Phd at an Ivy league Uni, fully funded. I am currently in Berlin but my hubby is in Naija. Shall I apply for F1 alone in Germany and let her apply for F2 in Lagos or come to Naija to apply together? Also, she is about 2 months pregnant rn. Will that affect her chances of getting a visa? The University has funding for dependants n children up to $20k, so money is not really an issue.
Big congratulations!

I hope all the other processes get sorted out smoothly.

Why not just do the application in Nigeria and have peace?

Looking at costs and time. Busy with projects in Berlin and i visited nigeria some weeks ago. Coming back in like a month after is just stressful.

Good day house.please do I still need a new SEVIS FEE as I got one last year June 2nd which I use to apply for visa for Fall intake last year but got denied. Now I got a new admission letter now for Fall intake this year 2023 waiting for I-20 to apply for visa.what if I got a Visa interview date after June this year,does that mean the SEVIS FEE has expired that I can't use it again and have to get another one. Thanks.

USA F1visa renewal on OPT.
Hello all, has anyone tried renewing their F1 visa while on OPT/STEM OPT? My visa expires July 2023, currently on OPT but I want to know if anyone has renewed their F1 visa on OPT or if they have tried using Dropbox while still being in the US. Thanks

Your SEVIS fee expires on June 2nd 2023, it's only valid for a year from the payment date.

Congratulations sis.
Is it safe to say that Louisiana State Uni put me on waiting list since I have not gotten decision from them? I even sent them additional material but they didn't even acknowledge it.
HaleemahYinusa:


It was a white woman that interviewed me. It was the last window by the right (can't remember the window number)inside one small office like place sha.

VO: oh you're going to school in Louisiana

Me: Yes

VO: How are you going to afford this( something like that I can'treally remember)?

Me: My dad is sponsoring me. He is a senior manager at .... bank

VO: Your dad is a banker?

Me: Yes

VO: How long as he been working there?

Me: Over 15 years now.

VO: So why did you choose this school in Louisiana.

Me: I chose ULM because I loved the fact that they held virtual information sessions where-

She cut me off

VO: Did you get accepted by other schools?

Me: Yes. 3 other schools

VO: Name them?

Me: The university of Michigan Flint, Norwich University and William Patterson University of new Jersey.

VO: Okay so you chose this because because you liked that they held information sessions?

Me: Yes. I was able to enquire more about scholarships, school of nursing etc.

VO- Oh okay. Do you have siblings?

Me: Yes I do. My older sister is-

VO:How many?

ME: 3 siblings.

VO: Your said your older sister is where? Here in Nigeria?

Me: No. She's currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Texas.

Vo: Oh North Texas.

Me: Yes. She's currently in her 2nd year.

VO: Okay. Have you traveled out of Nigeria before?

Me: No I have not.

VO: Okay. Give me a minute.

Then she started typing.

Then she said Congratulations I'm going to be granting your Visa. Itll be ready in the next 5 days. Always keep your I20 with you.

Omo I wanted to scream and start jumping.

Then she picked the white paper and joined it with my I 20.
Then she said Oh you know you can't travel more than 30 days before your expedited date.

I told her yes yes I know that.

Do sevis transfer. You will login to fmjfee.com, retrieve old sevis and transfer to new one. You don't need to contact any school for this. As far as you transfer the sevis before june 2nd, you are good.

What's your discipline? I have an admit from LSU, waiting for funding.

Seems we applied to similar schools because I can recall you also applied to KSU.

No bro, i didn't apply to KSU. Chemistry. What's your own discipline?
Having done some research online, I would say that April 15 will be key in all these. I think you will get funding also.
Goodluck to us.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Gokoyer0(m): 11:21am On Apr 04, 2023
In this our STEM field, once there is no funding available, it's almost impossible to get admission particularly in PhD..
Bro, what's your CGPA? Do you have any research papers? Are you working presently?
If you have decent profile, you need to restrategize.
God go bless your hussle!
