showemimogab:
I am new here. Can someone please help me out on how to get USA student visa with hnd.

Just make sure you evaluate your poly transcript and you are good to go

MrMann1:
Guy, go and do PGD, get the transcript and include it in your application.. else they will ask you to do Bachelors degree first, and rubbish your HND

Are you a victim of the bold?

If yes do you evaluate your poly transcript?

imperiouxx:
I have told you this before. This is not Nigeria, everything official here has no shortcuts and follows due process. Have you ever heard of illegal parents (husband and wife) with 5 citizen children before? Only the children can't be removed but the parents under US law are subjected to deportation if caught. Those kind of children are what Donald J. Trump called "anchor babies" in US. In his wildest dreams, he's trying to stop such "anchor babies" stuffs. Babies can only be used as part of evidence of bona fide marriage, it speeds nothing. They still have to strongly prove that they aren't using the babies for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws.

Having babies actually requires planning. We've been married since 2014 and our plan is 2018 because both of us are still studying. So, don't pressurize your sis to start have babies when her legal status is still staggering. Like I told someone up there, to legally stay in US is frustrating after your purpose of coming is about to finish. Everyone passes/will pass through that stage at some point.

You are right and most of us needs to learn and take note of this

Djponpin1:

thacokeboy:

What do you mean by they hacebthe found you college ?

Do you mean that your college is not listed on the college board portal or your school does not have SAT code ?

foreverkind1:

My brother there is nothing bad in that because learning/studying in a continual process..

Haven't you seen someone who is almost 40 years and start university again.?

foreverkind1:
Hello house ? Actually I will like to do my 2nd UG in USA ,as anyone been giving visa with it , I can't get MSC admission because of my low grade.. I need your advice and constructive criticism @ sureb0y, imperioux ,walspring, warriboy21 and other veterans

Sure you can get visa with your 2nd UG but it depend on how you package yourself and how you cover up the years between the waec you will use because the VO will ask you or thinking of what have you been doing since you left high school.

Just be straight forward and truthful when filling the ds160..

Placeboeffect:
Hi everyone. I'm new on this forum and I must commend you guys for a job well done. God bless you guys.
Please, I have a question. My sister and I are applying for spring 2017 admission and our sponsor is in the USA. Please do you think this can cause any problems for us at the embassy considering the fact that we want to use the same sponsor. Please kindly help us out guys as it really scares us especially my sister. God bless you and happy Sunday

Amen and you too..

Well I will say 50/50 chances because there are people who got their US student visa and their sponsor are in US. If you can prove why (s)he is sponsoring both of you.

Also lemme believe that your sponsor is a US citizen and the way (s)he got the citizenship will also determine your visa interview as well..

tomisinobbm:
A pal bought his 12k, they probably gba-ed him. It should not be more than 6k, if not, go to the embassy and purchase there. All SAT books are 6k flat there.

Cc; thacokeboy

Did your pal buy Barron SAT or SAT official guide for 12k?

because SAT official guide is more expensive compare to Barron SAT.

OJCITY22:
Amen ooo boss. Finally! Finally!!
My school has responded to them, so I guess work should commence over there...

Am happy for you and thank God for the good news

thacokeboy:

5th attempt
LAGOS EMBASSY

I regretted why I never went to lagos from the first application. I just loved the Lagos setting. MEANWHILE, I changed my status to married. I had a marriage certificate I had prepared with stamp and everything.

VO: Where are you going to?
Me: University of Bridgeport, Connecticut
VO: For?
Me: my masters degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering
VO: What did you study in your undergrad?
Me: Electrical/Electronics Engineering
VO: So I’ve seen here that your school gave you an academic merit award of $3,000. Why?
Me: because I had good grades in my undergraduate results
VO: So why did you come here? Why not Abuja?
Me: I wanted going there but the dates available in Abuja was too close to the resumption date so I had to schedule it here
VO: I can see here too that you’ve changed your sponsors to your parents. Why didn’t they sponsor you at first?
Me: I have a scholarship so my parents are capable to pay the rest of the expenses
VO: what does your parent do?
Me: my dad is a professor of music, he lectures in the university, while my mum is a lecturer in physics department in the same university
VO: So do you have the prove of the scholarship?
Me: yes ma..(gave her a printed mail from the scholarship body plus a scanned letter from them…the letter even stated that I have 3months to send the account details of the school I need the money to be paid to)
VO: What do you do?
Me: I work in a ….
VO: Did you apply to other schools?
Me: yes….named
VO: so why this school?
Me: this school offers the particular course I want to major in
VO: which is?
ME: Green energy systems
VO: How did you find the school?
Me: I used google search and applied to all the four schools I found.
VO: Sorry your visa cannot be…..
Me: leaves immediately


What can you suggest I do in my next application as I’ve deferred to spring? I really need to get back to school to further. Will having the money in my account atleast one month before the interview cause any positive effect? Cos from their rejections, it seems they have a serious doubt about my capability to fund my education but that’s the least problem to me cos the money is there, though not in my account or my parents’. What can you advise guys? God bless y’all

Sorry about your delay and you have work to do and don't give up because if you work on your lapses you will end up getting the visa..

My own opinion

I wish you can defer you admission of possible till fall 2017 (I guess it's hard for you to do) and work on your lapses.

It is obvious that with your delayed transcripts you gave similar and simple answers to why the school, why the course, how do you know about the school, what do you do and how you got your scholarship from the school and other source.

Also all your answers are of the same pattern, the way you talk about how you got your scholarship both from the school and other source it's not well organized or stated at and you need to restructure them all because you are apply for a master degree and the level of your response must be unique in your next interview from all the previous interview..

In additional the way you are trying to give or present all those documents to VO also add to it because when VO didn't ask for documents and you trying to show and use it to prove to them usually tagged applicant in another way of enticing them in order to get the visa or in for of desperation.

Ctemi:
thanks walspring.

Let's give the thanks to God

chiMoni37:
Can one with a GPA of 3.2 from a Nigerian University apply for graduate school in any us University ?

Yes ooooo

Dominicumoh:
Okay. I will post all my transcript here,...A change could mean having more money right? Yes I have made more money to fund my studies, another change could be that i'm now applying to resume in the spring session. In the 5th interview i even had to change my marital status to Married, still it didnt work for me,...the lady didnt even mention that...and now i'm faced with the confusion of whether to maintain my status as married or to return to my normal single state in my next application....Definitely a tough time for me cos this School has got everything i want and i fell in love with it a long time ago,....to reconfigure my mind to accept another school or another country other than the US could be vain.

I will advise you to be careful of what you are changing when fill your ds160 because that could add more insult to the injury. There are ways you could add to your changing but do not over hype your changes because those VO can think both positive and negative as well.

Just pray for God's Favour, Grade and Mercy and you will surely get it in your next interview only if you believe.

fizzile:
