gendebs, Nice if you get waiver on your application fee but nobody can waive your I-20. The more waivers you get- that involves money- the more you are telling the VO you can not afford the school or pay for anything, be careful. nnamdistan, US credit cards are OK. There are several reasons why those others means are not available now, they will in the near future let your friend do it. Good luck. shavel, community colleges have smaller classrooms and there is more one on one with the instructors and the tuition is often cheaper which gives you value for your money, another consideration is, many community colleges partner with four year colleges and most of your credits will transfer. |

nnamdistan if you read my last post I said someone here can pay your Sevis using "Western Union Quick Pay" check or money order. As long as you are a Nigerian student, you can't pay with a credit card no matter what - even if the person is in the US or using a credit card issued in the States. Once your SEVIS ID is entered into the online payment system it will automatically detect your identity and decline it. So the above are your only two options or better still go to the Seme place and diy. |

naggy: thanks for the tips naggy. please this question is directed specifically to you. i have a friend in the US who is willing to help me pay the SEVIS fee and it seems like the western union quick pay is a very good option. she's saying she has no idea how to go about it. in fact she said she has never heard of anything like SEVIS before(can u imagine?). shes nigerian but shes been there since she was like 10. please can you help me on how she ll be able to help me do it in the Us, waiting for your reply, thanks |

Can anyone over there in US help me send a money order or bank check of $90 to my prospective school in AR and i will pay the money to any of your trusted relations back here in nigeria. Why i am doing this is because my i-20 is been delayed due to the payment and i can't send them the money through Western Union or even bank transfer and the VISA debit card issued to me by UBA can't make int'l transaction. I PROMISE I WILL PAY YOU YOUR MONEY RIGHT HERE I MEAN IT. PLS YOU CAN CALL 08027277744 OR adexguy77@yahoo.com |
Re: General U.S.A (student) Visa Enquiries by myforumid3: 10:56am On Apr 22, 2011 |
@house, thanks for all your contributions. Its been quite informative. My texas-based school just replied me that my I-20 has been mailed off to me by regular post yesterday saying I should expect it in my P.O Box in 3-12weeks, For those who received their package(s) in the post office box, how long did it take from the time it was sent to when it was delivered to your post office box? Also, I am waiting for other USA school's decisions, Would I have any problem if I'm offered admission and I accept it, prompting the processing of another I-20? Can I start processing my visa appointment now with the already sent I-20 and what are the steps involved if yes? Pls your contributions and advice are needed? Thanks |

Naggy, thank you very much for being there for us newbies. Deezy, although your question is directed specifically to naggy, I did some research and stumbled on this website that I think explains the process. Here is the link: http://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/wu_fm_inter.htm and then there is a pdf version of the instructions here: http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/wu_fm_inter.pdf Guys, I have a problem. I am on full scholarship to attend my college. However, I keep hearing about bank statement and evidence of ties to home country. My parents have neither land, nor landed property nor fat bank accounts. Will that be a problem for me? |

[b][/b] God's clock may appear slow,but its never late.His answer may not be instant but it's ever constant.May d Almighty God see me and my well wishers thru in life and make all our dreams to be manifested on dis day IJN. I was denied a visa in Abuja Embassy yesterday just because I didnt tell the VO the meaning of Standard Deviation.I never planned for that kind of question. I will surely re apply again but its gonna be in Lagos because i cant stand the stress I passed thru in Abuja. What is the Chance of getting it rite dis time in Lagos? Will I have to pay for another SEVIS fee How do I go about it,pls. THIS IS JUST MORE ANOTHER WAY TO THANK GOD AT THE END OF THE DAY.SO USE MY FAILURE TO CORRECT URSELF AND BRING THE VISA TO THE HOUSE. LOVE U ALL |

Hey Visuals. We all hope you have success soon. Please, if you don't mind, how did the question about standard deviation come up? Did he ask you about your intended major? I am curious o, abeg. |
Re: General U.S.A (student) Visa Enquiries by priestjp(m): 5:25pm On Apr 24, 2011 |
if you want to pay your sevis fee, you can go to kaduna instead of travelling to Benin, asked for hephziba, he will write you a check of $200.Take the check and post it using Fedex .That was what I used and it worked.I am in the usa now. you can check hepzibah website at http://www.hephzibahng.com/About%20us.htm or call Joy on 08068564289. |

Re: General U.S.A (student) Visa Enquiries by dizyfrenzy(m): 7:45pm On Apr 24, 2011 |
hey everyone, to everyone whos been contributing to this thread, God bless you. heres a thought i have been having, When you go for visa training and all, they ll tell you to smile at the VO and look straight into his eyes, the part about looking at him when hes talking to you is okay cos thats shows attentiveness and confidence but the part about keeping a smile on your face throughout the duration of the interview, i think thats a little off. one thing thats certain is that the VO's have a lot of experience. they know that people would do anything to get a visa. so i dont think keeping a smile (false and fake) on your face throughout the interview would sway the VO. i would suggest you greet with a smile, and if the VO answers your greeting, then that means things are looking good, after greeting, be attentive and put your game face on. the VO would not deny u a visa because youre not smiling at him, am sure of that. be courteous, confident(but watch it so that your confidence doesnt look like arrogance), and dont be afraid to be informal with the V.O God will do the rest Thanks |
