Concerning the date of scheduling for interview, the last time I checked, it was 120 days ( 4 months ) to the resumption date. Was it changed recently to 3 months? Pls house bros wants to make sure no mistakes.

Yes... It was typo error from me..

sirRiddy:
I used paypal and my gtb mastercard to pay. I have my gtb activated for online banking.
37200 was deducted instead of 36000naira/180dollars that I calculated. Wonder the reason for the extra charges.

It's due to devaluation of our Naira and rise in dollar.

Our Cbn/Banks are thieves because exchange rate used to receive dollars from usa via western union 195, i need para for GTconnect yesterday but if you making payment we will be charged 205 or 210 or more..

Our government bad ooooo

elmadavida:
Good morning, please I need advise on this:

I deferred my admission last year fall till fall this year (September). I just received the form I-20 for this year and the Sevis Number on it is the same as the one on the form I-20 that was sent to me last year September. I had to defer last year's admission because the admission came late and I could not get an early visa interview date, so I cancelled the appointment with the embassy.
I know I have to pay a new visa fee, but I am not sure if I have to pay a new Sevis fee. Also, I am confused if I should use the same profile I created last year on www.ustraveldocs.com to schedule a new appointment.

Please I will really appreciate your advise on this. Thank you.

Sevis fee lasted for a year from the date of payment..

You will fill new ds160 because the information filled in the previous one is old because of your date of resumption and other things filled there then..

Good day guys....currently have two I-20
1- temple university Pennsylvania (neuroscience)

2- university of south Florida (nursing)
SAT-1620
TOEFL-96
NOV/dec waec ECE evaluation-3.0

I did not get any funding and I'm confused why

Also are the two both good schools and which do you think has a higher probability of securing me the visa based on the school and course.
And also when would be the best time to start the visa processing stuff
Also have admission from UB....but that aside tho.
Really appreciate the reply in advance

You can ask the school with you didnt get funding... Maybe you didnt meet their funding requirements.. You can apply for interview as from 3 months to your resumption date.

pcbo:

I am sorry to hear about this.. If i am not wrong, i think the letter lost or misplaced in between Enugu and Lagos road..

menix:

joenicewake:
What about Nipost? A friend of mine posted a registered letter since Feb 23, it hasn't reached the US yet. What do you think is the problem?

Is it Lagos or Asaba or from where did he posted it from?

profojah:
My own doesn't have tracking number..and I mailed WES to give me the tracking number or send another one but they insisted I pay another $7 for regular mail or $60 for courier...My balls broke into smithereens after paying the $60 cos ko si owo mo nigbayen! .

Okay... But which of the courier they did used that cost you $60

kennyrony:
Bro that USPS will take like how many days b4 it get to naija.

5 to 7 days, approximately a 10 days (with tracking number)

kennyrony:
@Walspring is not about having money to waste, never had an ideal of how you can receive it cos that's the only option the school gave in other to book for express shipping. UPS charges $101. Are you saying no point of registering on the eshipglobal site?

I should just go to der office in Lagos and tell them I want to receive a package from me school? Thanks

Okay and if i were you i wont pay eshipglobal and go for cheaper one... But its left for you to decide and pick your own choice because one man's meat is another man's poison..

kennyrony:

profojah:
It take weeks (10-20days Max) but its not reliable.
[b]My copy of WES report was sent through USPS last year [/b]and I'm unable to get it up till now..I went to the post office at Ikeja, & I was told maybe it gt misplaced on transit..so I had to pay extra $60 to WES for courier...but you mighty be lucky to have your own without problem...

Did it have tracking number because i do have mine and it has never been misplaced on transit oo even the one that does not even have tracking number

menix:
Hahahahahaha...
Run?! Datz funny..
Dat skool is filled wiv bunch of mama pikin cous immediately d 1st set of shot, i swear if not d faint hearted guyz i swear u wuld ve heard those involved were caught.

Broz if u get elders ask them d 9t Black Faze came to that skool nd u will find out we re not on same realm...

Bro don't let us deceive ourselves you can't catch them because it was a total shut down and who can get access to shut down the whole university light even the solar power too..

Even the friend of the guy that was shot will faint before getting themselves back because its unexpected attack..

Have you heard about the story of Tunde Salau(Late and former SUG president of Lasu) Even before his clique could surface Tunde Salau has gone and this happened in a broad day light oo

Well i don't know how serious and why they shot the guy but let us be vigilant because is likely the group of the guy shot might retaliate back or revenge before the end of examination which is a normal game they played in other schools .

My prayer is that we wont be a victim... Amen!!!

Gist me weytin happen when black faze come

jwaahn:

Akata girls sabi add and exaggerate no be small.

2 gun shot at first but at the end of the day, the blood on the ground its not even up to a pant of blood..

I think 2 gun shot at a time is exaggeration here.... because if its 2 gun shot at the time enough blood suppose to flow and what they did yesterday was hit and run since light was off, the person was lured or tricked to that particular spot and there wont be any need for the shooter to start shooting while running again because he will be traced.

Anyway success in your exam...

menix:
Guy u lied too, i was within d complex wen it all started nd it was more than a shot..
Had to leave after i got angry wiv som security guyz cous i felt some knew abt it buh allowed it..

which of the complex where you? Am sure you are among those who ran for their dear life while i am watching everything live on HD after the gun shot.

kennyrony:
Thanks so much bro, I was given 2 option FedEx or DHL that's why I ask PussySandie d amount she paid.

That means I will to contact the school to change my mailing address to get it across to you. Pls it gonna take like how many days before it get to Nigeria if u send it.

You format them like memory card that you want them to mail it to a mailing address in USA and am sure they will accept it

marqueetim:
lol bro.i have mastercard would prefer to join paypal how easy is it to join paypal?

marqueetim:
Access bro.I have mastercard but the info on the site says only visa card online payment is accepted from Nigeria.

You need online banking to activate your paypal within a day because you will be send a code to you via your monthly statement or you can wait for 30 to get it activated when you get your monthly statement via your email

You can ask someone who is using paypal to make the payment for you.

slimmy05:
this is annoyingly outrageous. $115, when you can get your I-20 less than that amount? Holy crap

slimmy05:
register wetin. Have it sent to me and I will send it via courier service which would be cheaper for you or go to TNT and schedule a pick-up. It shouldn't cost more than 65$ with fedex.

Dont mind them joor, dem get money to waste like that for just shipping.. Even USPS is $45

Naij.com can authoritatively report that two students of the Yaba College of Technology, YABATECH, Yaba, Lagos, have been gunned down.

Reports from the institution have it that the students had just held their Students’ Union government elections and the winners were to be revealed last night.

However, trouble started last evening when some students, sensing that their candidate was not going to win, began to shoot sporadically within the school premises.
One of the students of the institution who spoke with our correspondent, disclosed that two students had been shot at the last count and that one of her friends was already in tears following the shooting.

“One lady here broke into tears when she heard that somebody she knows had been shot. Whether the people who were shot are dead or not is what I cannot ascertain now because we are all in our hostel.

“The shooting lasted for about 30 minutes but everywhere is quite calm as we speak.

“We can only get more information tomorrow morning because nobody has the confidence to move out of the hostel this night because we are not certain if the shooting will continue,” she said.

Another eyewitness told our correspondent that the riot started in front of the School of Management and Business Studies just a few metres from the main entrance.

“As we speak, I can confirm that two people have been shot. I think they died on the spot as well. But, I cannot truly ascertain their conditions because they were laying lifeless after the shooting,” the student said on condition of anonymity.

A student of the institution, this morning, explained that about four of the students were shot and that it was a lady that led the ‘operation’.

“Honestly, the elections had been free and fair and everybody was glad that it had come and gone,” the final-year student began.

The source who pleaded anonymity, stated further in clear terms that, “I was in class at about 7 or 8pm when I started hearing sporadic gunshots all over the place.

“It was so fierce that I had to quickly take cover. When I got out, reliable guys here told me that four people had been shot already.

“The amazing thing is that the person who was shooting was said to be a lady, those who saw her confirmed it. But they did not disclose her identity just yet, I really do not think she is a student of YCT.

“Another thing that cannot be confirmed right away is whether the people who were shot are dead or alive because I did not see any corpse this morning“.

The students, who were preparing for their exams slated to start on Wednesday 11 March, may have to wait for a lengthier period as the school management may likely shift the date following the recent violence that marred the SUG election.

“Students are very few in the school as I speak and we are not likely to start our exams this week unless the Management wants us to continue despite all that has happened.

“The date for the commencement of the exam is 11 March, but whether it will be rescheduled or not is what nobody is aware of fight now.

“I really hope that everything remains as calm as it is this morning because yesterday was really hell in the school premises”.

Reports also have it that policemen with about 8 vans stormed the institution’s Yaba Campus yesterday to restore order to the school.

Rumours are now rife that the students are likely to engage in another round of gun battle tonight as some others have vowed to protest the commencement of their exams slated to start tomorrow.
Naij.com previously reported that, in anticipation of the Students’ Union government elections, the union of the school recently hosted some of the students of the institution in what could best be described as a feast.

One student who pleaded anonymity had this to say on the matter;

“Every year before a new set of excos arrive, the outgoing ones kill cow and cook rice for all students to enjoy themselves. This year was not an exemption as the students queued to get their portions and, it was really a sight to behold because of the way they were rushing for the food.”

In another development, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics may embark on another nationwide strike over the poor state of polytechnics in Nigeria.

@bold...

You can lie ooooooo

It was only one gun shot... I begin to imagine how one gun shot can lasted for 30minutes

I was inside yabatech last night when it all happened and it has the backup of the school security and the people in charge of electricity because all light inside the school went off even the ones that was powered with solar, Just less than 2 minutes we heard a gun shot.. Am sure the guy that was killed was deceived by a woman to the to the located he was shot dead.. (is like the guy still alive because some guys came to rescue him and took him to unknown location
