Hi guys, after payment on GTBank Mobile App for visa appointment online and a receipt is generated, what is the receipt number to be used for finalising interview booking, is it the entire reference number, some of it or some other number, kindly help, thanks.

Reference number is what you need to use and you will see at the bottom of the file sent to your email when open it since you used mobile app.

Hello everyone!
Please I need your opinion on this.

My passport will have a validity of 6 months and 1 day on my scheduled day of interview.

I have paid and entered the passport number on interview schedule since last year and I don't want to lose the money. Passport renewal may also take time from experience and I want to go for interview early.

Kindly advise if this will fly based on passport validity rule.

Go for your interview but make sure you apply for a new passport ASAP. The 6 month passport validity is required when you fly.

Hello everyone. Pls I have some questions I need clarification on.

1. Is the printed copy of my form I-20 received by email, valid for visa interview? Or must it be the hard copy shipped by the school?

2. What date on my I-20 do I consider for the 180days rule between; earliest admission date or program start date?. Thank you.

1. The printed copy is still accepted
2. It is 120 days rule not 180 days. You can only go for an interview within 120days to your program start date, i.e if your program starts date is August 16th, your interview date should roughly be between April 16th to August 15th. While earliest admission date is the earliest date you can arrive in the US, it is usually 30 days before your program start date.

1. Based on what my school told me, the rule has not changed. You can print the copy sent to you for interview.

2. The window is 120 days. Count your start date on I-20 120 days backward. Or simply 4 months 2 days backward.

I got my i-20 today, my major is Geological sciences but I applied and got admitted to Hydrogeology.
Could that be a mistake from the school?

The plane ticket itself can vary from $500 to $1100, depending on how far out in advance the travel date is from the day that you booked. Also, the US airport that you're landing in could make a difference. Two people I know booked their flights for $450 last year December, Lagos to IAD (Washington DC). Apparently, landing in DC seems to be the cheapest I've seen so far.

WES fee will cost more than that as you have to add the cost of sending your transcript to WES and paying for additional copies to be sent to any extra schools that you are applying to (only the first WES copy is free). This WES fee could also be waived if you choose to apply to schools that don't require WES from international applicants.

Hello Bigfrancis21, I sent you a PM on your email. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Martinogie9: 6:17am On Mar 23, 2021
Wow. Mine today makes it two weeks, (ten working days). What could be the cause of the delay? I submitted on the 5th of March and got a response on the 9th of March that I'll get the digitally signed I20 in the next 3 business days. But till now nothing. What do you suggest? Do I mail them?

Good morning all. Please is it possible for me to get admission and funding in a US school with my profile: GPA 3.82/5.0 and GRE score of 303 Quant (153) and Verbal (150). I have paid for WES evaluation but NASU strike in OAU is stalling the process. I will greatly appreciate your inputs and suggestions regarding schools I can apply to.

I had same issue with UI but a guy on NL helped me get it within 2 weeks. Those NASU staff do skeletal work and only treat cases of people they know or those wey get connections. I paid him though, you can explore that option
