UNIXLover: Oh no, you need to contact your international student office informing them of the previous SEVIS number you were given and how you've paid your SEVIS fee with it. They will issue you another I-20 with the old SEVIS ID. This may take another 1 month to process and have them mail it to you. Or else, you would have to pay another $200 SEVIS fee. Did your school make you pay for courier services to mail your current I-20 to you? If yes, they may make you pay for the corrected one with the old SEVIS ID to be sent to you. If so, you might as well just go ahead and pay another $200 using the new SEVIS ID. Update: or you can try contacting DHS to transfer your $200 payment from the old sevis I'd to the new one. 1 Like |

brightify: It is $200 and whatever the current exchange rate is, you multiply by that to get your equivalent in Naira. Using N320, the equivalent in naira would be N64,000 flat fee. Someone just posted recently about paying at Seme border Benin republic and paid N70g in total, including bank processing fees. The cheaper option would be to have someone in the US pay for you on your behalf. 2 Likes |

bigfrancis21:He can update his SEVIS record, I dont think he needs to pay another sevis fee even with change of sevis ID. I know innovativeame faced the same issue after deferring his admission. Try and email DHS/FMJfee, they would assist you with it. CC UNIXlover. I'll try and contact him to see how he did his and would get back to you. I just spoke to him now, he said you should call them and tell them about the change and it would be resolved 1 Like |

bbdd: Bbdd, why r u so passionate about 'staying back in America'? Yes, America is a very good country but she has her own issues. I don't think it is right to put people down because they would consider coming back to Nigeria after their studies. It's just unfair. What even makes you feel you will NEVER come back to Nigeria? You don't know the future. What if you are struggling to get a good job in America and suddenly a good opportunity turns up for you in Nigeria? I have so many friends and colleagues who came back from America to work for multinational coys in Nigeria and doing very well. Being smart does not guarantee a good job anywhere including Nigeria and America. There are a million and one smart pharmacists, you know... Anyway, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion. Not nice to be judgemental. We don't know where individual future lies. If you really want to remain in America, I really wish you the best but just know that remaining in America may not be the best decision for some other person. |

Team16: I am fine, Team16. How are you? So I was unable to secure a Supv in Alberta even though I passed the application review. None was willing to take on my course, though they claim it's one of their research areas - said they were rather focusing on oil sands and I was not willing to change to that. So focusing on UK and US for next fall. Wish you all the best! |

My mentions is a mess! Just read up all that happened!. Anyway @Fortissimo just ignore whatever was said at you. You posted a link & said a few things and the guy and lady commented. Just realize its their own opinion, they are entitled to it, not the first time such stuff is happening on here and wont be the last, so just ignore. The thing is one doesn't have to be in the US first before they make up their mind on what they want to achieve i.e staying back/not inclusive. ''Its not about going there first''. I always run the race of life with this saying from Bishop Oyedepo, ''You dont plan during marriage, you plan before marriage'', ''20 children dont play for 20 years''. All of us on this thread, US-bound might not end up staying legally in the US after studies, some will go back to Nigeria. From observations and experiences (NYSC inclusive), I found out most folks who studied abroad and came back to Nigeria are employed and doing well. example, the family I stayed with during Nysc, the man (Civil Engineer) collects N10m (after Tax) monthly from shell after he did his msc. The key is networking & God's favour. I feel you bro!. I dot know you but the way you take your time to answer folks on here & ask questions (both relevant & irrelevant..lol) makes the thread litt! I remember when you first mentioned you were going to Mississippi and I was like naah that place aint cool, then that guy was like Me wey neva go Mississippi abi enter America..Lol etc. But no need calling out anyone on here or proving status, the best we can do collectively as Nigerians is to support each other and heated exchanges are bound to happen!. So make I join mouth to beg you not to go off this thread!. Have a nice week guys! P.S: All those J.K Rowling folks that will bash my punctuations, you are free to munch on this! 4 Likes |

angel34real:Thank you very much. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your response. slimmy2005:I understand slimmy2005, pls take it easy with me even if it seems I'm taking too long to understand how these things work. The thing is, I've got assurances of GA positions from a few professors but we have not discussed the terms of the employment. I need enough info to weigh my odds as I believe the only thing better than being informed is being more informed. Thanks for your contribution. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mekurexx:Who he epp? after 10M lol.. So the simple fact that was stated actually led to all this back and forth? The truth there is; travel first and decide rather than conclude. If you think having a masters degree is automatic employment, then you are getting it wrongly. I can personally invite 4 friends who came back after lavishing River State (RSSDA) scholarship to UK and Malaysia. They came back after studies thinking foreign masters degree equals automatic employment. I accommodated one while working in Rivers state and I knew how hard it was for him to get a job. The truth of the matter is, it is not easy to leave from square 3 in Nigeria come to US starting from square 1 and after studies get some OPT employment with benefits and would decide to go back to Nigeria and start from square 1. Personally, I would return to Nigeria, if only there is job that would pay me commensurate or more than I earn here. 5 Likes |
