irumole1975: What are Nigerians in this situation doing right now? Nigerians have been banned from seeking work permit in America. From working. From seeking permanent residency. The only option given by the international student office is to leave for a while.
How do u pay back these loans?
What are yall doing? They should follow the advice of international student office. During their visa interview, they told the consular of their post study plan. Which is to return back to Nigeria to use their knowledge in their home country. |

isrealoski: Why I believe ONE wife isn't enough and why it's actually BETTER for relationships Before you come for me - YES I'm Nigerian, YES it's legal here, and NO I don't care what the 'modern world' says about monogamy being the 'only way Hear me out: Multiple partners bring healthy competition that pushes everyone to be their best. Plus, when you're intentional about NEVER showing favoritism and always listening to every single person's needs before finding common ground
it builds a level of commitment you simply can't get from just one relationship. Some will say it's selfish.
I say it's about embracing what makes us human and trusting the universe to connect us with people who share this vision. Prove me wrong if you can 🤷♂️ #Relationships #Controversial #AlternativeLove #Nigeria" My grandfather once said, "if you love your wife marry one wife, but if you love yourself marry 2 wives." |

School is not a scam. To the younger ones still in school, face your studies, your CGPA is important for further opportunities especially scholarship.
Op, this is not a good one. I'll not sugarcoat it. Assuming you have 3.0/5.0 it'll be manageable. Assuming US is open I know tons of schools that will accept this.
However, as it is now, my advice focus on Canada by doing Wes evaluation. That'll probably make your GP meaningful.

If a boy is trained to be a mechanic at about the same age his parents had enrolled him with his peers in kindergarten, he would have become a professional mechanic at the age 35 with a very fat bank account.
A graduate after NYSC in this country is like a naked man in arctic. Everywhere is so freaking cold.
The dividends, promises, and expectation that comes with the tag of a graduate is not what it appears to be. Not in any part of Nigeria, anyway.
It takes at-least sixteen years of intense labour and sacrifice to be a graduate, but what do we get out of it? You can answer this. |

I have been admitted for a Masters program in US - to resume this fall - and need to apply for an F1 visa. Thank you. But you're a parmanent resident already in Canada, why do you still want to still go and study master's in the US with all the uncertainty. School no dey tire una.

Akinlot: For those like me with full funding and are hoping to make it by fall, it is highly unlikely Trump will lift the ban except a miracle happens. The only country (Turkmenistan) that was lifted off non immigrant ban between June and December, their president met with Trump at the White House during the Central Asia US Summit. I suspect it came up as part of their discussions.
I am not seeing any sign of seriousness from the Nigerian government.
Our only hope of making it by fall IMO will come from the courts.
Follow up with the following cases
Chikumba vs Department of State
IMMpact Litigation — 39-Country Ban Case (Yet to be filed)
I wish us all good luck. Our own jollof president is hiding from visiting the White House to talk man to man. Going by the post of Trump on Truth Social regarding Nigeria, it's not looking good. Based on his obsession, I don't see him lifting the ban throughout his administration. |

Colony7: With the recent massacre in Jos, the war in Iran solidifying trumps claim to tighter borders and BAT's growing moves to appease regions for 2027 moves, it's obvious Nigeria is not getting off that list this year.
Nigeria has no benefits to the USA in any regard whatsoever, and POTUS has three years with no reelection, so he has nothing to lose. It's obvious. |

JohnZak: Like others have said, there is not a whole lot that your school can do and even if you had been issued your I-20, your visa will be denied except you meet one of the exemptions outlined.
You can wait till June to see if the ban is lifted or you can request to defer your admission to Spring or Fall 2027 and find out whether TA, tuition waiver, and scholarship will still apply if you do so. June is not feasible for this ban to be lifted, let's be honest with ourselves. Abi no be US again, they will take their time. |

Will the Partial Ban be lifted in June or December 2026?
There is no announced review date. Policies like this are usually lifted only if: 1. Security and information-sharing concerns are resolved.
2. Diplomatic negotiations between Nigeria and the U.S. succeed.
3. A new administration or policy change occurs.
Historically, similar U.S. travel/visa restrictions sometimes lasted "2–4 years" before being removed.
Realistic probability (Based on past visa bans):
Time Chance of lifting
June 2026 Low (~10–20%)
December 2026 Moderate (~25–40%)
2027–2028 More likely.

Efetobore1980: Clap for yourself 😀
This is a good advertisement gimmick. Pls when are you receiving your own share of the €4,000 ?
U.S Economy cannot do without International students. Therefore, no door is shut. Students are still going in and out.
The grammar that is confusing you is " Temporary Restriction. Go and tell them about the €4,000 in the Schengen visa thread. This thread is a free and open thread for anyone to air their opinion constructively. US has shut the door for the next 3 years forget it. You think Trump need you Black Africans in his country? The ban is not going soon. Better diversify your hope Don't ever quote me again because I won't respond to your ignorance. |

Efetobore1980: Stop all this inconsistency jargons in the name of advertisement. Besides, why is it that you are the one answering for the first poster .. @Olawrites.? So evidently, you have being using different account to disrupt this thread with Schengen or European visa advertisement.
Go to the right section and do your advertisement if you are certain of what you are doing. Stop distracting the U.S bound visa applicants. All topic here should be based on F1- visa if you can read ABC to Z. In life always have plan A, B, and C. You don't deal with issues based on emotion, rather than logic. US has shut the door on Nigerian student, should their dreams be shut as well? I listed those countries for any sane mind to go fish and get the best opportunities like Indians and Asians always do. US shouldn't be a do or die, as it's just one country out of many...for instance, Denmark paid €4,000+ as stipends. A lot of these countries have better package than the US because you'll be paid like a full-time employee. Please let's be guided in this new year. |
