zeezahbee:I am currently in the United States but I want to travel back to Nigeria during the summer for urgent reasons so I asked my cousin to submit my F-1 Student Visa Renewal application together with my International passport and Endorsed, valid I-20 to the U. S. Consulate General Lagos, Nigeria since my current visa expired less than one year ago. |

OjaP:I was planning to file for an advance parole document but however a friend of mine explained the likely scenarios to me so I was kinda confused Scenario 1 If I file and receive an advance parole document prior to departure from the United States. During reentry I will be paroled into the United States as an applicant for adjustment of status. As a result my F-1 student status will be automatically terminated. If that happens that means I will not be able to continue attending school until my Form I-130 is approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). But the problem here is that I still want to continue attending school since I will be graduating this year. Scenario 2 If I Depart the United States without an advance parole to attend my nonimmigrant visa interview if my F-1 student visa is approved during reentry I may be denied entry into the United States by the POE officials on the basis of a pending I-130 immigrant petition filed on my behalf. He stated that since an F-1 visa was not a “dual intent” visa as a result under the dual intent status, the USCIS Officer at the border might deny me entry into the United States based on my pending Form 1-130 (intent to immigrate) Please can you shed more light on the above scenarios and verify if the information outlined above is accurate. |

imperiouxx:Yes I am still in the United States and I meet all the requirements for an interview waiver that was the reason I applied for an F-1 Student Visa Renewal application through the DropBox Visa Renewal Program.The reason I applied for a renewal is because I have an urgent humanitarian situation that require my presence back in Nigeria. |

biikeys:if you leave a line up to six months without recharge, the line will be disconnected and recycled. You would have dropped it with a bro or sis who will always recharge the line for you every 3-4months, or you can activate extended sim validity, it would allow your line to be inactive for a year till you recharge. 1 Like |

ferdimako:funding will be the motivating factor as well as PR and off campus work authorization. I am sure to read the success story soon. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by Nobody: 8:23pm On Jan 08, 2015 |
LUCAS99:The chances have been outlined, your passport is presently with the embassy. The chances are slim for your return or visa renewal. The best bet is to look for a way to take care of the humanitarian visit without your presence. I think its up to you to decide. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by OjaP: 8:42pm On Jan 08, 2015 |
LUCAS99: Scenario 1 - You can not file an advanced parole with your present status. You can only file advanced parole if you have a pending I-485. I guess I don't need to go further on this since you don't even qualify to. Scenario 2 - A more likely scenario. |

slimmy05: That's even a long process. I use my MTN line here in the US and recharge my line as if I were still home. I have a separate phone I put my MTN sim card into, I receive service here. MTN partners with AT&T/T-Mobile to offer international roaming services, so either AT&T shows up on my phone or T-mobile does. I check my balance using the usual *556#, receive texts (free), send texts (N50 per text) only when necessary because international texting with my US line is free, and sparingly make calls with my line (N300 to make a call, N100 to receive, all per minute). I simply recharge my line using the GTB online banking platform free of charge. 4 Likes |

slimmy05: No, you don't need to except if carrying unusually large amounts/bottles of drugs, then you'll need a prescription for them. |

Horayce: 1) I guess our campus situations and conditions are different. Dorms (+meal plan) in my campus are expensive, and there are lots of cheaper housing options off campus, thus saving you about $3,000 to $5,000. Room in a house is usually the cheapest. Several on-campus dorms cost between $7,000 to $9,000 per annum whereas with an off-campus house of $400 only you pay $4,800 per year, and with average utilities per person running at about $60 - $80 per month, you wouldn't expect to pay more than $800 per year, the amount of which depends on the usage of utilities. The less energy, water, light, gas you use the lesser the utilities you pay. Some rents come with utilities included in them, hence you don't need to pay extra in utilities. For less costlier states in the south, rooms in a house go for as cheap as $300, with utils included, i.e only $3,600 per year. In much costlier states, expect $400 - $600 per month. 2) Loads of off-campus houses are very close to campus, within walking distances and along the school bus routes/stops. In this sense, it doesn't feel any different from on-campus living. Personally, I and many people I know would prefer off-campus housing any day anytime to on-campus dorms. Dorms might make more sense, which actually does, for freshmen and undergraduates because college time is the best time to make long-lasting friends and network with people. The importance of networking in this country can never be underestimated. Many jobs in the US are advertised by word of mouth. Research shows that about 70% of jobs are filled by referrals (i.e. word of mouth, i.e. a position becomes vacant in a's company who refers b, his friend who needs a job, and b gets the job) before they make it to the advertorial section of the newspaper. 1 Like |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by Nobody: 9:33pm On Jan 08, 2015 |
bigfrancis21:You're right on point. The dude bought for friends as well. Bought 2packs of Ampiclox and amoxil, ampicillin and flagyl, that's much truly. I wil get a little. |

LUCAS99: I'd say your case is quite unprecedented to me. If I were you, at this point, I'd call the embassy from here, speaking to them directly, telling them I'm still in US, telling them of my non-immigrant + pending immigrant visa status, that I can't currently come in to the embassy in Nigeria since they are having my international passport, except they are willing to release my passport back to me, asking about the possibility of exploring other options other than coming in physically (i.e. what else can be done to get the issue resolved), and if they insist I come in physically, the likely visa decision outcome(s). This is something you really need to discuss with them on phone and at length. They'll figure out something out for you. Remember, your pending immigrant case is never a reason to deny your non-immigrant visa. People have been granted non-immigrant visas to the US even with a pending immigrant visa petition. 1 Like |
