zeezahbee: its not a problem, if you havent submited your ds160, just edit the passport number and on the appointment booking page also you do same. affidavit or watever, you still need to edit it, it wont take you anything to fill a new ds160 if you submitted already.
Go with your mom account, going with the company account will make it look more like you spending the whole company money on yourself plus i still remember your question, i doubt if your course is in anyway related to what the company do. so your mom account and yours is berra

castrotroy80:

Thanks zeezah, but am sorry to ask this. Hope the school does not share information with the embassy, i mean the information i used in applying for admission. Though it was the old passport i used to apply for admission and at the time i was filling the ds160, i used the new passport number.
My question now is does the school one is going share students information with the embassy?

juntod:

Even if they share, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you have documents to back your claim and that the new passport obtained bears exactly the same name on your old passport.

Scenario: If you have a visa on a passport and misplace it before travelling, they will issue another one on a new passport bearing the same name without any objection. Compared to your case, you have no problem at all. Just like Zeezahbee said, make sure all your visa application documents have the new passport number.

exxy:

-Please it is necessary/ mandatory you take a standardized test(undergraduate=SAT), even if it can be waived by your school, but for embassy sake, it's necessary.
-application processing fee is the only thing you need to pay
-Don't pay tuition unless you've gotten Visa, meaning ,you should only pay your tuition when u get to The US
Hope this helps, Good luck !!

First, your submission of SAT/TOEFL depends on your school's requirement. Some schools ask for both exams, some ask only for either of them. Now concerning TOEFL, despite the fact that Nigeria is English-speaking, some schools still don't recognize her as an English-speaking country and still go ahead to demand for TOEFL from Nigerians. While some schools recognize her as anglophone and waive the TOEFL requirement from Nigerians. It all depends on the school you're applying to. Tailoring your search options, you could specifically select schools that don't require TOEFL from Nigerians if you really don't want to write TOEFL. However, I strongly advise that you take the SAT exam even if your prospective school needs it not, especially for embassy purposes. There's a higher denial rate for non-SAT holders than there is for SAT-holders. Having SAT gives the VO the impression of a serious student.

Second, no other fee after application fee. However, there are other little fees you might have to pay after being given admission, such as to pay courier fee to have your I-20 mailed to you by courier. Then also, SEVIS fee of $200 and visa booking fee of N26,400 (that was during my time last year. Don't know how much it is now. I've become old school like a Nigerian man I met here last month who left Nigeria since 1983 who still thinks Bendel state exists. )

Third, for most schools you only pay tuition after you arrive here and school has started, usually within the first month of class resumption. But for some schools with a record of dishing out admissions and I-20s to Nigerians who never show up at school during orientation and afterwards(Nigerians desperate to leave Nigeria who use school admissions to get visa, enter into the US and never show up, thus leading to loss in financial revenues to the school. Each student who doesn't show up is tuition and fees not paid to the school bursary), they demand for part payment of tuition before releasing your I-20, to ensure you're really serious about studying.

I hope your questions are answered now. Feel free to ask your questions.

pixietop: Good day House,

How long does it take for the F-1 visas to be issued? The VO said thursday(A week from when my visa was approved). My plight is I have a 2 week work trip booked on the 14th, I need to know if I should change my flight to 15th or 16th which would cost me a whole lot, or stick with the flight for 14th night if it's sure I would get my passport on the 14th.... I actually thought it was three business days.

godG: Just imagined something. Guys, have you ever thought of booking your flight even before your interview? That is the way to go for me. When the time comes, once I get my I-20, I'm most likely gonna book my flight. #MindOfAgod

Bigfrancis did same!!

osahons9:

You will get it on the 14th. Usually it's 3 business working days. So I would stick around till 14th n if no news, before I change date. Hope you can reschedule anytime? I think that will save you some money.

Amefrica: Hello house!

Is Eja panla (Stock-fish) allowed while checking in, also at the Point of Entry (Toronto not New York)? I'm traveling with a lot of it..

Joenice: I love stock-fish Please can you give me some?

Sure, why not??

Idazbawz: sire... since your admission package is in transit, go ahead and make the payments(SEVIS and visa fee) email your school to scan u a copy of your i20, you'll need it during your SEVIS payment.

Speaking of sevis payment, why cant u just go and pay it via western union at cotonou?? Wen is yur schoil resuming.. well, payment through check/money order can be made after filling your payment coupon(can be found at fmjfee.com) online, then print it out.... scan it to your Frnd in US; he'll need to mail the coupon alongside the money order to SEVIS i901 mailing address(its boldly written on their website)

Good luck

aanowai:

Idazbawz, thank you my brother.

Pls what if my school can't send me a scanned copy of my I20? Isn't it possible to proceed with paying my SEVIS and visa fee without my I20? What info do I really need from my I20 to make payment of my SEVIS and visa fee?

Pls ur advise on this particular question is of utmost importance.

Which do you think is faster? Paying my SEVIS fee via western union from Cotonou or paying thru my friend in U.S. I really think paying thru my friend in U.S is kinda complicated.. Pls explain and advise me, my brother because my school's orientation is on 20th and resumption date is 25th.. I want to do this quickly so that all these can be sorted out b4 the arrival of my admission package. Thank you.

Joenice: Ok good. Post your transcript to help those in darkness.

Congrats.
