Hello as you’ve said that “ you paid the visa fee already “ my question is is it only the VISA APPLICATION FEE or/and with the SEVIS FEE too

Only in Nigeria... everyday life is now viewed through “visions”.

Of course the embassy will open at some point... visas are processed within a matter of days. We didn’t need a dream to figure that out.

lols grin Twoods again, you no dey hear word!!! How many times have I told you to avoid me on this thread? And the dream I saw didn't say anything about opening of embassy. What is wrong in sharing what I even saw? My words doesn't bite or hurt, dude. That part on visa processing were mere opinion on the state of things and "what I thought." I was just trying to encourage students to prepare themselves.

It baffles me how you never grow and mature at mind.

Felt like sharing my experience here since it might benefit intending MS students in the future. I just began my summer internship with an amazing solar energy company in CA, though due to Corona I'm working remotely from TX. My BS was in Industrial Eng, currently on my MS in Mech Eng, now I'm working as a project engineer intern in the development of an off-grid solar project. Some key points I'll like to share are:

1. Try to build a diverse skillset so you can have opportunities in other related disciplines as you can see from my profile. Engineers and IT folks have the edge here due to our training. Corona has shown that any job one can't perform remotely will always be impacted by economic downturns. So try to gain as much IT skills as you can during your MS and select your electives wisely.

2. Keep track of projects (coding, CAD, research, etc) you have done at school, work, or personally. You never can tell when they'd come in handy. In my zoom interview, I impressed my boss by presenting a 5slide PowerPoint which I had prepared about my undergrad solar project. I've also used this project in my scholarship applications to NSBE which I luckily won, and SHPE which I'm hoping to win. When attending career fairs, create one page pictorial illustrations of these projects and take them along with your resume. At my school's career fair this spring, when I showed the recruiter a picture of the project, she told me to expect a call from her because the company was working on something similar.

3. Don't miss any opportunity to meet recruiters and hiring managers at career fairs at your University or conventions by NSBE, SHPE & SWE. It gives you a foot in the door than when you simply apply online. Also brace yourself for rejections, it's nothing personal and I have received tons of regret mails. I only needed one Yes, but I had to earn it.

4. Socialize with Americans as much as you can especially by attending campus events. College students are very social and will warm up to you as far as you are focused, independent and likeable. My conversational skills and confidence have really improved from this. Also, you'd be surprised that you can learn a lot from undergrad students who look up to you as a TA/RA.

Lastly, never ever give up! Focus on what you can control and leave the rest to God. Best wishes to y'all.
Thanks for sharing!

Good evening,

Please I'm filling the DS 160 Form, and I'm not sure what to fill in the space where they asked where I'll be living in the US. Under normal circumstances, I should have paid for an apartment, but times are different. Right now, no one knows when we're going so paying for a place in advance is out of it.

Should I write NOT AVAILABLE in the space for address? How did you deal with this, please? Someone suggested that I enter the address of the International Office.

Please help!!!!!

Thank you.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by kastgeraldino: 8:17pm On Jun 15, 2020
You can give your school's address or an office in the school dedicated to int'l students

Try using internet explorer. I had that issue with chrome when I was trying to open the Ds160 form on it. It was later after I have more or less completed the form I was able to use chrome for it.
Thank you for responding . It has been sorted . I changed my internet provider like someone suggested earlier and it worked .

Hello,

Please this is another DS 160 Form question.

In the space where they asked who is sponsoring the trip, do they mean the person sponsoring my studies or just the trip abroad?

Thanks in advance for your response.
