Like is said, its all about your choice and follow your heart or ask God to show you if you should go to Lagos or Abuja..

doctormalik: Hello House, Please my school wants to send my I20 through USPS priority express mail. Has anybody used it before in the house? I want to know if the usps priority express mail is reliable.

Yes it is to my own best of knowledge cos i used it before and i got my I-20 within 7-10 days

zenzen: i just prefer abuja to lagos that's all...coslot of pple have been complainin abt lagos embassy unlike abuja

Okay... Its all about your choice boss!!!!

godG: Oh, good. Thanks, bro. Will check some sites out. Wakanow and d likes been giving me trash all day.

godG: Please house, anyone with info on how local flights in Nigeria operate? Bookings and all necessary modalities. Help a brother.

Is like you go to counter at the airport and book or you call their phone number to book or visit their website and book...

zenzen: thanks for d advice,i stay in lagos but i already choose abuja for the appointment,is dere anyway i could change to lagos?

Thanks to God.....

Yes you can change.. Just cancel your appointment and reschedule to Lagos... If i may ask why going to Abuja ?

Graviton v.2.0.:
Which one?

It's ''Ka ko bi chicken''

Graviton v.2.0.:
I have since resolved to ignore him.

Which song is that one? The one he featured Davido?

Not that one...

Abiagirl777: only the bombs planted in the churches,in the xtain parts of the north eg. Chibok,in Jos and sabon-gari where igbos are majorly de residents, goes off.who is fooling who?

I concur with you... why cant a boy or girl find bombs planted inside/beside or around the church, market, bus/motor parks.

They are making a fool of themselves..

I think you people should drop this percentage issue..

In Reminisce's voice lets move on unto greater things

Idazbawz: ohh... now I get your point. Bur do u know dat percentage figures are used to express the rate of something. You are free to use any digit to express yourself; depending on the mssg you are passing. 90-99% should mean (most, if not all), 51-58% should mean (some), 59-69% should mean (many or several), 70-89% should mean(most) 100% means (ALL)....

Hope we good now?
How's travel prep going over there... a NLander said he's going with foodstuffs... is dat possible?

On a low key... Preparing hard for my own Visa but i look unto God this time around...

justwise: Keep running your mouth with this new ID, nothing have changed for your info. Nairaland will recover fully.

Wow... that's good to hear but let them speed it up cos i need to connect with the VO's thread/link back...!!!

ebjay: Dear Nairalanders

God is good. My student visa was approved on Tuesday 24th June 2014 I Lagos after 2 vista refusals in April and September 2013.
These were my odds
1. No standardised test written as GRE was not required for my course and TOFEL was not required for Nigeria.
2. My I20 stated $41k approximately 6.7million and I went for d interveiw with SOA of 1million.
3. I filled my cousin's details in Maryland as where I would stay during the period of my course because Indy previous application I had indicated of existence.
4. I am single and without a child.

Against all these odds God favored me the only documents requested was my letter of admission from UMD. NOTHING ELSE......


I will post the transcript as soon as I get hold ofmy laptop.

Congrats and enjoy your stay in Obamaland

domex007: Wow.. Finally NL is working again..
Tried to log in for about 2 weeks but wasn't connecting..
How are you all doing??

Are you sure its 2weeks? maybe is from your location because this started Sunday evening/night...

xron: Personal beef with the moderators i think..those who are behind this..

You mean Ogapatapata abi?

slimmy05: am really not happy attack on nairaland

Not only you.... I wish before month ending they can get it back to normal

RexNdubest: Alright! Quite appreciate. So, how about sevis number. It has asterisk which implies it is compulsory to fill. However, I can't pay for sevis without my i-20. That's what's holding me from continuing. What should I do?

Ask your school to send you scan copy so that you can print that out and use it to pay for your sevis fee

slimmy05: How do I check if there are closer available dates without cancelling the appointment

You will need to cancel before you see closer available dates

Congrats to all those who got their visas... Enjoy your stay in obamaland.!!!

Pray for us who are going to get our own soon by the special grace of God..

Frizzle: New box, winter jacket, winter shoe (Timberland),e.t.c.. Everything don set now make nextweek come quickly make Frizzle fly oversea...... Thank u Lord

Nah so ooo.. Here you come Obamaland!

Wishing you safe trip in advance!

seeker88: Wow!....finally!

Amefrica: Awwww Heaven knows I cant thank you enough.. Thanks so much brotherly. We shall celebrate.

Amen, we will surely celebrate cos this is our year of Advancement!

phemix: @imperiouxx, walspring and all great guys doing grt work on this thread, God bless you. Wen do admission outcomes surface for fall 2014 (graduate) and seeking GA

Thanks for the compliment.. As for admission outcome and GA, it depend on your school, i will suggest that you try check your school website to know know more about that or contact the international student unit and make inquiry on that either by mailig them or calling them.

You can wait as from mid february or early march for fall admission outcome should surface because by then school will have time for new applicant for fall cos right now shcools are attending to fresh spring students

castrogee: THE TRANSCRIPT OF MY VISA INTERVIEW
My number is 212
V.O
: Good morning (beaming with smile) how are you?
Me: I am very fine and you?
V.O: Ehm good (looked at the computer raised my form i-20 and started going through it) you are going to America right?
Me: Yeah that’s correct.
V.O: So what are you going to do in America?
Me: I am going to America for my MSc studies in Technology Management at the university of Bridgeport Connecticut.
V.O: Ehm why did you choose UB (kept going thru my i-20)
Me: From the result of the random searches I conducted online I discovered that UB has a good faculty ratio; a faculty ratio of 14:1 I consider it a good faculty ratio because it will give me quicker access to my college lecturers; also the tuition fee is affordable; a tuition fee of $16,000 to me is something that we can readily afford, furthermore UB is a good research institution with great laboratory like the renewable energy laboratory. But more importantly I had correspondence with some college professors such as Christian Bach, Neil Lewis and
V.O: (cuts in and started smiling and nodding his head approvingly) it ok; its ok …. Ehm so what course did you do in undergraduate?
Me: I did Computer Engineering.
V.O: Ok why did you change from Computer Engineering to Tech Management?
Me: Because Tech Management suits my career goals in the sense that it gives me the opportunity of writing the statement of work for all the personnel involved within the technology spectrum. Note also that as an engineer the knowledge of Tech Management will make me a hot cake in the labour industry because I will be seen as both an operator and also a manger. Furthermore Tech managers are in high demand in the market take for instance the revolution going on in the power sector when these power companies come fully on stream they will need the services of Tech Manager to manage their industries and turbines.
V.O: How many universities did you apply to?
Me: I applied to three Universities namely: UB, Howard University and NT&AT University
V.O: (kept nodding his head) ok good; good so why didn’t you want to pursue your MSc in Howard or NT & AT?
Me: First, Howard didn’t give me admissions it was only NT&AT that gave me admission. I choose UB because as an African I understand UB is amongst the most racially diverse universities in America.
V.O (nodding his head) ok good, so who will be paying for your tuition fee?
Me: My dad, do I show you his bank statement?
V.O: No, no; don’t worry (kept smiling and nodding) ehm you said your dad will be paying your tuition fee?
Me: Exactly both the tuition fee and the living expenses.
V.O: Good (at this juncture I was becoming certain that my visa will turn-out positive) ok what does your dad do for a living?
Me: My dad is a medical doctor with ……………………………as his clinic.
V.O: (he looked at me for some seconds say 4-5sec and started typing stuff in the computer) your dad is a medical doctor?
Me: Exactly
V.O: Pick up your passport on Thursday. Congratulations wish you safe trip! (handed me with the white paper)

Congrat bro.. Wishing you a nice stay in Obamaland...
