Hello guys, I want to apply for the coming spring session. My international passport expires April 2022, will I be able to go to the embassy without renewing my passport?

If you have at least six months on it on the date of your interview no need. Otherwise, renew it.

Got admission last year with scholarship(East Tennessee State University) but couldnt mk apptmt due to covid , reapplied and got admission again with scholarship same schl (eng tech).

my apptmt is in 3 weeks here in lagos and i need help pushing this through , also want to know if scholarship makes approval less stressful .

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Scholarships is good but doesn't guarantee approval even if you have a full ride. What you should do is to prepare well for your interview.Yes, to prepare demands lots of time but it is invaluable. If you believe in God pray and be hopeful.

Depends on the school. If your sponsor name is written on your i-20 then the VO will see it. I know ETSU does that.

The sponsors name was not written there..it was only written as Anty..

Chief. Don't play yourself.
Check out Presken Hotel in Oniru. It's on George Omonubi street. You will get a very decent room for between 6-8k.
Oniru is less than 20mins from the Embassy.

All these agents and their wahala.
They just talk without thinking some of them do not have passports.
You can get F1 at any age as long as you are a genuine student.
I got mine in my 40s
That said go with what you have on all your documents.

Yikes12:
Good morning guys ! When I wanted to start this visa processing my agent told me that I can't apply for F1 visa cause my age is above 20 . So he said I should get another Birth Certificate and I should use the new age to get my passport . I got my first passport and 2002 was written there as my DOB and I was born in 1998 cause I have this age on all my documents... Have been given admission with scholarship but am wondering if there might be any issues on my interview day ....cause the vo might ask 4 my age ...I possess two DOB now. 1998 is on my i20 while 2002 on my passport ...

You're not confused... you're only looking for others to affirm your dishonesty and intent to deceive. You are one of the reasons visas are so hard to get for Nigerians. Go ahead and explain the discrepancy in your age to the VO as best you can.

I heard yesterday that VOs are now asking DOB. I believe this is one of the reasons & I also believe it is due to the approval rates of F1 VISAs now over B1/B2. Please, kindly correct this anomaly before your interview. You are dealing with a country with a very effective information management system.

Hello guys,

I need help with financial docs to process my i20, I have scholarship but I still don’t know why my school is asking for docs to release the i20. Anybody to the rescue ?!

It means you have some deficits to cover after the scholarships. The International Student office of your school will provide detailed information on that. You will need evidence of financial support to cover those deficits. Best!

I think it's best you write the Embassy explaining your plight. They only can guide your appropraitely and you will have insurance of an official conversation to reference if you have any issues on the day of your interview.

if asked why the course would below be okay for an answer
-the level of education i got wouldn't take me beyond the current position i occupy at my place of work so in order to procure a better position my portfolio needs an upgrade .

i really just want something short and really thats the reason ...

Please my people, what is the best way to go about getting letter of recommendations. Una know our nigerian lecturers way.

Letter of recommendation is NOT a must for it to be from LECTURERS. If you read it well, you’d see from Professionals or so there.
Those are like, your supervisors, HR in your place or former place of work, all they need to do is just use the work place letter head and stamp or official email if any.

Boss! Don’t go and be there delaying your self waiting for lecturers oh.
Personally, I didn’t use any lecturer at all, people that recommend me were my Present and past supervisors., and guess what, it took them no long time to do that since I told them how urgent it’s needed. All were approved by my schools.

Shalom!

The requirements state that I should upload two academic recommendation letters which I have done, but it still shows me this error msg in the photo attachment.

It means from the two recommenders, one atleast must be academic reference i.e someone in academics and you will choose academics reference as an option.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Magma012: 8:41pm On May 31, 2021
