Exactly the reason for my comment. We need to define the link well for the benefit of party A and B. If A pays, is it sure that B will pay rather than telling the story of world's creation and vice versa. Kwizzy man, friends and relatives disappoints on the issue of SEVIS payment so, how do you think we can go about it so that every member of the house will benefit?

kwizzy212:

I have no problem making the payment before collecting the money.. I am just afraid to lose my money... Maybe we should do this send me your username on NL a copy of passport and i20 then if I Make the payment you then pay my money.. At lest I would know who I am dealing with

We can always discuss it here so others can learn from it too. I am open to talking privately too only if you have some private info you don't want to disclose in public. You know where and how to find me.

kofsy: Flynbird, pls take it easy dear! Just be calm... Then think! Think! Think! Worrying or being pissed will not solve the issue. Be concerned about the way forward now! At this time, using gieva is no longer an option. The only option is to go to cotonou. Get a good night rest tonight, and join the first bus leaving for cotonou tomorrow from oshodi. It is going to be well. pele luv. I see you eventually getting your visa with ease come wednesday.

@bigfrancis, you see what I was telling you about relatives? Smh

Walspring: Lemme tell you the truth.. You cousin deecided to use moneygram cos its cheaper while western union is cost.. Dont mind you cousin he is running for the western union charges... Just appeal to him and beg him in JESUS name to go back to MG and as for refund and he can go to WU and do it today and tomorrow or monday you will see your sevis receipt online and print it out.

Graham123: Please, I'll like to know if I can get a post graduate program admission in any college in the US with a third class honors degree equivalent of below 2.5CGPA (precisely 2.32 in my case, pathetic I know). My degree program was in Zoology (OAU). I'd like to know my chances, if any. I want honest answers however discouraging they may be, so far it is the truth. Not replies to stroke my ego or console my situation as that won't help. What are my available altervatives to study a graduate course in the US. UK is out of the question due to their relatively expensive tuition and living costs. Looking forward to replies from you guys.

here is the mail

Hello,
Thank you for being patient while I responded to your emails.

Unfortunately I cannot do anything to speed up your visa process or allow you to arrive late. My best suggestion to you would be to defer your attendance to our spring semester (January). You would then have plenty of time to schedule for your visa in the coming months.

I will begin deferring applications in the next couple of weeks. I would need to send you a new I-20 for a deferment.

Let me know if that is something you are interested in.

BigFrancis, this is an Abuja land line. Does this number also apply for those who wish to book appointments in Lagos?

theHanafis: @lamchux tnks

smoothcool: Please my school is resuming on 12th August and I need a date urgently,please if anyone is dropping his or her date in lagos please email me on adelekesamson2010@yahoo.com

Ms Nas:
I don't think thet tactic works in Lagos anymore . Everything is now automated, your number just pops up automatically. If you don't answer, they will keep using Public Address to call you

bigfrancis21:

Yes it also does apply to Lagos embassy. A friend of mine booked a Lagos appointment yesterday using the same line. The line is a central line that serves both embassies, though domiciled in Abuja.

Kehinde Oseni: Good day house, my interview is tomorrow 10am in Abuja but my SEvIS fee payment is still been process though payment has been received (called SEVIS). Should I still wait till evening or cancel my appointment. If I am too cancel it hope it isn't too late. I have sent a mail to DHS and I'm awaiting there reply.

Ms Nas:

hope4me2012:

Have you tried calling the embassy, and i hope you were not contacted to submit other documents after your interview, because this can prolong the processing period.

Another thing is if you got funding from your school, they might be verifying.

Kehinde Oseni: Thanks everyone for your concerns as per the SEVIS fee, it finally came up around 7pm and I've printed it. Looking forward to a graceful day tomorrow.

Ms Nas:
Okay, this is how it happened.
We were in a straight file before entering the interview hall. And as we entered, there was another line for the initial checking of docs. Those doing that are Nigerians, I presume. Okay, so immediately I entered and joined that line, the security guy asked me to bring the slip I had with me (which contained number 120) and gave me one, which is 119. I dunno where he got it oo. He then gave my 120 to the girl behind me, collected her own 121, and gave it to the person behind her, collected that one's 122 and gave him 121 and so on.

The line moved quite fast and 119 showed on a guy's screen. There, the guy asked for my documents, perused it and gave me back the rest, except for my I-20 and my DS-160. He told me to go and sit down and that I'll soon be called for biometrics. After a while, my number showed on counter 7, which is where they do biometrics and the lady already had my passports and docs with her. She did the biometrics, returned my documents to me and told me to take a seat, that I'll soon be called for the interview.

Lo and behold, I sat there for like one hour and my number didn't come up. Those that we came in together had loong gone. When I couldn't take it anymore, I approached a security guy and told him, he said I should go and sit down that they'll call me, but I was adamant cos they had loooonnng passed my number. He said OK then, once you see any of the VOs that are free, just go to him/her.

As luck will have it, I sat down in the row in front of the white lady and immediately she finished somebody's interview I went to her. She was like "Did I call you?" I said no, and I held up my number and said "see, they skipped me" She said "oooohhh, we're so sorry, but you can see I already called someone, kindly wait till I finish with her and you can come"

She was even the one that called me when she finished. She was like " will ticket number 119 please come forward?"

The rest is history oo.
My story is long, I know. Sorry

maxwello.yg:
A little bit confused. Got admitted into Naija university but wanna study in the States, hoping to travel maybe by August 2014. When applying to US school, do i apply as freshman or a transfer student? And can i resume school in january if i get visa before then? Is it easy for VOs to grant visas to transferring students? Advice/answers needed. Thanks

GboyegaD:

Your chances of getting directly into a Masters program is very slim however, some schools might give you an option to take some undergraduate hours to meet up for the Masters program which I can tell you isn't a bad idea.
