Why don't you want to write GRE? Believe me. It helps, my course didn't require GRE but I still wrote it, and it helped during my interview. Don't dull bro. Write asap.

Hello,

It depends on the school and your plan with them. I want you to know that issue of admission letters and I-20 can be very flexible. It is possible for a school to have the admission letter sent to you via postage just as the I-20 at the same time or at different time period because you are dealing with two different offices (admissions/dean's office and international centre).

It is not impossible for the school to scan the admission letter to your email while you append your signature then send a copy back to them and that will be all (quite easy right?). No matter how easy it can be though, I-20 must be sent via postage.

It may be a good idea to ask this question from the international office and possibly tell them to include your admission letter with your I-20 if it's not possible for the admission letter to be scanned.

In my case, you can imagine the extent of flexibilities I am talking about where I received the admission letter from my email and the I-20 was brought to Nigeria through my supervisor coming for research.



I hope this helps. Have a great day!!!


Thanks bro. Will write the international admission officer today. I think the best bet should be scanning and sending.

But they can only scan or send pdf of the admission letter and not I-20.

Visa Approved on Saturday July 23, 2016 both for myself and spouse ( F1 & F2)! 7.30am appointment

Special thanks to God Almighty the doer of all good things with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Also, Thanks to everyone on nairaland that shared their experiences and offered guidance. I got on this tread just last month and the information I gathered was simply priceless. So, many thanks guys and keep it up for upcoming applicants. I would love to spare long stories and go straight to my transcript.

VO: Good morning, oh you are married?
Me: Good morning, Yes we are
VO: Okay which School?
Me: Boston University
VO: And what program?
Me: Master's in Law, then mentioned my majors...
VO: This is quite expensive, who is paying for this?
Me: A company
VO: Your Company?
Me: No, it's a prospective employer
VO: So tell me about this Company
Me: Bla..Bla..Bla.. I told her about the coy, why they are sponsoring me and the agreement we had...
VO: How big is this Coy?
Me: I explained to the VO plus the fact that the Coy is even registered in the U.S
VO: Can I see any letter from the Coy?
Me: Yes, please... I showed her a letter from the Coy
VO: So when did you get married?
Me: We got married on 13 December 2014
VO: How many children do you have now?
Me: None yet
VO: Turns to my spouse, and asked what do you do presently?
Spouse: I'm a homemaker
VO: Oh I see, you sit at home
Spouse: Yes please
VO: Have you traveled before?
Spouse: Yes, I have traveled to Dubai
VO: Turns to me, how about you?
Me: Yes I have
VO: Where have you been to before?
Me: I mentioned the countries I have been to in the past, U.S excluded!
VO: Can I see your old passport?
Me: Sure, I gave her
VO: Flipped through the pages and asked, what were you going to do in those countries?
Me: I consulted for companies that had business interest in those countries
VO: Okay, returns my old passport and kept typing for about maybe 40 seconds, then said your Visas have been approved...you will need these documents at the POE and make sure you have them with you when you travel. Please pick up your passport on Wednesday. Good luck!
Me: Thank you.

My take on this process:
1. For me, God was the front-man in all my preparations... I trusted Him for favor and grace; and He proved faithful. I prayed earnestly and kept faith. So I found uncommon confidence and comportment. My thought and speech during the interview was with precision and clarity.

2. You have to be thoroughly prepared. I can't recount the sacrifices of time and finances that went into my preparation.

3. There is no need for desperation. I started my journey in 2013 if you care to know... Anything worth doing is worth doing well...be patient with your self and be assured that your best has been put into it. Then, keep trusting in God!

4. NairaLand is One-stop shop for any information required for a successful application & interview; to say the truth, I became addicted to NL... I reviewed and analysed almost every transcript shared on this platform. May God bless You guys and make our journey a most rewarding one!

Checking in at Nnamdi Azikiwe International wasn't so hard, got to the airport by 9pm. The bags were heavy so I needed a trolley. The person wey wear white for there tell me say na N400! i pay Shaa. Went past the scanners, go meet like 4 different uniformed people who just want to take a look at your passport. Then went to weigh my bags. Of course it was over! But it didn't cost me more than 3k. The check-in staff were courteous. Picked up my boarding pass and headed to customs to give them the forms. They come begin wind me for there say as their brother wey I be, I must drop something. I Shaa give them the last 1k wey dey my hand. Come waka go upstairs dey wait for boarding call.
So Aviation fuel wahala come follow, my flight was supposed to leave at 11:45, but they said there was no Aviation fuel in Abuja. And they cancelled our flight, and rebooked us on a smaller airplane that was to leave at 1:30pm. With an additional stopover at Niamey just to refuel. Long story short. I arrived Istanbul at 11am this morning. Waiting for my connection at 5pm
