID when councils were scrambling to house homeless people temporarily in hotels and the like so as to reduce the spread. I imagine most are back on the streets now.

I think the key "benefit" of settled status is freedom from immigration control and being able to work anywhere, be self employed etc without any restrictions, and able to provide fully for one's self and family cos most state benefits are shikini in comparison
Se how Zahra started using shikini lol!!

I can't take a risk step because my life is in danger too.or should I post video of her clinic lab or the room she insert the sperm with her phone touch light or the living conditions of the Surrogates.

I'm not there to work as her Surrogate,I said I wants to work with Dr Ivy because she I trust.thanks
Whatever evidence you have please back it up on Google drive if you have a Gmail account.

Then leave Benin. Your safety first.

After you're are back safely in Lagos then you can change your number close whatever social media accounts you have then. Then you can share evidence you have with a blog or investigative journalist.
You can also tag Edo ministry of health.
For that regulator to come to he clinic then it means even the authorities are on to Dr A

Don't worry time will come and you will have the opportunity to share your evidence.
Just be patient.

Hi Guys. So my US Student Visa expired and I’m trying to do a drop shipping, but I want to do it without coming back to Nigeria. I want to ask if this is possible. Am I required to comeback to submit it myself and exit the US and re-enter with my renewed Visa? Or I can send my passport down to Nigeria and have it dropped on my behalf without any consequences?

I mean won’t my I-94 give me away that I didn’t leave the US?

Please I need genuine advice as I’m trying to avoid the cost and logistics of coming down to Nigeria, and also the wait till the visa is issued.

Thank you.
You don't need to go to Nigeria and you can not do dropbox
You can attend in person at US embassy closes to you in the US which would be Mexico or Canada. Book appointment on the US embassy site for either country. You would need to apply for a Canada visa to go to the Canada. That can be done by post then you go to Canada and attend interview.

Lastly note that as long as your in the US and are still in school then your F1 visa is still valid even though it has expired.
You only need to renew it if you have plans to travel out of the US if you don't it's fine.

Agreed, even legal immigrants struggle in places like France and Belgium and many are forced into the black market to survive.

UK and US are very different though. I think the US is one of the only places where an illegal immigrant can "thrive". They even have sanctuary states where they have the right to drive, go to school etc, working under the table is normalised to an extent and there are large communities e.g. Hispanics that provide safe havens

The UK is very regulated now - you have to provide identity and residency documents for pretty much everything. The only area that is easy for an illegal immigrant is enrolling their children into school because the government/courts have ruled that children should not be prevented from attending school, regardless of their immigration status.
Yep. In the US you can open a business buy property just pay your taxes.
Obviously there are some things you can't do but you can thrive.

Thank you. It really beggars belief.

Let's not forget that asylum accommodation tends to be of lower quality and in cheaper areas - very very unlikely to be London or even south east England. Asylum seekers cannot choose where they are put up and they can be moved by the home office at any time to a new part of the country where they don't know anyone. Even if the children have to change schools, you're on your own.

Many times it's shared accommodation such as hostels or a bed and breakfast. Many even have to share rooms with strangers. And this luxury is only while their application is being considered; as soon as it's decided on - accepted or refused - the claimants have to leave the asylum accommodation.
It was decades ago that ppl got more lush accomodations especially those with large families.

For under the table work I think those who have Asian families in the UK can probably still get good jobs that pay is decent. If a good number of their family members own their own businesses then that's easier for them not to be detected. My opinion though
