I registered mine with 80k both TOEFL and GRE. It may not be a scam....!!!!!!

lifeofgolden1:


Lolssssss.......Bro, TOEFL registration fee is 185$ and it's alarming that you are offering such cheap amount for registration, I laugh in swahili.
Scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (No offence intended Bro). I remember registering through a someone earlier this year for my TOEFL exam, but when it got to the time for me to obtain my result in PDF format, I saw a charge of 250$ or thereabout on my portal, I was shocked because I never ordered anything whatsoever, why this charge?!. I guess they registered me on credit and that can explain why the price of registration was cheap, hoping you fail or something.....abeg go and register yourself.

[b][/b][i][/i]My mail to the Lagos Consular and response from them this afternoon:


Dear U.S. Consular,

I am a doctoral (PhD) student of the Department of Economics, University of New Hampshire, to resume this Fall. I was given a Graduate Assistant (GA) job and I am expected to resume on the 11th of August, 2020, which is also the date for the commencement of classes.

I, therefore, kindly request an emergency Visa appointment to enable me to start up the program and the job appointment.

Thanks.

Hello,

At this time the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is closed to student visa operations. In a time of routine operations, applicants can apply for expedited appointments, to "skip the line" so to speak. As we are closed, there is no line to skip. The U.S. Consulate will publicize any announcement on the resumption of student visa interviews once information is available.

Respectfully,
Lagos Visa Unit

Congratulations on your admission dear.Have you gotten your I-20 form from the school? If no ,you need to apply to the school for it so you can use it for your visa application.I doubt if there’s an available date at Lagos embassy but Abuja ‘s available date is November for visa interview.

Please what’s the name of the school?

I got this e-mail responses from Abuja Consular and Lagos Consular today

Both the Embassy and Consulate are closed for routine services. Student visas fall within this category. We will make announcements on social media and our website when we reopen for visa interviews.

Please also consult with your university’s website. Some schools have already made decisions about the Fall semester. Some are still evaluating their options.

Regards.

Hello,

At this time the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is closed to all visa operations.



Please know that the entire Department of State team is taking this issue seriously and are seeking ways to ensure that aspiring and returning students will receive priority attention once routine visa operations can resume. The U.S. Consulate will publicize any announcement on the resumption of student visa interviews once information is available.



Respectfully,


Lagos Visa Unit


So, this is the case now

AdoChel:
I already submitted it. Would filling another ds160 render the former one null..?
Does anyone know when the embassy in Lagos would make appointment dates available? Wondering whether I should wait...

You do not need to fill another DS160 to switch your appointment venue provided your DS160 is alright. I interacted with a Consular who told me that. Just choose Abuja on the schedule appointment page. As for me, I will wait for Lagos because there is plan to consider F1 visa applicants as priority whenever they commence. This information was contained in the e-mail I received from them when I made the inquiry.
Best.

Snakedoctor1:
What is the earliest interview date anyone has secured for Falls resumprion, waiting for the embassy to reopen ? I could only get November 3.

Baba, I am secured for Fall resumption too. Please, how did you come to get a date? I can only see "there are currently no appointments available" on my application/appointment page.

Great one.

Please, anyone with offer from University of New Hampshire?
