Hello everyone. I recently got an i20 to study in the USA (Fall admission 2018). I paid my SEVIS today through guy on nairaland who helped me (without the Seme border hassle). However on my i20 it says "Early admission date" is July 15th and "Lessons begin on" August 23. When can I apply for the visa? And when am I supposed to travel if given a visa? I really need help on this subject. Gurus and those who are currently in the USA, I need your guide on this. I've got all my documents ready for the visa application.

PS: I created this topic because no one has really dealt with this issue on nairaland. Please help guys!!!

considering the 120 days rule. anytime from May will be apt to hit the embassy or consulate, as for earliest travel date it's stated on your I20. best wishes

Hello , i want to ask experts on a transfer issue... I have started a masters program in the states but i want to transfer to a college. I feel i need to change my major so i need to start my undergrad degree again and i dont mind doing that because i know its the best for me to do. I have an intention of applying for an associate degree in my desire course at another college.
Here are my questions..
1) I dont want my first semester credit to count for me as a transfer student in the new school i intend transferring to... is it possible for my present school not to transfer my first semester credit but just only my SEVIS record to my new school?

2) Will i be required to pay my first semester tuition in my present school before i transfer... even though i dont need their credit ??

Please tell us how you sorted the missing pass port issue so we can be enlightened on that

if you are already in the U.S.. Then the best person to respond to these question is the school. They would best guide you on the school policy

oh lol .. my bad ..about the missing passport .. it was later recovered by the police after around three days after they made some search...but before it was recovered, i went to immigration office to apply for an emergency passport which came out within 2 hours( i know you will be wondering how that was possible, MONEY is the answer oo) After i got the new passport, then i recieved a call from the police that they found my bag with the boiz i suspected(long story sha...) i was even surprised cos i never had trust in the police (they sha collected money released my bad and my passport to me)..I was now having two passports, old one containing my visa and the Fresh new one...So i did a lot research about having two passports..(one valid and one invalid)..I read that its possible to travel with two passports, but one must be invalid in most cases EXPIRED but still has valid visa on, then the other one must be Valid to hold arrival and departure stamps. But in my own case , my passport was not expired, it was stolen. So i went to the immigration office and asked for orientation. The immigration officer i met said i shouldnt bother myself that its still the same process that i will still need to travel with the two passport but they will need to put a '' CANCEL WITHOUT PREJUDICE'' on the vacant pages of my old passport to show that its been cancelled but still contains my Valid Visa and said , if i am questioned at the POE why i am having an unexpired but cancelled passport, i should explain to them the it was stolen but found other wise known as ''Lost but Found'..and also to travel with police report document and affidavit i used to get a new passport to prove that it was lost but found. He further explained to me that a passport is country A's property while a VISA is country B's property. Country A doesnt have the right to cancel another country's Visa on its passport while country B doesn't have the right to cancel country A's passport vice versa. But my mind wasnt still at rest dou (lol).. so when i got home , i mailed the embassey and explain the whole issue in my mail and i got a short reply from them saying...*AS FAR AS YOUR VISA IS STILL VALID ON YOUR OLD PASSPORT AND YOU HAVE A NEW PASSPORT THAT COVERS ATLEAST 6 MONTHS STAY IN THE USA, YOU MAY TRAVEL WITH BOTH PASSPORT*........ so, meaning the immigration officer was right...Na so i carry my bag oo. I didnt even encounter any question about it at the POE ..INFORMATION IS POWER

demiiii:
@ LAGOSISMYHOME Thanks for responding. I really appreciate, I will go ahead and read the page given. Thanks once again.

Also I stated that I didn't mention in any of the schools application form that I will be leaving with my family.
Will that not be against me if I apply WITH MY FAMILY immediately I get the I20.
JUST ASKING, NEED TO BE SURE OF WHAT AND HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

Hello Demiiii

I sent you a PM kindly respond. Thanks

Same to u honey

I've got awesome insights from this thread.
These questions below borders on Sponsor
Your sponsor relationship influences whether you'll get visa or not. Right? My sponsor is my uncle who does not bear same family name with me.
Will that be harmful to my F-1 visa prospects?
They prefer family fund to fund from someone whom they are not sure your relationship with.
My sponsor is my uncle and doesn't bear same surname with me.
Will that hamper my chances?

Hello everyone ,i really don’t know how things go here ,a friend of mine advised me to seek for help on here ,I am an electrcial graduate with second class upper ,had 303 in my gre. Can anyone advice me on which schools to apply for and how to go about it ? Thanks

Okay great.. i sent you a PM kindly reply or email me chines2020@yahoo.com

i think for the first time, i will have to agree that this country is a shit-hole. Nigerian universities are so annoying and can frustrate the living hell out of you. most times , i wonder why students are getting first class like biscuit in USA and UK, but in Nigeria, its a matter of war.

my story.......
after four years of hard labour and stress in a Nigerian university, my transcript was 2.88/5.0 ( second class lower who managed to escape a third class) see first picture.

now, my WES evaluated transcript was released today after several months of battling with my school to send my transcript. my evaluation on WES came out to be
2.93/4.0 (see picture B)


can you imagine, its even greater than the miserable grade my Nigerian undergraduate program gave me,

i was not expecting up to 2.5 /4.0 and my hope has been tied on conditional admission in a tier 4 USA school before now.
but now, i am just wowed and amazed, now i can flex and checkout on good schools.



my advice to everyone on Average CGPA of 2.5/5.0 (second class lower) from a Nigerian university, don't loose hope, research for schools who required WES evaluation, don't hesitate to sacrifice the WES evaluation fee, i just believed there is hope for you.


now , let me take time to research Good schools.....

Good day everyone ,I ve been following this thread silently for a very long time and I have learnt alot...but to my issue...im almost through with my youth service but I graduated with 2.78 G.P in child development and family studies .I have decided to further my education (MSC) in US or CANADA...these are my questions...
1.should I sit for GRE and TOEFL or GRE alone.
2.is it neccessary for me to send my transcript to WES.
3.what are my chances of being granted VISA
4.which one will be easier in terms of finances and being granted visa... USA or CANADA??
I will appreciate your response ...thank you in anticipation.
Pls experts and experienced people in the house .help a brother...please reply

Does taking time to send my application fee, affect me getting a 1-20 from the university?
