What has that got to do with anything? Are you that depressed? I’d see a psychiatrist or psychologist or any mental health professional to help you. You need help!

The typical empty bluster from the average low intellect Nigerian. I would suggest you focus on your objective for being here. Don't worry about my mental health, it's in excellent hands.

Zihno:


So, no stats? We should just take your words for it?

You don't have to do anything...

Zihno:


Ignore you. Seeing that you really aren’t smart.

Dude, you're looking for schools as far-flung as Thailand... ok.

Zihno:



Your thought process and jumping on my post is what’s absurd. The vast majority of schools accept unofficial transcript and gre score for the initial review process and only ask for the official files after you’re recommended for ission. DO NOT BE STUPID OR ANNOY ME.

Now that you're annoyed, what are you going to do about it?

Zihno:


Any stats to back up this absurd and racist claim?

I've been here long enough to see the ebb and flow. Feel free to disagree, but the quality of the thread has diminished. It's mostly filled with blowhards like you, no surprise.

BigIyanga:

I dont see anything wrong with Naija applicants asking to know the name of the school. The school is not going to lower their standards to accommodate all applicants. Once their funding pool is dried up, new applicants will be required to bring $$ if approved.
Some schools love having Naija students come to their programs.

Fair enough. But viciously bullying people for choosing not to state the name of their school is wrong. The name of the school has nothing to do with the purpose of the thread.

Louis8796:
OK, are the jobs for Entry level data analyst in the USA.

Not sure what you are asking for. There are entry-level data analyst jobs everywhere.

shegzhkn:


Rank and file or real manager ??, Did you move from a technical background to be what you are now ??

Manager with direct reports. Yes, started out from a technical background.

shegzhkn:


What do you do ??

Business manager for an O&G.

247Hustler:
You didn't reply my mention 🤔

My apologies, how would you like to connect?

BigIyanga:

But financial aid is not considered a loan??

Depends on what it is. If it is a scholarship/TA/GA/work-study/grant, then that doesn't come with an obligation to repay and is ok. A loan is a different story. You have an obligation to repay.

Louis8796:
How did u get to Texas?

Got moved here by my company from Pennsylvania.

planetx:
Generally the US health care system is not free like you have in the UK or Canada, but you have programs like Medicare for seniors and she can also use emergency services in hospitals. My opinion is just speculation on why she was denied at her age which before is unusual but Nigeria don cast now even elderly people dey japa.

You have to qualify for Medicare and it is not available for visitors. Emergency services are also taxpayer-funded so understandable why the VOs would not want anyone to come to burden the system.

Davegabriel:
Hello everyone,

Please I need your help, if I apply for financial aid from my university will it be a problem for getting my F1 Visa approved because the school will include the loan I have secured from the university in my I-20 and I don't know if that will be a problem for the consular to approve my visa. I already have a scholarship and the school offers loans for international students.

This will be a challenge. You will need to pay the loan back at some point, which suggests to the VO that you have no intention of leaving after your studies and clearly cannot afford your study.

Mattinno:
Please I would like to ask this question , for the gurus in the House , As an International Student In the UK with a Valid Visa , I would like to ask is it possible to apply to the United States for a Visit Visa , even without going to a Schengen country , Just to a tourist Visa to the United States and what are the chances of getting the visa

Your chances are good. Feel free to apply.

MyFlair:

No I applied to two; one MSc and one PhD. Got the PhD, the MSc is still under departmental review

You'll be fine. Excellent school and program + full funding should put you in good stead for your interview. Good luck and don't let anyone bully you again.

Zihno:


I previously checked out their mechanical engineering MS program and their Environmental Science PhD program and I don’t think their MS in Mechanical Engineering funds their students and the PhD requires one to find a supervisor. The fact that they require official transcript and gre score is even more annoying.

They should just give you free education without doing anything on your part? Absurd.

BigIyanga:

I no need to sabi u Mr Sabinus wey dey hoard basic info.. by your singular act, you have shown that you’re a selfish . W[b]e’re encouraging young, motivated and driven Nigerians to apply and get itted[/b]… but you’re worried about ur selfish self. Good luck in your lonely journey.

"Motivated and driven Nigerians" do not need to know your school and program. They already have their own plans and are here to exchange ideas. The majority of folks here are not interested in going to school, are not motivated, and have no idea what drive is. Hence why they get super angry if you don't share your school name. Let's be sincere, he has gotten far more abuse than fraudsters on this thread while legitimate questions and requests go unanswered. Why? Because too many hang out in the shadows, waiting for someone to drop their own success story so they can simply copy it verbatim. We see it here all the time, one person gets lucky at one program and all of a sudden, entire Nigeria is now applying to that program.

This thread worked better in the old days when everyone had their own plan and this was a way to compare notes and ask detailed questions. Today 10% are doing their work, 60% are hiding around waiting to copy and the remaining 30% are just wasting everyone else's time.

MatanBoka:
You mean you mentioned the school after people started calling you out

The wait time can be frustrating and sharing a school name could help alleviate someone’s frustration. And most times, people say “congratulations!” and just pray they get an offer - not to wish yours is rescinded.

...and that right there is why everyone is flailing him for not sharing the name of the school... not because they care about him at all.

MamaOO:


You’re gatekeeping school and you’re expecting people to come forward with information for you? No be juju be that? Nigerians! SMH. will mentioning the name of your school cause them to rescind your offer?
Go to the phd channel and see how people help themselves. Nigerians and crab in a bucket mentality na 5&6.

If you are an aspiring PhD and you have this mentality, omo, you need to work on a lot of things. Smdh.

Meaningless. Many of the people angrily demanding for school aren't doing so for altruistic purposes... merely for their own selfish interest... and that is the hilarious part of it. They don't want to do any work, just tell them about the school so they can apply too.

Zihno:



Why the secrecy? A lot of people share their school, their academic profiles etc on forums all the time. Maybe it’s a Nigerian thing because this isn’t the norm on Reddit.


You can’t book an appointment yet. You need the 1-20 and you should pay the sevis fee too. Electronic (Emailed) I20 are acceptable. There’s enough time for visa waka. August is still far.

There is a reason... most on Reddit are genuinely there to help you. Most here are intellectually lazy and looking to simply copy your exact scenario. If he mentions the school and program, rest assured that the program will be deluged with applications from Nigerians in no time, all asking for the same thing.

Louis8796:
Can we discuss or chat?

Discuss what sir?

NotKnown:
They have come with another one again o

These people live in climes where malaria is not endemic. They are essentially making a vaccine to protect you and your children. What have you ever come up with?

Following. I live in Texas as well.

In winter it's also a way to de-ice the plane.

NumeroUno7:
See sweet sweet structures na chai.. OP I took note of a place you said many places in Ontario looks like Downtown (which is likened to the Maitaima and Banana Island in Nigeria) unlike the US.
Please are you saying, take away the US hype, that Canada is better structured with more beautiful places than USA?

lol no way... the US is several times better. You'll find a Toronto in far more places in the US.

VeryWickedGoat:


This BS wey una don dey use console unasef for 50 years now. 😅🤣

Russia also has "classified state secret" weapons. Fact is, the ones we know, the US cannot match Russia's.

End of.

...and you know this from the safety of your house in Nigeria?

VeryWickedGoat:


1. You are not an American. You are a bloody Naija civilian.

2. You obviously missed the part where it is said that the missiles are unstoppable. Blow the frigate all you want but you will burn to ashes before your missile even locks on to its target. 😁

Zombie.

1. Yes I am American.

2. You obviously missed the part where you can hit a ship with missiles well before they can launch their own missiles. Also, just because Russia called it "unstoppable" doesn't mean much. Certain US weapons are classified state secrets...

WriterNig:


🇷🇺 Russia is the all consuming 🔥 fire and the U.S knows it. Only 1 Satan-II Nuke 💣 can turn the whole of Texas to radioactive dust and ash. They have dozens of them.

The only country in the world that can fire missiles near U.S & NATO war planes. They did it last year while ✈ flying near Alaska.

They fear no one.

Is that why they are whining about supplying Ukraine with war tanks?

VeryWickedGoat:

US sabi fear anything. This is not even up to a tenth of what they dish out to others.

The average American isn't concerned. This isn't even on our local news here... that's how insignificant this is. 100% chance we have nuclear-armed submarines just waiting to blow the frigate out of the water at a moment's notice.

Shokoloko:

There is something called filing for an adjustment of status.
They do not have to remain illegal for more than 5 years if she follows the footsteps of others who succeeded.

you cannot simply file adjustment of status just because you want to. You have to be on a valid visa to do that… ”marrying” for a visa looks like her only option

Makes no sense. She got a visitors visa and has condemned her kids to illegal immigrant status in the US?
