    Thank you Amara. Please I have a crucial question. Pls if I started my visa application but they said I have another account that has my exact personal details but with an email address of a different account. There are 2 options. Whether to transfer my account to the previous one which I don't even have access to or to reach out to the help desk or help line of the visa application and send a mail attaching my data page for complaint. Please advise me please

    • @AmaraOsuji

    I have a question, what can you answer when you're asked why you want to go to a Community College when you already have a Bachelor's Degree and already working in a different field from what you intend to study at the community college?

    • @AmaraOsuji
      @AmaraOsuji  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I really don’t know what a good response to this would be since it’s not a good look at all. If you already have a bachelor’s degree, why then are you going to a community college for a potentially lower degree?

    You start the process from the middle. How do you find a school that accepts the program you need. And if you have a diploma and need to study for degree in USA what's that's called. Because they have what's called undergraduate... what's that equivalent to in other countries

      Well, it's not advisable to apply to only one school. However, if you already did this, you should find two or three other schools that you can say you applied to during your interview if the question comes up. I know for sure that visa officers don't like to hear that you applied to one school even if you got into said school.
