Noted LagosNIV!

Would I need to take my marriage certificate along? Or his financials? His sister is my sponsor , so I figured that I maybe asked why not my husband as a sponsor.

Thanks alot!

Good day LagosNIV,


Advise taken!

My fiancee is a greencardholder and we're thinking about getting married in court in the US. However he doesnt plan to file for me until he's a citizen. He lives and works as a doctor in Nigeria as well. He is thinking of a masters programme for fall 2018.
1) should i declare that I'm married even though i don't plan to change my name for my school admission
2)would being married to a greencard holder be a disadvantage
3) If I apply for F1 visa for January term and get it, would it be possible to defer until fall 2018? I know the school can...but what are the implications for the F1?

[quote author=LagosNIV post=61171714]You can apply to the school you wish to attend any time they will allow you to, including while you are in the US, but I would advise that you return to Nigeria and apply for a new visa. Based on current USCIS processing times it would be very unlikely that an adjustment of status would be completed within the timeframe you are looking at.

Thanks for the feedback @LagosNIV ! Do you have an idea of the current processing time for B2 to F1 COS for Nigerians within the US ? Also, what are my chances of getting the F1 in Nigeria considering I've been to the US thrice without any violations? I would be most grateful for your response. Thanks

Hello LagosNIV,

I am currently in the US, this is my 3rd visit to the US and my stay expires end of January.
I am considering doing a program(community college or 4yr Uni) this coming Spring 2018. This is my 3rd visit to the US.
I read on the USCIS website and some schools have told me that it is possible to apply for a change of status within the US however it may take a while.
What do you advise I do? Stay 90days then apply for school, get an I20 and wait for "a while'' before I get a response from Immigration which runs a risk of not getting to me before January resumption meaning I would have to file for an extension of my current visa OR return to Nigeria and apply from there?

Thanks.

Please can any1 be kind enuff 2 forward the possible test and essay questions to me>>PLS HELP OUT. Thanks!
