I think only eshipglobal is permitted to pick i20 from the school. If your school accept external pickup, then it can be sent with less than $10 with USPS, with no tracking number and 10 to 15 days delivery
My school is sending mine via FedEx

Although this is speculation sha .... last year some comments here was mocking / laughing at VOs that the checks done are really rubbish since they literally were not doing any checks and who knows they might read comments here and adjust the processs

Or it could be totally unrelated and just a more robust way to processing visa . Change is constant

Thank you so much, can you please list the schools that accepts unofficial transcript, and again, I studied linguistic for my undergraduate course,but now I'm changing to a different course entirely (strategic intelligence and analysis) hope this won't be a minus.
Thanks
Nobody here will spoonfeed you, that is the research you are supposed to do by yourself. However, check 2/3 pages back or my posts, you should see a couple of schools. Nothing is a minus if you have a good reason

I thought I would post this 12 days ago but as God would have it, I could not until now. I have been on 'Administrative Processing' from the day I had my interview (May 30) until today that my visa was finally issued. I interviewed at Abuja and the interview goes thus:

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning and how has been work?
VO: Fine thanks.
VO: Pass me your passport and I-20
Me: I passed them
* the VO looked at my I-20 for like 30 secs
VO: So you are going to the University of Arkansas
Me: Yes, for my PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology
VO: Nods, so tell me about the program at Uni of Arkansas
Me: The program is for five years and I will be required to take 42 credits hour in total, 18 for dissertation research and 24 for coursework. A minimum GPA of 3.0 must be maintained every semester * (VO cuts in)
VO: how old are you?
Me: 2_ years old
VO: Are you married?
Me: No I am not
VO: Any kid?
Me: No ma
VO: Do you have any postgraduate degree
Me: No
VO: So you are going straight from BSc to PhD
Me: Exactly
VO: When did you finish your BSc
Me: I graduated in 2015 from Obafemi Awolowo University with a first class degree in** she cuts in (I was trying to sell myself here to provide 'reasons' for the BS to PhD route)
VO: Really?
Me: Yes really
VO: Do you have anything to support that claim?
Me: Yes, I passed both my transcript and certificate.
** she looked at my transcript (a student copy but stamped by the registrar) placed on top my certificate. I think the transcript looked somehow to her (If I had known, I would have placed the certificate on top or better still just BSc certificate)
VO: Okay, so what have you been doing?
Me: I have been working as a research assistant at Obafemi Awolowo University * she cuts in
VO: Alright, I will hold on to your passport, I-20 and your certificates. I will verify your certificates and we will get back to you.
Me: I was then waiting for white paper but she did not pass any. I then asked, 'ma, how about my white paper'. She looked at me with a big grin (looked sarcastic though). I then smiled and zoomed off before she changes the story.

Thank you to everyone that contributes to this platform. Even though I hardly comment, I visit often to learn from folks with wealth of knowledge.

Congrats...pls were you fully funded and what was your GRE score??

Please house, here is my proposed transcript, I would like you all to help out with corrections. i really need to be ready for my interview, please and please i need help on this.God bless you all as you do so.

VO: So why are you going to the US?


I am going for my masters in industrial engineering at the university of New haven, West Haven, Connecticut.

VO: How many schools did you apply to?

3 others, Portland state university, university of Dayton Ohio, Rochester Institute of Technology Newyork

VO: Why University of New Haven?

Me:
I chosed university of New Haven because of its dynamic and flexible industrial engineering program and i am also particularly interested in the research area of prof M Ali Montazer he has a research work on "simulation modeling of production systems and business operations" off which i am fascinated about. Moreso the University’s Career Development Center which has been named one of the best in the nation by the Princeton Review enables students to learn how to effectively manage and develop their careers and i wish to benefit Immensely from it. Lastly i got 50% scholarship award to attend the school.


How did you get to know about the school?


Me: A church member who is an alumnus of the school recommended the school and i looked it up online to read more on the school curriculum and Standard.

Vo: What are your study plans? What will this program do for you?

Me: I would be taking 30 course units for a duration of 24months, with core courses such as Introduction to operations research, quality analysis, manufacturing analysis, Engineering Economic, Design stimulation, design and experiment and so on.

Industrial Engineering appeals to anything with areas for improvement.Employment opportunities are limitless, so therefore With the Acquired skills and knowledge gotten from my program it will open opportunities for a managerial work position here in Nigeria especially the manufacturing industries such as Innoson Motors, Unilever,PZ Cussons and Dangote cement and many others. These industries give preference to Industrial Engineers because of their wide range of capabilities in the work place.

VO: What are your plans at the end of your program?

Me: I'll be coming back to use the acquired knowledge and practical skills to assist in tackling the numerous challenges facing most industries in Nigeria most especially the manufacturing industry, According to the Nigeria vision 2020 the manufacturing sector provides the greatest opportunity to transform the Nigeria economy and Nigeria being the biggest market place in Africa with over 170 million populations ought to be a strong market for the manufacturing sector and i hope to be a major contributor to this cause.


please I'd appreciate everyone's contribution. God bless you all.
