you can write them naming you school. You might be lucky that they start from you.

It’s an advantage if you see your school tho but you can still write them even if your school is not there.

I hope this helps

mojolajesu:
Thanks, chief. This is another amazing answer!

As regarding the Loan, The company is Mpower. They grant loans to international students without any collateral requirement. They are based in the US too.

you should check them out at mpowerfinancing.com

Thanks so much but they don’t offer loans for guys going to University of Dallas.

Hi guys I need a little help, please.

I am on the verge of applying for my F1. I have acquired a loan worth $50k which I already made plans to pay the company back when I get to the US.

I am hoping that the VO will not ask me what are my plans for payback.

SHould in case he does, do you have any idea on how to put it so as not to reveal that I would be staying back eventually.

Also, how is it best to answer "do you have siblings in the US" when you have them? should you say yes or deny it?

But won’t this be a different code from the one on my visa application, or can I send a mail for them to change it?

Agbataekwe:
Hello, please my international passport expires October 2022 and i got admission for January 20222, meaning visa range exceeds my passport expiration
Please will it affect me when i go to apply for visa?? If it won't affect me, can i renew my passport in the uk when it's about to expire?

If it will affect my visa application, what should i do next??

I don’t think it matters, I had a similar case where my passport was to expire in April 2022 and my interview was in August against January resumption. I got the visa and I’ve renewed my passport to combine the two when traveling. If you think you still have time to do another one before your interview or submission of your documents then do. But I don’t think it matters

And again, the visa application fee, will i also be charged with cbn rate or black market rate?

Hey there. That’s correct that there’s the 120 days rule which states that F-1 visas can’t be issued no more than 120 days before the start of program. However I came across some info which says it’s alright to go due to covid-19 issues. I’m not totally sure if you can bank on that. I’d advise you to send an email using the feedback on cgi portal to check if it’s OK to still attend in August or send an email to the NIV section of Lagos/Abuja embassy? The other option would be to reschedule.
Maybe some one else on here that has gone through this can give a better insight.

Guys please I’m confused and in need of help. When I applied for an emergency appointment, the earliest possible date I got was for 26th of August, however, my school resumes on the 23rd so I already booked my flight for Abuja for next week. However, my school wrote to me today that if I can’t make it by the resumption date, I might have to defer my admission to January or take this semester courses online.

After much deliberation, I decided to defer till January since she told me that the visa won’t be granted coz I need to take a minimum of one course on site and it’s too late for that and she is willing to issue me a new I-20 for January and deferment letter.

Now my issue is this, will I be able to interview for January in August? given this rule of you can only interview within 120days to your next resumption date.
