The person just ahead of me and myself were both approved. I think every other person na blue paper

VO: Can i have your i-20 and passport?
Me: Hands over both documents.
VO: How did you hear about Tennessee Tech
Me: One of my lecturers back at Unilag had his phd at Tennessee Tech, so it was recommended, i also spoke to current students of the school (Waves hand like policeman for me to stop)
VO: did you apply to other schools.
Me: Yes
VO: How many
Me: 8 others

Me: names about 7

ME: YEs, i had impressive scores
VO: Where do you work
Me: ** NIgeria
VO: what do you do?
Me: I am a tech consultant
VO: How about housing and all?
Me: I spoke to students of the school and they told me about the off campous and on campus accommodation

Me: YES

She then smiles and said some things that i wasn’t interested in listening.

Bettertomorrow1:
Please what do you mean by update it so it can show on the system.?
I just fill a new ds160 and I was given a new code... and that is the code I use to book for my interview. ..

Please am confuse here... about the updating issue, explain

Thanks

You dont need to worry since its d new code u use to book ur interview.

opexomoba:
Yes u hv to fill a new one..n update it on ur page so it can reflect on their system

at the embassy.

Mervyn98:
Will I fill another ds-160 form if I want to reapply for visa

Yes u hv to fill a new one..n update it on ur page so it can reflect on their system

folmus:
You can't in Nigeria.

ofcos not in Nigeria here...You have to look for someone to that for you over there(US). so it will be fast.

austinelex:
hello pls how can one pay sevis fee

You can pay it through western union...

dinma4000:
does anyone know how late you can cancel your us visa appointment? that is can you cancel the night before your us visa interview day? also if you cancel do you lose your payment if you don't reschedule

You cant cancel your visa appointment a day to your interview...Its atleast three to five day before your appointment to be on a safer side and if you have been rescheduling the appointment more than twice or twice its certain you will lose your visa fee.

James89:
How did you get your transcript ASAP from your Nigerian institution bro?

I got thru d normall stuff by presenting my statement of result bla bla bla...Wat am asking is" Do WES accept statement of result in place of Degree Certificate??

bigfrancis21:
The first free copy mailed out is free. You can choose to have this first free copy mailed out to your school instead of to you by simply updating your address on your profile to that of the school. Upon WES evaluation, WES will send it to that school. This saves you some money, especially if you are applying to only one school that requires WES evaluation. WES does not care where your first copy is mailed out to. Each subsequent copy after that costs you $37 (including $7 shipping cost). Also, WES will post an electronic version online for you to view, thus you do not really need a hard copy of the transcript.

Pls do they accept statement of result because my degree certificate isnt available.

@aadeyi

aadeyi:
A free copy is sent to you and you will have to pay about $30 each for every school you are sending to (Not sure though but I think i might be right)

Oh ok thanks for the info but they do charge for the evaluation process.

Good evening the guru's in the house...please i need an information about WES evaluation. Is the report sent to the School or my personal address after evaluation.

Please its urgent.
