Paying sevis fee with Sevis Express, is a fast sure n' reliable way for making this payment from Nigeria. It saves u a lot of stress & time. I rate you 5*s. Thank you

Thank you for the feedback/review.

Received my I-20, finished the SEVIS registration process, then went through the payment instructions thinking I'll be in and out of the bank in 20 minutes tops. I ended up visiting 7 different banks (without even mentioning the different branches) just to make the SEVIS fee payment. Did i succeed in making the payment? No! Instead I felt stupid as I tried explaining to the bank officials what SEVIS is all about!
Angry, I came home and began researching alternative ways to make the payment, then I came across SEVIS Express and other third-party agencies on Twitter. To be honest, I was afraid of facilitating the payment through any of them.
I checked the veracity of their various websites, and found SEVIS Express to be the most authentic of all. I followed the instructions in their website (https://sevisexpress.com/pay-sevis-fee/), made the payment around 7am, and got my receipt around 8pm same day.
What's different from other agencies you ask?... Competitive commission rates, Excellent customer service, Swift payment processing (with the option of Debit Card/Bank Deposit) and most importantly, a GENUINE PLATFORM.

Therefore, I highly recommend SEVIS Express for anyone looking for alternative method of paying the SEVIS fee.

Thank you for the feedback Sir.

My experience with SEVISEXPRESS and my SEVIS fee payment.
When my i-20 form arrived Nigeria I was instructed to make my SEVIS fee payment, I thought it was something I can just go to the bank, pick up a westernunion form and fill in the required details. The next day I went to bank,they said they can't make the payment. I tried 5 different Banks it didn't work out. I became frustrated bc there was no time on my side. I started surfing the net, saw testimonies about SEVISexpress here on NAIRALAND. I bumped the website, but still scared of making payment at first. I chatted with them, made the payment by 6:30pm on Thursday, and Hoping to receive confirmation the next day, but to my surprise I got my receipt by 7:45pm the same day.. I was like wow! thanks alot. I attached my proof and chat with them.
The amazing thing is, Sevisexpress don't charge much like Banks do.

I would recommend Sevisexpress for everyone, it is real, the customer care is always on and lots of benefits,tips and advice on how to go about your visa.

Thanks guys

You are welcome Sir. Glad you found our service worthwhile.

Hello house, is still posible for me to pay the visa fee on Monday and get a December date? My school is resuming January/10/2019

As at 2 days ago, there were multiple dates open in December. As @Ubah1 mentioned, if you don't see December dates, apply for emergency appointment.

I would like to share my transcripts here because the Nairaland platform was of tremendous help in preparing for my Visa interview. But before I go into all that, I would like to give a brief bio.

I am a Medical Dr and I applied for a masters degree to study Public Health at the University of Massachusetts. My IELTS score was 8/9 and my GRE score was 300. Applied to two other schools, university of Arizona and Georgia Southern University. I got accepted to all of them but only Massachusetts give me an Assistantship (which came with full tuition waiver, health benefits and biweekly stipends). I got my visa in my second attempt. My first one was in August 11, 2018 (at 11am) and it goes as follows;

VO; Goodmorning
Me; Goodmorning - can’t remember if I smiled or not
VO: so you are going to the University of Massachusetts?
Me; yes
VO: what would you be studying?
Me; Public Health with a focus in Health Policy and Management
VO: Ok. how long is your program?
Me: 2 years
VO; Ooh you are a Medical Doctor
Me; yes
VO: are you currently working?
Me: yes
VO; what do plan to with this degree?
Me; I intend to come back to Nigeria so that I could work in key organizations both government and Non governmental organizations involved in health policy formulations like the the ministry for health, primary health care development board. I also intend to.. the VO cuts in and says “so your father would be sponsoring you”
Me; NO, it’s actually my uncle. And besides I got a graduate assistantship that came with a full tuition waiver, health benefits and biweekly stipends. The entire value of my award is in excess of $44k.

VO: I know but your I-20 says you have a deficit of $12,300 (my total cost of attendance was $56000)

Me; yes, my uncle would take care of the rest.

VO: do you have his statements?

Me: yes
VO: lemme have them
Me: passed it to him. I came with a total of N6.1m from two financial institutions; Zenith Bank( had 1.6m) and Arm Investment Company ( had 4.5m)

VO; looks at it for a while and then say “.. ok.. congratulations.. I would be approving your visa but I would verify these statements and if they are fake you would ban from entering the US for life..”
Me; that’s fine they are 400% authentic.
VO; passes me the white paper and told me where to pick up my passport. He then mentioned that “..inform your school so that they can send you a letter that you would present at the POE should there be delays with verifying your statements”
Me: Ok. Then I walked away

So after the interview, the embassy closed down for over 2weeks. When they reopened, I got a mail from the embassy saying I should submit a letter of authorization for just the ARM Investment Company bank statements. I did that quickly. I sent copies to both the bank and the embassy. I also informed them that I had submitted what they asked. So, after a week got another mail saying that I should resubmit my bank statements along with my passport. The next day they returned my passport so I printed the exact same bank statements I came with during my interview and resubmitted it alongside my passport. After this, I was quite optimistic that there won’t be any issues. 2days later, I checked my status and it had changed from “administrative processing” to “Refused”
I was a bit confused and shocked. because my bank statements were legit and I had done all that they asked. So I waited to pick up my passport to see what their could have been. When I pick my passport, they attached a denial letter to it. It was very generic and it was the same one they normally give anyone they denied. I was really sad. I didn’t want to try again. The whole process had taken over a month and in the end I was still denied. Meanwhile, my school had deferred my admission to spring 2019. But luckily for me, they said I would still have my assistantship should I come over in January. This gave some form of courage to try again. So I did. My second interview was last week Thursday (25th October) at 9am Abuja. This time around, I got a new bank statement from a Conventional Bank that had more money (9.4m). My interview was as follows;

VO; Goodmorning, welcome to the United States embassy
Me; Goodmorning
VO; why are you going to the University Of Massachusetts
Me; I’m going to obtain a masters degree in Public Health
VO; what school did you attend
Me: university of PortHarcourt. I studied medicine and surgery
VO: I can see that you have a GA, does it cover for you full tuition
Me; yes it does, it also comes with health benefits and a biweekly stipend.

NB: After I said this I tried to bring out my bank statements to give to him because I thought he said “can I see your statements” but he quickly cut in and said “ pls put that back, I would not be needing that”

VO: how did you get this Assistantship
Me; I applied, then I was invited to do a Skype interview with the Director and weeks after, I got a mail saying I had been offered the position
VO: when did you get this Assistantship
Me; July, 2018
VO: are you currently practicing
Me: yes
VO; he typed for a while and the said “ congratulations, I would be approving your visa..I hope you enjoy your stay at the University of Massachusetts” and then he gave me two white slips and then was said some other things about where to pick up my passport. But At that point I could no longer hear him.. I was so happy and shocked.. I kept saying in my “ he did ask for my bank statements, he didn’t ask why I chose to study this course, or what this course would do for me, or what are your study plans, or why were you denied the last time” all the questions I prepared for, all the questions I feared he might.. he didn’t ask any of them. He just approved my visa. Just like that !!

My passport was ready for pick the next day but I picked it up yesterday.

It was a very humbling experience for me and in all I give thanks to God almighty. He did it for me. It ended in praise. I am also grateful to everyone here on this platform. You guys are doing a great job. God bless you all. Shalom

Congratulations!!!

Gewezzy1:
Hi house, I got my I20 today,now i plan to use my Uncle who has enough money in his account,he has good travel history too.... But my major ish is we don't bear same surname and on the requirements for visa i saw I have to prove wt birth certificate dt we are related, how am I supposed to prove that because we don't have same name. Do i get a court statement?

I do not believe this is a mandatory requirement- it is fine if your surname is different. Just make sure you provide an authentic bank statement and a sponsor's letter/affidavit. You should be able to respond to any questions the consular has about your relationship with your uncle and why he is committing to being your sponsor.

nanyiaxxx:
Hi guys please I need your help. When requesting a lecturer to write a recommendation letter for you do you need to include your CV

It depends on the relationship you have with the lecturer. You should provide as much detail as you can about the school, your motivation for the program and your long term goals. Attaching a resume is fine.

Back when I was a student applicant, I found it helpful to give them a call and talk through my choice of program/school and goals.

SEASON's GREETINGS FROM ALL OF US AT SEVIS EXPRESS

Awilibogy:
Good morning House.
Please I need your urgent assistance, I deferred my admission to spring 2019, Do I have to pay another SEVIS fee? The new i-20 carry the same SEVIS FEE NO.

No you do not need to. SEVIS Fee payment is valid for 12 months.

tactmayor:
Are you saying that if I apply to a University that does not require Nigerians to submit language scores, then I wont be offered funding?. I dont think that is true!!!

You must have misread him- he said "most schools will require..." not "all schools" and I can attest to that. There would be a few exceptions.

Bunmip:
Please, is it advisable to go to the embassy with documents of approved student loan? What type of questions should i be expecting if its acceptable? Please guys, i need your reply.

This may depend on the type of student loan. I know folks who took a loan from Prodigy and were granted visas. The more credible your loan provider, the better for you.

You should be able to answer any questions on the source of the loan, how much it covers from your expected tuition/living costs and how you intend to repay it after your studies.

oladiran2:
Still waiting on your review
