I’m applying for a second master’s degree and will be using my first master’s degree as my main credential. Will they still require an official transcript from my undergraduate degree, or will my higher degree transcript alone be sufficient?

You'll be required to submit transcripts from all the schools you've attended, not just the highest degree attained. Cheers!

DFocus:
Is Abuja too now beginning to have preapproval request delays? Folks applying to Abuja, please kindly let us know so one can make informed decisions.

This is my fifth week of preapproval delay from Lagos, all just to get interview waiver letter from them (I suppose) and know my business is now with OIS.

It depends on how long is considered a delay. I uploaded my I-20 on tuesday morning last week, and it is still showing processing as at now. It's left for those that were approved for Abuja embassy to brief us on how long theirs took. Note mine is not renewal and is for abuja embassy.

Thank you for your kind response. Does it need to be official, especially the undergraduate transcript?

It may be a bit challenging to obtain from the school since I am currently not in Nigeria

@borntosucceed

please how long did it take before your pre-approval request was approved?

It took me less than 48hrs for Abuja.

Thank you for your response, the "create new" option is not showing on my dashboard. What else can I do?

Gretmang:
Yes. Alternatively, you can create one for them in your own AVIT account by clicking on “create new” just beside your own “pending appointment request”

When applying, you'll be required to upload an unofficial copy of these transcripts. However, It'll be required for your institutions to send directly (official copies) to the University if/when admitted.

Good day all, anybody going to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for spring term please?

Good evening. Please I am preparing for my F1 visa interview in few weeks and I need help in one area of the likely questions to be asked. This question is: "why is your employer sponsoring you?".

I will appreciate different answers to this question to get myself prepared , thank you and God bless

'Create new' button won't display until you are done with your current application ie appointment scheduling, the process is one application at a time

I uploaded I-20 seven days ago for Abuja and it's still on preapproval processing

Hello guys please I'm having issues paying my SEVIS Fee from New Zealand as the Western Union agents are saying they have no idea about how it works.
Please who knows how I can go about it through Western Union or any other option.

With no context, I think it's only you that can answer that question.

So why is your employer sponsoring you?

Hello mightylove21,
Here is how you should respond if ask the question; My firm is funding my education because they see the significance of the particular skills and information I will obtain, which will assist our team and future initiatives. As I'll be studying [particular subject or program], this matches nicely with the aims of my department and will allow me to contribute in more advanced ways when I return. My firm sees my sponsorship as a strategic investment, since I will use the information I gain to improve our work, provide fresh insights to current initiatives, and help the team reach its goals more successfully."

Did you pay a new fee in Abuja?

Dannneee:
Latest date I found was January for both Lagos and Abuja.
I think one has to just book the nearest date and then apply for expedited date.

hello please how long did it take your pending preapproval to clear

I think it's longer for second time applicant

was this lagos or abj please

Dannneee:
Took about two weeks. Had a number of chats with heir customer care and was told to be patient everytime. Eventually it worked after about two weeks.

deees, question please were you applying for a renewal or are you a first time applicant? Also for your abuja profile, did you get an email that said your preapproval was approved?

deees:
So I got pre-approval request approved for the second profile for Abuja. There are no dates in Abuja, Lagos has January dates but of course, one can apply for expedited appointment after choosing a date. I don't think it is smart to wait for AVIST shenanigans and Lagos application tho, it's in the news that the embassy knows about it now. https://businessday.ng/news/article/us-embassy-says-addressing-challenges-of-nigerian-visa-applicants/

Are you a first time applicant or are you trying for a renewal?
