Thank you.

*** The number one background is to fill your ds-160 completely and submit before you go and open profile on avits. Majority of visa applicants are undecided about their travel plans or undecided about the truth or lies they want to join together , so they left their ds-160 half-filled. ** Leaving your ds -160 half- filled makes you an undecided visa applicant therefore it is part of what causes long pre-approval or inability to get an appropriate date in time .

*** A fully ready F1 visa applicant must also sign and date his or her I -20 in order to show that you have read, understood, and agree to follow the laws written on page 3 of your I-20. If you are under 18 years old your Parent/guardian must also sign, write address, and date.

*** Any serious F1 visa applicant must also pay or arrange to pay his or her SEVIS fee immediately after the arrival of the form I 20.

When you have done the above three (3) then all goodies of F1 visa process (ie fast pre-approval , nearer date or quick approval of expedite appointment request etc) will come to you as a piece of cake. 👍

Thank you, but do I need to attatch these documents( completed DS-160 and SEVIS)along with my I-20 for the preapproaval? Or should I only submit the signed I-20.

Good Evening Chi.
Pre approval request should not take more than 24hrs at worst 48hrs if you do the needful. The needful are : signed form I -20 , fully completed and submitted ds - 160 and SEVIS fee payment. 👍

Good evening Everyone, I would like to ask if the pre-approval request process still takes time, and how long it typically takes currently for a pre-approval request to be approved, especially when payment is made through First Bank. Thank you.

Hello Everyone, my school resumes in August. Can anyone please tell me which embassy (Abuja or Lagos) typically has closer appointment dates?
Thanks.

[color=#550000][/color]Hello Everyone, I need advice. I have 2 sponsors on my I-20 but the DS-160 form only allows 1 sponsor's information. How do I handle this? Any experiences? Thank you.

Hello everyone.
I need you're advice. Due to how long the preapproaval stayed I missed my program start date for spring semester. Although I have deferred to fall semester, do I just go for the interview with both my old and new I-20. Or do I have to pay another MRV Fee and start the entire process again. I appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer.
