Please can anyone help with how to input school code while filling the sevis fee payment form? The long code don’t fit anywhere

Teddiement:
You don't have to input the "214F" again. The system has already done that. So you should simply continue with the next digit or character.

Hello gurus in the house
Pls advise 🙏🏾

A friend of mine just opened my eyes to how big of a flag my situation is.
My interview date is July 13th and school resumption is August 19th. I got an MPower loan of 64k(ikr!😄) and a sponsor(my workplace) 8k. No personal funds. My course is only for a year.

I knew the loan thingy is a flag but was hoping to defend it by giving good answers. E.g when asked "tell me about your funding" I'll be like "the company I've been working at as a Lead System Architect for over 6 years, where I also hold signatory to the company's account, will be sponsoring my part of my cost of attendance and for the remnant, I was able to secure a loan to cover it and since I'll be returning after a year, I'll be able to use my degree to secure more software development solutions in the country "
Is that good enough? Can you propose a better response?


If I'm to include personal funds to my application, it'd be to get proof of personal funds and send to my school to readjust my I-20, fill a new DS-160 adding the personal funds, pay a new MRV fee and start a new date search/apply for EA right??

Is it worth it? Or do I proceed with the current situation?

Pls advise🙏🏾

Please I am stuck...

1. As a Nigerian is there a way to Pay sevis fee here

Please if anyone has an answer please let me know.
