I received my 1-20 thru FEDEX nd I got it like 3 working days aftr.. Bt normally it should take 5 working days @ most. Bt the fact that their system does not recognise ur tracking number means sumthng is wrong.So I think you should send an email to the admissions office at the skl nd tell them what's goin on.

thanks but the school already sent the document to a third party in the states, and third party was the person that sent me the document..am guessing is because i didnt include the 23401 zip code

I got my I-20 the third day from US through UPS but don't know about sending from Nigeria with them. I guess it should be the same thing.

Thanks for the advice giving to the successful visa applicant...i am expecting my form I-20 from my School.I applied for Graduate certificate in information securty management and i have been offered admission with school.But, the school didnt request for GRE and TOEFL.Although i wrote TOEFL exam anyway.So in want to know if not have GRE certificate could prevent me from getting the Visa or not?.While i wait for my I-20 i need you to advice me on what i need to prepare for the VISA interview..Thanks and cheers.

I'm sure the problem cnt be from the zip code , cz the zip code for receiving mails is 23401 and the (01) for lagos , I hv used it several times and got my mails delivered , its what I used for my toefl and I got it delivered to my house, my opinion ask ur sender to confirm d tracking number, since the respond u "said" were getting was dt the tracking code cnt b found, if am right? let's not confuse ourselves pls , we hv a mailing code in 9ja and its 234 (01) for lagos and diff numbers for diff states ..

You can ask the sender to give you a tracking number. Go to FEDEXs` or whoever the mailing companys website and track your document.
Trust me, you will start sleeping through the night.

To chime in on the zip code, I always use 00000 for Nigeria if they insist on one since we don`t use zip codes. I use it on forms and everything that requires a Nigeria

Not necessarily. I don`t take passport photos with my glasses on and I have never gotten in trouble with that.
He needs to wear his glasses to his interview though so he could hear the questions. I use glasses and when I don`t have them on, for some reason, my ears don`t work. I think when you wear glasses you hear with your eyes; I don`t know how that works......

kpolli,

Lagos, Nigeria is 23401. I use that all the time and my mails never go to Virginia, USA. Really, it's a dialing code for Lagos, Nigeria but in the case where zip code is required, it serves the same function.

@knock out,

Even without that code, your mail should get to it's destination safely. What matters in the case of country like Nigeria is the full traceable address within each state in Nigeria. If I write my address as this:

1111111, Oba Akran Road,
Ikeja, Lagos,
Nigeria.


It's enough to get my mail to the above address from any country in the world.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part3 by Square65: 11:19pm On Nov 15, 2012
Kpolli et al ...

All of you are right, kind of.

While, strictly, 234xxx is NOT a postal/code, courier/mailing services understand it when one uses the country+state code in its place, so yes one could say it's "widely" accepted.

And, yes, Nigeria does actually have ACTUAL post/zip codes (see link below)! It's just surprising that they are never used!! One's mail would even have a higher chance of getting delivered if the 234 version is used. This somewhat contributes to the inefficiency of our mailing system.

I only responded to the poster not to be afraid cos naija's official zip code is not 23401 so that can't be the reason he wasnt seeing the tracked info until some ppl who knew best tried to challenge knowledge. . . .


Beware do not use 23401 on sites like paypal. . . . Your mailing international so the 23401 we all use is discarded. . . Zip code is for couriers to know their nearest location to ur residence is. . . I have used 23401 well before but I just needed to clear the air before we continue saying 23401 is naija's zip code. . . one day ur mail wud go to virginia. . . .

Plus seriously google 23401, and read what it says. . . . Before you know it, it would be blacklisted. . . . Biofem is actually right 00000 is supposed to be our official zip code

Kpolli...the only reason i didn't respond to your reply was just because you seem to want to put up a quarrel about the zip code thing and i like playing safe...all i know is that i do use 23401 or 23402 for ibadan and my mails got to me...but i don't think it should really be an issue...more so we all understand english and know how to seek answers (replying to your "what is a zip code" question)...i didn't expect such question in the context in which you used it 'cos i could read a thousand and one meanings to that question the way you asked it...no hard feelings bro.

Guy, for the fact you have been using 23401 and 23402 and having your stuff delivered does not mean they are correct. When you go to the US pls get the correct zip code of where u live or work. 234 is for calling Nigeria and when you go to a NIPOST office your street zip code will be revealed to you. Because Nigeria does not make most use of their zip codes, should not make us tell others to stick to a wrong thing. My area zip code here in Jos is 930282.
