Alright and have you generated the coupon number? I have replied your PM or DM

Good morning all. I got Admission for Spring 2023.

Please, if one applies for US Visa now, when is the interview date likely to be scheduled? I heard it takes time sometimes.

And between Abuja and Lagos, which is better?

Favourlade22:
Hi please how can I get the groups for new interview dates? My venue is Abuja. Thanks

Good day. Please, when did you apply for your visa?

Shannon70:


So questions like this are hard to answer. While there are three things the applicant needs to demonstrate, they are ultimately subjective. (1) Bona fide student; (2) ability to pay; (3) present intent to return to Nigeria. Young people are assumed to have weak ties - therefore one and two need to strong.

When it comes to funding - noting that the school required evidence of ability to pay is better than merely moving money around. What has changed usually needs to be that you did not adequately explain X.

Good day Shannon, I have seen all your work on this thread, thumbs up.

Please, can I apply for visa before paying my sevis fee?

You can - but it complicates matters.

First the Consular Officer may well decide that you are not a bona fide student, that you have waited because you are hedging your bets. What if you are denied? The note from a refusals will say "SEVIS not paid" - so if you want to try again you'll want to pay before hand so you won't get the same refusal note. So now you have spent $160 for a second interview that might have been avoided.

If they do want to approve you they will refuse you 221(g) and then give you instructions on sending your passport in with the SEVIS receipt. So now, besides the delay, you are asking the officer to look at their decision again. Where they on the fence? Now you asking them to take. second look at your application and you are not even there to answer a question. Is that what you want?

I am lost. i thought the Sevis fee was paid after visa application/ before interview date?

You should. I read your question as "can I submit my DS160 and have an interview before I pay my sevis fee."

The systems are not tied together - so there is no forcing function.

Dear Shannon70,

There is nominal guidance, but it really is up to the individual consular section, and the person making the decisions that day. I have no insight to offer.

Please I'd like to know how to pay for graduate school application fee, with the restrictions on dollar payment please how do you guys go about it. Also I want to publish a paper I'm finding it hard to pay for the publication fee using PayPal cus of restrictions on naira cards PLS help with suggestions.
