She can use that same SEVIS

I know someone who was interviewed on June 8. SEVIS expired on May 30.

Nozino:
Ok oo. I’m sure you’ve seen his license.

MelaninGemstone:
Please, important question!

My SEVIS payment is expiring on August 17 and I have an interview on August 19. Hope I can still use it ?

So guys please. I have one old man in my area that is daughter is a citizen of America. So we normally talk every time so I told him I'd like to relocate too to the U.S that he should talk to his daughter if she can help in anyway and all. So today he said the daughter told him to tell me that America visa lottery is out that I should go apply. I tried checking on the internet even went to the social medias of America embassy in Nigeria and I found nothing there. I know there are so many fake websites telling people to come apply for visa lottery. I just want to ask if anyone have any information about U. S visa lottery abi it's just fake. Because the man called me I should go to America consulate this week to go apply. Abeg make ona help me make person no go fall in the hand of scammers

So much tension in that place. Don’t let them deceive you, you don’t need to staple your passport on you DS-160. But carry physical copies of your passport photograph. Also just pray for peace you need to be calm, collected and confident.

Is the flight agent wakanow.com legit?

Lochinny91:
Good evening everyone! Pls I have a question. My husband applied to three schools and initially one gave him admission immediately. We’ve done everything, gotten the 1-20, paid semis and almost done with DS-160, then we got another admission from another school. He prefers this new school and wants to switch to it. The problem is to get their I-20 is a big deal. Saw it takes 10 business days to receive it and school starts first week in September while the initial school starts second week of August. Is it advisable to go ahead and submit the DS-160 form with the details of the first school ( because of time) and then switch after getting the visa?
Also, do people provide proof of funds for their children who are US citizens? The first school told us not to bother but wanted to know if it’s a general thing should we opt for the 2nd school? Thank you as I anticipate your response �

Joezinho:
Most of these peeps coming here to type, "..my cousin,my brother, my uncle, my grandma.." are agents.

In this travel section; there are experienced people offering free advice on various categories of visas to various countries. It takes nothing to dedicate your time to read through threads and ask questions instead of seeking agents..

Nobody can guarantee you a visa, that's the part most Nigerians don't like to hear, I guess, which is why they seek out agents to help facilitate the process...

Greattestman:
Thanks ma'am...But I checked my inbox and spam there was no message. Can I drop my email so you can send msg directly? pls.

Lochinny91:
Good afternoon everyone! Thank you for all you in this group. It’s been helpful. Please I’d want to ask, while filling the DS-160 form for F1 visa, should I put my US citizen as my travel companions?

Hi everyone,

So my old passport was to expire in November, and I used it to book for my F1 interview in January. However I haven't been able to get a date closer than August, and my passport now has less than 6 months validity. I have renewed the passport and have a new one now, but my old passport which I used to book the interview has been stamped "Canceled Without Prejudice"

Can I still go to the interview with the old passport (also taking the new one along) or do I have to cancel the appointment and book a new one with my new passport?

Thank you

Legacy86:
Or is it best to use my husband as the sponsor instead of being self sponsor?

Arizona042:
Thanks man. Could you please tell me the documents being requested by the Nigerian Immigration Service at the airports?
Eg. Covid 19 & yellow fever vaccine cards

Cyingfreeman:
I really don't know much about these things. I'm even yet to receive my I20. But from what I read here, one should choose the closest possible date available and then subsequently apply for an EA with proofs attached.

I may be wrong. The gurus are in the best position to advise you

Doubuzofficial:
Those are personal questions and I know you will have your answer to those already.

Easydgre8:
Goodday guys.
I want to be sure if there is a situation where a student traveled a week or more before his/her earliest admission date to the US without any problem at the homeland checkpoint.

Potbellied:
Hello great people,
Please does anyone here have a godly plug for TOEFL registration?
Also, prices from the ones I've met on other platforms are really high, almost double of the initial fee. How veracious is this claim please?
Third, is anyone planning to take the test in August? We could rub each other's back.
Thanks

Legacy86:
Hello I sent you a mail pls kindly respond to my mail
