This question goes To those livingin the US. For a student living about 15mins drive from campus, how much can one expect to spend on transport?

I heard pharmacies in the US don't sell drugs except on doctors prescription. What sort of drugs can one take along? I'm thinking Actifed, panadol, procold. Any other suggestions?

It's mandatory as far as I know..the good thing is that you get some "free" vaccines which cost quite a bit out of campus.

Vaccines like what and what?

I heard that it is not compulsory to subscribe to health insurance offered by your schools. Pls, who knows if there are insurance firms in the US that offer cheaper alternatives?

Who knows whether Zenith bank MasterCard ATM does work on ATM machines in the US?

Hello house, please can I use my student's copy of my transcript to start my bsc reult evaluation?

Email the grad school and your department to find out. I started my admissions application with a scanned copy of my unofficial transcript. Some universities permit you to wait until an admission offer is made, before needing to see your official transcripts.

Very much yes. For a phone call plan + internet access, expect to pay, at least, $30 - $50 per month (N5,400 - N9,000). This is for the non-contract plan (i.e buy their sim card only and slot in a phone you already have). It comes with unlimited local calling and texting, unlimited international texting, internet access. For a contract plan (buying a phone + sim card from a network carrier), expect to pay up to $80 per month because you're paying for both the phone + phone access.

Currently, I pay $40 every month (non-contract plan). For my provider, the very lowest you can pay is $25, which is just calling and texting. No internet access.

If I decide to opt for a contract line, how long should it take to pay for the phone? Assume a mid range phone around N40k.

The church poster with the Chelsea team picture is the most incredulous. Fair to say the pastor is a Chelsea fan.

I heard mobile phones in the U.S. are more costlier than their equivalents in Nigeria. Pls, how true is this?

Pls what are the requirements for getting yellow card issued at the airport? Must one go with international passport cos mine is still at the US consulate?

Pls is it true that if you are a first time traveller, you must book a return flight? If one is going to the US on a student visa, of what need is there to book a return flight?

Pls when writing a sponsorship letter, is this the right way to address it?

The Visa Officer,
US Consulate General,

Do the police run a background check on you before issuing a character certificate? Also, can the character certificate be issued at any police station?

Thanks.

The only remedy for poor writing is writing, writing and more writing bro. Write at least an AWA everyday. Also it might be best to get someone to review your articles for you. Best of luck.

I will be getting my I20 form by Monday thru' DHL. I have someone in USA that wants to pay SEVIS fee for me. What is the procedure the person has to follow to pay for the fee? I will really appreciate it if I can get a prompt answer, gurus.

Try and insist that your friend pays via western union and not via check or money order.

juniorsmith:
hello,please i got a reply that my emergency appointment that i requested was denied because i didnt provide the sevis fee receipt,that i should reapply. But when i try to reapply it bounce me to my appointment home,what am i gonna do to reapply for an emergency appointment?

Try using the Feedback form. I once lodged a complaint using the form and was replied in less than an hour.

skipolala:
Hello.

Please my emergency request was approved rejected. What does this mean. And how do I apply for another emergency date?
Thanks

Have you applied for emergency appointment in the past 6 months?

I'm yet to print my SEVIS receipt. Is it possible to go ahead and book for emergency appointment without it?

I have sent u a PM, oga. With this ur "palasa" phone, would we be able to chat?

Hi guys,

Pls how does one show close family ties, with a sponsor beyond just bearing the same last name?

Pls, can someone help with a draft of a sample letter of sponsorship that can be taken to the embassy on interview date? Who should the letter be addressed to?

Does anyone know of any GTB branch in Lagos that opens on Saturday? Also, is it possible to pay visa fee before completing the DS-160?

Beverly055:
You do not have any issue...Just keep your i20 safely and you are fine.

Beverly, I just sent you a PM

Walspring:


Get the scan copy and use it to pay sevis then pay visa fee and apply for emergency date and also fill ds160

Embassy wont open from Dec 25th to Jan 6th

Walspring, I have been in contact with someone in the US who is going to help me pay the SEVIS fee. I was kinda wondering if it is possible to go ahead and make a visa appointment while still yet to print SEVIS receipt.
