Thanks Slimmy05... So does it mean i should appear at the new school if given admission without even showing up at the old choice? Also, do i need to explain what transpired between me and my first choice school to the new school in a bid to get admitted? Cos someone was telling me that to avoid troble at the point of entry it would be wise if i do a semester in the old school which i dont even want to consider for security reasons.
This is my story in brief. I applied for Msc in school A and was given admission , paid sevis fees and got i20 but unfortunately the embassy put my case on administrative processing for over 10 months. Just recently i was granted my visa based on the choice made about 10 months back. However, within this period i have had a change of mind on the school, hence the decision to want to switch while keeping my head abive trouboe waters.
Thanks in anticipation.

I need urgent explicit answers from my good people please. I applied to Southern University At new Orleans and was admitted but visa delayed. Now my Visa has been issued after several months, however i have changed my mind on choice of school;

- Do I need to inform my potential school of the admission / process i already secured with the former school?
- If given admission by a new school, do i just resume straight and ignore the former school? Does this has any immigration implication?
- Please can anyone help with the list of cheap/affordable universities in Maryland and New york?

Thanks all in anticipation. Happy sunday.

Ask your school to defer your admission. When they do this, you will issued another i20 against fall. Mail your program director or the graduate school.

LUCAS99, where have you been? Your graduation is this December right? Let me know. Meanwhile I will be in Charlotte in December.
@Slimmy I just saw your post. I am fine. I am taking 15 credits this semester so I have been busy with assignments, quizzes, presentation and test. I rarely have time these days. Anyway my graduation was supposed to be this December but I have decided to wait until May 2016 since I am not yet ready to use my one year OPT so I will be taking classes next semester. Let me know the exact date in December you will be in Charlotte because I intend travelling back to Nigeria this Christmas for my sisters wedding. I am still waiting for my Advance Parole Document to arrive in the mail so I have not made any final plans yet. My final Exam ends on December 12th 2015. If I have my Advance Parole Document at hand by then I will travel by December 18th 2015 and then return on January 8th 2016 before the Spring Semester begins.

There are lesser chances for Msc than PhD. But Msc students still get funding.

Hello everyone, I'm new to Nairaland. I don't know if my question has been answered before because there r so many pages to sift through...I beg for someone to answer me. I'm confused about something; my brother; US citizen has applied for a masters program for me and he is the sponsor and his name is on my I20 as my sponsor. I want to know if this is going to be ok when I go for my visa interview and not reduce my chances since he's a citizen n they might think after my studies I won't wanna come back n rather stay back with him.
Thank u all for your help.

This is your case, just work on other home ties you can pull. Tell them the relevance of your program when you return to Nigeria. Emphasize on returning to Nigeria to take up a job, make the sector juicy and open.

Hello Nairalanders,
I need this wonderful house advice. I was offered an admission by a college in California (Butte College) and the resumption date is January 8th 2016. I've booked an interview for November 30th and I'm very sure I will get the Visa. My question is, if I don't travel before the resumption date on my I-20 Form, will it have any effect on me? Why I'm saying this is because of some financial hiccup militating against my travel.

2ndly, I need someone to help me to pay my SEVIS Fee pls.

Please every advice will be highly welcomed.
