Thanks alot @Bigfrancis21, MsNas, Juntod, Rijo and others, I went back to the Social Security Office today and the man confirmed the error was from him that it should be ready in a maximum of 4 weeks. I'v done all the paper work at the HR and I'v been authorized to start work while awaiting my SSN. I really appreciate you guys. 3 Likes |

teddyrain: please I need to be cleared on how to transfer since they know you got your visa. If you want to transfer, can you go to the cc direct and then inform the school on your passport you are transferring ? Or going to the college on your passport, then transfer later. Which one is better please guys how best can this be done successfully? Go straight to the ISSO of the school on your visa. Make sure you are with the I-20 of the CC. Show it to them and tell them you are transferring your SEVIS info to the CC. They have no reason not to oblige. Make sure you go before resumption date of both schools. |

bigfrancis21: Thank you Francis, what I'm really curious about is if a student visa can be issued on it with a visa expiry date longer than the passport's expiry date? |

I'v done all the paper work at the HR and I'v been authorized to start work while awaiting my SSN. I really appreciate you guys. I am happy you resolved the issue finally. Such a case is unheard off. 46 weeks is 4 to 5 weeks short of 1 year(52/53 weeks), and you were asked to wait that long before. Totally absurd. Congratulations bro. You should get your SSN in about 2 weeks though. I got mine in 3 days. I was at their office on a wednesday and by saturday my SSN was already in the mailbox. |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by bigfrancis21: 12:25am On Aug 23, 2014 |
meekpie: Yes, so far as the expiry date of the passport is at least 6 months ahead of the month the visa is going to be issued. That is, there must be at least a 6-month gap between the passport's expiry date and the month your visa is expected to be granted. If, say, your passport expires in december and you are going for your interview in may(7 months apart), that will not hinder your visa process if granted, but if your passport expires in december and you are going for your interview in august(4 months apart), there will likely be a problem. In that case if your passport is not at least 6 month old from your intended visa interview month, you would need to renew your passport. This will also save you the stress and cost of travelling all the way to Washington DC to renew it here in the US especially if your school is far from DC given that the Nigerian embassy is located only in Washington DC. |

bigfrancis21: Thanks bro. And please what actually determines how long it takes to get the SSN?.. coz I'v heard of people who got it in like 4-5 weeks and some who got it in a week and even days just like you. |

Amerinancy: True!! Some schools do that. My advisor told me they do it. That's why such schools might even ask you to deposit tuition or enrollment fee to see how much determination you have to study there. But they do it for students if they are on scholarship. If not, you are on your own. wanna ask if your school have graduate course cos someone said they dont do Msc in your school and i was astonished to hear that.. |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by bigfrancis21: 2:07am On Aug 23, 2014 |
Ashigolo: I can't really say actually. I guess it depends on the backlog of applications they have or on the quickness of the officer who's processing your application. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by bigfrancis21: 2:16am On Aug 23, 2014 |
meekpie: You're welcome. According to the instructions on the US website, it says (For all applicants) An international passport validhttp://nigeria.usembassy.gov/mobile//non-immigrant_visas.html Apparently they are not strict on the requirement listed above and they continue to stamp visas on soon-to-expire passports. |

bigfrancis21: Actually my US visiting visa will expire in 2016 and the passport itself in 2015, so you may actually be right, but I felt that when it comes to student visas it's a different ball game, is there a way to confirm this sir? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by bigfrancis21: 4:49am On Aug 23, 2014 |
meekpie: It's still the same thing for student visas. Ricky Rozay's visa expires by ending of next year but his international passport expires this year. His passport was stamped with a visa last year despite the passport's expiry date coming before his visa's expiry date. |

slimmy05: Correct. Gun for PhD bro. Try and aim high in your GRE, target fall 2015, more funding are always available. I won't rewrite I mailed my admission officers and they said my high gre verbal score and high toefl score (113) aswell as my GPA are more than enough to offset any quantitative blip. So I'm going ahead with the application Thanks for the encouragement my brother It is well with all of us |
