castrotroy80: Hello house, am expected to be at school on 2nd of sept according to my I-20, but due to some family issues i have to remain in Nigeria till 5th of sept. I already informed the school explaining to them reason i wont be there on that date and i was told to expect an extension letter on Monday. My greatest concern now is the POE, hope there wont be any problem on arrival at the POE. Please urgent response needed

You're very much good to go!

Walspring:

Well nothing will happen on your arrival at POE provided you have the extension letter to show the immigration people at the POE..

You are good to go in Amefrica voice...

My nigga!

Amerinancy: My school is one of the best liberal arts college in the nation, nationally ranked, private, four year, residential liberal art college. Average class size of 15 students. we have about 1,300+ students. They do not offer graduate studies.

damine: Hi people. Thanks for all the posts, being following quietly and I have gained a lot. I have a few questions

-Any Nigerians in TROY uni, Shippensburg uni & NCAT? How are these schools?
-Is there any downside to self-sponsoring as far as visa interview is concerned?

Thanks.

bridestiny: Hello All,

I am a newbie here.
Tickets are so expensive now!

Is it okay to get a one way ticket to the US on a student Visa?
I heard there are some airlines that do not allow students with one way ticket to fly. Can anyone list a few airlines that accept this?

I hope flying on a one way ticket will not have any issue at the POE.

Thanks in advance.

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.

bigfrancis21:

I don't think that's true, except things have changed recently. Otherwise, you should book a one-way ticket to the US if travelling on a stuent visa since you are not coming back in the next 6 to 12 months I suppose. Almost every F1 student traveling to US books a one-way ticket. Yours should not be an exception.

meekpie: Hello house, greetings to everyone in here. I have found this house to be very informative in the fairly short period I have been observing as a guest. I have two questions that I hope the house can answer for me:

1.) I heard recently that it is now possible to make outbound western union payments from Nigeria, does this mean that the SEVIS FEE can now be paid from Nigeria? If so which banks are compliant so far and if not, what is the best possible method to pay the SEVIS FEE as of now (lol sorry I guess this is actually more than one question in one)

2.) What is the earliest possible time one can book a visa interview before resumption date? For example in my case resumption is in January 2015 and I-20 is at hand.

Really looking forward to your candid and informative answers. Thanks

desy24444: Pls I nid assistance on how to go and do my masters in anesthetic nursing in USA including how to get scholarship.thanks

juntod:

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:

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.
