I thank God and all Nairalanders here on this tread. more power to your elbow.
In my own experience, I think the only key factor in getting a visa is GOD.
All those expecting theirs should look up to God abd have courage

Good morning guys, I have been given an I-20 (MBA) and was waived from submitting GMAT scores. I want to know if it's compulsory for me to do the GMAT exam before going to the embassy.
2. The school resumes August, all information for payment of sevis have been forwarded to me. Just expecting the hard copy of the I-20. Can I still meet up at the embassy given the nearness to resumption.
Thanks
