To the best of my knowledge...
When you transfer schools, your old and new I-20 are being sent to the relevant authorities for approval. The copy your gonna have will definitely have 'pending' . Insofar as your new school has received your SEVIS records you're good(you man not be able to re-enter the United States though if you leave. Please verify from your school). It takes about 3-6 months for for the process to be complete. When I changed schools, I was given copies of my new I-20 and the original was sent to authorities, my school however asked that I can't leave the United States until the process is complete.
You could ask your school if there's some other way you can legally re-enter the United States if you have to leave.

Please why did you reject the one you was given?

So you rejected it , so you want to be outta status right

It will always show pending for like 3-6 mths and reason is that you might probably be owning the other school and some other uscis/dhs issh.

You won't have any problem with it because when you are travelling , you need to notify your school nd they will print a new I-20 for you

You walked away...na wa o. Walk back there sir, and iron out the ish. Transfer doesn't take forever to do. It's actual possible to complete a transfer within minutes if the person has everything in order. When is your school resuming? If you have resumed, then don't accept the "transfer pending I-20". As long as you have paid and showed them all required documents, tell them to complete your transfer and activate you. If your school hasn't resumed and/or you haven't completed all the required steps, accept the "pending I-20 and ask your DSO when you should come back for another I-20. It should be a matter of days. Don't travel until your transfer is all done, and you have your I-20. As for the liberal arts major, tell the DSO to change it to your proper major "computer science". You don't have to accept it if you are not ok with it, but you need to listen to your DSO , discuss and solve problems.

Hi guys sorry I'm dropping my travel transcript and experience rather late...

Left muritala into. airlines on Monday, 10th August via emirates airline. Night flight, we took off 8:50pm o. The dot to dubai, 7hrs exactly. Got to dubai at 4am Naija time, 9am dubai time...has a layover of 7 hrs, and connected the next flight at exactly 4, but we didn't take off until 6pm dubai time...it was a loooonnnng flight to jfk new York, 13 hours...emirates was cool to fly with, services on point...the dolls they have as hostesses are cute and extra nice...food was there but a lotta rubbish, I couldn't eat most of them...layover was interesting, albeit long...

Arrived jfk 2 hrs behind schedule, and poe was very easy, as in, no hassles at all.
Immigration officer: hi,
Me: hi, good evening.
IO: place your hands on the machine bla bla bla...
Pass me your visa,
Can I see your i-20,
Alright, enjoy your stay in the United States.
Me: thank you.

It was past midnight, and the shuttle I booked to take me to bridgeport had closed for the day, since I arrived 2 hrs late, and they stop work at midnight...had to wait till 6:30 am at the airport...

Lemme skip all that cos there were some drama; I wanted to find my way on my own, but had to go back to the airport and wait till morning for my shuttle to resume work...

Got to my school at bridgeport and requested a transfer, and I was asked to present the admission letter from my new school, and a mail from the school that they are expecting me, which was done. And I got a mail thereafter that my sevis details has been released to my new school. And I left that weekend for alabama, where my new school is. I have registered and started classes, and menh, this place is lovely.

All the best everyone, God bless all our hustle and prosper our works in Jesus name, Amen.

That's the plane that carried me to US, A 380 airbus, the largest plane in the world...

And menh, the system works here...

Same here, did Chemistry and in my final ACCA paper, already in the US doing MS Finance. Your ACCA wouldnt count much here though based on gist I heard but it wouldn't harm your internship prospect as it shows youve done some homework. More emphasis is placed on working experience. Ill say look for an average school, don't spend too much and jump right into it if you got some experience.
My 1cent of advice, but if you dont have experience, probably look for a good school that post result of their student employment records (Most times, the skul fees are expensive) or chill out to get some relevant experience before coming. Most peeps in the set before mine with working experience got offers easily than those without.

You don buy house since you own a two bedroom apartment

Are you looking for a male or female because there is a female who is looking for where to keep her head till further notice or when she get her own apartment..
for America there is no further notice arrangements,you either sign a six month or a year lease..

Alright boss thank you so much, ita just like an oncampus housing, those people (old women) seem really strict, but i dont really care, cos i have no record or SSN and they have no access to my SEVIS records hopefully, i dont mind losing the deposit too, after paying 850 permonth, after a month i would move away from there, the money for rent is just way too much for 2people, can you kindly tell me how to persuade people to live together with you, so we could share the bill of a 2bd apartment, or 3? i be complete novice.

Just look around for people searching for apts and suggest to them you have a place you are willing to share. I will suggest a Nigerian or Ghanaian is fine since our food is similar.

This one is even an oncampus hosuing for the college and it spans for one year.
If i run, they wont see my break light again, they might even report me to the school, before they do, i would transfer

I dont even think i can sublet the apartment, cos they always do constant checkups on the students living the oncampus apartments.

Stay clear out of troubles. List it on Craigslist and once you get someone willing to lease it, take the person to the apt manager and get the lease transferred.
