Come to think of it, I guess we've all accepted the 64k visa app fee? What about the Visa Officer who promised to get back to us?

Hey.. I had my interview Wednesday last week, same time and I stayed at a hotel called Corner 47, Very very close to obalende, It's at glover street in island..
So you can be able to meet ur appointment the following morning (obalende to embassy is 20 mins max).
Paid N4500 for a night And i think thats about the cheapest you will see there.
Good luck.

Yh! I got to the embassy around 5:45am for my 7am appointment. I lodged in Yaba since I am not based in Lag and took an Uber to Walter Carrington. It was a rainy day tho.

My short tip:
Study the transcripts on here but dont memorize. Develop your own answers to the questions
Work on your self confidence...Major Key
Above All Pray and Trust God...Tho I wanted the VO that interviewed me while on the queue but deep inside I was telling myself that whoever it is that will interview me...I am going home with an approval.

All the best guys....#TEAMFALL17

Hello House,

Please I need your advice. I plan to travel to Texas for my MS this coming Fall. My passport will expire by Feb 2018. I was at the Port Harcourt Immigration Office today with the hope of renewing the passport before applying for Visa. Unfortunately, I was told that renewal isn't possible since the expiration date is more than 6months from now. However, after explaining d reason for wanting to renew before d expiration date, the immigration officer said that only a reissue can be done, and that can be done only in Abuja Office. That it's a special case and as such, I'd have to pay at least 41k for the processing and also travel to Abuja for data capturing.

Now, if all these were to be done here in PH, I wouldn't really mind. But the challenge is on how to take days off work to travel to Abj coupled with d additional travelling expenses....fall application don suck my money finish . Please I'd like to know if I can travel with my old passport that will expire in Feb 2018 and renew it in US, because I don't know when I can possibly get a day or 2days off work to travel to Abj. This situation has created so many unanswered questions in my mind:

How easy is it to get passport renewed in US (Texas) and how much will it cost?

Will I have issue with my Visa interview consideration the expiration date on my current passport (Feb 18)?.....I hope to go for visa interview by June

Will there be any issue at POE?.....I intend to travel by July ending or beginning of Aug.

Please I need your advice and suggestion. Don't know what to do now.

For insurance, check ISOA as already suggested, or just google international student insurance and look up some plans and reviews. The main challenge would be the insurance you choose meeting the requirements of your school. If I were you, I would print out different policy details from different insurance companies/agencies that show coverage and take those to the international office to ask what they would accept before buying any.
Install dealnews,coupons.com,slingdeals apps on your phone to get good prices when you need to make large purchases.
A few stores like Best Buy,Fry's,Target also match amazon prices. So if you see something you want on Amazon, and it's available in these stores. You can get them for the price you see online without having to wait for shipping. 6pm.com has decent, affordable shoes.
Phone plans...if you get a shared plan (family plan) with few friends, you'd typically pay less but may have to always run after people for payments at the end of billing cycles or your line would be cut off till you pay. If you don't want to do this, there is Lycamobile,straight talk and many other low tier carriers. Check for the coverage in your school though.

Generally..cost of living is not as high in Mid west, so you should be good.

They come in both. Better to get unfurnished, and you can furnish yourself as you wish...to save money
