Chriswazo:
Congrats my brother, u were among the guys that guided me last year on the Germany student thread.

Am happy u got ur first love at last.

Boss man, I am happy to hear the bolded above. I remember your moniker from the thread as well. I am now free from Bitte sprechen sie Englisch.
I hope you're having a great time in Deutschland though.

sharwama:
You celebrated with me and now I celebrate with you too, Congratulations my friend.

Thank you very much ma'am. I appreciate you.
Sorry my response is coming late.

MyCaseIsDiffere:
Gluckwunsch, mein bruder! A big congratulations! Let's toast to a glass of German beer.
Once again, congrats to all the new successful applicants. I share in your joy. The US is indeed a place to be, howbeit; nowhere can be like home. Nigeria is home, all day, everyday. ��

Danke Sehr meine Schwester. Sorry my response is coming late

Congratulations mate

nelem:
Congrats brov. Quite a good interaction between the both of you. You also sounded very convincing.




Congrats

Thank you man.

iwriterng:
I really look forward to when Nigerians in Nigeria will be respected by other countries.

Imagine how friendly the conversation was in Germany. Here in Nigeria, you literally “beg” for the visa, and the officers are like Demi-god.

It’s sad.

Congratulations to you! Sorry I said all of that on your transcript. I’m happy you got it without stress.

It's fine man. Thanks for the wishes. I share your concerns too. I was just standing in line and the same thought was running through my mind. Visas were literally being granted in less than 2 minutes. At one point I didn't know when I said "ah ah" due to the approvals. Although I was the only one with a strange passport until I finished my interview. Every other ones were German passports.

Hello Guys!
Visa Approved this morning at the US Consulate, Frankfurt.
The consular officer allowed me to finish my sentences so I was really free to express myself.

VO: Passport and I-20 please
Me: I did as I was asked.

VO: What are you going to do in the US
Me: I am going for my Master’s degree in Ocean, Coastal and Earth Sciences at UTRGV

VO: How did you find out about this school?
ME: I got to speak with one of the lecturing staff of the University and my intended department during a geoscience conference in Lagos, Nigeria in 2018. He told me the department was looking for graduates of Geology for the new phase of their research and when I shared my Geology background and interests with him, he told me I would be a good fit and that I should apply. So I did further research on the school via Princeton review, usnews and other search parameters and I was satisfied so I applied.

VO: Your bachelors is also in Geology?
Me: Yes it is.

VO: You got your bachelors from Germany or Nigeria?
Me: Nigeria please.

VO: When did you come to Germany?
Me: April this year.

VO: What are you doing in Germany?
Me: I am currently studying Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management at TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

VO: Why don't you want to continue this programme in Germany?
Me: I put in for the Sustainable Mining programme here so I could research on the remediation of wastewater and heavy metals from mines but apparently the mines in Germany have been closed including the University’s experimental teaching mine where I am supposed to conduct my research. So it is no longer feasible to continue the programme. I believe going to the US at this time is a good call for me.

VO: Who is paying for your programme?
Me: Myself and my elder sibling

VO: What will you do with this degree?
Me: My career focus has always been in academia so the acquired training from this degree will strategically place me to take on a lecturing position at my alma mater (the University of Benin) as a researcher of environmental hydrogeology and I do have a competitive advantage here due to my recent work experience as a research assistant in the Department of Geology and also because the department only has one professor of hydrogeology that is aging and close to retirement. He would be glad to mentor me once more like he did as my thesis supervisor.

VO: Sorry did you say you finished from Benin?
Me: Yes, the University of Benin, Nigeria.
Me: Sorry the Benin I mentioned is different from the country called Benin. Benin is a city in Nigeria as well.
VO: Oh thanks for the correction. I actually thought you were referring to the country Benin. I'm sorry I'm not so familiar with places in Nigeria. (We both laughed).
VO went ahead to tell me that it's just like that in the US. That Springfield is another confusing term that is up to 35 in the US. I quickly said "oh so you need to specify the particular Springfield you're going to in the US". To this, the VO said YES. We laughed again after she told me one of her Springfield experiences.

VO: Alright your visa is approved....
VO: You did a good job answering all my questions. Please answer the questions same way at the port of entry okay.
I smiled and said I will.

Deficit - $30k
No SOA

. TU Freiberg, groundwater management ( MSc)

Congratulations. If you've not secured Accommodation yet, there is a vacant room at the student dorm for 2 months from September.
Send a PM if you're interested.

hustla:
7 to 10 days
15K
LOOOL If I hear

I just spoke with a driving school operator and he said the price as at 3 months ago was 15k. He isn't sure if there is any change in amount.
About the duration, he said it's 7 days.
So I think @DBELLEs is correct

GrabHisBalls:
Yeah, seems he's doing more of advisory job for them than representing.

Now, I miss the movie 'Suits'.

Miss it no more. Season 9 just came out.
Happy watching!!!

calinto:
Good day bro, seems I don't understand this PM things, I didn't see it though. How about other media to communicate

I don't want to post my number here to avoid spamming. check your email spam folder or inbox, you should see a mail that says victree007 from Nairaland (or something similar) sent you a message.
Respond to the message, we will communicate afterwards.

calinto:
I'm interested

Send a PM please. I did but you didn't respond

Who has gotten AM and is coming to Freiberg for Winter?

There's Accommodation at the Student Dorm, walking distance to class venues - Single Room and you don't share anything with anyone.

Duration - 2 Months from September with the possibility to extend
Let me know if you're interested

Maryam3:
IS IT OKAY TO MENTION THE FACT THAT MY SCHOOL GAVE ME CHEMISTRY INSTEAD OF BIOLOGY THAT I APPLIED FOR DURING MY INTERVIEW? I have Chemistry on my admission letter instead of Biology


Thank you

You ought to have written the Admission specialist of your school to tell them about the discrepancy. They will be in a better position to explain the change to you. I suggest you send an email to the unit if you haven't already done so.

Passion2009:
Hi everyone, my roommate already has his visa to Harvard approved. He however misplaced his I-20 and he is already billed to fly to New York next week and he will need his I-20 at POE. Is it okay to.use a scanned I-20 form or will.he have to wait for it to be sent via Fed-Ex which will take a lot of.time and ultimately affect his travel plan?

According to Kathryn Berck, it is recommended to have the original I-20 present at the POE because scanned copies are easier to fake. Your friend may need to contact the school to see if a new one can be sent before traveling or the embassy to ask if a scanned copy can be used.

sharwama:
Babe, this table you decided to shake, shebi you no see say I siddon on top

Same table @Predstan et al have been shaking while @fairheart sat on it.
Quite an interesting show, let me sit on a chair close to the table

OgogoroDegree:

3. I20
4. Confirmation of Sevis Fee (Receipt)
5. Statement of Account
6. 2 Passport photographs (sometimes not needed)
7. Confirmation of visa appointment
8. DS160 confirmation page
9. Admission letters
10. Funding letters
11. School transcript/Certificate

casid:
Thanks.

No doubts but the school's plan is expensive. I am looking for alternatives to save cost.

I think you need to first speak with your school to be sure it is not MANDATORY to use the one they recommended.
So you don't go and waste money for nothing.

uzmu:
Please the Guru In the house should pls help look into my proposed transcript.
NB : Have being Denied visa twice in January this year, and I want to give it a try again for the 3rd time, same Sch.i posted my 2 delayed visa here already.
Next interview is Monday 24th June, 2019.
This is my proposed transcript.
VO Good morning
Me Morning
VO pass your I-20 and oda Doc
Me I obliged.

VO where do you work
Me I work as a contract staff IT Specialist with Bleep company

Together with concerns shared by other experienced folks, I don't think there's any point mentioning contract staff. You work as an IT Specialist which is your position, no need for contract staff. That may not send a good message.

fairheart:
I am the king, she is the queen. Pick both and you'll have anything you wish for
This is funny.

Laughs. Now you've got me real good.
Ensure you don't share any secret between you two to me, because I will do well to inform her. As E be say two of una don be open book.
Pick one and get one free. By the way, my wish is to join the league of US visa holders

fairheart:
You have got a good role model for yourself.

Thanks man. Although I think you fit the part perfectly. You've been doing a really great job here.
Again, no insult intended @sister sharwama

sharwama:
I don't know if you were giving me compliments or insulting me on top my approval

Compliments all the way. I want to be like you when I grow up. No insult intended at all.

sharwama:
SHARWAMA'S APPROVED VISA TRANSCRIPT.
Date: June 7, 2019
Venue: Lagos Consulate
Time:6:30 a.m

V.O: Ok, I will be approving your Visa. He hands me the white paper. Talked about pick up in three working days, gave me back my SOA and I-20, asked me to keep it carefully and I would need the latter at the port of entry... Told me to have a wonderful day
I: (Killer smile) Thank you and have a wonderful rest of the day too.
Yup, I bounced out of the building
THE END

Congratulations on your approval.
I said in my head a couple of times that your visa has got to be approved because your loquaciousness demands it. More reason to be garrulous now.

Ketu223:
Abeg my people... What do I do oo the online booking appointment interview no dey no dey show oo ..how I go do na...I mail them,them no dey reply mail....my program they start MAY..
Pls what do I do oo

I will advise you request for your school to defer the admission till Winter. Because getting a summer appointment date right now seems unlikely. I doubt if you will be able to meet up.

Defer to Winter and by then, dates will be everywhere and you won't feel any unnecessary pressure

emeka2103:
Good morning house. Please can the English proficiency letter collected from my department be used to get admission?
I’ll be greatful if this can be answered urgently.

Yes it can be used. Have no fear.
That's what my friends and I used
