Good morning house,
please how months or years does it take for the sevis fee to expire if an F1 student is yet to leave his/her country?

No spring 2021 option?

Unfortunately, that's the reality. You can't get paid unless you are in the US. My school offered to defer my admission and full scholarship for one year. Even though deferring is hard, I got no choice but to accept cos I'm getting tired of all the uncertainties. Let me use this one year to build my network further and earn more.

The sevis fee expires one year from the date you made the payment.

Not really, the V.O may decide to plot a twist and be like.

"since you already started online from Nigeria and you have completed 1 out of 4 semesters, why not stay in Nigeria to complete it?, after all, your post study goal is to return back to Nigeria and work as a manager for ABC Company?"

This is really good news, I hope the Nigerian embassy and consulate follow suit. Now I have a question, since ICE asked schools to reissue new I-20s, do you think we can still apply with our current I-20s? Or is the I-20 really "beyond the embassy's jurisdiction" and they only need to see it as proof that you're a student (but not necessarily concerned with the fine print).
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by sonofakin: 11:33am On Jul 11, 2020
If the declaration from ICE remains the status quo,
my guess is that we will have to get an updated i20. You can view some tweets from that @USEmbassyJA page. If all the law suits did not materialize, I guess schools will have to compromise and start issuing new i20s

approximately 60K.
For textbook, I don't have information on that. You will have to check Jumia or Amazon for paper textbook.
But I have some PDF textbooks I can send to you for free. And you can also consider tutorial for better performance

Thanks! But I think if I should register myself the cost will definitely reduce �

I need money!!

According to the college board it costs $48 without essay approximately #20000+

And besides I've gotten an offer of #40000 from a tutorial center!

So bro! Show me the way so I can register myself and save some change!

$48 for US residents. There ata additional expenses as an international student.

I paid about $108 for SAT with essay, entirely online. Just go to college board'' website, create an account, and register for the SAT. The payment is one of the steps in the registration process. Once you get to the website, the rest becomes very easy.

International passports are required.

There are many free resources online, just Google "SAT test prep resources" and you'll see lots of PDFs.

I would recommend you get a copy of Erica Meltzer's "The Critical Reader." It is a wonderful book for the reading section, it helped me get a near perfect score on reading. For the Weekend section, I'd recommend College Panda Writing. It's a great book for writing, very comprehensive. For Math, the official book is best, but if you are very good in Math and you'd like to challenge yourself, get a copy of John Chung's 54 SAT Math tips. It covers all possible math topics on the SAT comprehensively, but the exercises are quite difficult and challenging.

For the exam day, I'd advise you eat before coming. Keep yourself calm, no tension. Time yourself. Make sure to go over your work on every section. There were some mistakes I made that I discovered while going through my work. Time yourself. Hone your concentration and focus towards the exam.

You're lucky you have your GA in place despite deferment. Most schools will put you back in pool and evaluate you against all other admitted students for the semester you're to resume and the best profile at that time gets the GA. I bet that's why most people on GA wouldn't risk deferment right now and are considering starting online just to hold tight to the GA.

It depends on the University.

If you are applying through the Common Application or Coalition, it would be a nice idea to explain it in the additional information section. Your transcript and letter of recommendations should come from the same school.

Hi!

I'm quite knowledgeable about the undergrad process. Those colleges are high reaches for everyone--including students with all As. You can't apply to only those schools.

Are your Bs B2s or B3s?

I know a lot of people who got into these schools for undergrad and I must say their WASSCE was way higher. This isn't to say you can't do it, but you need to add other schools. Add LACs with international funding like Amherst, Williams, Lafayette, etc.

Also check out Minerva at KGI.

You should totally take the SAT &/ Subject SATs. My friend with a 1510 was rejected at a lot of top colleges, but got into Amherst and Darmouth. And she had a 4.0, 5 A1s and had Olympiad experiences. Another with a 1460 got into Stanford with a phenomenal essay and international experience. All my friends basically had *something* that set them apart.

Don't stalk college confidential for the sake of your mental health.

Basically, you need something that shines through your app. How are your ECs? Your essays need to be awesome. I promise you a lot of essays are really horrible.

Honestly, your SAT needs to be really high to make up for the WASSCE.

I wish you the best of luck, but that college list of yours is not it. Besides, I think at first all of us are blinded with the promise of prestige. Why do you even want to apply to those ones? Have you checked out your future departments in each one. Ivy or not, not all departments are fantastic.


Goodluck!
I pmed u . I would like if you or anyone of ur friends who were admitted can act as college advisers for me

It is not that i really have a hidden agenda about going to the US, but we all know that schooling in the US is more beneficial than doing it online.
In the US i Will be schooling and work and together with my stipends to support myself financially, forget about that i have sponsor remember am going to be the one sort myself out for about 80% of my expenses because I am a working class here with wife and kid too.
So going to the US will make the studies very easy for me and i Will also be able to cater for my wife and kid that i left behind here in Nigeria out what I am earning from the part-time job I will be doing there now. At all at all I must be able to pay for their house rent and feedings here in Nigeria now.

But schooling online here in Nigeria, all these benefits would be lost now. This is my plan oooo

This doesn’t make sense. If going to work to help defray part of your tuition costs and support your family is why you want to get a visa, couldn’t the VO tell you it’s better to stay in Nigeria and study online then? It’s cheaper, you avoid additional housing costs and you can work full time since there are no work restrictions in your home country.

You should come up with better arguments
