Hi everyone, please is it possible to get one's passport back the next day after visa approval in Abuja? I mean like interviewing on Thursday and getting it the passport on Friday.
I'm asking coz I will be having my interview in Abuja though I stay in Lagos. I'm considering using Abuja as pickup location so I will just wait behind to collect the passport instead of leaving immediately and waiting for them to send it to Lagos. Please has anyone done this? Kindly share your experience. Thank you.

Thank you all for your kind wishes!

Congrats. I was also at the embassy today..
Pls whats the status of your visa on ceac website, I was approved but I'm seeing administrative processing... Is this normal?

Duisburg:

You have an option of seeing their letters. While filling the application form, you've got two options: waive the receipt of the letters or accept copies when received by the graduate office. Most applicants, including me, are chose waive. That way, the school would see you as you trusting your recommenders.

Erudite77:


Thanks a lot for your attention, bro.

Would you mind linking up with you?

Erudite77:


Do you think I should tell them to submit the letters same day I submit other documents?

chuksmanred:

Avoid turkey, britain and other european countries. I no go deaf when the VO was telling me that. Ya turkish airlines are cheaper but they are on US red list.

Muleriders:


Yes it is legal but could be stressful and fun at the same time.

Duisburg:

Doesn't matter. You have got to give them time to write something admission-worthy for you.

My flight will be connecting Boston from schipol airport, Netherlands, Am I in trouble? Please Answer o

tunapawizzy:

I dont think so, but confirm what's required of you to pass through Netherlands coming from Nigeria(check with the official website of d airport). Also confirm what's required of you to enter the US (1)coming from Nigeria (2) having passed through Netherlands. These information are generally based on where u are coming from, so check appropriately.

Kassidy4luv:

Powerpaul:

My class start date and program start date is 23rd August while available dates is from 30th August till September. Is it possible to get an earlier date in August before 23rd while I wait using the 3days grace to reschedule.

I need a opinions. �
Thanks.

Kennykayy:
Guys, please how do one edit sevis fee receipt on cgif profile page after booking an appointment?

Erudite77:
Good afternoon, everyone.

Trust you're doing fine.

Is there anyone here who's applied to Western Illinois University? I have some questions to ask, I've asked the grad school but no reply yet.

My question borders on the LOR. The information on the website says:

"Three confidential letters of recommendation sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies by their recommenders."

Going by the above message in quotation marks, take note of the word "confidential", it means that my recommenders will write the letters and forward it to the mail of School Grad. Studies".

I would like to hear from anyone who has applied to the school.

Please reply as soon as you can. I'll appreciate your reply.

Thanks in anticipation.

On my DS 160, where it was asked if i had travelled before in the last 5years, I said No. During the interview, the VO asked if i have travelled before - He didnt mention 5yrs, so i said YES.
