ColdHunter:
Can someone please explain this In-state and Out-of-state tuition thing. As an international student if I get admission to say University of Virginia and decide to live in Virginia, do I qualify for in-state tuition?

I ask because I noticed that the focus is on "State of Residence " and not origin.

NewBoyKhashoggi:



Hey 🤠

You have to be a prior (Permanent) resident in any state in the USA to qualify for in-state tuition OR you were a permanent resident in one state and transferred your studentship to another state ..then you can qualify for the in-state tuition of that state .

IN SUMMARY.... In - state tuition is liken to NIGERIA STATE OF ORIGIN ...ie a Sokoto indigen applying to Uthman Dan Fodio University will pay lesser school fees than a student coming from Lagos.

Back to USA... A Nigerian does not have to be born in America to qualify for in-state tuition but he or she must have graduated from a US HIGH SCHOOL and lived in that state after graduation for like 1 to 2 years .

In -state tuition is a subsidized tuition ...you pay lesser fees than others . Out -of -state is a normal school fees for ALL AMERICANS who comes from different states .

International student like you without any form of scholarship might even pay more school fees than Out-of -state students . Therefore, IN AND OUT-OF STATE TUITION DOES NOT CONCERN AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT .

Therefore, focus on every information directed
to international Student Applicants..

Hey 🤠

I want to think that the payer bought a US drawn check or coupon worth of $350 and send it via ORDINARY MAIL (USPS) to SEVIS office . He should have even used EXPRESS DELIVERY .

In the future , try to persuade the payer to use WESTERN UNION ONLY because western union payment is almost instantaneous .

Your SEVIS payment coupon should deliver next week Tuesday (just guessing ) and it can even take SEVIS another 2 to 3 days to input your payment in their record .

Call or email SEVIS by next week Thursday , they will tell you if your record has been filed . Did the payer not snap anything like payment slip or the coupon to you before he or she dispatch it ?


Best wishes 🙏

Yes. I have pictures of the coupon and also able to track the package. Since last week it’s not been delivered. My main issue now is how to proceed to get a date for spring giving that I don’t have the sevis yet and I need to apply for an EA asap.

cleancars247:
Hello all,

Please I mistakenly clicked on the reschedule button for an interview coming up on the 21st of this month. I later received an email that the request had been approved but when I logged on till this minute the date was still as scheduled. Do I need to be worried?

Hey 🤠

Congrats on the arrival of your Form I 20 , it's worth celebration but you have to face the 2nd phase with CARE .

Cool down and follow the following guidelines..Do not let anyone or your friends rush you into HASTY DECISIONS.

1) . Go and pay your MRV (visa fee) at any GTBank right away .

2). Go and pay your SEVIS fee . The best way to pay is via WESTERN UNION from the USA or Cotonou (Republic of Benin) ...Talk to your friends or families who are in the US to pay it on your behalf or find someone to go to Cotonou for you .

3). Those 2 places are the best places to pay SEVIS fee . Any other avenue can cost you more money and you have to be VERY CAREFUL because of SCAMMERS.

4). Open a CGI profile if you are a first timer .

5). The payment of your MRV as well as your SEVIS fee will stand as the ladder which you will climb to book your visa interview appointment as well as your emergency appointment. GO AND WORK ON BOTH PAYMENT and get back to us .



Best Wishes 🙏

I am super happy, this group helped me to achieve success in my B1/B2 Via application.

MAKE THIS A THREAD ?

I applied for the visa in March 2021, and my interview was set for March of 2022. Few days to my interview date i got an email that my interview has been brought forward. This meant that i had to pick another date for interview.

The reason why my interview was brought forward was because of the Ukraine/Russian Conflict and they were only catering to medical, emergency or student Visa submissions. On opening the interview date portal, the next date was November 22nd and i picked it.

I had 2 whole years to prepare for this interview, and during this time i would speak with my friends and people generally to try and know their experience at the intervew centres,and also read peoples experiences from Nairaland as well. I was very much prepared and had the conviction that i will emerge successful.

I arrived in Abuja few days to my interview, printed all my documents, and here are the few important things i did :

- Updated my appointment confirmation form as i had previously renewed my passport so for my new passport number to reflect on my form
- Took US specified passport photographs and stapled to my DS-160 confirmation form
- The documents i printed out where specified to the storyline in my application. I am a buisness owner who is self sponsoring my trip and does not know anyone in the US and in that regards, this are the list of documents i printed.
- Introduction Letter as CEO of my company
- Company bank statement
- Flight/hotel reservation
- Appointment Confirmation
- Proof of Visa payment
- Confirmation of Application

To be continued ....

Hey 🤠

But your F1 visa was approved last year ..June 2022 to attend Idaho State University on fully funded PhD in pharmaceutical sciences ?

You also wrote in your post that the VO said to you before approving your visa that ; Oh ! I can see you also have a fully funded PhD at Southern Illinois University ?

That means you are currently studying in the USA as a fully funded PhD student in 2 Universities 😊


1. How come you are asking about the NDDC scholarship here in 2023 ... Are you coming back to Nigeria for the interview ?

2. Are you an indigene of Niger Delta ? Even if yes ...NDDC scholarship does not include pharmaceutical sciences as one of their sponsored courses of study on undergraduate levels.

3. IF YOUR QUESTIONS IS GENUINE..then you don't need anyone in the USA to teach you possible questions and answers... GO AS A BONAFIDE NIGER DELTA INDIGENE and speak naturally. The questions they asked Sunday Edosio will be different to the one they will ask Ejomafuvwe.


4. FINALLY ... For you as a PhD applicant to be crown with a Doctorate of philosophy (PhD) ..you will sit down in front of many professors who will bombard you with academic questions that is 100 times harder than the questions they will ask you at NDDC. Therefore, go and speak for yourself.




Best Wishes 🙏

I was denied visa last year twice, maybe the transcript you read was for someone else, the first time it was my sister in the USA that was sponsoring me, and the second it was my husband but now I got the nddc scholarship

Hey 🤠

If you are referring to F1 visa then the best form of evidence of funds are ;

1. Bank statement (of the sponsor OR of yourself if self sponsored).

2. Scholarship Award letter (ie from government, church , mosque, humanitarian org , etc).

There are others but the two (2) mentioned above are the most expected by the embassy. You can use any one out of the 2 (6 Months Bank statement) .

PS: Evidence to show you have being working are ; 1. Employment offer letter. 2 Valid id card you have being using . 3 Payment Slip. 4. Away for study permission letter from your employer etc.
