Please guys I need help.

I initially got an assistantship offer and requested an I-20 from the school and proceeded with paying my Sevis and booking a visa appointment,
But then I just got a better assistantship offer from my Dream school.

I have requested for an I-20 from the new school where I got funded.

Plus what do I do next?
Can I change my Sevis No. in the CGI website from the old Sevis number I originally submitted to the one in my new I-20 from my dream school?

And how do I go about it ?

I haven’t submitted my Ds-160 form yet

Please help a brother with steps to take. Thank you in advance!

I will like to change it to ir2. Should i send a mail to embassy now or after the interview
lily156:
IR2 should have been locked in with the CSPA. F2B does not get locked in.
Sometimes the embassy makes that IR2 to F11 mistake and you have to push back. It's a quite common scenario and sending an email to NVC usually resolves it.
Oh well, since you now have an interview date, all is well.

I think i have answered the question, it was IR2 before and was dq before the age of 21 but when the case was transferred to the consulate she is already above the age of 21 with 2 months that was why they changed it to f11

Travel / Re: Is It Necessary To Use Agent For Visa Processing/procurement? by Sisib15: 1:13pm On May 11, 2023
Wow, most people have been complaining about him. I thibk you should report the scammer to the police
samckanify:


On the 20th of June, 2022, Sheyi Shobayo announced that he has 2 remaining slots, out of 7 for anyone interested in getting a Canadian work permit (visa) which will cost 2.350.000 (Two million, three hundred and fifty thousand naira). He gave a time frame of 90 days. According to him, if visa was not issued after 90 days, the initial deposit of 450,000 Naira would be returned.

Upon receipt of the mail, I contacted him and he asked me to pay so they can start working as the documents are on ground. I transferred the sum of 450,000 naira from my GTBANK account to his KUDA MFBANK as requested by him.

22nd June, 2022, he asked for several details to enable him file the application. I was under the impression that he had secured the work contract and ready to file for visa; I obliged him all the details he requested.

5th of July, 2022, he demanded for visa/biometrics fees. Equivalent of $240 was sent to him in naira.

July 26th, 2022, a friend my mine whose name is Blessing Nneka Obasai, said she would be interested in the Canadian work permit offer. I contacted Sheyi Shobayo, he said he could take one more person. Same day, Blessing Nneka Obasi transferred the sum of 450,000 into his account (Wema Bank:Sposh Travels and Tours: 7810732125)

12th of August, 2022, Sheyi Shobayo sent a message asking where I would like to go for my biometrics? Lagos, I said.

14th of September, Sheyi Shobayo sent another messge via whatsapp, saying that my job would be ready, same week. I reminded him that over 1 month ago, he said my biometrics letter was going to be out. But there's no update on that. On this same date, he sent a biometrics letter to Miss. Nneka Obasi, asking her to go for her biometrics in Ghana. She was told that she couldn't do it in Ghana, that she has to go back to Lagos for her biometrics.


Nneka Obasi had to travel down to Lagos, the following week so she could do her biometrics. She spent over 2 weeks in Lagos but Sheyi Shobayo couldn't come up with another biometrics letter as promised. Instead, he denied being aware she was in Lagos. Even when I sent him a message, informing him that she was in Lagos for her biometrics.

After the 14th of September, I asked Sheyi Shobayo for update on my application? He couldn't give me a tangible response. On the 23rd, 29th, and 30th September, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 11th of October, I sent him series of messages, asking when I'll get my biometrics letter? Most of them, he ignored.

On the 13th of October, 2022, at about 2.18pm, Sheyi Shobayo sent me a biometrics letter which he received on the 15th of September. Now, the biometrics letter was going to expire the next day. It was valid for 30 days. He said I should not go to VFS the next day because there won't be space for me. That he has to apply for another biometrics letter. I asked why he waited till after 27 days before sending the letter to me? He said he forgot.

5 weeks went by, and there was no biometrics letter. Nneka Obasi asked Sheyi Shobayo to send back her money. It was over 3 months, already and no sign of progress. At a point, she stopped chatting with him because she complained that Sheyi Shobayo is a rude person and lacks manners. So, I was the person talking to Sheyi on our behalf.

On the 16th of November, I asked Sheyi Shobayo to return all monies sent to him. As there's no proof that we are making progress. He insisted that the process was on and needed more time. On the 29th of November, he sent me a mail and asked me to get in touch with Nneka. That she should come back to Lagos for her biometrics. When I studied the correspondence, I realized that Sheyi Shobayo applied for a visit visa for Nneka Obasi. When I asked why the visa application changed from work permit to tourist visa? He said it's visitor to work permit. I told him that it is NOT possible to convert Canadian visit visa to work permit. He claimed that it was his job.

When I questioned him further, he told me that he was processing a working holiday visa. I asked him to send me a link from Canadian website because I know that Nigeria doesn't participate in the IEC visa. He took offense and has been ignoring my messages, ever since

Being aware of the trick he wanted to play, we decided that he must return the money we gave him. He has failed to process a Canadian work permit as agreed, within the 90 days time frame. This is the 6th month, I have not gone for biometrics. The biometrics letter he sent to me was scrutinized and I found out that he also applied for a visit visa for me. That was not our agreement. His story for non performance is unending and it has become obvious that Sheyi Shobayo is in breach of our agreement. Yet, he is still holding on to our hard earned funds with impunity.

Right now, he says he's out of the country. To him, there's nothing I can do.

[b][/b]Part 2 of my story will feature next week.[

Priority Date was 2019
Dq=2022[
Nigeria quote author=lily156 post=123041079]If you've been invited for an interview, then the embassy will let you know the documents you need. Follow the instructions from the embassy.
F11 is not difficult. It's based on the relationship with your parent and you don't have to do much to prove it's genuine unlike marriage category.

What's your priority date and DQ date? Nigerian embassy?

That's why you have not been seeing dates, since last week the embassy has been releasing favorable dates for first but for those that have been denied before even if you pick regular you might not see favorable date. You may see May 18 ,2023 using the cancel option but to reschedule you will see 2024

Travel / Re: Quitting Good Job For Australia Study Visa by Sisib15: 8:46pm On May 05, 2023
Thank this advice and perish
JeffreyJunior:
If I were you in the current Nigeria, I'd keep the job for now, find a way to get in touch with the school and put the admission on hold.

I'd also see if I can get in touch with the embassy and defer or cancel the visa with the hope of having it renewed at a later date.

I would like to explore the new job for now and save as much as I could and then travel with good financial strength later.

The school can always wait. If you abandon that job and travel now to start afresh in an entirely new environment with little or not enough cash, you'll regret it.

I have Admission to study Msc in Engineering Technology and Management. my visa has been granted since fabruary this year. i was supposed to start my program the same fabruary but due to the fact that the visa was granted a bit late, i had to differ the admission to july intake. That same fabruary i got a job here in Nigeria. the benefit attached to the job are as follow:
Salary is 540k Net.
HMO for me and my family.
28 days work, 14 day time off.
yearly Renewal of my contract bonus is x2 of my Salary.
No pension.
it's a contract job that can last for minimum of 3years.
Now my confusion is quiting this job to start afresh in Australia on a study visa. Please Gurus in the house. do you think am taking a good decision in this my Australia journey? Does quitting my job for my study worth it.
NOTE i have booked my flight to depart First week of june. Should i go for my tuition fee and ticket refund and continue with this new job?
