Congrats!!! Just resend a copy of your travel insurance and dates as a reply to the email. When was your interview? If I may ask?
Maybe the dates on your travel insurance needs to start at a different date from the previous one submitted at the interview.

Interview was 8th October

Please I want to know what else to send if I have submitted all the required documents during interview including travel insurance and port. Buti just got mail requesting for the same set of documents with travel date. I know it's a generic mail but I would like to know if I still need to send anything to them or just reply the mail with travel date which already is indicted in the submitted travel insurance.

I would like to ask : doing affidavit for the purpose of Age declaration can I attach the port photo of just the parent that is alive or I must attach both. I am trying to use it for the blue card visa appointment.
Also I can't seem to find the form "Section 54 Paragraph 2 Nr.8 of the German Alien's Law. On the site.

The huge mistake has been done and cannot be corrected, either way both you and your husband had children outside your marriage. You still have to tell your husband there's no way around it, and also prep your sister to bring her daughter to your country after secondary education. You can start making plans towards that.
All can be worked around since you are a citizen already just plan towards your sister daughter university education in your current country

We keep winning

Big congrats dear, go forth and have a great success in the US

heybaby12:


What most ppl fail to understand is that your motivation letter speaks for you, use that Avenue to cover wasted years,bad grades,change of career path, sound smart but not arrogant.
I have read some motivation letters of people that have been denied and I almost cried.

Note: there are many reasons why one can be rejected.
At the end is not by your power.

Please can you kindly share a sample of a good motivation letter you have seen, can I PM you also?

Oasishavenng:
Long post alert.
I have been waiting a long while for this.
I wrote my first GRE 2014 (313), first toefl 2015(106).
First set of application was 2016, 3 schools ( university of Arkansas, West Virginia University and Wayne state university) 2 rejects and 1 it.

Rewrote GRE 2016 (320) and applied to 3 schools again. I had 1 it again. I went to the Embassy Aug 2017 and I was denied based on insufficient funds in the Statement of .

Started application late 2018 again, rewrote TOEFl (100) again as the first one had expired. Applied to three schools again.
Course: Industrial Engineering
Schools: west Virginia University, Texas A and M university and University of new haven.

And finally I got it in all three schools, got some sort of funding from all. I went with wvu and I finally got the visa.

Basically just saying that our dreams are valid and we should never give up on them. It will end in a win.
Will drop my transcript soon

Congratulations dear God bless your new journey.

Deustchemann:

It's almost at the eleventh hour but you can still find one or two places. But I'll advise, if you're not fixed on winter, aim towards summer Applications. Some can start opening by August. So you can get all your documents ready before then.

Thanks for the response will look towards that.

Please is it late to apply to schools in at this time for the coming entry in August. If it is whats the best time start getting ready to apply to. MSC (Engineering/IT related programs)

Brown2Green:


As far as you've not submitted your DS 160.
If you've submitted it, anything you change can stand stand against you .

Yes DS160 has not been submitted yet,

Hello Everyone, Is it possible to change the school one books visa interview with after the appointment has been scheduled?

Mikel2150:
Pls sir i am a new student trying to further my education at TAMUK but i get stuck with the transcripts part since i don't understand it. Can i send my transcript through Wes or directly/sealed envelop from my institution since i did HND in my undergraduate study. Your answer will be needed urgently

You can send a copy of transcript from school directly, or scanned copy by email for review purposes and they don't require evaluation too.

jerrypeacelinks:


Thanks once again. I appreciate. I am calm now. When is your interview? Make we dey mock up naw?

Not anytime soon... Fall 19 had in August was denied

jerrypeacelinks:



Thanks a lot for your response. But I further want to ask, I'm I supposed to take it to the bank for them to STAMP it? Earlier, someone stated that he was turned back at the embassy (for probably not coming with a stamped version of the receipt. Probably). I need more clarifications.

I do not know about that... I didn't take a printed version when I went and I want turned bank... They check the codes at cgi they don't need a stamp. But if you want to then no worries

jerrypeacelinks:
please I have an enquiry to make. I paid for my visa fee using th GTBank mobile app as it was on a Saturday and dates were quickly being taken. Now I want to know, which receipt (MRV) do I take to the embassy and how do I generate it? Kindly help a brother.

Go to gtmobile.com and to your internet banking then go to your transaction visa fee you should be able to see the payment there then print it

tonidgreat:
Congrat man, as for the tution, was it self funded or there was financial aid from the school?

I also studied EE in Naija here with a 2:1, and want to further in the field.

I fit PM you?

sure man

Heisenberglos:


Bro. May i have your email ?

send me a pm

Heisenberglos:


So after you aaked them, they granted you? I'd assume you have an above 300 gre score?

I asked the ission dept too, the lady told me my gre score didn't qualify me.

GRE score 300.. they just told me they have reviewed and if I qualify for any of the aid I will be given as at then I was not offered... so I didn't think about it until I saw it surprisingly so just hope it migh land never say never

Heisenberglos:


That's cool. Did you You personally write to your grad coordinator and recieve an out-of-state tuition waiver?

I did not write but i asked why I wasn't offered when I called ission office to enquire about my status

Heisenberglos:


I recently got ission to tamuk and i literally couldn't believe i stumbled on this gem of a thread by you. You've exhausted a very wide range of Valuable experiences and opinions. It's incredible. I have a question

I wasn't given an out-of-state tuition waiver but you made mention it is still possible to get one upon arrival, depending on how you pressure the office of graduate school. Can you detail that a bit?



You made

Bro did u write GRE also u could write to grad cord... didn't get the in-state tution waiver immediately after addmission was offered but i just got the offer not long ago.

MackyNaija:
To all the incoming students for Fall 2018 - keep worrying the graduate school and department, in-state will likely drop for you.

Park your bags and get set to leave. Ensure you have enough for the first year, they don't harass you to pay up during the semester but your phone will blow up by the next week after the semester ends. How do I know this? Ask google

Your profile will be on hold until you pay to the last dollar, without the hold being lifted you can not for the new semester. SO use your tongue to count your teeth.

"The streets" here are inactive - it's just you and your God. To get side hustle hard Dbanj winning a grammy but somehow, we keep pushing it till graduation.

In theory this is how it works, [s]pay the first two semesters, use internship money to sort the third, owe the fourth that I hear is handed over to a collection agency at 30% interest (not sure how this process works).[/s] Graduate and go find a job to sort yourself.

Make your dream a reality! Don't loose Hope! Tamuk is waiting, the US will reward you!


I have 3 rugged exams coming up, I'm out!

Hello Macky u haven't gotten the info on how to help send i-20... can u help pick up and send.

MackyNaija:

I'd prefer all our discussions remain here...

If you get itted and ask me to pick up your i20, then you will get to know me more.

Please try to understand tho I know say I no deh make sense.


Note: Weather don deh bend...
Abeg wetin 50mbps, sorry 50MPH wind speed feel like??

I just saw this one too... can u help pick I-20 should I send u a pm

MackyNaija:
Just back from school...

Visited the College Hall, Office of Graduate Studies - submitted my naija uni hardcopy transcript (used softcopy for ission processing) and also my Degree Certificate.
Restrictions on my /profile will be lifted, I can then do course registration.

Next was to the Student Union Building to get my student Identity card, was told it would be available by Orientation day or around that period.

If the I.D was given, I would have proceeded to the Library for Library I.D.

Picture below...

Bro plz does it mean u can submit your own hardcopy transcript when u get to school. instead of requesting your naija school to send them the transcript... I have just been offered addmission MS EE

Elfmannisback:

U knew it but found joy in asking.

I don't know o... I don even have an idea but i understood what he said now

Amakyzuu:

You need to scan your certificate and fax it to them using hellofax... Check page zero for steps to do the faxing.

thank u very much... that's the info I need

Amakyzuu:
I'm representing uniuyo... Its actually pg school I'm battling with. So far its been smooth, except that the school doesn't have official email address... I don't understand how backward uniuyo is... So now I have to wait for as long as it will take for the verification mail to get to the school. Pls can one pay for courier for wes to send verification to my school?

plz can u tell me how u evaluated with Wes in Lautech... cos Lautech have sent my transcript to dem but Wes still requesting for my certificate would I have to send the o Wes directly myself
