Good evening guys... A friend of mine in the US helped me pay the SEVIS fee using the POSTAL MONEY ORDER since the 3rd of this month and it hasn't reflected till this moment.... My interview is in 2days time.. can I still go ahead with the interview or I should just cancel the appointment

Why couldn’t the friend use western Union that is faster? Without sevis payment receipt, you won’t be allowed for interview so you have to perform some magic to get it before your interview day.
In this era of scarce interview date, I don’t know how you will get another date before resumption

RAdedolapo:
Congratulations. How did you apply for your niece? What documents did you attach? I'm working on a similar visitor visa and would like to know, please.

I did not apply for her. I only followed up the application as a big Aunty 🙈 so I don’t know the documents they submitted. Maybe someone else on the group can help you

Yemilistic:

Good morning everyone.
Please is it compulsory that I submit my filled DS-160 before getting a date?
I already filled the form on CGI and I am awaiting an amendment to my I-20 which I will use in completing my DS-160.

CGI said it's reviewing my application since Wednesday last week, still waiting for their email.

Please, I need clarification. Thank you.

No, submitting DS-160 or not does not affect your interview date selection. You just have to submit the DS-160 at least 72hours before you go for your interview

angie88:
Congratulations oo. Remaining my daughter

Thank you. Abeg send them more emotional emails and webforms. Your daughter’s visa must come out this week

bmichael22:
Thanks so much for the response. My school insisted they don't re-issue I-20s after it has already been issued oh for reasons such as mine after so many back-and-forths.
They advised me to use a family member to support the loan amount

Which school is that? I-20 can be modified, they should stop doing shakara

inHisheart:
Ehh thank God oo... Congratulations🥳

Thank you

Artorius:
Thank you. I'm more concerned about if I have to travel abroad after my US visa is expired. Do I need to reapply for a new visa to gain entry though my i-20 is still valid i.e. my study program is not finished?

Yes. If your I-20 is still valid, you have to reapply for visa but might not attend interview by using drop box

Emmafe:
Congrats

Thank you

Ppr finally dropped for my 4years old niece today. I sent emotional webforms and emails every day using just her application number

Hello everyone!

my resumption date is August 24 but the embassy moved my interview date from July 5 to Sep 11th in March. I have been waiting on the school for my I20. I just received in now but i can't find the embassy interview login portal. Looked like the embassy has moved a few things around how how to login. I did password reset and it didn't go through as well.

Can Anyone help, please?

Another question i have is "for the amount to be stated in my bank statement, is it amount statement here x4 to cover the 2 years of study?

No, just that amount in account. Not x4 or x2

Nemerem1:
Please I need alittle assistance.

Do I need to make my sevis payment before I can book an expedited appointment in Nigeria for F1 VISA?

Yes

Ctemi:
Hello Brethren, My brother was denied last year for B1/B2 visa, under F1 visa application now, is he going to pick previously denied or regular to schedule interview appointment? His school resume in Aug and no interview date available. Your responds will greatly be appreciated.

The question was ‘were you rejected in the last 6 month?” If his last year rejection is more than 6months then he should answer no

AZzoe:
Hello guys,
Abeg who applied for EA recently, like last week, and has received the email from the embassy?

Thank you

They haven’t gotten back since last week thursday

Fulani14:
Good afternoon, first time here from Canadian travel thread, I was hoping to get information about applying for transit visa. Am looking to book flights with KLM as it is around my budget,and its route is through Amsterdam, then to Winnipeg. Am to leave September, I want to know if a transit visa is affordable and easy to get before sept and would it be worth it?
Thank you as you assist me

I would advise you book another route, USA won’t give you transit visa to Canada not to even mention the short time frame. You can pass through Egypt instead (e.g Lagos-Cairo-Toronto)

@angie88
IRCC finally released my son's PPR an hour ago, Thank God!  These guys can humble someone ehnnn😩

angie88:
Wot Abt ur sis own. Any update?

We used an agent so we don’t have any way to check her portal. Just praying it works out like yours

Angelic992:
Hey good day, try this webform: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Application/Form/76

I filled this one by 7:54AM the next morning I got a mail saying they are reviewing my file, 2 days later we got our PPR! Good luck and if it work tell me oo!!!

@angie88, did you try this web form for your kid? Maybe it would help

angie88:
Update:
My hubby received a mail dis morning that they have gotten the document we sent.
In her portal it's now showing document received. Fingers crossed
Note: this people act based on mails oo

Any update?

Teemahcandy:
yes i tried abuja as the location and i got a date, please do i need the sevis receipt before i can book an emergency request?

Yes

tocheksbaba:
Does one have to book a return ticket to enter the US (F1 visa) for PhD? Is it considered at the port of entry?

No. No student visa requires return ticket

BigJohn814:
Because it is a temporary residence visa, the Canadian Border Service Agent expects you to have a return flight ticket. It communicates your intent of returning after your stay.

Thank you

Is it required to show return flight ticket when going to Canada on visitor visa?

Lov410:
Hello house,

I received 15,000 scholarship

My uncle is my sponsor $56,000

Mpower loan of 49,000 ( personal funds)

SCHOOL- Cornell University ( Do I still mention Mpower at the visa interview as part of how I plan on funding

Course: Health informatics (1 year)

Currently a pharmacist

Guys please I need suggestions please 🙏

I would suggest you only mention your uncle with your funding

Dgabby01:
Good day everyone! Please if I submit my DS 160 and retrieve it by creating a new application... Will the vo have access to the other one I made a mistake in?

No, only the DS 160 on your appointment slip

logoscope:
I asked the same question, I wasn't given any reason. It's starting to become frustrating.

Which school? I haven’t heard of this scenario before

logoscope:
Good day everyone. It's been a really long time I visited nairaland. But of recent, the university I've been trying to apply to has rejected the two bank statements I submitted to them.

Anyone experiencing the same with schools they are trying to apply to in the US?

Thanks.

What was the reason for the rejection?

Mrfksb1:
your opinion not mine. If my Monika was /f/ do you think I won't get a reply?

Your moniker been male or female doesn’t determine response. What if people that have seen your questions don’t have answers and the right person hasn’t seen it? Learn to exercise patience. Nobody owes you an answer to your question. This is a just a forum to help each other not an obligation.

Mrfksb1:
you'll are very wicked here especially those that know the answer to my question since morning and refused to answer me.
I'm so disappointed with you people here.

Your entitlement spirit is outta the world🤣🤣

johnolusetire97:
I believe he paid by mailing a check. It arrived at their mail on saturday. I just need to know if I should wait for it to be confirmed before scheduling an appointment

You can book appointment even without paying sevis

johnolusetire97:
Good day, I paid for my SEVIS fee through a friend in the US just last week, the payment status isn't updated yet. Do i have to wait for the payment to be confirmed before scheduling visa appointment?

Western Union Payment doesn’t take days to reflect. Maximum of 2hours, your status will be updated to paid. Confirm from your friend on how he/she paid.
