Please guys do I have to wait for the school to send the I-20 and SEIVS form before booking for an interview? Please i know this might be in previous thread, but this is urgent cos u am about paying for booking at the bank. Please guys. Will I be needing this forms to fill my visa booking online? Or will they ask for any of the forms at the bank?
Thanks guys

you need your sevis number, which is usually on your i20 to be able to complete your ds160 form and for appointment. If your school can send you those information. Then you're good

NIPOST isn't as bad as you have painted it. I have used NIPOST 3 times. For 3 different destinations in the US and they never failed me. All you need do is send with the one that issues tracking number and with that you can monitor your document. Within 10 working days, it'll get to the desired destination in US. It now depends on how soon you want your document to get there. It'll cost you between N1,200 and N1,500 depending on the weight and same document will cost you between N10k and N14k using DHL or other courier outfits and it'll get there in 4 or 5 working days. The choice is now yours.
NIPOST can be that bad. A document I sent via NIPOST has spent about a month already in New York. Another time I sent 3 documents to the US, 2 arrived and the other never did. If the money is there, no body should risk NIPOST.

hello guys,
I need your assistance in choosing the school i should choose for my masters in Electrical engineering. I have been offered admission in 3 universities right now namely;
1) southern Illinois university edwardsville. (SIUE)
2) Wayne state university, Detroit, Michigan (WSU)

3) University of Kentucky
I'm supposed to resume by spring 2016, i already have i-20 forms from two of the schools. i think i am having a had choice choosing between WSU and SIUE. Tuition in SIUE is cheaper by $5,000 and the department boosts about assistantship after first semester, that was what was pushing to go for the school, but now i am thinking to myself if this is actually a good school to go to. Someone should please assist me with facts that will help me narrow down my choices.
nywer u hear michigan...run....

Well I get your point bro. But then it's as good as saying others shouldn't apply to a particular school because one was denied admission.

Good evening brothers and sisters in the house, have been following your comments on the usa-visa enquiries part 8, am really overwhelmed with the vast knowledge you guys have amassed. presently am a final year student of Electrical/Electronics Engineering doing my final year project with a CGPA of 4.40 presently and intending to do my masters programme in the united states..am begging you to please give me full tutoring on how to go about the masters programme and which university is best fit for my match..
Cc: bigfrancis21, slimmy and prof

Hi Freshboi34. Are you a Unilag student? I am also studying Electrical/Electronics engineering. However, I'm in my fourth year but i intend to do my masters when i'm done. So I'm gathering all the information I can right now. Please how can I contact you? I'll like to ask you some questions. I've tried sending a pm but i don't think it's delivering

Go to SIU Edwardsville. During my school search I checked the school and also SIU, Carbondale, the schools are competitive and education facilities is excellent. Wayne state uni is excessively expensive, a private uni (I think) my cousin got admission for msc engineering last yr and his tuition was almost 8m. lol. All the best in your decision @Donseaun

Get a paypal account at www.paypal.com
Connect your naira master card account to your paypal account. I strongly recommend StanBic for this, because of their minimal rate.
When you get to the point you have to pay for the exam while registering, check out with your paypal details.

As simple as ABC, bro.
how much did stanbic charge you, n do they issue visa card?

Stanbic charged me 199 when I registered for the GRE but 220 recently. I don't know if they issue visa card. You can try Fidelity bank.

Its same with most banks. GTbank is like 222 to 223.

Yes. I only recommended stanbic initially because they used to be different. They maintained 199 for months while other banks hovered around 220-235. Bloodymitch said something about Fidelity's rate being around 199, reason I asked that he tries it.

It's different when you're buying BTA. When it's online transaction they use that criminal exchange rate.

While we are preparing for our student visa applications/admission processes and celebrating our successes in obtaining our visas, one core issue we have not been discussing is how Nigerian students can raise extra pay apart from the campus jobs. What vocational skills or what are the means through which students can raise money. We need to discuss this so as to ease the pressure on us.

Pls this request is from a friend of mine. He needs to know where he can get a divource certificate that will be acceptable in the US for his marriage to his new US citizen. He actually divourced his Naija wife long ago in a small customary court in ipetumodu, osun state but u know US might not be able to verify that divorce paper issued from the small city/village in ipetumodu, so he is now looking for where to get the divorce certificate that is verifyable in case the US will verify.
Pls assist
