Nice analysis....

If you think education is expensive......try ignorance..

Despite all the paper certificates, the Nigerian "graduate" is just on average quite ignorant about the world around him.

slimmy2005:
Your sole purpose of leaving Nigeria with an F-1 was to immigrate nigga. Stop acting like a petty saint.

Immigrating is LEGAL. Stating so openly on a forum where VOs can read and potentially identify you is boneheadedness (especially when you are still on a non-dual purpose visa)... that was my entire point. but of course, your misguided zeal to say something is blinding you. By the way... civilized folks do not use the term "nigga". It may be a term "bad boys" in Nigeria use but its basically a low class term around here.

You don't seem to be able to read and comprehend.... you simply retort. Again we've gone down a tangent because obviously your goal here isn't to contribute as much as its to antagonize me. I'm flattered little bro...

So of course, i'm expecting your next little rant like clockwork... in 3, 2, 1...

slimmy2005:
They obviously did thesame thing you did. You left Nigeria with an F-1. So stop acting like a kid here. People come here with F-1 then after studies look for job that would sponsor H-1B.

In your haste to "say something", you totally missed my entire point. Read it again, na so una dey fail exam.

Classified60 LOL!

All I did was read this thread back to back, fill my form myself, schedule appointment after filling and pray oh...all within 1 week. I was very nervous about filling the 40k...but that is HONESTLY my monthly stipend from managing my NGO for now. Lady G helped me a lot. I noticed she kept stressing HONESTY. Even the way I answered my qqs was all from info gathered here. If only people could make that sacrifice and READ...

Thank you!

I get tired of reading nonsense like "nobodyholypass".

cindyn:
I really want him to come and settle, kind of start work and further his Education.

Those two things are impossible for now. His only 2 choices are to immigrate by marriage or be sponsored by an employer. Here is problem... you just indicated that your sole purpose for getting an F1 visa is to immigrate, even though the visa is not a dual purpose visa. Now you've just stated your boyfriend wants to do same... on a thread that is constantly being read by actual US VOs! You folks are hilarious.

cindyn:
I really want him to come and settle, kind of start work and further his Education.

Think really hard here. If he is your sponsor, who will he claim as sponsor for himself when it's time for him to come over? What would he claim as ties? It is doable, but you both need to think long and hard. The last thing you want is for him to be denied a visa.

mrsmith11:
F2 covers both spouse (wife/husband ) and dependent (children)

Your point?

slimmy2005:
So B1 would allow him to work? F-2 is OK as well. He can visit her and stay, atleast the ease of getting a drivers licence and switching to F-1.

You're basically arguing for the sole purpose of being disagreeable. It makes no sense to apply as an F2. He is on record as the sponsor for his fiancée. If you were the VO, would you grant him an f2 visa? F2 visa means he is coming to the US to stay as a DEPENDENT for a fairly long period of time, meaning he will not be holding any meaningful employment in Nigeria or the US. How do you expect him to demonstrate enough funds to maintain himself? Can you be a sponsor and dependent on the person you claim to be sponsoring at the same time?

It is needful that you guys think critically before you make decisions. The Nigerian attitude of just saying anything just so you can feel you are also right is boring.

slimmy2005:
Go home and marry him and get F-2 or let him apply for a visiting visa.

An f2 visa for him is a bad idea. An f2 visa holder cannot work in the US at all. So if he is her sponsor, how do they intend to make money to keep her in school?

A b1 visa would be more appropriate.

tomisinobm:
And so?
So someone cannor go for a second degree.
Kwantinue.

Lol you're aware you just accused an actual VO of lying about the criteria he uses to judge your visa applications?

^^^

Classified60:
Ever wondered why people with good ties and nice job profiles are being denied visa at all? This is my take on the issue.
Have you ever thought or wonder what the vos are typing when interviewing you? They type you name on google and when it is entered on google, google gives every thing about you on facebook, tweeter, intagram , linkdin and so on. So if you say you did not lie on your application and you are denied, google will not lie.
those of you claiming married and your facebook update shows single, the VO would hve seen that.. you lied you are a banker but on linkdin or facebook you are still looking for job or jobless they will find out.. Delete anything inplecating from all social. media before going to the embassy or coming to the states. Google database shares information with embassies and the CIA.

My brother... have you been a VO before?

Femalin:
PlS I need someone to help me with statement of purpose for masters program in information technology or management information system my email is Femi_ogunowo@yahoo.com

If you can't write one yourself then how are you going to scale through a masters program?

Curioussme:
if I'm not dating it would be much better not the one someone is dating and it's like am not. Cos there's nothing to show for it. Obviously, I can't brag about such a man

What you should do is have your boyfriend here so we can help him. A woman like you is certainly not someone he should marry.

imperiouxx:
Mayhem everywhere on the thread.

You guys should stop destroying this thread.

apologies...

dyksin:
Good evening, Pls can someone give me guidelines on Studying in USA , Visa application. I want to apply for the undergraduate program... Thanks

Guidelines don't exist - first things first... (give yourself 1 year to plan at least - no rushing, as many here seem to prefer as if American won't exist after tomorrow)

1. What major do you wish to study? Settle that in your mind.
2. How much are you able to afford? That helps you narrow down the schools you can apply to (no more than 4) and whether you need to see if you can get funding.
3. What are the requirements? I always recommend you pick up the phone and speak with program coordinators, you'd be surprised how much this improves your chances. SAT, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT? Determine that.
4. Plan to take your tests (3 months practice time is good)
5. Send in your application - again continue to communicate with program coordinators to make sure your file is complete.
6. Whether you think so or not... a healthy funding offer is ALWAYS a plus when you have a visa interview

You really don't need a forum to do this. You can do this on your own, for free.
