Hello everyone, I have a question just for clarity; does anyone know if visas get approved for post baccalaureate programs?

May 18 is the emergency date I was able to book. the earliest available date when I was initiating the EA was April 22. I don’t think the embassy works over the weekend. Best to wait to COB Monday if you want to wait another working day before switching. You might pay another MRV cos of a second EA. You have nothing to lose if you call to request using the same MRV for a 2nd EA since you don’t have any response from them. No guarantees.

Okay. Thanks. Can we connect via email pls. I sent you a request via Nairaland.

It took about a month. Not within the 60 days. Just tried my luck

1. If you applied earlier than 60 days, how many days earlier did you apply please?

2. Please what was the date they responded and what date was your interview? I'm trying to figure out how close the interview date is likely to be to the response and to the date of resumption.

Hi guys, I have a question. My sister is a US Citizen and my mom is a permanent resident (just one year shy of getting a US citizenship too). The school that I got admitted to cos I found they had the course of study I wanted after searching through schools is still located in the same city they live in. Will this really affect my chances of getting my visa approved?

I'm in a similar boat as you. They will most likely consider it but is it such a horrible thing to have a support system where you want to study?

Let them see your seriousness and real intention for pursuing the degree. Don't forget to put them in your DS160 when asked if you know anyone in the US especially if they are sponsoring your degree.

Personally I have gotten a B1/B2 visa approved a few years ago with this a similar scenario and now I'm applying for a student visa ��

Speak your truth and leave the rest to God. All the best to us.

Hello house,

Please I need your help and advice on an issue at hand on school visa processing.

I just got admission to Oregon State University for a master degree in international business management to resume in late August 2022.Here is my dilemma or questions.

After paying part of initial school fees deposit and submitting my bank statements using my wife as sponsor: ,the school is requesting for my dependants passports and details to be uploaded on their portal before they issue my i-20. The plan is for me to travel alone first and settle before inviting my wife and children over.
1 Can the i- 20 be issue to me alone by the school if I tell them I am going alone?

2. Will my family be able to join me later if I failed NOW to supply to the school my wife and children passports and birth certificates?

3. On i-20, do we have two set of i-20 on F1 and F2?

4. We are expecting a new baby by June, how can I include the baby in the visa and information plan ?

5. And where it is advised that I give the school my children int passports: can I upload this expired int passports to the application portal?

6.. Will I still be able to meet visa date before August resumption date?

Somebody should please give advise on how to navigate this issues raised. Thank you
.

Ok. Thank you. Please do you know if there are early dates available (in May) in Abuja for regular appointments? Are people still seeing dates in May for Abuja? This would be really helpful to know so I can decide whether to just go ahead and pay for a new MRV fee and apply for EA at Abuja or if I would be able to find early MAY dates for a regular appointment with my current MRV fee.

Regular appointments in Abuja right now is till March 2023

Good morning all, please I am trying to fill my I-901 form in order to pay for my DS-160, but I don’t know how to correctly fill the school code, I keep getting “incorrect school code”
Please how do I fill this?
Check your i20 there’s school code there, fill in the alphabet first then the numbers next then the last digits

Good job ny11. This will help prospective applicants to make their payments with ease. I just downloaded the app too. I can see that it allows you to make SEVIS I-901fee , WES evaluation fee and other payments right from the comfort of your home in Nigeria.

Here is what(Screenshot) I found ...I haven't used it though but its worth trying.. Goodluck Guys!

I used this app to pay for SEVIS Fee. Quite fast https://apps.apple.com/ng/app/pay4me-app/id1543673271

Bigsecret:
first step is to search for schools to find out their requirements. Then try to meet those requirements

Ways to search for schools

1. Usnews- type your course on US news and go through the list of schools
2. Mastersportal- remember to change the filter to the US
3. Internationalstudent.com
4. Nairaland (type your course and change the filter to travel section only. My bet is someone would have suggested a school to someone)
5. Search by state. This is how I did my research, you will have so many options especially if you have a requirement for yourself


Let me know if you have any more questions

Thanks

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Faskyyoung(m): 3:46pm On Apr 24, 2022
HI GUYS! I’m having my visa interview coming up very soon and I need to get all sides of opinion on this transcript. Thank you very much!

I graduated from high school in 2018 and I’m looking to pursue a nursing program at Wayne county community college.

What has changed between your previous appointment and now?
During my previous interview, I was nervous and discomposed due to the fact that it’s my first time being in any embassy for any interview. I am ready to convince my visa officer that I’m a credible US visa applicant with strong reasons to travel to the USA, strong ties to my home country, important reason to return back to Nigeria and strong financial capability to see me through my approved period of stay in the United States.


What do you do currently?/ What have you been doing since high school graduation?
I graduated from high school in 2018. February 2019, I enrolled in a AS/A levels program which spanned for 18 months. I finished the program in August 2020. I wrote the exam May 2021 after COVID lockdown. I took Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics (AAA). During 2020 COVID lockdown and 2021 early post lockdown, I volunteered as a ground community and house to house COVID-19 sensitization worker in Oyo state. We travelled to various communities in rural and remote areas in the state and a few towns to sensitize the populace on what the virus is, it’s mode of transmission, prevention practices, suspected cases means of report and putting the mind of people at peace (not to panic).
Late 2021 to 2022, I started researching extensively, making decisions and applying into colleges in the United States.


What are your plans in the United States?
My ultimate plan in the United States of America is to attain my medical degree in the US and return home to harness acquired state of the art skills and knowledge in pediatric medicine in the children populace of Nigeria. It is for this reason I am pursing earning my first degree in Nursing at Wayne county community college district which is a compulsory requirement for any prospecting US medical school applicant i.e. any first degree earned outside of the US makes any applicant ineligible for admission into any US medical school.


Why an associate degree?
Honestly, the only reason I have decided to go for an associate degree in a community college and then transfer to a 4-year university because of my worry on the possibility of me timely adapting/ adjusting to foreign student and social lifestyle. I have adjustment disorder. It’s a stress response syndrome that’s non-psychotic and short term. I had its first attack when my family relocated to Ibadan and I was to attend a new high school (beginning my senior secondary school education as a boarding student). It lasted for 3 months before full recovery with the help of therapy sessions with my therapist as the only treatment. So, it had been a worry for me until I got to know community colleges existed and that they offer better academic flexibility and smaller classroom to teacher ratio than universities which allow a good way for me to ease into the world of US higher education and catalyze my adaptation to US higher education student lifestyle and environment.


How many colleges did you apply to and why WCCCD?
I applied into 3 colleges. Two in Michigan- Wayne county community college district and north central Michigan college and one in California- Taft college. I chose WCCCD because, unlike other colleges) is affiliated to university of Michigan and offers easy transfer of credit hours to university of California Los Angeles at the same time. Taft college is not affiliated with UofM and NCMC is not affiliated with UCLA. This is important because these two universities are my top selection for medical school destinations, so I would also love to complete my bsc in nursing in either.
Also, WCCCD is the most popular for quality education in nursing among the three colleges. As a matter of fact, In Michigan, WCCCD is best known for its Nursing program. It is accredited by Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and the positive review put up by the commission in support of the college is captivating and satisfactory and the course module corroborates this.


Why Nursing ?
I have chosen nursing as my premed because unlike any natural science major, it prepares me for a career in medicine including the clinical area of medicine. This way I get to study for 4 years for a pathway to medicine and still be in connection with what I have passion for. Biology for an example as a natural science major, which is a main component of medicine, does not focus only on human biology. It ranges across plant biology, invertebrate animal biology and ecology and does not offer any clinical experience. Studying nursing as my major would make my experience in medical school easier.


Who is your sponsor?
My mother will be officially sponsoring me. She has been a medical consultant for the Oyo state government for the past 30 years and she is also a major distributor of healthcare products to hospitals in Oyo state and Lagos state. She has an annual income of 45million. (*note: my total cost of studying in the us is $15,200 for the first year)
My father has been a real estate investor since before I was born. He runs real estate across the country.

You have nothing to lose if you call to request using the same MRV for a 2nd EA since you don’t have any response from them. No guarantees.

Pls when you submitted another EA request in Abuja, did you put in your application statement that you had first applied in Lagos but it took too long? Do you think that would help?

Good afternoon. I applied for EA via the Lagos embassy about 3 weeks ago but there has been no feedback or decision.


I am contemplating on changing to Abuja but before I do cancel my visa appointment in Lagos, I would love to confirm if I will need to pay a new visa fee before I can apply for the emergency request in Abuja or emergency request is one for Lagos and one for Abuja?


Thank you.

Please I sent you an email request. Kindly respond pls. Can I please ask you some questions about how switched to Abuja? Did you put in your new EA application to Abuja that you had originally applied to lagos embassy for an EA?
