Nemesis83: Who the heck is this scumbag? Are you blind are just plain stup!d? did you not read this

Nemesis83: Dude, whoever comes on here and takes my word to the bank, does it at his/her own peril...... its your freaking job to go research about stuffs like this........ Its you who dream of coming here to live the American dream......if you cant take time and get information from the appropriate source, that is your funeral!!

waledudu: 7 working days.. Try track it on d internet. www.emsng.com or www.usps.com

Amefrica: Una don personalise this thread ooo. Nor be everybody be 'bro'.

godG: Ermm...sir, tell that 'ur friend' to chk this out:
Bold 1: really, d cgpa is low, but u never can tell. After WES conversion, pray it falls between 2.5/4. The implication of this is that he might need to look for schools that accept a cgpa of 2.5 for admission.

Bold 2: I think that would be better. He's got no choice. +Ur friend should just forget about top notch schools o.

Bold 3: no one will do that for u sir, tell him to embrace google. www.usnews.com can help u on that. Afterwards, he should get a good SOP, brilliant LOR, then shoot! GA/TA depends on those most times.

On the whole, since he is 'ur friend', tell him to join this thread himself. Don't give him fish, teach him how to fish sir. Possibilities lie in being active. Let him put patience and vigour in his quest. He will be fine.

souleymon: Your statistics about an average earner in America is wrong madam.

what's the most common job in America and how many are employed full time with insurance benefit.

kunlebal: What about staff I'd card

kunlebal: Got some questions for you bro, are you going for Bsc or Msc, change some things like what n what. Adding work experience is very important but if you are adding work experience make sure you have your appointment letter, I'd card, pay slip n if possible study leave letter with you. Kindly answer the questions.

godG: I find it hard to avoid hitting 'like' whenever Bigfrancis and Oga Imperiouxx make a post.
Love beings. Despite tight schedules, we never get tired. This house on the whole is an archetype of love in it's heavenly sense. Loving people. I still cant imagine someone offering to accommodate you despite the fact that u have never met before! Love in it's superlative sense. May we always walk tall. When we need the help of man, nations will rise to our aid. God bless us all.

bigfrancis21: Thanks Tochi. How you doing?

bigfrancis21: Success, bro. Your score isn't too bad, per se. If getting an assistantship is your greatest need, you might want to apply to less competitive schools. That way you stand a better chance of landing an admission + graduate assistantship.

Must it be a TA? How about RA? To land a research assistantship, you'll need to contact professors with similar research interests with you. Its a tactical game. Don't express your intent to be an RA in your first email or call to him. Many profs regard that as standoffish and that you're only interested in the financial benefits of it. Start first by talking about how you read several of his research works, how you liked it and how you can help him improve on some areas of it which you think needs a little touch up. Ehen! That shows a serious student, not some financial benefit hooker. He'll definitely reply you, appreciating your appraisals and asking you further questions concerning his research papers.
Of course, you'll need to do your own homework by downloading his research papers and reading them thoroughly to get acquainted with them. If there's space on his team, he'll definitely employ you.

If you wish to rewrite the GRE, I wish you utmost success. Cheers.

imperiouxx: @Tochium,

Those are nice schools. Got University of Rochester on radar but it seems it's easy to get BS and MS than PhD

Tochium: University of Rochester, University of Bridgeport, Southwest Minnesota
State University (SMSU).

Hello everyone, is there anything wrong with the above mentioned universities? Does anybody kw anything about them? I wish to apply to them because Utah State Uni is fucking me up so I want to apply to the above mentioned schs.

justwise: Next time show some respect to people visiting this thread and make your comments in English language.

Amefrica: Hi house! I'm admitted to a University in Minnesota to study political science starting Spring '14..

My questions are: Can i get a job on H1B after graduation ?
Who can file for me ?

Thanks!

babyosisi: That is one area in high demand
Americans are not meeting up with that demand that was why agencies were recruiting from Africa,the Caribbean and the Philippines
The healthcare field is a vast market and the best paid comparatively so it is a good place for an immigrant to go into and make a decent living.
Don't take my word for it,check it out yourself.

Amefrica: Anyways! That's how I did mine.. I didnt care how many students they want..

I met and exceeded their requirements, i was admitted.. Simple!

Amefrica: Send me a PM..

Walspring: get yourself a school of your choice by going to usnews. com and dont use an agent to get yourself school what of if school agent get for u is not ur choice or u dont like the life style when u get there?
Well agent will want to get u a school dat is cheap and i pray he wont get u CC school. I advise u to search for school urself.
As for the exam well i understoond why which might be ur ability sha but just be wise and as our justwise here who does not like ppl mentioning agents names here.
Lastly people here can get u list and names of school for free if you need help on that, all u need to do is to ask what u want.

Ricky Rozay: YES exactly, that's the Point! You need to tell the VOs what they need to hear...

Even when you come clean in most cases and say the truth and the truth you told doesn't still make rythms and senses to the VO's ears, your application will still be DENIED! Painful truth!.

So tell em what they need to hear and You need to Package yourself Well Well before heading to the US embassy....

See you need to be sharp on that day of the Interview.. The VOs are very smart, and they can detect if you lying, through eye contact, Body Language and Unnecessary Stammering to questions being asked.

These people are trained psycologist you dealing with, but you need to demonstrate to em you are Much smarter... You be 9ja boy. No fear.. God pass em...

As US student Visa applicant, you need to learn how to think very fast! That's very important! Becos these VOs can ask you a question more than ONCE when they suspect something fishy or suspect you might be telling lies and they will want to NAIL you down so they will believe you must have forgotten what you have said to em innitially.

You know when you lie, you will need a thousand lies to cover up the lies you have told.. And most lies people tell might be forgotten.. But TRUTH will Never be Forgotten.

So pls once Again, Be Smart and Learn how to think fast on that Day..

I know why I'm saying this, it happened to me on the day of my Interview.. The VO asked me some questions more than once in different question formats and she was PRETENDING like as if she didn't remember what she previously asked me and the reply I gave her, thinking I was going to change my stance after asking me the same question the 2nd time but I still stood by my words and said exactly the same thing as I filled on my DS 160 form.. No Shaking!!!!

Consistency is another Major factor involving US Visa applications..

See what you will do, AFTER filling your DS 160 form, the day you submit the form, Pls do MAKE SURE you PRINT-OUT the whole application you filled so you can go home and practice and prepare with what you filled, so you don't Forget anything on that Day..

Have your Filled DS 160 form on your Finger tips after submitting it.. That's very important..

Regarding the Employment letter, Since you are telling the VO you were once employed, you still need to take a document to back-up this claim just incase the VO demand to see proof so you don't go there and be looking like a LEARNER....

But they hardly request for documents.. But you still need to get a Letter of Employment from the company you claim you worked for and let em type it on the company's Letter-headed paper and let them Back-date the Letter as well so you can be on a safer side.. You need to prepare for the Unexpected.. So you DON'T give the VOs any slight reason to DENY you..

For example, you were employed in the company on the 15th of March 2010. Let the Letter of Employment be dated on the 15th of March 2010..

Please Once again, Be smart on that day and MOST importantly learn how to think fast..

If you do all this things, I see you coming home with your US student Visa by fire by Force..

Success bro..

obotubong: bro it isnt complicated, what i meant is dat my dad is in the US and he is a permanent resident ( been there for 20yrs) but dont no if he is a citizen yet, he is in connecticut. but connecticut isn't the state my school is located it is in texas. wat i want to know is dat do i include in my ds160 that my dad is in the states? there is a place i can tick if my dad is in the states but cos my initial plan was to claim he is dead and that is why my uncle is sponsoring me so i am confused. pls i need advice

obotubong: please i deferred my admission and was given a new sevis 1-20, when filling mt ds160 do i put the new sevis num or the 1st sevis num which i used to pay for my sevis fees

babyosisi: I have never been to Pasadena TX but I do know that it is not too far away from Houston
I know a lady that studied nursing at San jacinto College and made the drive daily and back from Houston

" goes to google"

It's only 16 miles from Houston they say ,so you won't be far from a big city should you decide to live there
Houston is quite large so the 16 miles would depend on what part of Houston.
You will find all the conveniences of a large city there also
Texas generally has no reliable public transport so you need a car to get around.

After San jacinto College you may now want to transfer to a 4 year college and get your bachelors

Like I told people earlier,the easiest jobs for an immigrant to get are in the medical field,I will be frank with you
That is where the most demand is
That doesn't mean it's impossible to get jobs in other areas
