Niiade: Hello RickyRozay, Mandybaby2007, stevecrun, drzik, Amefrica, Walspring and other members of this thread,

A good friend just had his interview and has been granted his visa,
He has so many questions to get answered before leaving and he turned to my direction and i have come to my NL to get solutions for him
He is headed to SMSU, Minnesota for Business Administration, He was told school fees is about 8000 and Living expenses 7000, He looking to get cheaper accomodation, since he cant really afford that after school fees.
Please what does he need, any needed information and relevant information about flight, accomdation, school enviroment etc is very key. thank you

Idazbawz: of cos, it is... after the second deferment, he'll need to pay another application fee..
That's all

Graviton2:

1. The school refused instamental payments.
2. The school refused to defer the admission
3. They are insisting on the student arriving this fall or they will cancel the i-20 and not issue another.

There are three people facing this problem and I know them personally — they read this thread as guests, I'm also facing a similar dilemma so I took on myself to inquire. I've being open enough.

Walspring:

goldenchic: Can I use first bank atm or gtb bank atm in usa to withdraw dollars. Will it work? Leaving tonight frds. Urgent reply pls

Graviton2:

Well unfortunately for the witches, God is far more powerful and able to break whatever hold they might have. What's your take on the issue?

aanowai: Hello Imperiouxx, Hello house!!

I have been accepted and granted admission for my graduate study this Fall. I'm also made to understand that my admission letter and I-20 should be here in a couple of days.

My questions are:-

(1) Do I wait for the admission letter and I-20 to get here first, before proceeding to pay the SEVIS fee and Visa fee?

(2) If no, how do I proceed with paying the SEVIS fee through the help of a friend in the U.S? I have a friend who can help me pay with a Money Order, but what do I need to do from here and what does my friend need to do?

Thanks all..

Walspring:

I told you that on phone, am sure that will work perfectly without no delay at POE and homeland too

castrotroy80: Abeg gurus in the house, urgent advice needed
I lost my old international passport with expired south african visa and turkish visa on which i already filled on the ds160 form as my travel history. This was the passport i used to apply for admission, although the old passport will expire this month end, which made me applied the new one which i have with me now. I have an affidavit and a police report. My interview is nextweek
Do i need to notify the school?
Hope there wont be a problem if i go to the embassy with the new passport, affidavit and police report?

Another thing is my mum is co-sponsoring me, can i go with her personal bank statement which reflects the returns we make on my late Dads property, though the transaction and balance on the account is very huge instead of going with the company's account which the balance is lower.
Abeg make una advice me o as i no fit sleep they think of what to do

Graviton2:

There is a new development. Let me call you.

Walspring:

Okay.. waiting for the call

Graviton2:

Your airtel line is registering as "Switched off"

Walspring:


Congrats big boss.... I didnt post this here before i did that off thread... Wishing you a blissful stay in obamaland...

Walspring:

Sorry to ask, cant your friend connect to NL at all

Since he cant afford the fee, let him defer and hustle or source for money to get the fee or he should look for CC or UNI he will be able to pay.

He should contact Ricky for further assistance via pm

Walspring: Am back from the Future......

godG:

Ehen, tell us what we should expect from this Ebola wahala. And, will I ever be the VC of OAU?

osahons9:
