You just spoke my mind bro!!!!

This is really serious. I hope the Consulate is aware of this. Especially for those of us still going to apply for ER.

This is very frustrating

Kevdee4reel:
How does this work please. Those of us experiencing this SEVIS fee payment issue need as much help and information as possible. Nothing is working. Western union keeps having network issues. Only option seems to be money order and that will take a very long time. Over a week or so.

Kevdee4reel:
Explain how to navigate the website or how this is possible because nothing on the website says anything about sevis.

Search gieva through Google, call their customer care number. They will attend to you. Though it's late now. Call them tomorrow by10.am

I had the same experience for almost 3weeks. My friend in the US just made payment via money order.

quote author=mojolajesu post=107709912]No one is saying anything about servis fee.

Am I the only who is experiencing this

Can someone please help me out. I have followed the instructions in here to make payments with someone in The US but it’s saying the server is down. All agents in Arizona are saying the same thing.

Hello everyone,

Do you have to pay a new visa fee if you're changing fro abuja to lagos? I cancelled my appointment in abuja and I'm not seeing provision to update my MRV receipt number. It's still using the former MRV.

Oluh:
Good morning everyone, I’ve been given admission to study in USA but didn’t collect the is-20 form because I needed a scholarship because I couldn’t afford the fee, woke up yesterday to see 2 scholarships awarded to me with $18k off my tuition. Now I’m to apply for the is-20 form but my fear is the date for interview. It’s just so close. Can I book interview date down or wait till the form is out. Confusion wan wound me right now because I don’t know how long it will take for the I-20 form to be out with processing and all. I’m to resume Jan 18 for spring. It’s just too close!!! Please anyone with any advise....

hello please i need to ask you some questions about the scholarship can you please drop a whatsapp number i can reach you on mine is 07056634020

how long did it take to reflect please??

emmanuelle27:
thanks a lot, it's the GPA that is making me not talk about PhD oh, that's why I'm focused on Ms

I totally get it, but there's no harm trying. You finished with a 2.1, right?

[quote author=collykay post=107705505][/quote]Check out the schools you quoted from me. In my opinion, chemistry, like biochemistry, is well-funded in the States. So if you do enough homework well you will get a number of opportunities. All the best man.
