Hello Everyone,
I got my Visa approve Dec 2017 I would say it's been a year and half I have been in the US, and God so good it hasn't been that easy. Shout out to everyone that recently got their Visa approved, Sharwama, Samdgreat2011 and everyone else.

Shout out to Lagosismyhome, Brown2Green, Time2win, Walspring and gosh I miss Twoods. You guys have been awesome because with how busy things get in the US and u still make out time to help others, God bless u guys.

And to the other applicants out there, Abeg! Make una try to get some sort of Assistantship, GA, TA or anything before applying. Even if ya papa be Dangote, paying tuition as an international student doesnt come cheap. It's not easy to drop that money and the VOs know this. Things ain't cheap in the US as no one will spare u a dime. So guys plan things well before you travel.

I wish all the recently approved a safe journey to Trumpland.

Please can someone guide me on the steps to get assistantship...I don’t know how to go about this
