My peeps, this is rather urgent now.
My wife got admission into wright state Uni and we have done all necessary processes.
Now we need to pay for sevis as her interview is on Monday and the instruction says she must pay for sevis at least three working days before the interview.
We tried online but the system is t receiving credit card except cashier's cheque, money order or western union.
Please helllllppppppp!!!!!!

dr_dolittle: Hello.If you have someone in the US,ask d person to send them a cheque addressed to SEVIS through a courier company..It should get to them on thursday.Then u can print d receipt on friday or saturday.Pls do that today if u dont wanna jeopardize your wife's visa.

imperiouxx: ^^^ Na now rushing come start. He has just few days left to decide whether wify gets it or not by himself. He can't send payment to US today anymore. Well, you guys should describe the way to the border for him.

kpolli:

Why did u wait till now?

dr_dolittle:

Well, I think Seme border would be the best bet too but I hope he can cope with the challenges there.

To whom it may concern: Please you have to go pay in ECOBANK in cotonou.

imperiouxx: You new guys shouldn't pack dry akpanla and garri while coming to US ooo. If caught at entry, your stuffs would be seized, trashed and you pay fine. If you need garri (nice one ooo), ground egusi, palm oil, ogbonor, tinko, okra (americans dey fry their own eat like fried fish) etc dem dey sell them fine fine in US. You fit no see ponmo but good shaki dey for Walmart and other stores. Moreover, US is home of different kinda food, you go eat and eat till you can't no more.....That's if your intention is real and you are on good standing ooo. But if not and you go astray like noise from a big speaker, you go.... well, you know how person wey struggle reach lagos dey face am nau.

Are you sure they convery students one way? Kindly confirm before you make payment oooo.

walex57:
me sef still dey reason am...me never fly before oooo....and i'll want my first time to be memorable not boring

It wouldn't be boring trust me. Just ensure say your phone dey well charged and you get enough games to play while on board. Besides, you fit make friends on board and you guys get to talk about anything and everything.

Na wa O:


@wale haba u want carry ur unilorin parol go america ni.L̳̿Ö̤̣̇☺ː̗̀(=)))ː̖́☺Ö̤̣̇L̳̿

@Mrs,

GRE material sent.

Why can't they pack food stuff? The only challenge is some food stuff are contraband and those are the food items that are seized and thrashed. I brought in food stuff, my mom brings food stuff each time she visits and also many people I know. Like they advise, noodles, snail and poultry products are not allowed into the US and it is even in the I-94 card.

Bros ooo..thanks...how do i know if they convey students one way...cos it was one way i searched for...abeg tell me ooo...mi o fe shi flight wo ooo

This is my very first post on this FORUM: it's about my INTERVIEW, yesterday in Lagos, and how I got my VISA - so simple, so smooth, so 'GOD'!

ME: Good afternoon Sir!

VO: Good afternoon, please pass your documents

ME: Documents passed

VO: Why are you going to US?

ME: I'm going for my Maser's Degree in Electrical Engineering (I avoided mentioning my major, Renewable Energy; if he needs to know that, he should ask...shikena.)

VO: What did you do in your undergraduate?

ME: I did Electrical(forgot to add electronic) Engineering

VO: Which School?

ME: 'am sorry I didn't hear that (I didn't want to assume nothing)

VO: Which School was that? (now I heard the question clearly)

ME: Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife

VO: So, where are you going in US?

ME: Said(At this point he already tore the green part of my ticket, but I didn't focus on that)

VO: What year did you finish?

ME: 2009(I actually wrote my final paper on February 6, 2010 but 2009 was the official year printed on my certificate...so, I went with that, no story...no time)

VO: So what have you been doing?

ME: 'have been working with ABC Nigeria Limited, a systems integration company)

VO: What do they do?

ME: Access Control, CCTV, IPTV...cut me

VO: Did you write any test?

ME: Yes I did(I waited for him to tell me to bring it before showing him...)

VO: Can I see the score sheet?

ME: Sure!!!(gave him)

VO: So, who is sponsoring you

ME: My Uncle

VO: What does he do?

ME: He is an oil marketer....owns petrol stations actually

VO: Can I have his statement?

ME: Yes(passed it)

VO: You know of the 30days Entry Rule (Nodded my head)...Ok, Safe trip to US, you can pick your VISA on Thursday

************************ S M I L E S *********************************************
(Those Security guys collected money from me o...despite a bold board warning they should never do that...Naija sha...but I gladly gave them too...lolz)

SUMMARY

1. There was nothing about home tie question/answer in all of those stuffs...prepare to answer it confidently just in case it comes but please note that: God can by-pass rules, #HE did in my case! So, here is the answer I had prepared for a home tie kinda question: The Federal Government is planning a massive investment on Renewable Energy as the alternative solution to the power challenge, there are very few experts available in the field now...I want to be part of the first implementation engineers here in Nigeria...it's a huge opportunity coming back home and I want to seize it now. If your RESEARCH AREA is not indicated on your I-20(which I doubt), pick up an area of interest that sounds convincing, even to you...who tells you I will end up studying renewable energy? US Education is damn too flexible...so help yourself, avoid plenty technical terms.

2. Here written, the interview looks like a long one. But no, I spent less than 2 minutes; before the end of the first minute, he already tore my pickup ticket. What I think: They know what they are looking for...once they see it, every other thing is secondary. Be calm, go straight to the answers, don't try to impress...dress simple, be confident and above all trust GOD (not those papers you have packed together to prove a point...I had close to 50 of them, only 2 were asked). #GOD FACTOR

3. I had a guy beside me who expressed his preference for a VO that was more lenient, not because he wasn't denying VISA but because he still listened to your case...maybe your foolishness too. So I told my one-minute-friend: calm down, take your mind off facts and figures. FEAR only steals your confidence and increases your chances of being denied. The harsh guy he was avoiding (cos the guy was denying a lot of people) interviewed me and I got my VISA...didn't wait for his own turn so can't say nothing about his interview. Some people avoid Lagos, maybe some Abuja...I think you are only paying t-fare for your FEAR. The worst is: You get denied & you re-apply and they give you the VISA...You would't quit at this stage now, will you? So take some breath and hope in GOD...Feed your FAITH to fat and stab your FEAR to death!

I almost gave-up but for God. Now, I know how our mind works...you will be tempted to start comparing profiles to determine your own chances. Maybe you shouldn't go that way! God created us unique, that's why your credentials may be different from mine, let him direct you on where to turn...Leaving Naija for America is no joke, beyond the paparazzi. Sounding too spiritual? Sorry, that's how I'm wired-up.

Ok, America is calling me...have gat to go mehn...lolz
All the very best to everyone, all genuine pursuit included.

walex57:

All airlines allow one way, however in order to discourage this is some cases they make the one way price more or about the same to return.

As per food,
There may be some restrictions, but for someone like me, I brought food stuffs that lasted almost 2 months. This includes panla, cray fish, dried fish and all the smelly stuffs and non was seized at the POE. Just package your food well and when asked, tell them you have food in the bag.

Guys, got this link from one the early post in this forum.
www.cheapair.com
Emirate flight for as $1087 on 31st july, $1083 on the 1st and 2nd august.
return tickets are as low as $1680.
...Will appreciate any deal better than dis house.
