Paywole: TNT is the cheapest 12500.fedex like 23k or so cant remember dt actual figure again jare bt i used TNT

Paywole: Schedule a pick up with any courier service here in nigeria and give them the schools address but try and make sure you call their kearnery international office first and inform them about your plans on how you wish to get the I-20 from them..i used TNT then for mnsu and they delivered my I-20..

mr swagger: Hello house, I hail all the gurus in da house, my guy Bigfrancis, imperiouxx, kpolli and everyone in da house

Please I intend receiving my i-20 from Minnessota state university, Mankato and the school said I can receive it through fedEx or DHL by signing up to eshipglobal.

After i signed up to eshipglobal, I couldn't proceed in knowing the rate of my shipment because the system said I entered an invalid address.

I correctly wrote out my home and email address but it still gives me the same error.

I also saw on their website that they don't accept credit cards from Nigeria.
I just don't know what to do now.

My sponsor tried getting a US contact for me but all efforts proved abortive so I intend receiving my i-20 package by eshipglobal.

I don't want to use regular mail to receive my document because the school said it will take 3-6 weeks before it gets to me but I even think it might even take longer than that and that is suicide.

Pls who in the house has used eshipglobal or anyone having the same issues with me should please guide me through. I need your help.

umoski1: Hi Everyone.Had my interview today in Abuja and i must say it went well even though i wasnt granted a visa :....I answered all questions from the VO and he was about handing me a green ticket when he stopped and asked for my Letter of acceptance,i handed it over to him and after checking for a while,he said he cant issue me a visa this time and i asked him why,he took his time to explain to me that my presentations and documents are very okay but Community colleges dont stand a chance,he went as far as telling me that there's a 98% guaranty denial of visa for anyone who picked a community.He told me to choose a University and come back and then i will stand a chance.My fellow People,pls try and get a good university cos community colleges are screwed.thats my advise.anyways am on the internet now searching for a good university for Fall Semester.Thanks

Prettychyna: Interview time was 7:30am in lagos. Got there around 6am.when it was my turn,I went to a chinese guy
VO: why are you going to US?
Me: am going for a phd program in human development and family studies.

Me: because they have seasoned professors in my field of interest
Vo: what other school did you apply to?
Me: I applied to a uni in canada(MUN) and texas a&m uni kingsville
Vo: why did you choose TTU over TAMUK?
Me: its because TTU offered me full funding
Vo: what course did you do in your masters?

Vo: what course did you study in undergraduate?
Me: I have a bachelor of science in nursing

He didn't ask for any document,or gre though I wrote both gre and toefl. That's how it went

dimejibab: @mr olarwalay....pls,i have posted a thread yestaday but since then i av not gotten any reply.pls,i need an urgent answer to my request and i guess u can help me out.i want to apply for america student visa sequealing to admission given to me at houston community college,houston texas.pls,i need all the likely quetions and answer to the question i may be asked.thanks,im counting on u

mario2575: Please I am expecting my i-20 in a few days but but I don't have a TOEFL and GRE score because my university waived it for me. What are my chances of getting the visa since I haven't taken any exams? Or is it compulsory to have taken them because the school I applied to doesn't need them

mr swagger: @Olarwalay, thnx for your kind response. I will take the same route with you as well. I will tell my sponsor to look for a US address for me so that I will mail it there and they will then mail it to me.

It seems faster that way. Because me I dey fear to use regular mail, that is why I said I will ask you first before I make any drastic step.

@olarwalay, Did you pay the school to mail it to your cousin in US?

And also how much did your cousin pay to mail it to you through fedex? Hw long did it take the package to get to you?

Prettychyna: My Visa was approved today!!! Details later. He is a faithful God!

mr swagger: @Olarwalay, wats up bro, hope u cool.

I saw your previous post, when u posted about being accepted to Minnesota state university and you were required to pay for i-20 shipping fee.

I have also gotten admission as well to Minnesota state university.

I intend receiving my i-20 package by regular mail but will like to hear from you first before I proceed further.

I will like to know if you have received your i-20 package and how long did it take you to receive it through regular mail? because the last time I checked you concluded on receiving your i-20 package through regular mail.

dimejibab: hello pals,i am a very ambitious man in pursuit of usa student visa.pls,i need enquires about what are the likely questions i would be ask at the embassy and appropriate answer to the questions.i have gotten an admission letter to houston community college,houston texas to study computer science in the faculty of liberal science.pls,kindly put me through as i have so much believe in you nairalanders......thanks

Kunsoft: Countdown!!! Few hours to go get the visa by GOD's grace.

marshaldollz: I got there by 9:27 even though my appintment was by 10:30....I got interviewd around 2pm....Vo:why do you want to go to the US..Me:for my undergraduate studies in computer sciece at Dixie State university...Vo:why Dixie state? Me:well Dixie state has a very strong computer science program and highly knowledgable professors being that they have the highest no of Phd holders in the state of Utah and practical approach in their teaching...Vo:what do you intend to gain from this course of study?..Me:I choose this course of study because the world is being computerrised right now and earing a degree in IT. Would boost my career prospects in the Nigerian job market being that most industries run it departments which has to do with securing networks...and he asked who would be sponsoring m...and I said my dad...Vo:did you write any standerdized Exams? Me:yes I did,I took the November/December SAT exams,then I gave him the score sheet..he read it for a while and nodding his head...he later said,I'm sorry I can't approve your visa,then that sheet was given to me.........Where did I go wrong oh?!...is it easier to get a Visa in Abj?
