The hope that made your APC supreme court governor - Hope Uzodinma, who came 3rd to now be the governor of Imo State, is what makes us know Obi won.

Who do you? 😢

Oga stop shedding Crocs tears, na atiku wey come close suppose dey cry like this. Wetin make atiku com do. Na no 3 you carry. You no get levels and you no dey mingle with other politicians and you stingy and you no dey help people.

May be this will lead to another end SARS. IsvAisha Buhari innocent of what she is being accussed of. Bunch of thieves. Shame on them all. Under their watch all Nigerians want to do is travel abroad, even those that are well established. Let nothing happen to that Nigerian student. Where is NANS, NBA. Amnesty pls keep up the pressure.

Anyone who supports APC for continuity is part of the problem of Nigeria. Let's get in a better alternative Get your PVC and vote before they declare Islamic Republic of Nigeria. In advanced climes, Buhari will be impeached and sent to jail. ASUU on strike, youths at home for over 6months, Nigeria is donating "vehicles" to Niger. What a ridicule. Shame on you, Buhari, shame on you APC you have failed the youths.

This cracked me �

If you can't call him Lord, move over to the next man, create space for the girl that can cope. I know a wife that calls her husband my Lord, they married during NYSC. Whatever rocks your boat.

I want God to perfect his will concerning Joshua.

I submittedmy DS-160, my SEVIS and appointment confirmation. But currently I haven't received any emergency date, I still see dates from October 6, 2021 can't seem to understand why, meanwhile school resumes in August. Help someone, please.

UAVdrones:
For those who had their request for emergency appointment granted in 2hours, please did you submit ds-160 before making the request?
Some persons requested for emergency appointment and they didn't receive any response. Someone should please list mistakes to avoid when making emergency appointment

Location is Abuja. What do I do now?

Malone122:
lmao ah which location
You literally cannot do anything and you cannot pick a date in October … your best plan is to wait and see if they open dates in July since emergency is showing October
It’s people going for spring that can pick October not fall

Hello House, please I need your help. I applied for emergency appointment for my August 2021 programme, which has been approved, but upon viewing the platform, I still see dates from October,2021. What do I do please?

Thank you. Please how do I fill the school information column of the SEVIS payment form, particularly where it says School code. Thank you.

Malone122:
yes

Urgent please. Must I pay for SEVIS before I can book for emergency?. Thank you.

Congratulations.
I am travelling with 2 kids 4 and 14, for my interview do I need to show proof of schooling arrangements for them? If yes, how do I go about it, please?. Also, did you pay for SEVIS for your kids. Kindly guide. Thank you.

June 16, 2021.

All glory and Adoration to him who is able to do much more than we can ever ask or imagine.

This is my 3 Attempt. First was October 19, 2020 with my 9 yr old daughter at Lagos ( Florida State University, Tallahassee. Scholarship $15,000). Second Attempt, I applied alone December 2, 2020 at Abuja( Florida State University).

Third Attempt today June 16, 2021 ( Abuja). I applied with my 6 month old baby and 9 years old daughter. I couldn't imagine leaving her behind.
Appointment was for 8am. Got to the Embassy 6.45am. The rush of those hustlers at the embassy is indescribable. No matter what they asked me I just told them am fine and I don't need anything. Abuja Embassy had a lot of applicants today. When I got to the CGI official to arrange my documents, he asked for my passport photographs and it was no where to be found. I was just wondering which Kain local trouble be dis one. He asked me to take another picture for the 3 of us. I had to go back get my phone to retrieve soft copies. They printed for N3,000 after asking for N7500.
My interview finally took place at about 11.30am. I was interviewed by the white lady. They were just a male and female VO. I noticed the female VO was dishing out more approvals than denials.

Funding( Scholarship)- $40,000
Dependents- $13000
Deficit- $31000
Total deficit- $44,000

V.O: pass me your I-20 and passport

Me: Excuse ma'am I stutter sometimes ( �,)

V:O: That's ok

V.O: I see you are going to University of xxxxcx for your masters in Law.

Me: yes ma'am

VO: Are those your only children?

Me: yes ma'am

VO: How old are they?

VO: The baby is 6 months and the other is 9yrs old.

VO: You have been to the US?

Me: yes I got a child birth Visa in October 2017 and we bought our tickets shortly after but lost my pregnancy. We decided to change it to a Christmas vacation so that I can have a change of environment. I have the medical report.

VO: ( she kept nodding her head) and said sorry about that.

V.O: what is your highest qualification?

Me: I graduated with a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Jos in 2003 and proceeded to the Nigerian Law School same year and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2004.

Meanwhile she was reading and typing. I just dey kabash under my face mask. I dey cancel every negative remark on my profile.

VO: what is this masters going to do for you?

Me: Over the years my legal Career has been hinged on my Bachelor's degree and Work experience. I do not have a masters degree and because of the demand for legal pratictioners who are skilled in Nigeria, it has become imperative for me to acquire an advance knowledge in the field of law. This program will equip me with skills and knowledge to negotiate multinational transactions and regulatory framework for foreign trade and investment. This program will also equip me with skills and knowledge to resolve international sales disputes as I will be handling legal issues that arise from Multinational transaction on behalf of my clients in the corporate and commercial setting upon my return to Nigeria. I am also looking to improving my professional credentials so that I can secure a lucrative post in a multinational company in Nigeria.

VO: what have you been doing as a lawyer?

Me: I incorporate new companies, handle post incorporation processes, render legal opinion on my behalf...( She cut me off)

VO: ( she stops typing & starts looking at my I-20). You have a scholarship of $40,000 and the deficit will be taken care of by your husband?

Me: yes

VO: what does he do ?

Me: He is the CEO of xxxxx Nig LTD a furniture company that manufactures metal and wooden furniture for Schools in the Northeast on behalf of UNICEF, Educational Establishments and Individuals.
He also builds living Apartment and office spaces and offers for rent

VO: Ok I will be keeping your passports..... ( I no remember this last part)

Me: I was shocked when she made this statement. I never realized how this denials affected me. I was like approval with my two kids? She didn't ask for statement of account, accommodation , daycare, Evidence of Elementary school for my 9 years old


I already made arrangements for all of the above. I have been asking God to arise for me and he did.

Please if you see Jesus thank him for me. I shed tears of joy that my daughter asked me " Mummy we didn't win again"���

I gained a whole lot from the thread and it's fair that I come here to present my transcript.

Thank you Fairheart, for being so selfless.
Thank you Zeelady for the tips.

Vahn:
how much was it in Naira please?

I want to pay for SEVIS, how do I contact Walspring, please?

Hello Walspring,

Please i want to pay for my SEVIS. Kindly contact me on gerona5@yahoo.com. Thank you.

Walspring:
On May 23, 2019, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a final rule to adjust fees charged by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to international students, exchange visitors and SEVP-certified schools. The final rule is available on the Federal Register and will take effect June 24, 2019.

Fee Increases

DHS will implement an increase in the following fees:

The I-901 SEVIS Fee for F and M international students will increase from $200 to $350.
DHS will maintain the $35 I-901 SEVIS Fee for J exchange visitors in the au pair, camp counselor, and summer work or travel program participant categories, but increase the full I-901 SEVIS Fee for other J exchange visitors from $180 to $220.
The SEVP school certification petition fee for initial certification will increase from $1,700 to $3,000.
New Fees

DHS will introduce the following new fees:

A $1,250 fee for SEVP-certified schools filing a petition for recertification.
A $675 fee when schools file the Form I-290B, “Notice of Appeal or Motion."
DHS will maintain the $655 fee for a site visit for a petitioning school and its additional schools or campuses during initial certification, but will also charge this fee when a SEVP-certified school changes its physical location or adds a new physical location or campus to its Form I-17, “Petition for Approval of School for Attendance by Nonimmigrant Student."
The new fees will be implemented at 12:00 a.m. EDT June 24, 2019, after which time all schools and students will be required to pay the new and increased fees.

Students

Regulation requires all prospective F, M and J students to pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee before the Department of State issues a visa. Students and exchange visitors who pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee prior to the fee implementation date, but before they obtain a visa or enter the United States, will not need to pay the difference between the new fee and the old fee. Students will continue to pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee on FMJfee.com.

Schools

Schools will continue to pay all fees related to the Form I-17 at Pay.gov, and will pay the new Form I-290B, “Notice of Appeal or Motion,” fee at Pay.gov. Should a school submit a complete initial certification or recertification petition, petition update or Form I-290B and it is not filed or adjudicated before the fee implementation date, the school will not be required to pay the new or increased fee retroactively while in submitted status. If SEVP cancels a school’s submission on or after the date the new fees are implemented because the original petition was incomplete, the school will be required to pay the new fees when resubmitting their petition.

SEVP will communicate all updates regarding the new fee changes to SEVP’s social media channels and ICE.gov/SEVP. For specific questions, please contact the SEVP Response Center.
