I think this is fairly common. So would you suggest always calling the school to confirm?when I made my application I encountered same problems. Also about two members of this thread also heading to michigan but silent followers.

imperiouxx:
It's an old page which has been before I even get admission. I expected them to be updating it with new information.

gunther6:
Form A is now charged at #285 to $1 ... My semester fees just went up by 645k.......

pele..... God dey

Wow.... Cool. I really don't know because I will apply for pta in july so I haven't seen a need however I think an onward ticket alone is required. Visa and ticket with specific date o tan... No need for return.

Fortissimo:
Omo I really don't know oh. Other people have gotten PTA without return ticket but everywhere I have asked, they said a return ticket is required. How do you mean by reservation?

Oga dare I actually don't give a hoot but the thing os wen that thing cast aspersions on my person I saw a lot of people here hailing him and I began to wonder why we as a people have gone so low.. I wouldn't have cared till I saw like 15 likes on his derogatory comments and also people praising him for his mouth diahorrea. It behoves the question a lot of people here are just the same old chip of the nigerian block. Poverty mentality. Anyway oga dare why did you pick me alone to chastise? What is good for the goose Is good for the gander. Even the demon possessed individual I am having a bite at you simply ignored. Amend your post and chastise us both then I will take your advice with more than a pinch of salt.

DareFadi:
You care too much of what others think ...... .

Unclev posted his transcript, most people didn't like it and called him or she out. The person no even get time to respond back. It appears he / she moved on to looking for ticket and moved right along . Thats a matured response....

you dont need to validate yourself or response to anyone. All these response and trying to prove this and that not needed . If them no believe u unko...

student visa self no mean say future go bright. It doesnt even mean say u go get job for yankee self after graduation. ...all it means is you are spending your hard earned money for the next 2years. Shikena

Thanks ma.

Fortissimo:
Thanks for your transcript, dickoflife and this nugget:

V.O: oh yes that is possible as long as you have a bus ticket to show your destination. Just explain to them at the point of entry that a 4 hour bus ride will save you cost and you will be fine. What tips off people is when school resumes in 3 weeks or more and you show up in an entirely different city far from your school. It raises questions but don't worry you will be fine.

If I had seen this earlier I would have probably booked a flight to one of the southern states...but as the VO said, with explanations, I will be fine.

Lols. Ok chief master sergeant sir...

don4ye:
@ dickoflife .. With this transcript I just confirmed you got your visa.. Your old transcript looks somehow.. Congrats.

Leave am. Craze dey him head. Imagine as he dey dissect the issue .

Fortissimo:
Gunther6 the master economist!

Emi eyan mayweather ni deliverance. Oga ade hmn... I am quite busy at the moment and I think it will be bleak to make travel plans....

gunther6:
It took me a long time to decide whether to simply ignore this or respond, I can see DareFadi commenting on frankly what he knows nothing about.

I have always advocated for all for one and one for all and of course that will never change because without it Nigeria as a group in diaspora will not blossom and frankly with the increasing inequality of wealth occasioned by global capitalism, the current isolationist self-intrested economic structure will not last long.

Dickoflife got his visa after reading through and becoming quite popular on this thread, it was expected of him to share his transcript after getting his Visa, He shared his transcript with me but I called him out on not sharing it with the house, I do not think his reasons holds up to serious scrutiny. I think at this point I have to clarify my relationship with him, I count him as my closest friend on this thread, we made plans together and spoke several times daily.

I called him out today when he decided he was going to quit the thread like some kind of injustice was meted out to him, he went on and on about how I was warriboy21 's boy, I respect warriboy21 he helped pay my SEVIS fee and that of countless others on this thread, he earned his brass, you have not and thankfully he is not dead, did I at any point ask you for an airport pick up or favor save the payment of my SEVIS fee?.

In private some suggested you were not given visa , in refuted it by telling them, though I think you are a 'deliverance case' you did not lie about the visa and repeated same to you. I stand by initial position, tone down your rhetoric, post your transcript not your Visa( we have each others copy) and please don't quit this thread, the future students need you. Talk to you soon

My interview was on the 20th a friday. Because of the impending strike I left home for abuja via bus on wednesday morning. Got to abuja not so long after and headed for lugbe.
Since it was friday I flexed well with guys just to keep off the nerves and on thursday evening put my passport in my bible and prayed like never before ( lols na dat time we dey remember God).... Friday morning got taxi for my 9 am appointment at 7 am and arrived dier shortly. All those touts wanted to hustle me but I no gree. I had all my documents in place. I went ahead to dash out 500 naira finally for a reprint of my application page as it was not so clear. Suddenly I felt I had to use the mens room so at 8 I headed into the embassy joined the line and then excused myself to use the loo. I was granted permission but as soon as I returned I was told to go to the back. I went back and then finally came my turn for verification. The lady was polite. She wore a green sweater on top her uniform that day. I got in and joined her line again to scan passports then was told to go meet the indian lady for verification. After we went outside to join a line to come inside again. When finally it was our turn to go in I was so happy cus the waiting was killing. That was around 11:46 or so. We went in and sat again on chairs and was asked to keep shifting in a u sort of pattern ... I heard every conversation. There was a man , an fcib officer who filled female for his gender instead of mail and couldn't even asnwer the basic questions about security. An old woman with pastor mouka sorta like prayer attire who was denied but kept begging and calling the guy in window 8 'my son'. Another woman who came to the sulate with her kids for a fresh visa but her previous visa was denied because gave birth in the us and couldn't produce receipt for the birth. Her visa was revoked.
Finally it was my turn. I heard next applicant to window 7 please. I bounced like 'Jet Lie' go meet the man. I had selected my best leather brown timberland with obvious scuff marks on the toe and blue jean with a nice polo. As I got to the window and was about ting he stopped me.
V.O: pass me your passport and I-20 and also that old passport ( I carried it all in my clear yellow bag that type sold for 80 naira). I passed it along and he scanned through my passport then picked the old one and saw the various visas on it. He pulled out the paper in the middle and held it up.what is this he asked.
Me: that is my ressidence permit in Russia.
V.O: do you speak russian?
Me: da kanieshna. Ya bilo stuudente..... He cuts in
V.O: that is the correct answer.
So you are going to Grand Valley State university for a masters in Communication?
Me: that is correct
He was interrupted by the guy in window 8 who came to him again for advice and asked about sevis fee.
V.O: pass me your sevis receipt please.
I passed it to him and he showed him and then they continued talking. He got back to me and said sorry for that. Why Russia? He asked and I wanted to begin a long story when he cuts in and said because its cold right? I said yes in saratov atimes I was in winter as cold as minus 32. He smiles and said oh wow..
V.O: so what dou you know about communication?
Me: I studied it at undergraduate level and decided I wanted a better experience in the field of advertising as I have previously worked with Nigerian Distilleries and other companies with the job description solely on advertising. For example this flier in the passport given to us here is a clear case of advertising.... He cuts in again.
V.O: I will be issuing your visa pick it up at the location circled there and passes me back my documents. He picks my I-20 and says do not be late and don't get on a plane to the US if you will exceed this date.
Me: thank you. I have a question. My svhool is in Michigan and a straight flight from Nigeria costs almost double. Can I take a flight to chicago and a bus to Grand Rapids? Its just 4 hours.
V.O: oh yes that is possible as long as you have a bus ticket to show your destination. Just explain to them at the point of entry that a 4 hour bus ride will save you cost and you will be fine. What tips off people is when school resumes in 3 weeks or more and you show up in an entirely different city far from your school. It raises questions but don't worry you will be fine.
Me: thank you.
V.O: you are welcome. I pack my documents and walked away.

Thanks to all those who called me on that day and before and wished me luck. Erick, gunther6 , and others I might not remember.

Hello house the address on my sevis fee receipt is an American address, my uncle filled his address during the time he was making the payment for me, hope it won't affect me?

He seems the boss of all bosses... It is well... I cannot answer pm though... Old mail but am sure you will be fine.

Am sorry... God be praised... Till the end of times have faith. I avoided the US in the past for fear of denials. But it is well... I was interviewed by the man in window 7. The seemingly oldest one.

I did overstepped the bounds on the use of language before I was banned last week but mr justwise how come I was the only one banned.. When some things here were making denigrating accusations against my person you ignored. They were the source of the whole altercation. Pls what is good for the goose is good for the gander and whatever type of animal is involved in the equation..

No one is engaging you in a dìck swinging competition here (no pun intended) but don't come here pretending you don't need anyone and all those grandiloquent stuffs you spill, everybody needs someone which is why there is a thread in the first place. OK bye you know my digits and you still owe me beer
