Hello Everyone,

I just got GA offer today. I requested for I-20 reflecting the funding and I have gotten the electronic copy. My school will resume on August 2nd. Is there any hope of getting an expedited appointment to meet up with the timeline?

Pefuele:


Sorry. Studying (F1 )VISA is discussed here.

jpseason:

I actually asked a question regarding this. Nobody replied at all. I’ve been following this thread for a long time .

Pefuele:


Is the August 2nd the earliest admission date,when classes start or the program start date( when Orientation starts)?

This was what i typed earlier



I’ve been following this thread for a while , my family isn’t in naija, I was supposed to finish sch 2020 (extra year ) but because of covid everything got rubbished . This year I collected my transcript in school (didn’t later finish the extra year) , I’m planning on using the transcript to continue once I travel. Someone I know did this same thing when he was in 300 level here and he continued his course in USA when he travelled.
What are my chances and what are the things I should do ? I don’t want to use a tourist visa, I know some of my mates that bought results to use to travel , claiming to go over there to do masters .
I don’t want to do that .
I just want to continue and grad over there

UAVdrones:
I got approved today.

ebbie9ja:
It is program start date. Start of Class is 11th.

Pefuele:


You can try Abuja since it looks they are opening slots in July for emergency. Is this your first attempt?

Pefuele:


Looks like you are about to finish why didn't you just finish that phase of life and start another?

Pefuele:


No course? Do you have a WES evaluation? Any standardized test?

ebbie9ja:
Please advise on the following for DS-160 completion:

1. Intended Length of Stay in U.S: For a master's degree, should this be 2 Years or the 3 Years maximum duration indicated on I-20?
2. Person/Entity Paying for Your Trip (Travel Information): Is this for travel expenses alone or tuition inclusive? If the later, please advise if the best option for student with GA? Self, Other Company/Organization or Employer in the US?

You won't have to pay another MRV fee if you only booked one interview date so far and have not rescheduled. I was also in the same situation; I had booked emergency appointment in Lagos but received no response even after 2 weeks. I was able to switch to Abuja with the same MRV fee and still book for emergency appointment. We get two bookings with each MRV fee.

ebbie9ja:
Yes.

Duisburg:

BSc Physics. I didn't have WES evaluation and I didn't write any test.

jpseason:

Trust me , nobody understands my decision more than me , I should have left since my second year but I struggled so much which wasn’t paying off and I was literally wasting my time . Major reason, I was uninterested from the start , terrible course , forced to do it by my former sch .

It’s not late for me . That’s why I want to do this right now and go . I’m sick and tired and it’s getting to me

Prexy1999:
Good day guys, is there anyone coming to Michigan this fall? If you’re coming you can reach out to me

Phaithy:

I also need clarification on this.
1-20 states 3 years maximum to finish program but the program is for two years. Should it be filled as 3 years on the DS 160 as it is on the 1-20?


Someone please advise.

Thank you

Mcquine:
Please I need urgent help.

Do I need to fill a new DS 160 form if am changing my application to Abuja?

Mcquine:


How did you switch to Abuja?

Did you fill another DS160 form?

Was the Emergency appointment approved?

I need urgent help please it's over two weeks for me no response from them

Pefuele:


You may go ahead. If you dnt get a favorable date write to your department about spring 2022 if they can keep the funded offer & you come in Spring2022. Best!

Moshkom:



1. The exact duration it states on your i20. You can convert to months and fill in, in your ds160.

2. The person, you would say it’s your sponsor during your interview, MUST CORRESPOND with what’s on your DS160 as Trip Sponsor and on your I20 as sponsor.

If the person name isn’t being State on your i20, then you’re good.

But TRIP SPONSOR === Sponsor Sponsor

ebbie9ja:
For the sponsors, I have GA from school (Full tuition waiver with stipend totalling 28k) but with a deficit of 12k (living expenses and other fees) which I propose to offset with personal funds. Should I then say it is self sponsored?

Approvalll:
Good day everyone my start date is on the 16th of august and I booked a regular appointment on the 16th august and my classes start on the 23rd of august I requested an emergency appointment at the Abuja embassy on Wednesday morning I sent a feedback to them on Thursday they said they will get back to me in 1 or 2 business days I’m still waiting is it possible for me to go for the interview on the 16th and travel to the US before classes start ?
