Good day friends, trust we are doing great? I pray may God grant all our heart desires. I need some clarification on my SEVIS and it has been disturbing me. I don't want the SEVIS to be my stumbling block.

I paid my SEVIS fee in December 2019 with the hope of using it in august 2020 but was unable to due to covid, so i differed my admission till this year. In Jan this year, the ISSI coordinator in my school told me that I don't need to pay a new SEVIS fee that she has updated my SEVIS record. But I just learnt that SEVIS is for a year last week. I have been issued my i20 with the old SEVIS number so I don't know what to do now? Will I pay a new SEVIS fee and inform the school? How about my i20? Please help me O. I am on my knees. I am about to secure a date. Anybody with suggestion or similar experience? Thanks in anticipation.

It would be safe to pay for another SEVIS Fee, the one with you has passed a year validity. The school can re-issue another within 24hrs to you. Best

When filling the Wes form, do I get a copy sent after verification and payment at no cost or I need to add myself has the recipient which has cost attached. Please help with an answer

You will get your own copy shipped to you. The cost is inclusive of what you are paying. Ensure you choose Course By Course ICAP

Good day guys, thank you for all the insights shared, my question is, I am about to pay for my SEVIS fee, but if I don't end up going for the VISA interview or probably I don't get a Visa, then I defer my admission till Spring (January 2022), will I still need to pay SEVIS fee when going for VISA interview for spring 2022 admissions? This is because I learnt the SEVIS fee is valid for one year.
Thanks.

SEVIS Fee is for a year. So if you are not going to embassy this fall, it will still be valid till June next year assuming you paid this June. Best

Yes they did not put it in that section. But if you check well there is **. Then the ** is also put after the family.

Then in the remarks, they explained the meaning of ** in the second line.

“** With Graduate school tuition award, resident tuition and non resident tuition is waived”.

Someone need to pay attention to details well before they can see that so I don’t blame the VO. I’ve emailed the school for an updated I-20 clearly showing it.

The fault is from the school. Under that Fund from the school, they ought to put the amount they are giving you there. The school should reissue another I-20. Best of luck

Hello guys , pls how did US schools calculate the exchange rate they use for their statement of account for international student

Going by the Visa Fee, it is 420naira to a dollar but if using current banks official rate, it is 440

Charles61:
Please guys, I evaluate my HND with WES for Canada immigration, so please how can I upgrade it for USA education evaluation?

You will have to create another account, then you use the new account created to send them email using the Contact US option when you logged in, you state what you want and also state the Reference number of that Canada own, they will ask you to make payment and then transfer your files. This would be faster and should be ready within 10days or max 15days.

November last year. I guess my question is, have people who were not actively working as at their appointment date been successful at getting a visa. I was denied in January this year due to not having strong ties to Nigeria. Since then I haven’t been lucky getting a job. I’m afraid to be rejected again on the same basis. I would appreciate your insight on this. Thank you

I think November last year is not that far a gap. But not to show been idle, you can volunteer at a place to gain experience. Did you get me?
Also, try and post your transcript for the last Interview here, Experienced people will help you scrutinize where the issue might be. It might not be the Work Experience issue. All the best.

babyest:
Please can someone help me out? I’m not sure what to do. I’ve been actively searching for a job since my nysc but haven’t been successful so far. Anyone in the house who got their visa even though they were currently unemployed?
Thank you ��

When did you finish NYSC? NYSC should also count as a Job Experience.

Please help it is urgent.
Thank you.

Seems you are using CGi for India. See that attachment you attached

Molly90:
Choose any date available. If they have a problem with it, they will reschedule you themselves which I think is better.

As regards selecting yes to haven planned for your trip, I will advise you’re sincere while filling every aspect of your form. Hence, if no preparations have been made especially purchase of tickets, select NO and just fill your the length of your program and earliest travel date written on your I20

Alright, Thank you sister.

horlahsunbo225:
Pick any dates you see boss

Thanks baba. As regards the Have you made travel plans? The answer should be NO right since I have not paid for the flight?

customised87:
If they released Wednesday dates then I suppose they are now ready to work on Wednesdays. All Wednesday’s in June were opened by them so I guess you are safe to choose it.

Thanks Boss

mantics:
Saw available date to be June 23rd which falls on a Wednesday. Is it safe to choose or they only attend to F1 applicants Tuesdays and Wednesdays only? Also on the DS160 form, Under have you made plans for travel, is it adviseable to select Yes and use the start date on I-20 as the Arrival date or like 10days earlier?

Can anyone assist with this? Thanks

DIY? Did you get a text before going?

Not DIY but I have captured since January. So it's actually overdue.

adebisilucy:
where did you collect your passport, Abuja or where please

Abeokuta Passport Office

shagamite:
sorry when did you capture and did you get message for pick up? i captured ending last month in abk too and my collection date is 12 of May, but i never go check.

I am not sure your passport will be ready but you can check. I was called to pickup.

Guy your immigration officer is not lying is this guy up wey they misyahn that place dry when I got there unlike before

Okay. If you think I am lieing. Good luck to everyone.

[quote author=simeon77 post=101930236][/quote]Oh, sorry, mine is Abeokuta

Esjayde:
This is getting confusing. My immigration guy at Abeokuta has been swearing that there are still no booklets, but some ppl here are collecting.
The whole thing just tire person. Anyway make I wait till end of month as dem talk

It's not confusing. What your contact should have told you is the date they printed upto and still expecting more but that they do not receive booklet recently is a far lie. The date of issue is May 18 which is Tuesday.

1beat:
Oga stop misleading people. why now, are you doing this for likes or what ?
I was at IMMIGRATION OFFICE yesterday I left around 3:30pm in finding solution to my issue with one immigration officer I gave money to in Abuja whom I paid for DOB correction. When matter don pass cry it become laugh because is painful the situation I find myself. They're only arranging files in preparation for booklet next week. You come her dey yanh anyhow. People that captured last month they collect passport. Lie family

Nope. They printed passports this week. Your contact is lieing. I collected today.

horlahsunbo225:
If it's same sevis ID then you don't need to

Hello Bro,

I sent you DM. Kindly reply

Can we also create a Post on Nairaland on this booklet racketeering and push for mods to help take to front page?

Please let us trend the hashtag

#NigPassportExtortion
#ReleaseOurPassports
#NigImmigrationScam

Who knows, something good might come out of it.

@YEAEMEDIA

I suggest we drop the Hashtag here and others can follow through it. I suggest the below. #ReleaseOurPassports
#NigImmigrationExtortion
#NigImmigrationPassport
#NigPassport

Any two or three from above or others been suggested

YEAEMEDIA:
Let us all open a group and start a trend on twitter, we will be consistent with out tweeting and hastag and soon it will have a lot of impression

Yes. Let us agree on a hashtag here so that others can just search for the hashtag and retweet and also write their own tweet and use same hashtags. I think 2 or 3 hashtags is good. We cannot just decide to be looking like this. I believe this can generate lots of concern than even we might anticipate.

shockabsorber10:
Exactly bro I've started mine on twitter. NIS ibadan is the most irresponsible out of all of them. We can't just sit down like this and watch those bastards do us harm. Ibadan NIS office is extremely useless

I tweet at them at least once in two days. I do tag Aregbe, Babandede and Presidency. Only if the so called Influencers on Twitter can be tagged but it seems it's only gigs that will get them money they do trend. This is crazy.

shockabsorber10:
Lobatan maybe we should protest oh... Like you said bro twitter all social media. We can't just sit down like this... Radio stations tried it in ibadan after may lies and propaganda those ones shut no talk about am again. For their PCO to be bragging that even the president won't do am anything

I believe if most people bombard their twitter account and possibly get a hashtag trending, something might be done. NIS is the most irresponsible organization in this country. Imagine you saying you have captured since January and they telling you some people has done since December. Like they take pride in it. Useless mofos
