Hello, does anyone know how long it takes to get called for passport pick up for a drop box in Lagos from the day you submit?

January 13th

uchennangene:
Congratulations to you. I tap into this.

If you don’t mind, what’s the start date for the Spring 2022 at Texas A&M?

I also got admission for Spring 2022 and just wondering when the exact resumption sedate is. I’m yet to get my I-20.


Thanks in advance for your response.

Not at all

Mickeybook:
Congratulations Bro... Were you asked to make any cash payments after your approval if yes , how much ?

My initial admission was for FALL 2021 but after using my emergency option for Fall in August, I still couldnt get earlier date before resumption so I deferred my admission to spring the picked September using my emergency date options.

Phenomenalmau:
Congratulations…please how did you get an early interview date for spring admission, I have spring admission too and we are unable to get a close interview date, my school resumes January 2022

VISA APPROVED GUYS! Spring 2022

Date: 21st September 2021
Location: Abuja

My first time going to the US Embassy but this forum has been instrumental to my practice and information, so I had to just post mine for others to see.

I was interviewed by a white woman.

VO: Good morning, pass me your documents.
ME: Good morning. Sorry before we start, I stutter a bit but I will be fluent as possible
VO: No problem
VO: I can see you are going to Texas A&M University
ME: Yes, that's right
VO: For masters in Engineering?
ME: Masters in Industrial Engineering.(I corrected her immediately)
VO: Okay
VO: What do you do?
ME: I work at an Engineering firm in Lagos as a Technical Officer.
VO: What will you be doing after your study?
ME: I will definitely be coming back to Nigeria to continue working at my current company as I have an offer of a managerial role upon my return.
VO: I can see you work at XXXXXXXX
ME: Yes (I repeated the company name)
VO: What do they do?
ME: They are into fabrication of tanks, water and sewage treatment systems
VO: Give me an approximate staff strength of the company
ME: We have two Offices. One in Lagos and other in Ibadan with an approximate of 60 staff in total.
VO: who is sponsoring your study?
ME: My Uncle will be sponsoring me, he has been sponsoring my education as a child.
VO: What does he do?
ME: He is a medical doctor and he owns two hospitals, one in Lagos and other in Ogun state.
VO: Is he in Nigeria?
ME: Yes he is (He actually just returned from the US so my response was a bit shaky).
VO: Ok, I will be approving your visa......... (I always read on here that people stops hearing what the VO is saying about Covid at this point) I literally didn't hear anything as well, different thoughts and emotions all at once.

I collected my white paper and in two days my passport was in Lagos.

It was just God, that's all I can say!

Yes I was given the option of starting online or deferring. so I had to defer.

EmmaChe:
You should have contacted your advisor first and asked for the absolute deadline that you can resume for fall?

I did that. I can resume a week after my initial resumption date on my i20 and a letter will be issued by the grad college. There are schools that allow you to resume even 2wks after.

Hello Guys,

I applied for EA on the 19th of July for Abuja and got approved yesterday. I saw August 18th downward but sadly my start date is August 17th so apparently the date won't work for me.

So I used my EA to pick September 21st with the plan to defer my admission to spring 2022.

Guys can I use that my September 21st for my Spring 2022 when I get my new I-20 ?
