cseejhay:
pls has visa fee increased, was told 53,600 by GTB customer care rep and was told 54,400 by the guy at the Bank.Bussiness/ tourist visa same 54,400. has it always been this way? is this correct? pls where can i confirm the authentic price? someone pls. thanks.

if the staff of Gtbank who will process the fee told you the 54,400 why doubting ?

Don't you know that the visa fee amount is always written on the receipt boldly ?

Let's try and understand that there are somethings we don't need to doubt at all

vinci500:
Can you please help me with some?

Masters or bachelor degree

amanze15:
hello everyone is there any reason why the call apps decided to increase international call rates to Nigeria

Maybe recession in Nigeria caused it..

vinci500:
Which school in the US can I apply to that won't request for a tuition deposit?

They are many and you just need to search for the ones that match your taste..

MECHANICALENG:
Good afternoon everyone, Please house where in the passport does *passport book number* located?? Or what does it means??
Thank you

We only use passport number in Nigeria and we don't use passport PIN number all

sobastical:
Gbam! thanks for the classic input.
How about the duration?

Let's give the thanks to God

It depend on destination but Lagos and Abuja should be within 2 weeks to 4 weeks while other states should be within 3 weeks and more

LagosismyHome:
Passport book number or Passport number ? . Two different things but i think you probably need your passport no
On the page that has your picture (photopage ) there is a number listed below , usually very long with some <<< as well with your passport number, birthday details and other numbers ....... that is the passport book no . Its too long and prone to you typing it in error so i doubt if you need to put this in , i have only used it once but it was not for embassy stuff

but if you need only Passport no , check your photo page , it listed under Passport no , with an A.......

In addition at the end of each page on the passport there number is writing there..

SAMUELS3:
Ok, yea.
He was asleep, he just responded now.

Good to hear!

fatanu:
Hello Guys, i have heard they ask for any standardize test in interview, i have toefl, do i still need to write GRE. My sch does not need gre

Most time VO ask but not all the time..

If you want funding just make sure you write GRE along with your Toefl

ugosshhh:
Hi guys...in filling the ds 160 form for my F1 do i have to select that i have made specific travel plans?

Yes if you have but if you don't just click not and fill intending date o arrival..

LagosismyHome:
I think d key difference is.... if u are asked before admission then u are expected to show the full balance.....but if asked after admissions and if given scholarship then the bank balance u show is less the amount of scholarship.

The schools will always tell applicants the amount they want on the statement.

LagosismyHome:
Typed with sleep eye ....

.

Lol..

Ajibade105:
Share with me the 5lb Manhattan. Thanks

Were you able to download the GRE the way I explained it via email ?

sobastical:
Can you request for tracking from the school?

If not then wait for about 2 weeks, though it should not be more than that.

Cc: Walspring

Tracking is not available for regular mail

khulthum:
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE REPLY DIS

Do you stay in Lagos or where?

fatanu:
Going for Msc, can't i tender only TOEFL when the VO ask for any standardize test.

Sure you can but if your school requires GRE for the course and the VO interview you is aware since some VO are fondly aware of some schools requirement then you have be to ready to tell VO why you didn't write GRE

Also try write GRE it will help you in future to secure funding

SAMUELS3:
.

He will confirm and get back to you or you pm him..

No need for you to have deleted or edit the post and don't be panic he will get back to you..

Fortissimo502:
Yeah true. But christobam was asking about sending bank statements before admission. Hence my post. He said he can't ask his aunty for her bank statements before he gets admission. That's why I sed he should look for another. In my experience, i didn't see many schools that requested bank statements before they offer you admission. That's an unecessary application burden.

I understand your previous and Presley post but the truth is that each schools have their own policy..

Some schools ask applicant to send before making admission decision while some will ask applicant to send as soon as they are admitted so that they can issue i20 immediately for them.

khulthum:
hi guys....pls I jus got an admission for spring 2017 ...I opted to using regular airmail (nipost)for shipping my i20 to nigeria ..does any one how long it will take before i recieve it .the sch mailed to tell me they shipped it out last week Friday...cos Im hoping to book a visa appointment by november...I'm jus hoping and praying my i20 gets ere before den....Pls anyone who knows how long it takes to get a parcel sent via nipost?

Well I will say you can get your documents within 2weeks to 4 weeks if you stay in Lagos or you don't get it at all sometimes the system disappoint and fumble

If it's outside Lagos, you can get it within 3 weeks to 8 weeks or you don't get it all at if the system disappoint.

It's unfortunate that regular mail doesn't have tracking for you to know how it's moving..

sobastical:
Does that mean any student they asked is a qualified one already without a formal notification?

Yes if the student is admissible with his/her documents after reviewing it..

LagosismyHome:
If u have a good sat then don't limit yourself to only this school ..... There are other full ride scholarship for undergraduate and also schools that don't ask for bank statement upfront. A good no ask for it after admissions

Exactly before they issue i20 to successful applicants

tomisinobbm:
Man, if the christian university in Tennessee, I'd advice to try elsewhere.
With my "good" SAT score, they gave me $7000 leaving me to pay 14k. Which wasn't an option for me.
But hey! Everybody's case is different so, Goodluck!
As for that bank statement ehn,the average school would ask for it.
I stand to be corrected.
I

All schools ask for it before they will issue i20 to applicants

Fortissimo502:
Why not look for another school that doesn't require financial statements up front? Most don't.

All schools ask for financial statement before issuing an I20..

So he can't escape it unless he doesn't want to attend the school at all

LagosismyHome:
If d exchange rate has been going down sometimes then u can say maybe take the risk and see what it becomes after 04 ....but all the dollar has been going is up up up not down agains the naira so it more likely either it stays the same or go up ..... not likely going down not for now . How u decide is your choice to make ooo .

I don't think it will come down after 4th of this month and a new date will be put on the site when the new rate will expire..

But I find it hard to understand why they keep putting date when the rate with expire anytime a new rate is given and not using CBN rate?

Is like US embassy on their own doesn't want their dollars to come down in Nigeria at all.

kenniez26:
Reference from Nigeria USA visa website the visa fees for f 1 student in naira is 53600 naira.the value was gotten my multiplying the visa fees in dollar which is 160 by the consular exchange rate which is 335.this exchange will be expired by 04/10/2016 according to the website.my question is whether the consulate exchange rate of 335 is based on black market rate or CBN rate?because I think if it based on CBN rate the fees in naira might actually reduce but if it is based on black market rate na gobe be that ooooo.I actually want to know if I can pay it now before 04/10 or wait till after 04/10

Cc lagosismyhone , walspring, Christian and other gurus

You can go ahead and pay now and with the way I am seeing this it will go up because few years ago same thing was posted on their site and it rises from 26400 to 31200 to 48000 and now 53600..

With this I guess dollars will still reach 700 naira before the end of this year..

Anyway if you have faith that it will come down and they will use CBN rate then wait but with the new and useless CBN policy it won't come down since CBN gave banks order to source for dollars and put their own rate on it..

texrem:
Are u still doing business studies wey u do for primary school? You over smart sef..

Lol...

Ajibade105:
I want someone to pay on my behalf and sending cash to his/her account. I don't mind getting a discount too. Thanks

Okay I can be of help but as for the discount I don't have power on that..

You can go to their website and possibly pay for yourself www.ets.org/gre

Ajibade105:
Hello,

How can help with the registration and payment of my GRE exam. Looking forward to seeing a swift response.

What kind of help do you want because we have many types of help.

Is it that you want someone to help you make payment on your behalf but sending the cash to the person account or you want discount payment to be done for you ?
