Hello bro firstly be calm ...I was in this situation as at Monday my school resumes on the 8th could only get a date for 13 January was quite worried and even more when my emergency date was denied but I prayed about it as it was all I could do...I immediately logged in and tried rescheduling and I saw a free date for DEC 30th I was so thankful and happy. So bro just keep praying and trying to reschedule a date might come in your favour...I wish you all the best
Thank you for your response. Please around what time of the day did you get the available date. I will keep trying

You won’t be leaving the airport all through the stopover. Hence, no need for a transit visa.

pls does anyone know the likely implication for a school requesting you to “state other university applied to” in your application
is it compulsory to state it? what is the effect if you did/didn't mention.

Hello everyone,

Please I do like to ask this question.

I want to apply for Fi Visa, I'm in a serious relationship that will lead to marriage any moment from now .

I'm thinking of getting marry before going for the interview. Time is too close for my resumption spring 2020.

What should I fill for my DS 160 my interview will be slated for December or so. Single or married?

Or can I come back during break to get marry ? and later apply for my wife to be an F2 visa .

Though if I fill single in my form is there a way around it when I get marry to her for her to apply for F2 to join me later?

Please i need a sincere reply. Thank you all.

As answered on Quora and Reddit, It's not compulsory at all, and it's advised to leave it blank.

Hello everyone.

I have gone through quite a number of messages on this forum and they all seem interesting.
congratulations to everyone traveling out already and to those of us still in the process, good-luck.

Please i love to ask if its a general thing in US or just some schools. I applied for a Masters program at Western Illinois University and Grand Valley State University with my National Diploma and Higher National Diploma certificate. I evaluated my transcript using WES where i had 3.06/4.0.
Unfortunately, i received a mail from WIU that they no longer accept ND/HND for masters application. An heart-breaker.

Please i want to know if there is anyone here who have successfully applied for masters in the US with the ND/HND or you know anyone who have and names of the schools that accepts the ND/HND Certificate and other helpful tips.

I will be reading through for positive replies.
Cheers
