nnamdistan if you read my last post I said someone here can pay your Sevis using "Western Union Quick Pay" check or money order. As long as you are a Nigerian student, you can't pay with a credit card no matter what - even if the person is in the US or using a credit card issued in the States. Once your SEVIS ID is entered into the online payment system it will automatically detect your identity and decline it. So the above are your only two options or better still go to the Seme place and diy.

Dartmouth College (New Hampshire) is one out of the six colleges/universities in the entire US that offers "full need blind financial aid" to international students and it's also reputed as an Ivy. Because of this, you should be able to get a picture of how competitive it will be getting into that school, I got a Nigerian friend though who attends there and according to him, if you are very lucky to get in there then you will most certainly be able to finance your education all the way regardless of your families economic status. The admission requirements isn't what I can start counting out here but it is way too much. If you are a fire brain then sure you can give it a shot, all the best!!!!

Then one thing about Massachusetts is that the city is relatively small and majority of the population are students because of the number of institutions there are numerous. If you are applying to top schools, you should be aware that they receive thousands of application worldwide so your chances of getting an admission decision could take up to months unlike when your applying to moderate ranked schools which could take as little as 2weeks. So check with the school's admission policy before you get committed to them, that's my best advise.

And as for those paying SEVIS fee, why would you want to waste your time and resources traveling all the way to another place just to get the fees paid. I will tell you this! If you got families here or a highly trusted friend, simply send them the $200 and ask them to pay it for you via "Western Union Quick Pay" or "check or money order". That was how I paid mine during my time so I didn't have to go through all those hassles. Please I ain't in no way soliciting to help anyone make any payment. I am only but sharing my own experience which I hope someone would find useful.

@kidUrbane, thanks for sharing that. I give my words that there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a community college. If you're in the right age (not so important) , the school is licensed, you know what you want and reasons for choosing that school as well as being able to convey it to the consular, you are as good as being on the edge like other applicants who are going with four year college's I-20. Like I keep saying and would never stop, your chances of getting a visa is 100% if you put everything to God. Don't trust your instincts or what others might say to you. It's appalling how some fellaz here have instilled false information and fear to applicants concerning this issue. It's totally FALSE. Good luck to you and should you require more scopes please share it on here and I hope to assist however I can.

Best wishes to you all finding their way here soon and once again I want to use this opportunity to appeal to all members, particularly those who were actively participating on this forum last year. It is not good that you came here and got all the info you needed which helped you secure your visa or not and at the end of the day, you are no where to be found. It is being very ungrateful, you guys should please come back and assist these upcoming ones. Don't forget sometime ago you were in the same shoes as them - being very anxious and seeking for information. Now that you made it through by God's grace, please show some appreciation by returning and share your experiences or make intellectual contributions . Peace out!!!

@house, thanks for all your contributions. Its been quite informative.
My texas-based school just replied me that my I-20 has been mailed off to me by regular post yesterday saying I should expect it in my P.O Box in 3-12weeks, For those who received their package(s) in the post office box, how long did it take from the time it was sent to when it was delivered to your post office box?

Also, I am waiting for other USA school's decisions, Would I have any problem if I'm offered admission and I accept it, prompting the processing of another I-20?

Can I start processing my visa appointment now with the already sent I-20 and what are the steps involved if yes?
Pls your contributions and advice are needed?
Thanks

I was denied a visa in Abuja Embassy yesterday just because I didnt tell the VO the meaning of Standard Deviation.I never planned for that kind of question.
I will surely re apply again but its gonna be in Lagos because i cant stand the stress I passed thru in Abuja.
