Hey 🤠

1. A lazy or impatient person would not be able to pay SEVIS fee on your behalf because the filling of the form needs accuracy that a 1st time payer might find too tasking and another aspect is that not all Western Union outlets understand or accept SEVIS fee payment.

2. Ask your sister to be patient and look out for Western Union outlet with "Bid Pay " Only WU with Bid Pay accepts sevis fee payment and the staffs would be able to guide you appropriately.

3. Google SEVIS fee and click on the first link which will take you to SEVIS website and follow the fee payment instructions. You should see where to fill up SEVIS payment coupon. You must input your sevis I'd number (as written on your form i 20) and your Host-University 's SEVIS CODE in the payment coupon.

4. Number 3 above is a tricky task because you must get the accurate School Code. Some schools with many campuses uses different school codes for each campus. Another aspect is the way you are going to align your school sevis code into the spaces provided in the payment coupon.

5. Your SEVIS number ie “N00” is located in the upper left corner of your Form-120. Your School Code look thus: BOS 214 F 10162000.

You have to generate a coupon with the Sevis number on your form I-120.

Here is the link: https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.html

Select pay with Western Union if you’re using it or pay with check.

chidiakwari:
No. you only need at least 6 months validity before your interview.

Hey 🤠

1. You stated above that your sponsor's account covers your whole tuition expenses which is fine and leaves you with no burden of sponsor again. Indicate your sponsor as the over-all person paying for your trip.

2. Lets say the whole tuition fees is N500 but you did not receive any scholarship when you applied , meanwhile your sponsor has N1000 in her account to display, so tell me what you are looking for again? You can tell the consular verbally about your savings and other personal financial plans.

3. Ask those people you heard from to guide you in the remaining self-adventure . For me you have passed according to sense 1 above.

Hey 🤠

A2A. @Greatkenny2.


** I remember you having a sister in the USA who wants to sponsor .


1. Any sponsor (s) who cannot cover your whole tuition expenses (except for personal spendings) is an " incapable sponsor "

2. If your NGN. 5 M will cover more than the outstanding deficit (till your final day of class) yes you can provide such financial evidence in you account . Some western embassies now prefers that the whole tuition funds be even deposited in the student's account in the case of the death of the sponsor or change of minds 🙄

3. Don't indicate joint sponsor on your Form I-20. If you want to update your I 20 amount you can transfer the 5.M NGN into your sister's account and get updated financial statement which you can send to your school for updated I 20.

Hey 🤠


A2A @xenoo.


1. Forgive your relative in the USA and even give kudos to her for releasing her financial statement in the 1st instance. America is where every nuances of law counts above all citizens.

2. In this respect, you just have to look out for a human or another entity as sponsor but USA consulars does not like loan for International Students. 85% of these loans re actually created for American students which can be forgiving or cover with government charities or jobs after graduation (unlike foreign students who are expected to return home).

3. I won't be able to elaborate further on the possible solutions in order to avoid conflicting debates .

4. Nevertheless, i am not totally erasing the possibility of an F-1 visa with a student loan. A very smart and extremely outstanding student from a poor family background might find favor in the eyes of some consulars based on the fact that the consular (s) may not want to cut-short such student future.

I got an email this morning stating I'm approved for a visa interview.

I got Aug 13th

It's too close to my resumption date, I hope to get a more better date soon.

😁

Grit2943:
Excited to hear that. You are welcome

Asher100:
Thank you sir...it went through within 10hours and i changed back to lagos to get a date around Early August

Grit2943:
Change the location on your profile from Lagos to Abuja. You will get approval within 24 hours. Once you are approved, change the location on your profile back to Lagos and then schedule your interview.

mayDtolu:
If someone gets denied this month and their school resumes in July, can they still schedule another interview?

That means the adopted exchange rate is $1=#1400

When’s your interview?

Actually, God did it. However, having funding helps. Because she didn’t even ask me questions more than four or so. And when she saw my funding, she said “ohh, you’re a fully funded PhD student”. And I said yes. Then she asked what would u be doing when u come back, and I gave some very stupid answer which wasn’t even coherent..lol..I wasn’t really vocal (was tense and tired and anxious and I was fasting Ramadan too) while answering her, and she was the one that ask me to relax ☺️ lol

She already decided to give the visa after she saw excess funding on my i20. Funding helps , even if it’s little, it will save you from too much talks and unnecessary salaye

Hey 🤠

1. At least you are happy that you got the visa first . Someone who doesn't have a USA visa won't think about bringing in family or wife . Congratulations.

2. Your would-be wife will not have any issue joining you and she doesn't need to join you on F2 visa. She can join you via B2 visiting . Even if she joins you via F2 visa she will still need to change status before she can work because F2 visa is absolute dependent .

3. If i were you (as a smart Nigerian), i will plant a seed in her before traveling and by the time you are in the USA she would delivered . Now tell me the VO who won't allow your wife and kid to visit you ? It might not be in one appearance (depends on how you plan it) but your family will eventually join you. Let her join you on B2 visa later .

Best Wishes 🙏

Alakoriomo:
Had my F-1 visa interview yesterday for my phd and I got it. Fully funded too. However, I told the consulate that I am single and not married and the VO probably wrote that down right there. However, the possibility of me getting married before I leave for the program is high. Won’t this be an issue for my woman if she starts appearing for a F-2 visa interview in few years to come by God grace?

Well, to add.. I saw family people getting denied yesterday. I don’t know their visa purpose but then going to an F-1 interview with your wife and kid look somehow

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

1. If you have the money go and pay your SEVIS fee right away . Otherwise, every other thing is a gamble . SEVIS fee is payable (indirectly) to the USA government. That is part of where they accrue funds in funding International Students Scholarships (Fulbright) and others.

2. You may attach your MRV and Bio-Data page of your Form I 20 to request your F1 emergency appointment but i think SEVIS payment receipt/evidence is required.


Best Wishes 🙏

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

1. Go ahead and pay your MRV. You will secure your F1 appointment before your resumption. Students are usually given emergency appointment slot priority.

2. However, you must be certain that you have paid your SEVIS fee.

Best Wishes 🙏

Greatkenny2:
Hey guys... For someone who wants to pay MRV this week and search for dates.. do you think he might get a favourable date considering school starts august 26?

Grit2943:
The validity date of this exchange rate has been shifted multiple times from April 2 to 6 to 7 and now 9 😯
