..lol
Enjoy the rest of the weekend ....

Doing exactly that... enjoy your weekend as well.

There no difference between you and those who want to run away .....at the end of the day all are economic migrants just on different path . Your post most times seems so condescending of others. Yes they might want to Flee Nigeria (who can blame them with the current state ) but u are guilty of the same...

Character wise .....DO BETTER

Yes ma'am.

nellyalph:
My point is that the level of aggressiveness in this thread is high. We cannot make comment again without insulting someone's character, personality or intellect. The purpose of passing info is that the other person understands it, that he is an old member doesn't justify anything. Some of us claim we don't need help and people who need help cannot ask due to fear of being bashed....

True i don't know the genesis of the problem. i saw your comment on twood's and the next thing i saw was you and slimmy. These days, i noticed people no longer ask questions, its as if nobody is applying to schools or for visa again.

I don't want to have "you reply me and i reply you back scenario."

Your post is no different from the very thing you claim to be caterwauling about.

I frankly don't take 95% of the folks here seriously at all. What i see here aren't students, but economic migrants looking for any means possible to run away from Nigeria. School just happens to be the easy route for now. So not surprising, people tend to lash out when you make a comment. Its mostly out of desperation... you're simply on that side because you're in the same boat. Simple. Nigerians are not used to people being blunt with them... we are a nation of sickening sycophants, even when we are in the wrong, we still expect people to "respect" us, hail us, kiss our feet and baby us. Its why James Ibori is getting a heroes welcome in his hometown today. Good luck.

Lmaoo..you are setting yourself up. The kind of emails you will be getting everyday will make you tired of life, trust me

Lol I figured why give advise for free?

sirRiddy:
*in Asari Dokubo's voice* Oh my God!
Me I aff seen alert o
and na turbotax ooo. Which one is tax fraud again?
Guys here have been using turbo sha for ages and a couple
are citizens now. If IRS like make them ask for refund, na them sabi.
Turbo gave me all my federal back.

Please speak with your ISO. You are not supposed to file your taxes with turbotax until you become a resident for tax purposes - 5 years of continuous stay in the US or your status changes to a PR. If you notice, you're supposed to use form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, NOT the regular 1040. Just because someone did it and got away with it does not give you cate blanche to do same. Many people get lucky and tax forms are not reviewed during change of status applications. If you're getting tax credits... that is technically fraud.

SlowlybtSurely:
Employment naw.

Well then you can kiss visiting the US goodbye.

iykem02:
I got an Iranian employment visa too , but don't know what to do guys I need info about Iran.

What do you need this visa for?

MamaOO:
And I also aired mine. Who is we? We ...Americans. Did you vote? Cos I was curious about how you knew Americans wanted him. Trump's your guy, congratulations. I hope you get to lodge in that penthouse and I certainly hope he makes America great again by stopping birth tourism altogether. I bet we can both agree on that. Lol

This would be nigh impossible to stop - unless you change the constitution (which is another matter entirely). The other option would be to pass a rule that blocks anyone pregnant from coming to the US (which would be challenged in court and most likely found unconstitutional). I just can't see how that works. So for now... happy birthing i guess.

Awesu122:
Thanks so much for your suggestion bro and God bless you, looking to put in for fall admission in Cleveland state university OHIO or Lincon state university Oakland CA , all other top schools needs , things like me providing my CV, writing essay, Resume , and maybe interview as well, all these ain't problem for me if I see someone that would put me through on how to go about it, example OHIO state university neeeds all these have listed before admission could be considered

lol c'mon this is a joke isn't it. A person who scores 323 on a GRE, a person who has supposedly finished a bachelors degree, needs to be "put through" on how to write a CV, write an essay on your research/ graduate school interests, how to write a resume and approach graduate school interviews? You're the poster child for the complete failure of the Nigerian school system.

Good afternoon by the way.

Twoods...Twoods....as usual..

My brother... how we for do?

When was Martin Luther King jr a Nigerian? Rather than give your people jobs and electricity, you're wasting it building a monument to Bola Tinubu... misplaced priorities.

fredoricko:
Highfalutin opinion? Really? Either you're joking and didn't mean that, or you're just too myopic that you fail to see the irony in that phrase.
Highfalutin?
FYI, don't quote this post, Mr. Perfect Twoods

You really have an inflated opinion of yourself too don't you? I mean, for all your caterwauling...

I shouldn't quote the post because? Its copyrighted or something? My brother... have some sleep.

Sophiamax16:
Oh didn't know. I was asking of them. Sorry about that.My hubby saw this and sent to me.Copied:
Good morning ladies. My friend who is an attorney in New York and a RCCG Pastor sent this to me early this morning. This happened to his own niece:

US IMMIGRATION

My friend's niece arrived yesterday at JFK airport. She is a Nigerian with a valid 2 year visa. She was held by US Immigration for over 12 hours and then deported with a 5 year ban. Her crime was that she flew Qatar airline. That was the red flag. The ignorant immigration officials wanted to know why she would fly from Nigeria to Qatar instead of through Europe. They wanted to know her contacts Qatar. She said it was due to cheaper ticket price. They searched her phones, looked at all her contacts and even called her job in Nigeria. After all the humiliation they said she had two choices , she could either go back to Nigeria or be put in detention in the US while they continue with extreme vetting. This all happened yesterday in our New United States. Please when traveling check your phones, your messages, your internet. Don't take unknown packages or letters for people and if you can avoid certain airlines please. I am not trying to alarm you JFK is now like a war zone with lawyers and protesters on standby. If you have a green card , you better apply for citizenship as the green card is almost worthless

.


This story appears incomplete. CBP will not simply deport you because you flew on a different airline if you have a valid visa, did not lie to obtain the visa and do not have incriminating evidence on your phone that you intend to stay in the US or work while visiting... no need for the panic. If you're not from the 7 countries on the list, you have no problem at the POE.

cosxzbay:
Seriously!!! I can't believe what I am reading. I think you should be very ethical in your response. This is a forum!

1. Obviously you have no idea what the term "ethical" means.
2. The fact that this is a forum means whatever you post is fair game.
3. I'm not the only one who doubted your score... there are least two posts here saying the exact same thing, and obviously the VO thought the same...
4. It really is a free world. As you can see, every one has an opinion on my "ethics" (or lack of it)... i haven't died yet. Trust me, you won't die either. Water off a duck's back... what is said on a forum should not define your day or your outlook on life. Have fun.

fredoricko:
You're just something else.
No one is an island, neither does one know it all. Often times when different and unrelated people begin to complain about a behavioural trait, a prudent person would reassess and make changes. Don't be adamant. The principle behind some of your post shows Wisdom. Prove you're wise, relax on your belligerence.

I do interact with a few people here outside of the forum and i also have quite a lot of family and friends outside of here... i would be worried if they all had the same opinion. As that has not happened, forgive me if i'm not very inclined to take your highfalutin opinion. Thanks for the note either way.

fredoricko:
I appreciate what you say and I think I understand that most of it is based on principle. But don't you think your message will be better accepted if you are subtle and mild in your approach?
As much as some of your post make sense, they're often watered down by how you choose to present them. Try to dignify people and not outrightly condemn them.
I may not know you personally, but I can tell you're ill tempered.

You are certainly entitled to an opinion. Thank you.

Awesu122:
Yeah am doing that because of the stress have been through , if it means heaven to you , sorry it doesn't to me ok? We not all same

If it's not a do or die affair, why the stress?

Awesu122:
And for you to think my score is not genuine is absurd , am willing to pm you with my profile username and password , so that you can check through by yourself , you just here talking as if you know it all, ITK continue

It's simple, your score is better than most here... who where able to get into top tier schools and with funding. It's either you're too lazy to find a school or you really aren't interested in studying. You can hyperventilate in righteous indignation all you want. I don't have to go to school anymore.

Awesu122:
Just imagine the way you have been talking , why would you ever think am not serious ? And I don't wanna go to school , so dissapointed with your comment, must we all look for funding ? Or do you know my financial capability? While you out there saying thrash, you don't seems to know me , you don't know the effort have made , please I understand what you driving at , and I don't care if VOs follow this thread closely , unlike your own believe that I wanna enter USA through back door , sorry to disappoint you bro , going to USA is not a do or die affairs for me , I can only keep on trying till my request is granted ok? Am not hell bent on going to USA , and come to think of it , why are you so concerned about the choice of school I choose to attend , the way you talk though, yet you don't seems to know me , don't be rude , please u don't know me , that's all I cld say for now

All I want to know is how in the world you got a 323 on the GRE. Good luck.

The US is not a do or die affair, but here you are making your fourth attempt. Keep deceiving yourself.

Awesu122:
Thanks for the candid suggestion from you, would do as you have said , I would also welcome suggestions of good schools from you that are still admitting students for April admission season , thanks once again

Several problems with this:

1. It's obvious you're not interested in school. Why can't you do a search yourself? Google exists, you can call the program coordinators, use email, why do you simply want someone to mention a school to you? Are you not interested in understanding if the school you want to attend has a program tailored to your interests?

2. You've got a very good GRE score, why no interest in leveraging this for funding at a top tier school?

3. Any serious school will not be taking applications now for entry in April...

Bottom line, you really don't care about studying, it's simply a backdor to the US. What you don't realize is that VOs are active on this thread... it would be easy for them to simply recognize you from all the information you've provided here and tag you for visa refusals henceforth. You don't appear serious even to people here... I can imagine what the VO thinks.

Awesu122:
You so right
But all the VO that has interviewed always have something to say about the school, which is how low rated the school is, the last VO who interviewed me was surprised I had 323 in GRE and still wanna attend this school

The VO was right. Even I would suspect that you're not a genuine student or something was fishy. A 323 score in the GRE is excellent and should get you into a top tier school with a good chance of funding. It is possible the VO thought that your choosing such a poorly rated school is evidence that you're not so much concerned about the quality of your education as much as just getting into the US. I won't be surprised if they held unto your GRE just tonne sure it was even genuine.

Your problem is that you don't seem willing to do the hard work. I have my doubts that you're interested in studying at all.

Fortissimo502:
Doesn't look like it was granted.

I'm not surprised. A GRE score of 323 going to CALUMS? C'mon even the VOs would not get such a score... he would have been granted a visa if he got into a top tier school. An example of where cutting corners does not work.

Awesu122:
Good evening from here
Please can someone provide me with list of business schools in USA that only accept GRE and wouldn't ask for toefl, please CALUMS not an option, looking forward to prompt response , thanks so much

What happened to your previous visa?

slimmy2005:
Without work authorization, we are already permitted to work 20 hours/ week. The work authorization gives you the opportunity to seek for employment outside campus and you can also work 40 hours a week during summer and winter break.

I know your response are always with authority and arrogance

Your equally arrogant response wasn't necessary. I'm happy to be corrected... I haven't needed work authorization for years now.

chuksproxy:
Please who knows procedure for work permit in the usa under f1 status? i need their help please. let me know asap thanks

No work authorization for your first year. Then you can apply for authorization to work 20 hours/week maximum. Ask your international student advisor for assistance.

anonymousmum:
Let us just do the right thing, and then pray and fast after.

Gbam!
