Good morning folks, my cousin is currently in the US on a B1/B2 visa. He got an offer already in public Health Oklahoma State University, can he switch/change his B1/B2 visa to F1 while in the US.

He doesnt want to go back to Nigeria, the B1/B2 is still valid, and he wants to change the status here in the US to F1. Please anyone suggestion, and guidance on how to change from visit visa to student visa within the USA.

Please advise. Thanks

You can join this search group, there is hope of getting date

adelawry:


First log into your page and see if the "reschedule" option appears for you. If you have never rescheduled, then you should have the option. So, yes, you can reschedule but the earliest available date as at today is May 22, 2025. However, there is a possibility of getting date in September 2024 but extremely difficult and chances are slim.

As at 2022 when you purchased your MRV, you could reschedule 3 times. But right now, you can only reschedule once. I do not know if you have the 3 times option or the one time reschedule option. I would think it should be based on the updated platform and not a function of when you paid visa fee. so not sure about that.

Hey 🤠

** Look at the opinions of people who want to dominate Nairaland ?? Adding salt to the injuries of a distressed individual .

1. I read the comment of @spanishmilf and walked away , knowing that he is only good in selling stolen iPhones and other gadgets . He put iPhone 11 for sell at 250k (NGN) in this same Nigeria he is condemning as a suffering nation .

2. To my surprise , @fealessfang came up with the above opinion , rusbishing Nigeria to a nation where someone coming from the United States cannot even make it . Is that the advice you will give any wealthy Americans who is willing to come and establish in Nigeria??

3. The OP is as good as an American because he has lived all his life (perhaps in American streets) the way he narrated as a result of parental failures . I knew he needed the help of a Clinical Psychologist (because he might also be doing drug) but I did not want to sound insulting, hence i twisted it to a guidance counselor .

4. Here you are making jest of him and making fools of yourselves ( @fealessfang and @spanishmilf ) that he would suffer in Nigeria where people are still building mansions in Lekki, Magodo, buying expensive cars , and sending their children to Covenant University , American University of Nigeria , UnilaG etc and where business managers are still acquiring properties .

5. Truthfully. There is inequalities in the distribution of opportunities and wealth in Nigeria as a result of (some of) our past leaders failures . Yet Nigeria is still a wealthy nation with good population to succeed in reasonable businesses . God Bless Nigeria .


Best Wishes 🙏

Good day people, please can one schedule student visa interview appointment without I20? Apparently, one has to get the I20 before the interview.

Thenomad:




Someone should share update pls na...
We need dates.
If there is a group etc kindly fill me in.

Thank you

NorthernshoreTS:


Thank you so much for this update. My interview is scheduled for May 27th and I need to be in Canada by June 7th, So I didnt want a situation where my passport would still be with the US Embassy by then.

Thank you and congrats once again.

Ruby56:
Please who knows between Lagos and Abuja, which of them has shorter appointment dates. Is Abuja more lenient? My mum’s visa was denied in Lagos this month, I am looking to apply to Abuja

Chloraseptic:
I will surely contact you op when I get there. Interview process is the only thing standing in between me and America now.

It's better to be poor in America than rich in Nigeria.

Bros, seems you're a billionaire .......nah everything recommended you dey buy?

........and to say that you always dash NSE money self .......e be like say I go need some loan from you oooo.

Think it will be better you just pump your money on sound fundamental stocks and be collecting dividends yearly..........while you retain small portion, say 10% or 5% (depending on your pocket) of total fund for JIJO biz, this way, you'll limit the extent of jumping around in all stocks.
It's also good to always ask questions if you're not very sound in carrying out due diligence.......

One of the issues with Ellah Lakes is illiquidity. Sometimes ago, the directors holding unto it were told to release some for free float but I don't think it was followed thru by SEC or they're not mandated to relinquish some shares.......not very sure again.

If you must jump around as a newbie maybe, try and be buying fundamental ones at least.......with this you can convert to medium/long term if it's not meeting up with the target..........just my humble opinion anyway.

Hello Macky,

I wanted to ask how payments for the SEVIS fee works. I’ve heard only people abroad can make payments? You have any comments on this?

lasthero:



Mods, do your work na

Nig4Greatness:
.....
The website quoted is not run by US govt.but what the "natural born" laws clearly states is that any child born abroad to a US citizen is considered a natural born.
Simply put,irrespective of where a child is born,is a US citizen at birth and can vie for the presidency of the United States.

khiaa:


You are 100 percent correct.
How have you been?

Chicksy:
interview Done!!! Decision pending

LagosismyHome:


Easy to spot an oldie ....[b]in my time as well i20 [/b]was always shipped free to applicants but now its on the applicant expenses .

I guess one school might have started it as cost savings /shifting and majority of schools foĺlowed . very common practice now

TWoods:


Lol true. I guess it’s fair to say in my time too, schools happily mailed you brochures, application forms, housing vacancies, city/bus maps, nightlife ideas... all in one big package for free. You got personal calls to tell you that you had been granted admission and your i20, admission letter and fellowship package was mailed to you free. Times have indeed changed and this was a mere 15 years ago.

onihaxy:

@ log1

Thank you very much for your input

Can you please explain what you mean by Ace GRE and Toefl..
Do you mean score very High?

vickertony:

Well-done Boss,

Been reading your comments, seems you have experience with graduate admission,i have a few questions to ask you please!


1.I studied Accounting,can i get admission with funding, i graduated with 2.2, i know its upto 3. on naija scale of 5.0,i haven't seen my transcript, so i made the calculations my self, am serving by November, i only have statement of result and no cgpa is written on it.

Notthing is impossible just that you need to identify with many schools/faculty to know maybe they have fund for you

2. Will i write GRE, Toefl and Sat all at once to stand a chance of getting funded by the school i apply to and what grades should i aim to stand a chance in all three exams?

You don't need SAT since you are going for graduate studies. Don't just apply for GRE and TOEFL but ace it to stand a funding chance.

3.what are my chances of remaining in the USA after my graduation?I don't want to come back to Nigeria, ever!

I will be worry of getting here first before thinking of that.

4.Am looking at September 2018,when should i start applying for Admission?

Most times preparation is a year to entrance year, so for you the time is now. Register for standardized exams and get your transcript ready. Once you have done that, submit your application on time like before Jan 2018

5.I have this uncle in Missouri, do you think is better i apply to a university in Missouri in terms of Accommodation so as to stay with him,his family and other unforseen expenses?

is he ready to accommodate you? does he stay close to the campus? I suggest you don't start by thinking of getting help from anyone.

6.This my personal Hustle, my parents don't have much money to help me out, what are my chances of ever succeeding, i know some people here are from not so rich family.

That's why you need to ace your GRE and TOEFL in order to get a tuition waiver plus monthly stipend anything short of that may make your life miserable for you if you don't have sufficient money here.

Thanks, patiently waiting for your reply
