Please, I want your opinion on this.
PhD in Geophysics
9 publications (authored 4 papers and co-authored 5 papers)
15 years work experience in GIS

Can I try both EB1A and EB2?

It's most likely EB1A won't fly. The criteria is heavy, and they don't seem to agree with pieces of evidence presented.

I will advise u to target transport draw. The next draw will be in june. All u need to do now is get a reference from any logistics company u know (3yrs reference) update ur NOC to transportation manager and u are good to go. Or better still create a second express entry profile with the transport Noc.

How did you know the next draw will be in June sir?

When will be the next draw for Agriculture please?

Can someone create two express entry profile? I'm hearing this for the first time?

Only God knows how long it will take. Some people's PD have been current for over 5 months, yet no IL from Lagos Consulate.

Date of filling or Final action?

Good day house,

Please I need an answer to this question: If my Final action date becomes current, how long will it take from that time to get the Green card using Consular processing in Nigeria?

BTW: it's EB 1A

No

The person who was able to book an interview space confirmed that he/she paid for VISA fees alongside the SEVIS fees. If you didn't do what he/she has done, you shouldn't expect the same processing time!

Have you paid your SEVIS fees?

1095 days (~3 years) within the last 5 years from the date you apply. Your wife must go through the same processes as everyone for citizenship by meeting the requirements. She needs clb 4. You can sponsor her for PR though.

It's "within the last 5 years" I don't really understand. Can you apply to become citizen after 3 years of continuous stay in Canada after PR?

Lagos. And I paid at the bank.

One question: as it stands, does it mean I have not yet scheduled an interview? They have to first approve my request before I can schedule an interview? Is that how it works?

Baba, you'll receive an email once your request has been approved. Only after then can you schedule an interview appointment. Until then, you'll need to calm down and wait for the email. Cheers!

It seemed so from ´"no faculty available to take in more students".


I hope you have other applications you are yet to hear from for Fall 2024?

I just have one more left. May I ask a question, so you give an honest opinion please?

This:

If they didn't find my application competitive, do you think they'll be willing to recode my application for spring semester? Is it a signal that a potential supervisor has spotted my application and he/she likes it?

I haven't received a message from them and besides department defers. I will let you know as soon as I get an update from them.

That's okay. Does it mean my application has been reviewed already from the message they sent?

Not yet but they said by the end of February, now this is 1st of March

I received a message yesterday that they currently don't have any Faculty member accepting additional advisees for fall 2024. They asked if I would want my application recoded (not recorded) for spring, 2025 and that they look forward to hearing from me.

As at January 15th and Feb 15th this year, I contacted my department and they confirmed they were still reviewing the applications.

Does this mean my application has been considered, but I'll need to wait till spring, 2025. I honestly don't understand this please.

Anybody with similar experience should please share!

The email came in as "Application Status"
Thanks.

@everyone,

Please if you've written the CELPIP test, kindly tell us how much you paid and what bank card you used. Alot of people are facing difficulties making this payment. I don't want to believe the amount quoted in naira on their website, so please if you've written the test, tell us:
1. How much you paid
2. What bank card you used
3. Perhaps the dollar equivalence of the #76,000 quoted on their website.

NB: Please don't tell us to use a "dorm card". Tell us the dorm card you used exactly that worked for you and don't tell us you can make the payment for us.

Thank you.

Please anyone heard anything about interview appointment dates availability? It’s more than 3 months now since my first denial and till now I haven’t secured an appointment date. Anyone experiencing same thing?


What's this again please?

I think I read it here that upon submission of visa application, an appointment date will be sent to you.

What do you mean by "you haven't secured an appointment date"?

House,

Please upon submission of FI Visa application, how long does it take to communicate an appointment date?

NB: I'm not asking of the waiting time!

Thank you for your response.

I have honestly gone to read up after I read your initial write-up. I really understand the whole process now, save one; I can see that the "final action date" is backlogged for about 14 months. I want to believe that the final action date is always set by the US government based on the number of green cards available per year, is this correct please?

Again, I've a fall admission for a PhD program in the US. I recently applied for F1 Visa. I was going to file EB-2 NIW application (I've 25 publications and about 78 citations) using premium service before the admission offer came through. But I fear that it may affect my F1 Visa interview if I go ahead to file 1-140 form now. What do you suggest please?

NotsonewMary:


I am not sure how best to explain this to you but I’ll try.

Visa number availability for EB visas relates to Greencard availability.
Every Fiscal year, congress makes 140,000 greencards available under all of the Employment-based visa categories i.e., EB1 to EB5.

The summary of it is that right now, the number of applicants is significantly more than the number of greencards available. So, USCIS has devised a means to put everyone in line and wait for your turn (this is what priority date comes in).

Hope this was helpful. You can watch videos online to get a better understanding of this. I’ll see if I can put some links here to help you understand.
Travel / Re: USA Employment-based Immigration (EB-1,EB-2,EB-3 Visa) by dest4real(m): 9:10pm On Jan 05
I was thinking F1 students can concurrently file since a visa number is immediately availability for them.

NotsonewMary:


You cannot concurrently file for EB2NIW right now because priority date is not current for any country. You can only submit the I-140 application, then wait for when your date of filing becomes current on the visa bulletin, then you can submit the I-485 application.

However, if you qualify for EB1, priority date is still current for all countries (apart from China and India), you can concurrently file for that.

Good day all,

If you're on F1 visa status, I believe you can opt-in for concurrent filling right?

If you opt-in for concurrent filling, are they going to wait for PD to become current before they begin to work on your file? Or you'll jump the queue?

I need this information please.

Thanks.

How much does it cost at GTBank please?
BagOfSweets:




Hey 🤠


Aside GTBank, where else you can pay your F1 visa application is : Guarantee Trust Bank .

1. If you cannot find a nearby GT in your area or working place take UBER or cab or board public buses and find any other GTB.

2. You can ask friends or family to even help you to pay via GTB app. Its not compulsory you walk into a bank . I would rather you do the Walk -ins to any GTB.

Hey 🤠


@dest4Real

You are right at the same time you are wrong . You quoted International Student. Com in your response which is an old policy , International Student .com is also a private website . Or your answer is based on 120 days old policy .


1. So to correct you appropriately, i quoted the US embassy website......

https://travel.state.gov.

Which has the new policy of 365 days for International Students .
