I think it is the 4th option there, the first one is more Those seeking to renewal their F1 visa

Bro can I try this? I submitted a request for an interview last week Friday, for Lagos, so can I change to Abuja on my CGI profile then request, and the when approved change back to Lagos to schedule an appointment? I'm a bit skeptical about the process... PS, I've not paid my SEVIS fee yet.. please advise

Yes you can do the above. It isn't dependent on your SEVIS fee payment status.

Good morning everyone,
I need advice from experts in the house please.
I have a one-year old born here in the UK, and she has a Nigerian Passport.
But she only had UK birth certificate - No UK passport, Not on any Visa here.
Now I got an admission to study in the U.S and I have to enlist her in the application.
Now, here is my concern,
Can she use the Nigerian Passport to apply for US Visa without being on any status here?
Kindly enlighten pls


Hey 🤠

1. If you need to travel outside the UK your baby will require a passport (Nigeria P or UK P) or travel document and she will also need a dependant visa to re-enter the UK.

2. Why not cool down and get the British P for your daughter first ? Secure your daughter's future . Although she can still travel along with the Nigerian P and process her UK citizenship later but you can just sacrifice this year admission for her and use it to process her British P. Anything can happen .

3. However , if you are a Briton yourself you may take her along on F2 . She can always process her British P afterwards.


Best Wishes 🙏

Hey 🤠

1. At the Supermarket, Can you dip into your pocket and pay for an expired products ?

2. Spring 2024 is gone my friend. The consular would deny your visa and you would be on your way to paying another visa fee after labelling you an unserious student.

3. Do you want to have patience or you still want to proceed ?

4. Email your admission counselor or your school to make it snappy in sending an electronic version of your I 20 to you . Explain the F1 appointment time frame to them.

No you may not. The I-20 must reflect the updated resumption semester.

Good afternoon everyone. I want to create a WhatsApp group chat for fall 2024 student visa applicants where we can collectively search for dates, majorly in Lagos (Abuja too can join). If you’re interested, email me your phone number so that you can be added to the group.

It’s a group to help each other

Hello everyone,
Please, are there any groups that conduct mock interviews? It’s urgent as my interview is in 2 weeks. Thank you
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by thumbsme(f): 3:49pm On Apr 17
Thank you for your response.
Of course, I have an important reason for wanting to relocate.
Now, I am not Nigerian, and she's got Nigerian Passport already,
however my concern is if she needs to be a dependant here to be eligible to apply for USA visa .
Can you shed more light please?

Hey 🤠


** A2A **

1. In that case let her apply with you as F2 (family) dependent with her Nigeria P . You will need to get a Form I 20 for her too and pay her MRV. If you don't know about F2 talk to your school (admission counselor) in the US that you have a daughter to bring along .

2. However, prepare her future by registering , rounding up and keeping her birth documentations. Naturally at age 10, a child born in the UK and having lived in the UK their whole life and not leaving more than 3 months a year can apply for citizenship.

3. Also if one of the parents is a British citizen or have indefinate leave to remain in the UK by the time the baby was born, then automatically she is a citizen by birth. She can always go back to the UK for her P.

Please I need some guidance and thoughts on the scenario below:
I got a full time mba admission in the USA with a 90k dollars scholarship. However my total cost of attendance is 146k dollars. So the deficit of the 56k would be covered via a loan though. I am expected to pay a non-refundable fee of 1000 dollars to secure my seat. Is it advisable to pay this amount or not? And please state your reasons. Also I cannot waive the fee and I need to pay this fee to get my I-20 to get the visa processing going.

Hey 🤠

1. I won't advice you to pay the 1000$ even if you are applying to Stanford University. The 90k scholarship on MBA is a ploy because the 1000$ is not refundable if F1 is denied .

2. You even planned to cover your 56k deficit via loan .

3. Why MBA in the first place ? Is your employer sending you over or you have a fast growing business with growing staffs ? Is your MBA STEM related because MBA is now moving away from the commonplace MBA which you can even bag in UniLaG, Lagos Business School , OAU etc.

4. Move away from MBA if you don't meet up with any of the above outlines. Someone going for Msc Economics in the USA can as well do the Msc at Covenant University or University of Cape Town. There must be genuine and unique reasons for wanting to study abroad.

5. If you are fine with your MBA chose another University with STEM MBA and don't use loan to cover your deficit . Paying 1000$ as a spot deposit before I 20 is issued is not a new policy but i won't pay it on MBA admission.

Hi thanks for your response,

The MBA is stem based with concentration in fintech and I am not sponsored by my employer or have a fast growing business.

I have the option of using family fund for my deficit or what options do you think?

Hey 🤠

1. You seem to be on a lone journey and just seeking some positive push.

2. Nothing is impossible (with God). If you have the 1000$ go ahead and pay it but be certain that the University is well accredited .

3. Use your family funds . Don't use loan .
