Yes it is possible, your university has your records, so you have to inform them about the transfer, or else they would not transfer your SEVIS to the college you Tryna go.
Mind you, you can only transfer your SEVIS records when you are in the US only, and not from Nigeria.
Procedure:
When you get to the US, inform your university you want to transfer to another school. Easy, they would ask you to send the college's I20 so they can process the transfer. Notify your college you are transferring from a university, so Incase they get a notification form the university they would reply faster, and process your transfer asap. The most important thing to do is to contact your university first, and inform your college. The rest is in their hands to process the transfer, and issue you a new I20.

I will post my travel experience soon but New York Poe is the best !

My Short travel experience

I took off from Lag with Qatar on 11th, 2:30pm Nigeria time.
We stopped at Doha and 2 hours after we kicked off to new york. 13 hours journey no be moi moi. They kept giving us food and drinks... Meanwhile pls and pls, when those oyibo FA ask what you want, make sure you hear well oooooo. because I heard rice in what they mentioned I quickly jumped to rice cos I believe nobody can go wrong in making rice not knowing its a vegetarian food.
They usually have two foods:one veg and one non veg. And they give you want. I drank enough Juice and cola to compensate their nonsense food. There are thousands of movies to watch.
I heard Ethiad dey serve peppersoup(someone should confirm tho)

Whoever brought the fear of POE should be flogged and jailed. DO NOT PANIC!!!





They don't even have time to drill you cos they know you had a long journey. they are just doing their job. I didn't spend more than five mins with the official. Showed them my passport, 1-20, scanned my finger prints and prolly took my pix and off I went.

And America is organized. In fact those people no like stress. Everything was spelt out in the airport. You can't get lost and even if you do, ask question. It was in Naija airport that the search was real but other airports had scanner or so. They didnt use their hands to search our carry ons.

Finally going to America was a mixed feeling. I wasn't excited and I wasn't sad either but I just knew it was a "start of something good".

AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS I WELCOMED MYSELF TO AMERICA... GOD'S OWN COUNTRY.

please which state is your school because am also planing of taking jfk as my Poe

joeluv:
Fair fax county is Northern Virginia. So better he lands in Dulles. If he lands in JFK, greyhound and mega bus would stop you in DC, where you would need to take a train to VA which is very stressful. Fair fax is about 20-30 mites from Dulles. When he reached Dulles he should take the shuttle bus from Dulles. He would be charged about $20-30 to fairfax. The shuttle bus would drop you at your house.

thank you but he prefer New York because it a direct flight from Nigeria via Arik

LagosismyHome:
Dulles is definitely closer then....because even from dulles if he calls Uber or shuttle bus it might be around $20 to drive him there . It will be much easier if he goes to Dulles

But if he must use flight to newyork then Bestbus will take him to Fairfax for $35 . From JFK he finds his way to Penn station by train.

Then at Penn station find the Bestbus. They have service to 2 locations in Fairfax County from Penn Station in New york. They go to Springfield or Vienna both are the closest to his destination in Virginia. He needs to check out of springfield or Vienna which is closest to his exact location...so to Newyork dont use greyhound instead use Bestbus

thank you yes he prefer New York because it a direct flight so that he can get out of Poe and get a bus because he said Arik we take him to New York direct is better than having stop over in another country because he does not want any delay

LagosismyHome:
Anyone is fine and reliable . Both will get him there and once he crosses POE no rush again ...bus will be cheaper although more stressful because he has luggages ...where exactly is he going . What city not state let me break it down his options ......

is going to fairfax Virgina

LagosismyHome:
There are very few direct flight ie United which have stopped flying anyway.... it doesnt have to be a direct flight so for Dulles check Qatar airline. ......

lagos -Qatar - Dulles then Virginia is so near.... depending on where in Virginia he can catch the train (although stressful with luggages) or he comes out of the airport in Dulles and take a taxi

Except if he must fly direct and enter his POE by friday .(which means he left last night 11pm arik ) Then take Arik to NY which avoids transit time but Arik too sometime fit cancel fights. ...then Lagos to JFK catch the bus to where in Virginia (its not far with bus )

so if he get to jfk he can take a bus to Virgina or local flight which one is more good and reliable bro because it very urgent

which airline goes to Dulles because he said Arik is less for him and he can get a local flight to Virgina because no Airline goes to Dulles direct from here

hello house a friend of mine is going to Virgina but he can't get a direct ticket online and also it more cost can he get a direct to New York and from New York he can get a local flight because his school resume in Friday so his thinking of Arik airline
