I don't understand. Isn't the trip a flight? Why the need to select a sponsor when I know I am the one paying for the trip? I don't understand.

Kelex062:

The person paying for your trip is your sponsor.
You are to put his details there and not yourself.

My sponsor is footing my study and living expenses, but I chose "self" for my trip. I don't think I was wrong to have chosen "self".

Jonesdozi:
If you'll be going with a Statement of Account, it should be the same person paying for your trip. The school funds granted is usually for tuition

Finishing secondary school in 2018 is also a contributing factor. What have you been doing since you finished?

Just got denied some minutes ago � � �
Interview didn't even take more than 30secs

VO:pass me your documents
VO: oh you're back
Me:yes (came first but went back to get something corrected)
VO:who'd be sponsoring you
Me:my sister
VO:what does she do
me:she's a senior medical case manager at xyz
VO:where does she reside
Me:in Atlanta
He typed for some seconds
VO: so when did you finish secondary school
Me:2018
VO:sorry you're not qualified for the US VISA at the moment please do apply later and he gave me green slip

I suspect it's cos of my sponsor
My sponsor and the school are in the same state but different cities

Please what do you guys think is the cause of the denial??
Me:

For home ties reasons, an immediate family member like your sister living in the US shouldn't sponsor you.

Me:

Yeah, I just called thru the Lagos Embassy. A fresh EA request transferring to Abuja will attract another MRV fee payment. If you feel you can't wait any longer and can afford to pay another MRV fee, please do. But you have no idea if it's a wise decision for you. I also await an EA approval just like you do. I applied to the Lagos Embassy on the 17th July, and my resumption date is 23rd August. I've waited long enough too, but be wise.

Childofthemosth:
Good afternoon

Please respond to this,

Lagos has not responded my Emergency request and my school resumes in about 3 weeks.

I want to change to Abuja, do I have to pay another MRV before I can request Abuja?

If you have completed and successfully submitted your DS-160, it can no longer be edited. You can only create a new application having another ID. Visit the DS-160 page, click on "retrieve an application", then proceed to click the "create a new application" icon.

Pauliben:
Hi everyone,

If I want to update an information on my Ds-160 form, do I need to fill a new form? If yes, I guess I'll need to fill the new Ds-160 number on cgi page. Please how can I get a new appointment form that carries the new Ds-160 number.

Thank you.

Lagos or Abuja?

Powerpaul:
Good day everyone,

I got an my EA approval today but the dates available are after my proposed class start date. My class start date and program start date is 23rd August while available dates is from 30th August till September. Is it possible to get an earlier date in August before 23rd while I wait using the 3days grace to reschedule.

I need a opinions. �
Thanks.

Lagos or Abuja?

Rawly111:



Applied on the 25th of July

My best advice is to contact your school. You are most like to apply for an extension.

I still await my EA approval. When did you apply for the EA, and which embassy got you approved?

febrythompson:
Good afternoon all. Please my emergency interview was just approved this morning. Earliest date given and I have booked is 26th August 2021.

But my PHD orientation is scheduled for 18th august 2021 (attendance is a must). But resumption is sept 13th .
Can I apply for another closer date and how??
Please advice on what to do.

Hi Lightspeed.

When did you apply for the EA, and which embassy got you approved?

Lightspeed26:
Hello everyone
I got my EA approved today ! Nearest Available date to my resumption is 26th — school resumes 23rd — what do you think I can do ?

Yeah. You create a new application, by filling a new form. A new application ID will be generated for you, and pls make sure to update the new ID in your profile. Good luck.

JavanElsevier41:


Thanks so much but I had already made the mistake of putting it in my DS-160
Do I fill a new DS-160 so as to ommit it?

You are currently attending your MS degree at UI. You necessarily don't have to disclose this to the VO. Your reason to further in the US for another MS isn't strong enough. Many applicants who have gotten their visa approved never disclosed this, even after they must have earned their Nigeria MS degree. I see no reason to mention this at all. It's a red flag to proceed for another MS. The norm is to proceed for a PhD.

JavanElsevier41:
Oya o
Gurus in the house abeg help me analyse my transcript and make corrections Biko.

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning and how are u

VO: Can I see your documents

Me: Here they are( passes my passport and i-20)

VO: Why are you going to the United States

Me: I have been admitted to New Jersey institute of technology located at 323 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd Newark New Jersey for an Ms degree program in Environmental science with a concentration in environmental remediation and wastewater treatment using Microbial fuel cell

VO: How many schools did you apply to

Me: 6(mentioning them)

VO; Why did you choose NJIT

Me: I chose NJIT because of the structure of it's Environmental science program and how it fits my research interest. Prof Mengyan Li's research on environmental remediation and water treatment using the ABT(Advanced biological treatment) model which involved the use of algae,fungi and bacteria as well as the AOP(Advanced oxidation process) model was of interest to me as it aligned with my research interest in environmental remediation and wastewater treatment using Microbial fuel cells.
Also the environmental science program is structured to give students a deeper understanding of the fundamental sciences needed in solving environmental challenges. This in turn gives them the in-depth practical skill, needed in applying the knowledge of these fundamental sciences in probing into the causes of the damages that have been done to the environment,the extent of these damages and how these damages can be reversed.

VO: Why did you choose this course

Me: I chose this course because I want to have a deeper understanding of the environment. I want to be able to focus on analyzing and deducing problems associated with the environment and the effect of man-made activities on the environment. I want to be fully equipped with the adequate knowledge needed in finding solutions to the problems plaquing the Nigerian environmental system so as to be able to protect and preserve the environment.

VO: Why do you want to study in the United States

Me: The US environmental system has contributed significantly to the advancement of the Nigerian environmental system especially in the area of environmental remediation and waste management.
This is a system I would love to learn from as I will be fully equipped with the knowledge and practical skill needed in solving environmental challenges associated with the Nigerian environmental system so as to be able to make ground breaking achievements in the Nigerian environmental system.

VO: Tell me about your research

Me: I will be researching on environmental remediation and wastewater treatment using the microbial fuel cell. The microbial fuel cell is a recent technology I will be applying for wastewater treatment that involves the direct extraction of electrical energy from the micro organisms present in the wastewater. This will be done using an electron transfer mechanism which will help to capture the energy directly produced. I will be making use of a graphite rod which would act as an anode and a carbon cloth which would act as the cathode. I'm also going to be making use of a Nafion N115 which would act as a semipermeable membrane as well as a surge tank. The aim of the research is to effectively carry out wastewater treatment while generating electrical energy in the same process, which is a challenge in Nigeria. And also it has a relatively low cost of operation hence it would be very effective for use here in Nigeria.

VO: Tell me about your study plan

Me: The program has a duration of 2 years and Il will be expected to take a minimum of 30 credits with 5 core courses which includes a course in environmental analysis as well as a course in environmental microbiology and 3 elective courses which includes courses in environmental probleml solving and hazardous lwaste management. I will also be taking part in the environmental science seminar and then of course my thesis.

VO: What will this program do for you

Me: This program will give me an in-depth practical skill,as well as sharpen my research, writing and instrumentation skills,which will in turn place me in a very competitive position in Environmental science here in Nigeria, as I will be coming back to Nigeria to take up a full time lecturing job at the University of Benin here in Nigeria as an environmental scientist

VO: What course did you study

Me: I studied geology at the University of Benin and I graduated in 2016

VO: What have you been doing since then

Me: After my graduation in 2016, I took part in the compulsory one year national youth service where I worked as a physics teacher in government day secondary school in kwara State.
In 2019 I took up a job as a teacher in Jenas Montessori international School where I taught mathematics, physics and chemistry. As the only science teacher in the school, I taught all levels of the secondary arm from JS1-SS3. I was also Incharge of the school's science club. In 2020 I took up a job as a quarry manager with the Freedom Group of companies where I was Incharge of a quarry. My duty was to ensure safe activities at the quarry. This I achieved by ensuring that all miners adhered to all safety precautions at the quarry and I also ensured that the quality and quantity of products from the mines were not compromised.

VO: Since you are currently running a masters program here at UI, why do you want to run another masters degree program

Me: The United States environmental system has been a system I had always wanted to learn from because I have always wanted to make a ground breaking impact in the Nigerian environmental system but at the time I was not able to locate a supervisor in the United States,who shared similar research interest with me. And I didn't want to be redundant academically. I wanted to keep learning about the environment,hence my application for a masters degree program at the University of Ibadan.
But with my admission at NJIT and my connection with Prof Mengyan Li, this would be an opportunity to actualise my dream in making a huge impact in correcting the ills associated with environmental management in Nigeria especially in the area of wastewater treatment

VO: What are your plans after school

Me: After this program I will be coming back to Nigeria to take up a full-time lecturing job in environmental science at the University of Benin, where I obtained my undergraduate degree. As a young man who has so much passion for the academic profession and I desire to get to the peak of this profession, I will be publishing articles and journals that will probe into the causative reasons or causes of damages that have been done to the Nigerian environment in past and in recent years, the extent of these damages and how these damages can be effectively handled.

Hi Temitope.

I also await emergency request approval from the Lagos Embassy. I applied on the 17th.

When did you apply? Which embassy did you schedule for? What's your program start date?

Temitopebisi:
Hello, I am waiting for emergency request approval.

Sorry to hear.

I also applied but haven't gotten any decision mail.

Please when did you apply for the EA, and which embassy?

y2kola:
Please what do I do from here? I just got a mail that my emergency request denied. Gurus in the house please help

You must have gotten that info from your I-20. It's usually 3 years on the I-20 should there be a case of an extension. But your program will not exceed 2 years.

Adesquare1992:
Good pm guys,
Pls I just realized that the duration for my Master's program is for three years. The program starts 23rd of August 2021 and ends 23August 2024.

During this period I am expected to take between 33-36credits.

Does this feel normal?

Wow. Really! PhD in Environmental Science, right?

Are you on LinkedIn?

Should you want to keep your contact confidential, you can otherwise reach me on my Whatsapp anytime soon. It will be appreciated. I'm Victor by the way.

Thanks.

DocND:
Okay, all the best. Feel free to reach out if you need any info, that's my program.

Hi DocND.

Chemistry program. My application is still out for review.

DocND:
What program did you apply to? I am a PhD student here

Hello Dayviheed91.

Could you please tell me the date you got your admission decision notification?

I also applied to Tennessee Technological University, but for a Masters program in Fall. Howbeit, no decision has been made yet.

Please do not hesitate to reply.

Thanks

Buhari warns Recruiting paramilitary organization to conclude all pending recruitment in the new month of 2021.

Deliver on targets or get sanctioned - president Buhari warns recruiting paramilitary organizations to conclude all pending recruitment in the new month of 2021.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja issued stern warning to agencies of government saddled with generating revenue generation to work hard to meet their target.

The presidency also issued stern warning to Nigeria Customs Service, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigeria Immigration Service and Nigeria Service Civil Defense Corp to conclude all ongoing recruitments and proceed with her main function of generating revenue for the nation

Signing the 2021 Budget into law, the presidency wants all pending recruitments to come to an end as no further provision will be made for-Buhari December 2020 Meanwhile the said paramilitary units will present their budgets and forward it to the House of Assembly not later than the first quarter of 2021 for speedy passage.

You don't expect a definitive answer from anyone here. It's all speculations and wishes. Many like you are also on the look out. Keep hoping and quit waiting for a response in this thread to find peace. Invites will be sent only to the successful candidates, and that's what will determine the peace I think you're talking about.

Invites sometimes don't carry the name of applicants, especially in cases where there are too many applicants to send invites to.

There may or may not be any need to release another press statement of shortlisting, but we already know there's another screening stage afterwards. Successful candidates in this category would be contacted either by SMS or Email.

But for transparency reasons, I think another press statement will most likely be released.

Uspic:
Why will a letter of invitation not carry the applicant's name?
If they're really shortlisting, wouldn't they release a press statement like they always have?
If you can answer these two questions, you will find peace

Letter of Invite is absolutely a correct grammar. Invite can be both verb and noun.

happy662:
This is scam.
Even their English is not correct.
It should be letter of invitation not letter of invite.

It could be a typo error. That's no authentic evidence to disprove the invitation yet. The invitation might be true. At least the CDFIPB was correctly spelt in the sender email and at the bottom of the mail.

Hi Udonium

I completed both the verbal and numerical assessment last week, and I haven't gotten a feedback since then. Did you get a separate mail for the phone interview? If yes, for how long, from the time you completed your cognitive assessment, did you have to wait to receive the phone interview mail?

Udonium:


That's after you scale through the numerical and verbal assessment

Thank you, Liispa. I have made the payment and gotten my Reference Number. Did your school use NIPOST or a private courier? How long did it take you altogether, including evaluation?

Liispa:


Yes, you’re good to go. You can just fill your home address.

OK. Take a look at these pictures. No debit card option. Although I will be using the information on my GT debit mastercard to make payment. Is that the debit card you meant?

Liispa:


I put my home address, I used a debit card though, so it does not really matter. If you're actually using a credit card, the address will be the one in your credit card statement is normally sent to.

Of course I'm using credit card... The billing address form was required alongside. I'm just trying to be careful. If you submitted your WES application successfully, what address did you use?

Liispa:


I mean you can put your address, but that part isn't really relevant unless you're using a credit card to pay

I don't get you. Any address not relevant to me? I was going to use my home address!

Liispa:


Any address, not relevant to you

I don't get you. Any address not relevant to me? I was going to my home address!

Liispa:


Any address, not relevant to you

Good day guys,

I am trying to make a credit card payment. What am I to fill as the Billing address??

Thank you.
