I need someone to help me out with paying my application fees in western illinois university.

The only payment option accepted by the school is money order and the school don't accept payment outside USA banks.

The application fees is $30 and I'm ready to send its equivalent through any Nigeria bank account.

Please, I need your help guys.

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: How was your night
Me: (In my mind, this VO nice o), fine and yours?
VO: Fine. Passport and i20 please
He kept typing for like 2 minutes. I was praying under my breathe
VO: I see you are going to Miami University for your Masters in SAHE
Me: Yes, Please
VO: Why Miami
Me: I chose Miami because the program is focused on Social Justice and Equity. I am interested in this topic as it will enable me provide the right support for students particularly underrepresented students like students from low income background. ( I was talking too fast)
VO: (looks up at me for the first time, all the while, he was typing) hold on. I am not rushing and you not. Looks like you are reading from a script.
Me: Should I continue?
VO: No, it’s just fine.
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: 5
VO: name them
ME: NIU, UCONN, MIAMI, KSU, OSU
VO: How many admitted you?
ME: they all did
VO: why not go for the other schools?
ME: To be very honest, it was hard making the decision because all the schools gave me full funding. However, Miami’s program is focused on Social Justice and Equity, a topic I am interested in as it will enable provide support for students particularly underrepresented students when I come back to Nigeria. Also, I love the theory to practice approach that the program adopts. I got an assistantship that covers the total cost of attendance, the funding includes tuition waiver, meal plan, accommodation, phone bills and monthly stipends.
VO: that’s generous
Me: with a smile, yes it is. (I continued). In addition to this, it is also required of me to gain experience in 2 other functional areas of my choice. This will give me a better understanding of the field both in theory and practice which will aid the transfer of learning when I come back to Nigeria. Moreover, the graduate advisor….
VO: okay, that’s enough. How did you get this generous funding?
Me: I will say the strength of my application and my performance during the interview days. I had interview with the Graduate coordinator (mentioned her name) and the associate director of Reslife (mentioned her name too)
VO: So?
Me: I believed they were impressed with my performance and decided to give me based on merit.
VO: Do you have any experience in this field. What course did you study in UNDERG?
Me: English Language and Education
VO: oh, education. I will be giving you a chance. You will need your i20 at the POE.
ME: Thank you.

Please I need some guidance, just in case anyone has faced a similar challenge.

In 2016, I was turned back at the PoE in Chicago, while going to have my baby. I had given birth to two before then in the US and it was never an issue. But this November 2016 case, the lady was obviously pro-Trump. She even said "a new sherrif is in town" so those of us coming to give our kids blue passport have another thing coming. This was the month Trump won.

This lady wrote on my file that I was planning to use Medicaid to have my baby and wasn't planning to pay (false because I showed all previous receipts and even gave her the hospital contacts to verify). Then she put me on a plane back, 33 weeks pregnant.

Now, the issue is that she seems to have written a whole lot on my record cos I just went for a student visa interview (with two dependents) and after answering all questions well, the VO look at his screen for a long time and then gave me a rejection.

Please, how do it go about this? How can I clear my records? Cos even if I reapply, this may still be an issue.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I need need help. Someone advised me to ask on this platform. Thank you.
.

I don't know if this will help. Please check Argo visa on Facebook or www.argovisa.com and consult a visa officer on your case. They definitely will guide you through. Good luck

It has to be paid by somebody in the USA. If you don’t have relatives that can help, contact Fairheart or Walspring here on NL. They help people do the payment. It’s $350 and must be paid latest by 3 days before your appointment date. You can book appointment without it though and then pay before you go for the appointment

itzgbengene:

When one wants to reschedule, do I cancel current appointment or just click reschedule appointment? And how true is it that one can only get later date when rescheduling?

I think you have to cancel one before you can be able to reschedule.
Not true, you can get a nearer date however be sure there is a nearer date available before you cancel your present appointment
