Nicole2024:
Hello all,

Please i’m 25, single, no sibling in Canada and currently have up to 3 years work experience with a Bsc in mass communication. Heard about the express entry program and I'm thinking of entering the pool this year and plan to take IELTS in April. I'm also taking the BCS IT certification later in the year so I can get more points with two or more certificates

However, my work experience is divided across different fields: 10 months in digital & content marketing during NYSC (ICT company) and 2+ years in product management at a fin-tech

Although, i’m planning to use product management as my primary NOC (21221). I'm concerned that my NYSC experience wont count to help me reach the 3yrs requirements as it’s in a different field.

Apart from a masters which is not feasible right now. What do you advise to get more points?
Thanks everyone 🙏🏾

Hi Nicole I will like to ask you something.

[quote author=tbh2053 post=120496748]Good afternoon House,

Please, How do I apply for an emergency appointment? What documents do I attach? also, what is the email address?

My admission is for Fall 2023, However, the dates I'm seeing are for Sept, 2023 which is quite close to the resumption date.

Thank you.

You can call me let's talk about it 08036487921

The sevis fee receipt is not what's needed to request an emergency appointment.

[b]It's a letter or document that proves that you need a closer date for the interview.

I am really getting confused here.Please can someone book for an EA and get a date even if he or she has not paid for the Savis fee.

[quote author=Dechamp post=119785688]My program start date is may but the earliest appointment I've been seeing is September, October, November & January 2024 please guide me on a possible solution .
Good day everyone.please can I start to book for visa appointment date even if my i-20 have not yet come.

Somatohadidas:




After admission (and funding for those who need it), and you've decided where you want to go:

✅ Request for your i-20 from your school. Some give one or both of soft/hard copy, and you might pay shipping fee for hardcopy in some schools ($50 - $100). You'll usually supply details of passport page, ability to cover cost like funding letter or bank statement, etc. for this.

✅ Get the i-20. I'll suggest you request the e-copy even if the school wants to send hardcopy, so that you can use the details to book your visa interview while awaiting the hard copy. A4 printed of i-20 is acceptable at embassy. After i-20, the next 3 items can be in any order.

✅ Start filling your DS-160 form online at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ . You can use this video as a guide when filling it: https://www.facebook.com/287980197932222/videos/318718789713853

✅ Create a CGI profile at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-appointmentschedule.asp and pay for your visa fee, costs #67,200 with GT Bank, and book your date at your desired location if an available one shows.

✅ Pay Sevis fee. You can create a coupon at fmjfee.com but someone in the US has to pay it for you. It costs $350, but there might be a $10 processing fee and people's dollar rates differ. So expect a wide range when converted. To be safe, the payment must be confirmed at least 72 hours prior to your interview.

✅ Prepare for your interview and ace it.✌�

✅ Book your flight, typical ranges can cost from 250k - 400k for cheapest ones depending on location, or go for the more expensive and comfortable ones.

Good luck.�

Thank u very much I really appreciate it.

They may require you to pay for Sevis before sending form I-20. Ok

Somatohadidas:


Pay for SEVIS before handing out the I-20?

Who would require that?

As far as I know, proof of funding (assistantship/fellowship/statement of account/how he/she is goingto fund the study) is the only thing that would be required in order to release the I-20.

I have already been granted my funds approval by mpower.

Good morning friends.please I need an advice on how to go about in processing my visa.i got an admission to study MBA at Chatham university Pittsburgh U.S.A. for fall 2023.I contacted the school and they said dey wud send me my i-20 soon.So I want to know when dey send the i-20.what will be the next step to go about in processing the visa.thanks

[quote author=Godsblessings post=92583654]yes, I was able to use UBA visa and it was successful but the charges is too much , almost 5000 difference.

Please can you tell me out to pay for the Duolingo since your own worked

Please ca you add me to d group if I drop my digit

[quote author=chibertha post=110723319]ok but I am only concerned about the money you will spend in the pathway, why not get graduate school straight. Your CGPA IS VERY HIGH I must confess mine was 2.95/5 and I got Masters's without any standardized test and also got a GA.
I will advise you to do more search instead of taking this.


[Please am a novice in this forum.chibertha can you tell us the university in USA that you got Master's program with such CGPA
