Ricky Rozay: Why can't u take it one step at a Time..

First Step - Apply for admissions.

Then mail your admission application and essays to the school..

AFTER doing the above mentioned, then inform your US school by email that your high school will be sending your transcript and recommendations to them soon so they will be expecting it.

Also, make sure you correctly write your FULL Name in the email you sent them for easy identification and for them to locate your file and make remarks on pending documents which will be received soon @ their Office.

Do it that way, it is much better and organised in that manner. Because by doing so, they will start creating a file for you there and as soon as they receive your transcript and recommendation letters, they will add it up to your file which will make it much easier for em to locate and run your admission processing as fast and as efficient as possible without making things more complicated..

Regarding mailing of documents to schools in the US, the best method and most RELIABLE means of them all is by using FEDEX, UPS, DHL,TNT, EMS or any other Private courier to mail your admission package to the school which will get there within 4 working days..

But the only issue is the amount they charge for this service. Depending on the weight of the package, the least they charge ranges from 12k and above to send documents to the US.

DHL is the Most Expensive for Both Sending and Receiving.

But the cheapest of them all is EMS, they charge as low as 7k to send packages to the US depending on the weight of the package.

But another option you can use is NIPOST Registered mail, if you don't have much money on you. They are also Reliable for sending packages to the US but they are NOT Reliable for Receiving packages from the US to Nigeria.

I used Nipost Registered Mail to send my admission package to 3 schools in the US and I paid Just ONLY #700 for each package I sent, and all packages were received by my US schools in just 8 working days.

Some peeps here also used Nipost to send packages to the US and they don't encounter any troubles. Just Make sure you correctly write your US school's Full address..

Cheers.

imperiouxx: I didn't misunderstand your question, you're the one that stated your question wrongly. However, sorry for the whole misconception. Yes, you can do on campus job starting from your first semester if you are smart to get one.

lisadem: Correct but guess off campus during CPT or OPT

imperiouxx: Yes it's very possible if you like to be sent back home immediately you are caught.

mandybaby2007: Goodevening house, my interview date is drawing close(nextweek) abeg whats d dress sense at the embassy like? i wish to enquire if wearing my normal three piece suit with a tie is over dressing? I am a girl but i use ties a lot, may sound amusing but i dont feel comfortable when i dont knot a tie to work, i use them to work mon-thur, fri is dress down, dunno how serious a place the embassy is, can i use my tie or mak i find simple skirt suit buy?

Ricky Rozay: 25 year old is almost of the same range with those going for masters as well. But a 25 year old person can still stand a high chance of getting his/her visa if the person can prove to the VO by showing Strong Genuiness and willingness to study.

I am not talking of those students going for undergraduate studies between the ages of 26 to 29 and Won't bother taking any standarlized test and they will still expect Magic to happen at the Embassy. A BIG NO NO... RED FLAG!

So, Like for example, taking standarlized test like SAT or ACT and NOT just taking them for the sake of doing so but must try to perform brillantly well in them. The sky will be your limit if the person can do this.

The following age range is the perfect age for students wishing to study in the US;

UNDERGRÀDUATE:
AGE; 16 - 23

MASTERS:
AGE; 24 - 30.

Note: If any of your ages doesn't fall in between the above illustration and you intend going for any of the following listed above.

There is No cause for alarm. Just sit yourself down and work on how to build a strong profile. Which will sound good and acceptable to the VO which I have illustrated on my previous post. Then you should be good to go.

Cheers..

Ricky Rozay: See One thing you need to know is that, MOST VOs won't spell it out to your face the reason for your Denial. They can't even tell you it is because of your age. They will expect you to keep applying and wasting more money on Visa fees while they make more money on it.

But only the smart ones will code the reason for their denial through the VOs expression & Reaction to questions been answered.

Some peeps who were between the ages of 26 to 28 going for undergrad studies @ the US embassy last month. They narrated their experience to me. They said the VO just asked them three questions. Which were;

What is your name?.
What course are you going for?
How old are You?

After that, the next statement he heard from the VO was; Sorry, You do not qualify for a visa at this time, But you can re-apply..............

So you see it my bro. But everyone's case is different sha. But I still use it as a medium to learn New things and cover the loop holes so I don't repeat the same mistake they made twice and still get the same wrong result.

Although, Luck might shine on you. But I know veryy much well that your Age will raise a RED Flag @ the US Embassy, and you will see the way the VO will tackle you because they will be expecting you to go for Masters or P.H.D

So that's why I illustrated in my previous post, the things that needs to be done, that will enable you sound convincing enough to the VOs and give him/her a very good impression that you are a GENUINE student and promising one who is willing to study at any level and NOT an intending Immigrant who just wants to take advantage of the system to leave and work Permanently in the US.

Cheers bro.

kelvin50: Tankz ricky rozay nd d-tus @ ricky guys dat were denied were they told d reason for their denial waz their age or u js guessd so

9raCash: Got to the Embassy around 6am in my broda's car, did all the security check and went in for the verification of docs. I went with the scanned printed receipt of the money order my friend used in paying for d sevis. The man checked all d docs and tried to verify my sevis payment on his system but told me he my payment has not been uploaded online that I suld take a seat that he will call me soon. After some time he called and gave me a document that I should come back any monday or wed by 1pm as soon as I verify my payment online.... Still trusting God for the best. I know every disappointment leads to divine appointment. Peace!

imperiouxx: I see. No worries about transportation as cities usually have mass transits but rent, bills and other living expensive might be the issue.

Ricky Rozay: The school is a veryy good school. It is among the TOP universities in the US. But the only issue here is that they have a very Low acceptance rate. Their admission is competitive. So your friend must really worth is onions before applying to that school..

While applying to that school, Let him also consider averagely ranked schools with High acceptance rate, just for him to be on a safer side.

Cheers bro..

imperiouxx: Hmmmm, living in big cities is very costly o! Hope you guys know that? Don't reach there before you find my rede useful.
