Please use Abuja and apply for expedited appointment, asap, after you must have booked for a regular appointment.

Bear in mind that you should at least attach your I-20, DS-160 and Sevis payment confirmation before you submit your expedited appointment application

After your submission, do not expect any email confirmation or a way to track the progress on your CGI dashboard.

The embassy will contact you with their decision.

If you don't get a decision in 3-5working days, you may send a reminder, through the "provide feedback" on your dashboard or send them an email at - support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com

Hi guys,

Can I still book an appointment in Lagos and get a date this July?

I have been hearing people getting 2022 or 2024 in their appointments. What if I expedite? Can I get a closer date?

God bless you!

Temitopebisi:
No. I didn't get an email when I submitted the request.

There's also no how to track until you receive an email from them.

Please did you get any email confirmation after you submitted your EA? And please how have you been tracking it?

After submitting mine I didn't get anything and the EA tab disappeared from my dashboard.

Temitopebisi:
You won't see a tab for a reminder. What I meant was that you use feedback tab to explain that you are still expecting their response.
Or better still send a mail to support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com

I submitted mine, 1am on Wednesday.

Please did you get any email confirmation after you submitted your EA? And please how have you been tracking it?

After submitting mine I didn't get anything and the EA tab disappeared on my dashboard.

tgbola:
since when did you submit a request? still waiting for mine to be approved too. submitted a request on tuesday. was 19th the earliest of all the dates you saw or something?

Abuja.

Oh okay, just so I'm clear:

I don't get confirmation email for completed emergency application.

And there is no way for me track its approval or denial, till they send me a decision via email.

Themaths:
Lagos or Abuja? When it your emergency request is approved, you will receive an email stating so.

Hopefully you would. But you should have followed the instruction on documents to attach - it was clearly stated on CGI.

Approvalll:
Please guys I just applied for emergency date but I only submitted my I-20 and no other documents will I get approved for the emergency appointment?

Abeg oo, I need response, so I can take next appropriate action!

OlAfredd:
Good morning,

Please how do I confirm approval of my emergency application? And should I have gotten an email when I submitted my application? I didn't get any email and I can't see the emergency tab again on my home page.

Check that question again. Are u sure it is not who can verify all you have filled in your country of residence. Check again to be sure

So funny thing is I just filled this question you pointed out now, and those I put as contacts aren't of aware of my plans..

However, here's the Q I was referring to:

Contact Person or Organization in the United States?
Your U.S. Point of Contact can be any individual in the U.S. who knows you and can verify, if necessary, your identity. If you do not personally know anyone in the U.S., you may enter the name of the store, company, or organization you plan to visit during your trip.

1. Most schools will only allow you transfer after your first semester with them but you can stylishly ask the program coordinator of the school you intend to transfer your sevis to that you know someone who wants to do that and if they can be of help to the person. I know some schools that help in that regard.
2.
A. I am not sure I came across this question on my form.
Whatever you do, make sure you say the truth. It helps

Thanks for the feedback, seems Q1 is a bit tricky, just to clarify, you mean I should ask Umass if they can assist with transfer of Sevis.

For Q2A - Contact Person or Organization in the United States?

Your U.S. Point of Contact can be any individual in the U.S. who knows you and can verify, if necessary, your identity. If you do not personally know anyone in the U.S., you may enter the name of the store, company, or organization you plan to visit during your trip.

Please here is my current status.

Umass Amherst with no funding CoA - $60k : submitted I-20 application to school on Sat. - resumption date: 1 Sept

MSUM- some form of funding CoA- $25K admission came with I-20 yesterday but funding was not on the I-20. Resumption date: Aug 18.

I got admitted to other schools- Arizona, Loyola, Fordham, Etsu, UWW, UWM and Fairfield. Got some of funding tho.

But I prefer Umass and my Bro, who is a US citizen and my sponsor, is also sync.
My Bsc, the Msc and current career are perfectly aligned - Accounting.

I've paid for visa and started filing the DS-160 but I've not paid for Sevis

So here are my questions:

1. Can I use the I-20 from MSUM for my interview and later change my Sevis to Umass before even leaving Nig?
Why? Cos the I-20 is with me and the CoA is small so want to avoid funding issue at the interview

2. On the DS-160 application: there are 3 parts:
A.Contact Person or Organization in the United States : should I put my bro or the school?
Side not states "Your U.S. Point of Contact can be any individual in the U.S. who knows you and can verify, if necessary, your identity. If you do not personally know anyone in the U.S., you may enter the name of the store, company, or organization you plan to visit during your trip.

B. Who is sponsoring your trip: this has to be bro?
C. Do you have fam in the US: my bro- guess I can't avoid this since he's bankrolling the project.
Other info:

I've never been to US but bro has been there for about 16years, but all other siblings and parents reside in NG and there have been cross visits over the years. Lastly, bear in mind that my bro stays in CT just 3hrs away from Amherst MA, so consider this info in your opinion.

So guys what do you think? I need your opinions and apart from the questions above, how to prob approach the family ties and sponsor.
