Hello Guys,
Please advice me on this. I got my F1 Visa in December but was unable to travel and the school said I can come in Summer.. But I am not sure I want to go in summer. Whats the probability of getting the Visa if I re-appear again in fall since my current Visa would have expired by August.

Please Urgent !
Why wouldn't you travel before your visa elapse? What happened to community colleges?

Why don't you use courier?.. Its 50-50 if you try to use the regular mail

It's costly because they are charging you for assured service...your package is sure to arrive and arrive quickly. Trust me you don't want to joke with your i-20. I know it seems costly but look at all the wahala you must have done to apply to school, get admitted, then receive i-20. You don't want to mess the whole thing with undelivered i-20. Just bone face and pay.

You don't need to re apply and go for another visa interview again because you have a year grace to enter USA before the 2 years visa expired which means you can still attend for fall semester..

You can risk it if you stay in Lagos and sometimes it takes 2 weeks or a month (if their head is valid in profojah2 voice) or more than a month but if you don't stay in Lagos do not try taking the risk..

Hello guys, I got admitted @ at a school. I have been searching for assistanship in my department. Now from info I gathered I would be able to get an RA from a Prof. that's into core Nuclear Research....asin...fusion and fission things.

Folks I read Mech Eng. I have never done anything in that area. My fear is that it would be a difficult switch.

I am in a quandary.


NB. The prof. Is in the Mech Eng.department

Even though I asked a question here and no one answered me . I will answer you coz I know a little about your question.
You have to send the certificate through mail but please from my experience with nipost last month I would advise you use courier service even though nipost is not always inefficient, it is a 50-50 thing.
I also sent my Unilag certificate to Wes through nipost but it didn't get delivered until I sent it through courier. My document got delivered the third day and my status changed on WES to awaiting verification from institution. All the best..

its not far,once u get cleared after arrival,ask the policemen u will see at the exit,they will give u direction on trains to take..or better still install uber or lyft app,they are way cheaper than patronizing those Pakistanis who from ur accent and body expressions can tell ur a first timer and exploit u..I paid over $80 during my time for a trip that costs not more than $10 according to the policeman I met...cheers

i would have assisted u to post ur certificate by asking u to scan and mail to me after which I will post it for u,but after my experience here I am a bit laid back..u can get anyone here to do same on ur behalf...or u go to any TNT now called courier plus office and send via them,it's way cheaper,during my time I paid 7k...cheers..

Hello Folks

I am a new member here. I have read through several posts here; i must say that I am quite impressed with your astute, sound and relevant advice.

As I prepare for my Graduate studies come Fall this year, I have questions on my mind. But let me start with these:

With my I-20 from, how soon can I apply for visa, considering the fact that Fall semester won't start until August/September?

Secondly, my passport will expire in December 2016 and I am sure you are aware that I can't get renewal from immigration before a six-month pre-expiry timeline. What do you suggest I do about this?
Thank you

Good day house,
I recently applied for an F-1 visa and i got rejected in december 2015. Now i want to apply to another university for summer session but a friend of mine who once schooled in the US told me there is a cheaper way to school in the US. He said i can go to a community college then later transfer to a university. My first question now is, what are my chances of getting a visa if i applied to a community college? Compared to a normal university. My second question is the other university which i was to attend but got rejected deffered my admission to summer also but they told me my I-20 was mailed through unregistered regular mail. How long does it take to deliver to nigeria?

Best regards!!

Some confusion here!
You need to apply to the higher school (university) to get a visa.
Then when you get to Obamaland, transfer to a community college.
But remember C.C. is a lower school and their certificates are worth less in the job market!

why was ur F1 visa declined?
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by cuteconnec: 5:37pm On Feb 09, 2016
Bros, i advice you to send email to the university to transfer your sevis details to the community college before you travel. Also inform the international students advisor at the community college to accept your sevis and prepare a new i20 for you.(after you get the visa to the university)
You can travel directly to the community college witgout having to show at the university after these steps.
Finally i dont think its a good idea to mention community college to the VO. Just tell him the universities you applied and why you applied there.

i had a similar transfer case between 2 universities.

Olacombs23:
hello house. i applied for 3schools in usa, 2unis and a community college and i hve their admission letters and 1-20. i intend going to the community college. but i just want to use the university 1-20 so they wont deny me visa. now my questions are


1: if i gt to usa, shld i go to the community colege state and start college and just forgt about the uni. hope there wont be any problem.
2.do the v.o's knows the school youve applied for already, cause they always ask the numbers of schools you applied for, can i say just the university and not tell d v.o i also chosed a community college or i shld tell the truth
Please hlp me out mates. My interview will come up soon

I think they require LORS. I sent in 2.....check their website the info is there.

As for contacting them. I think it would be better you call. That's more effective.

Thanks, I will call them later today. As per your admission, nuclear is some really strange shiitt. Maybe you can connect with current graduate students on Linkedin or fb.
