Praise the Lord!!!..... I want to testify of the goodness of God. God did it for me. Remember i posted on here i was going for my visa interview on the 4th of August??... Well, i went and i was denied for no tangible reason. I felt hurt, disappointed and sad but i thank God for family & friends around me, they advised me to re-apply for a new visa appointment and i did. I paid for a new visa fee and was able to get another available date for 23rd of August. So i went for my visa interview on that date & guess what??.... I got it!!!... It was all the Lord's doing, nothing short of it. God is indeed a blesser and a perfecter. When i was first denied, i thought of all i had been through to get to where i was, i had spent soo much money and invested lots of time into this grad school journey and i thought it wasn't fair so i committed to re-applying. Thank God i did & i got it. So my advise to prospective Int'l students, even when you are denied, don't give up, think of everything you've put into it and steer on, never give up.
Below is a break down of all my expenses, no be small thing ooo....
GRE - N35,500 (wrote with First Logic, Oba Akran Ikeja, Lagos)
TOEFL - N32,000 (wrote with Symkol educational centre, Surulere, Lagos)
Application fees - Approx. N120,000 ( I applied to a total of 6 schools with the least application fee being $55. I also sent my GRE scores to each of the schools that's about $23 to send to each school)
SEVIS Fee - $200 (about N32,000)
Visa Appl. Fee- $140 (about N22,400)....
