Please has anyone ever gone for interview a day or two days after their i-20 expires?

I-20 or visa fee??
Ok if it's i-20 you can request for a new one from the school showing a later date.

Best of luck

help a soul

If you have your admission and your i-20, you can proceed to the US Embassy website and follow the instructions on how to schedule an interview appointment. Basically, paying the visa fee, scheduling appointment, SEVIS fee, filling ds160, getting all supporting documents together and preparing for interview.

Best of luck

Hello everyone,

Please I need advice, my school will resume August 16,2022 and have been trying to book for an interview since dec, 2021, all date have been book to 2023 and only available space is in Abuja which is August 21.. what can I do

You can keep checking if you will see a closer date. In case you don't see this few weeks to earliest resumption as it is on your i-20, you can request for emergency appointment.

Best of luck

This is wrong. You can use a company's statement of account. I know so many persons that have used it

Okay that's fine then since you have those that used it to get their visa. As long as you can state clearly why the company will sponsor your program.

Best of luck

Please help a brother. Can someone use a company bank statement and use a person’s name, say mom, as a sponsor. Mom bank statement isn’t enough to finance the whole stuff.

If yes, how do I package it together with what to tell the VO

You can't use a company's SOA. A personal SOA is better.

Cap91:
Good morning everyone, please someone should please answer me. My school resumption date has passed so I requested that my admission should be deferred. The school granted it but they told it's to summer. But my question is hope the payment made $160 and $350 remain the same.

Which $160 and $350??
If it's visa and SEVIS fee, you don't have to pay again.

Hello Nairalanders, I would appreciate it so much if someone can clarify if I need to update my ds-160 form since February last year that I filled it that I was going for vacation in Dec 2021. And now I will going for my interview next month and will tell the VO that I am using it to go my sister graduation in May this year. Thank you

Yes you can update it. Current job, intended date of travel etc. As long as it's 72hrs before interview date

Best of luck

Can someone help with affordable flight to the USA, please?

Possibly if there’re any discount(s) too.

Would appreciate the pricing too.

Thank you.

Check WakaNow or better still, compare individual airline and choose the cheapest.

I have been checking online and the travel site says non US citizen needs to be fully vaccinated. Are pregnant women excluded as most of the centers I’ve been going to all say I can’t get vaccinated while pregnant. Will I be able to travel with just a negative covid test and my green passport?

Well that's new. Although in the US, they have approved the vaccine for pregnant women. You may have to get a Covid test done at least and maybe a letter or something stating the refusal for the vaccination. I really can't say but I just hope the allow pregnant women to fly with a negative Covid test since they are not allowed to take the vaccine.
However some of my friends that travelled recently were not asked for the vaccination just a negative test but who never can tell. Check with the airline too.

Best of luck

Tinafusty:
Please have you seen someone that used a US relative as sponsor and was approved?
because am married and am using my sister in US, but I was planning to change sponsor because I defer from spring to fall session

Yes. A friend that resumed at GSU this Spring used his uncle that's in the US as a sponsor. The thing is, regardless of who you want to use as a sponsor be sure the person is clean if he/she is in another country especially US. You should be able to prove he/she is genuine. Why will he/she sponsor you? How much is the fee?? Nature of job? How long has he/she been there??

Magma012:
Thank you bro

The money no be here sha

Yes, schooling in the US is expensive. Reason why we look out for any form of Assistantship to foot the bill. So you can take extra steps by talking to the graduate coordinator of the school about funding requirements.

Best of luck

Magma012:
Hi friends,
Someone should please help me explain the total money for the graduate studies.
Is it that the sum of $44,744 is to be paid for the course of two years studies?

The total here is the estimate for a year depending on the total credit hours. If multiplied by 2 is that amount you typed, then that's the estimate for 2 yrs.

DPLus007:
Hello house … I just got admitted into New Jersey city university for summer session and someone told me to defer the admission..What do you guys think ?

Congratulations.
What do you want to do?
Why does someone want you to defer?
Defer to which session?

Best of luck

Chynwem:
Please guys I need answers.

Hmmm how is the brother doing? And did he entered as a student too? Making sure everything about the brother is legal is necessary. She can change her sponsor. I've had friends who changed sponsor if you think that's the issue but I'm sure that's not the only issue. How much is the cost of attendance and for what program? Was she asked why her brother will sponsor her and what does the brother do? how long has he been in the US?
If you can provide a well detailed transcript of how her interview went it will be good.

Best of luck

Moda1:
Ok dear . Thanks
I was hoping get the British airways pregnancy week that her fit to fly from her doctor should be . She will be 34 weeks by the time she is traveling. What do u think

34wks is not bad. Let her just make sure to travel light and create enough leg room for herself while onboard. Yes a note of fitness from her doctor will be fine just in case. The most important thing is the Covid requirements

Moda1:
My sister is going to give birth in canada . She has visa and ticket is ready. Airline of choice is British airways .
Pls what is she expected to have handy before boarding the flight . Is there any requirements from British airways? Pls enlighten me . Thanks

She can check with the airline for the requirements and also check the country's Covid requirements too.

Gokoyer1401:
Hello Sister,
Response from OSU just came in. $9017 for spouse, $4508 per child, and $10098 for Spouse and Child(ren) health insurance.
Are we expected to pay this much for dependents' insurance?

Okay. You can always add dependent on your school insurance. That's just an estimate. Either you or your spouse can add the dependant. Depending on the type of insurance the school is using, for UnitedHealth student insurance, it's $850/semester or less depending on the plan.

Good morning all.. please if a company is inviting someone to the US for training.. can they issue 2 years B1/B2 visa

Training shouldn't be classified under B1/B2 visa type. You can check the US embassy website and read through the type of visas and their requirements.

Nduka22:
I got an admission just now, Missouri university of science and technology, Mining Engineering with $14k funding. The school is asking for $200 deposit. Please house, i need an advice.Tuition is $28k per year. COA $45k....is there any financial aid that can help me with the COA? Any idea on how I can sort this deficit.

Congratulations.
Okay first thing first, can you afford to pay the outstanding payment? If not, you can ask if there's provision for extra funding. If this is a MSc or PhD program, you can ask if there's a TA or RA position that will help cover the deficit.

Best of luck

Hello guys, I'll really love to hook up with those aspiring to go study an undergraduate course in the united states.
Please lets hookup and share ideas together.

You can DM

Oyekora:
Thanks, how will he evaluate. How to go about it. He will be glad it you can put him through.

Through WES or any other evaluation company but most people use WES. Their website can be gotten through Google.

Oyekora:
Good evening kindly help me. My Friend want to apply for school in USA but he as HND. Kindly assist on the step to take

He should evaluate his ND and HND results and apply. It's the GPA after evaluation that matters.

Best of luck

Good afternoon everyone.
Who has an idea of the interview earliest date for B1/B2?

Thank you

Systrom:
The female white lady V.O at the last cubicle by the right is a pure feminist and a man hater

In my front she approved 6 females of their visa and denied about 5 guys.

Including a guy with impressive travel history to UK, S.A, Dubai, Kenya and Cyprus

I wonder how many more she denied before I entered and after I had left

Even females who didn’t have valid travel reasons got their visa. Like a young woman going for F2 to be with her husband as a dependent and a girl going for B1/B2 for a conference she could have participated in online all got their visa

She denied only one female in my front, because that one was saying something entirely different from what was in her DS-160, so it became obvious that an agent filled the form for her, the V.O shakes her head, giving the facial expression of “you blew your chances of getting this visa” then issued blue paper denial letter.

So this is a bonus for any female going to Abuja Embassy. Target yourself to be interviewed by the V.O at the extreme right cubicle. There is 99% percent chance your visa will be approved

Finally, this V.O needs to be reported to U.S department of state and sanctioned immediately. She is putting too much emotions in her job. I wonder which man break her heart sef.

Hmmmmmmm

AdebolaNG:
Hi guys,

I want to ask if I can go for visa interview without my passport.

Maybe they can allow me enter the embassy for my interview and I can submit my passport later.

Please advice

Okay. No, you can't go to the embassy for your interview without your passport and submit passport later.

Best of luck
