Hello Temmy.
If your issue has been rectified your dashboard should display calendar after clicking on pending appointment. Therefore don't rely on notification just keep clicking on pending appointment intermittently. ** The issue should not take more than 72hrs to resolve.

** You may try another idea by creating another avits (temporarily) and in the process use the opportunity to check your payment status (as attached).

Note: Payment error has various form of background cause which is best known by you. When you have tried all official recommendations and it's still the same then you may need to pay another MRV and let an experienced user guide you. 👍

Hello Kenny.
Your chances without a Masters degree depends on your working/ class experiences with professors in your area , your SOP and how well and reasonable you outline your research area (interest). Everything is based on your natural inclination or instincts (as forseen by your future professors). ** Your UK 1st class will attract most professors.

Your Nigerian polytechnic will not and cannot delay your transcript and you are not transfering your HND transcripts but requesting the polytechnic to send it to your prospective school in the US or have them give you by hand if your new University accepts un-official.

Why do you want to short-change yourself by omitting your HND out of your academic profile? Your High school and HND certifications springboarded you to achieving your UK 1st- class. 👍

Thank you for your contribution. Much appreciated. I will love to know if there’s anyone that’s got straight into a Ph.D with just a bachelors from this noble platform so they can advise as well.

You wont get a receipt and you dont need one

After receiving your i20 form, the next thing is to fill your Ds160 form and proceed to Visa appt site to make payment for your visa fee. Then check the calendar for a suitable date to Schedule your interview appointment and start preparing towards it.

Good afternoon everyone

What is the cause of Administrative Processing that has been rampant this year?

Firstlady999:
Please is it true that you have to submit your DS-160 form at least 10 days before your interview to allow your details to reflect on their system?

Hello, I've been trying to pay my SEVIS fee via Western Union, but it keeps saying Account Number Already in Use. I've generated 5 new coupon codes and tried different Western Union Offices here in the UK but same error. What can I do, please?

Pls I’m trying to reschedule my visa appointment date to a closer date but they are telling me that there are no appointments available for the selected location.
What can I do now?

Hello everyone!!! I had my interview February along side with my son,we were both denied, pls I’m trying to reapply, do i need to create a new avits login? Cos the old one won’t even login anymore. I already defer my admission to fall semester, I’m applying alone this time around sane university.

Good evening Everyone, I would like to ask if the pre-approval request process still takes time, and how long it typically takes currently for a pre-approval request to be approved, especially when payment is made through First Bank. Thank you.

Efetobore1980:
Good Evening Chi.
Pre approval request should not take more than 24hrs at worst 48hrs if you do the needful. The needful are : signed form I -20 , fully completed and submitted ds - 160 and SEVIS fee payment. 👍

chiammaka:
Thank you, but do I need to attatch these documents( completed DS-160 and SEVIS)along with my I-20 for the preapproaval? Or should I only submit the signed I-20.

Efetobore1980:
*** The number one background is to fill your ds-160 completely and submit before you go and open profile on avits. Majority of visa applicants are undecided about their travel plans or undecided about the truth or lies they want to join together , so they left their ds-160 half-filled. ** Leaving your ds -160 half- filled makes you an undecided visa applicant therefore it is part of what causes long pre-approval or inability to get an appropriate date in time .

*** A fully ready F1 visa applicant must also sign and date his or her I -20 in order to show that you have read, understood, and agree to follow the laws written on page 3 of your I-20. If you are under 18 years old your Parent/guardian must also sign, write address, and date.

*** Any serious F1 visa applicant must also pay or arrange to pay his or her SEVIS fee immediately after the arrival of the form I 20.

When you have done the above three (3) then all goodies of F1 visa process (ie fast pre-approval , nearer date or quick approval of expedite appointment request etc) will come to you as a piece of cake. 👍

Hello everyone, my visa interview is on may 2nd, is it alright that I’m unemployed, do you think it will affect my visa interview, I graduated from university last year November, and I applied for a masters and got admission, can I go ahead with the interview or is there anything I can do to boost my chances of a visa approval

Efetobore1980:
Thanks for your reply, i need to fill another ds160 right? Since my resumption date and traveling date has changed?
Hello Olamide.
If your old profile is avits you don't have to create another one in order to avoid double profile . All you have to do is to delete pending appointment (if it's still reflecting) and create new.

If your old profile was cgi then abandon it and create another avits entirely. NOTE: Click on forgot password if your old profile is avits. Don't create another one . 👍

Omooo, I was denied today for the second time, I had to defer my admission and reapply to the same school.

VO; I can see you have been denied before
Me; Yes
VO; The same school?
Me; yes, same school and same course
VO; I can see family funds, your family is your sponsor
Me; Yes, my maternal uncle is my sponsor
VO; I’m sorry you are not qualified.

That was a very short interview, I’m wondering what I didn’t get right. VO didn’t ask me anything, this is shocking
