jerrypeacelinks:
please I have an enquiry to make. I paid for my visa fee using th GTBank mobile app as it was on a Saturday and dates were quickly being taken. Now I want to know, which receipt (MRV) do I take to the embassy and how do I generate it? Kindly help a brother.

Go to any gtb branch, meet the person in charge of the visa payment, tell him you want to print your payment receipt and stamp it. They will ask you to login to ur acct and dey will hep you download the receipt, and print it for you.

Good evening all. Pls I have some questions. I sent my passport and document to the embassy via dhl. Is there any way to know if they have received it?
Will the embassy send me any notification upon reception of my documents?

CuteRedd:
I was quite impressed with her answers. Two things I can pick out...She does have genuine interest in the field and was confident to show it... Soon ours will end in praise like this

urs will end up even better. You won't be tense as I am now. It will be a straight victory

Olalekank:

Yes o, I was really glad to see that after all the drilling and impressive answers, she didn't get denied.

I asked o. But they said they don't give tracking for embassy parcels

I had my interview on 4th December at Lagos Embassy.

V.O: Good Morning, Can I have your Passport and I.20
Me: I obliged.
V.O: What course are you going to study?
Me: Am going for my graduate studies in Computer science at TAMUC
V.O: Why Computer science:
Me: I did computer science as my under graduate course, during that time, I developed a penchant for programming. It has been something am very passionate about, so I decided to get an advance degree and specialized in the field.
V.O: How did you hear about the school?
Me: I was doing a research online on school that offers database administration as an option in computer science, TAMUC was one of the schools I came across.
V.O: Why do you want to specialize in Database administration?
Me: (I didn’t prepare for this, but I had to come up with something). Database insecurity is one of the major problems facing Nigeria at the moment, we hear every time about people’s account being hacked in and the issue of cyber-theft is not left out. All these challenges are cropping up because of the poor implementation of the database servers. I want to specialize in this area so that I can contribute to combating these acts.
V.O: Did you apply to other schools?
Me: I applied to three schools, MTSU, Illinois state university and TAMUC
V.O: Did they all admit you?
Me: YES
V.O: so why TAMUC?
Me: The computer science department at TAMUC has a research area that most interest me and can benefit Nigeria if well detected. That is on Database SQL Injection and The implementation of ACID property of a database. Also I was awarded $1000 scholarship which also qualifies me for in-state tuition.
V.O: What is SQL Injection?
Me: SQL Injection is a technique used by Database hackers to add their own SQL code to the database via website input thereby making the database work out of the normal ways and work as they intended.
V.O: (He types something that looks like forever and continued). How did you hear of these research?
Me: My course advisor told me about it during one of our conversations.
V.O: and what did they find out after the research?
Me: The research is still ongoing, which is why am keen to know more about it.
V.O: Did you write any standard test?
Me: Yes, I wrote TOEFL and GRE
V.O: Who is sponsoring your trip?
Me: My cousin
V.O: Do you have is statement of account?
Me: Yes. Passed it on.
V.O: (He looked at it and returned it, then started typing again and brought out a white paper, wrote something on it and returned it with my passport and I.20). Your scholarship is not reflecting on your sevis profile, update it and submit your evidence and passport to us via DHL. No need for you to come back here to submit. Go through the paper I give you and see what you have to do.
Me: Okay. Thank you sir

I just sent the updated I.20 today and the dhl said it will be delivered within 21 working days. Please any1 sent additional documents to the embassy recently, How long did it take to deliver it. The thought of that 21 days is killing. school starts on 10th January.

Abacino007:



Hello, I hope the information I am about to give will be helpful. This is not a problem. Just send an e mail to the school and ask them to update your i20 and Sevis. Immediately I saw your post, I mailed my school directly telling them that I need an updated i20 and Sevis covering all my GA benefits. To my surprise is has been updated.
Thank you for sharing your “challenge”. It helped me and I hope my contribution will be helpful also.

I have called the ISSO office and they have updated it. They said they will be shipping the new 1.20 by tomorrow. Thanks guys. Am very grateful. I will update you guys every step of the way

fairheart:
Oh, like I said. You need updated I-20. This is simple. Kindly write to your school, and request that the (i-20) which the consular refer to as "Sevis" need to be updated--showing the amount of scholarship offered. A & M will likely want you to pay for another shipping fee. You can get this done between now and thursday, and by Monday, you can send in the new i-20. Act as fast as you can. Goodluck.

OK. I have mailed the school . Hoping they reply ASAP. Thanks a lot. Am grateful

fairheart:
First, was it full scholarship?
Secondly, is there a student profile on your school website for accepted student?
Third, which school is it?
Fourth, confirm from your school is scholarship information was added to the database your i-20 is generated from.

My advice: get a letter from your school stating amount of scholarship offered, and the basis on which it is awarded.

Moreover, , the form i-20 is always generated from a government designated website, where each school insert your information to generate the i-20 for you. Both the US government, embassy, and your school have access to this database. Note that it's stated on your i-20 that scholarship is awarded. It is possible this award is not showing on the database, which the consular might have access during the interview (I am not sure). So, contact your school and tell them to check the place your i-20 was generated and update it that you have been offered scholarship. Additionally, tell your school to get you a letter showing the award offered. Print the letter; make sure your school include their scholarship committee contact details or information of school official that can attest the scholarship is awarded--should the embassy want to verify. Now, compose a letter by yourself, detailing how this case unfold. Pack every documents, including your scholarship doc, i-20, and take it to DHL and mail it out to the embassy. Detail in the letter what the VO told you to do.

It is a $1000 scholarship that qualified me for in state tuition.
The scholarship is not showing on my i20 because I have received my i20 b4 it was offered
But I have a letter from the school showing the amount and the things covered by the scholarship issues by the school. I also showed it to the VO but he said I should update it on my profile.
The school is Texas A&M University Commerce
But the white paper the VO gave me, he wrote something like "Update Sevis to reflect scholarship"

Hello house, pls I need help. I had my interview today at Lagos. I was not approved neither was I denied. After the interview, the VO said my scholarship is not reflecting on my profile. He gave me a white paper with my passport back, saying once I update my profile to reflect the scholarship, I should send the prove of update and and my passport via dhl. Pls I don't understand what am suppose to do and the paper he gave me did help much. Anyone had such an experience before, pls where exactly should I do the update. I will Share my full transcript once a decision is made by them. Please help a sister

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This new school site is frustrating

This is the same problem am facing. what is really going on?

please do NOUN students build or design something as part of Project or it is just the write ups?
for example during my first degree, computer science students are to build a software to compliment their project write ups while Engineering students designed some kind of devices for their projects. I want to know if NOUN also works like that
