Hey house

Please I really would like to know the contents of an I-20. I intend using a different SOA to obtain I-20 from the school but would be going for interview with another SOA. I really wanna find out if I-20 wouldn't carry the account holder's details.

Thanks in advance for the swift response.

Depending on the exact day of your next interview

If it between 365 days from the day in May you paid your SEVIS then you are covered and dont need to pay again..... if it more than 365 yes you need to pay another .

The payment valid for one year

Please is it days they count or months or year?

Hello guys please is it true that visa interview dates are occupied till August so it's impossible to get an interview till August??

That's for B1/B2 (tourist) visa

Good evening all, please I need help. I applied to university of Texas in Tyler for a masters in public health. I am a nurse. Unknown to me, they need TOEFL and I have already made payments. Please can I get schools that do not need an English proficiency and is international friendly.Secondly I am thinking of using an agent this time. Can someone please recommend a good agent that resides in Lagos. Thank you.

Hey, look you can get into a masters program even with that CGPA. I was waiting to be done with everything before posting my story.
My undergraduate CGPA was 2.7/5, Geophysics.
2.8/4 - transcript evaluation.
That didn't stop me. I applied for fall 2017 and got back to back rejects. Just an admit from one but couldn't attend due to lack of funds.
I sat for the GRE but my score wasn't stellar either. 295...Quant 151. I didn't mind.
I applied to 9 universities this fall. 4 rejects, 5 admits with some sort of funding in some.
Everything is about packaging and knowing what you want.
Your Statement of Purpose, Recommendation letters, Resume should all be on point. And a drive to succeed on your intended course of study. E.g...if it's Geosciences or CS, what are the computer applications you can use that can make you valuable in that field. What courses have you gotten yourself trained in to make your CV attractive?.
The God factor and several other factors.
I make use of Yocket, Quora and gradcafe a lot.
Especially Yocket because there you'll get school reviews and find and connect with so many Indians with similar profiles or even lesser and you'll also be able to channel your choice of schools according to your profile.
Don't ever think you can't get into grad school with a 2.7 CGPA.
Make the internet and search box engine your friend today.
Good luck.

Thanks nitta am really calm now after reading this, and I will work towards that now.. thanks for the info.

Alright, Maybe the school you applied to did internal evaluation with your transcript to have offer you such

Yes that is Eze toy what they did, they actually evaluated my transcript.. but the truth is I truly love that course and would like to study it. But don’t know if it going to be a red flag to the visa officer, as they might be thinking I have a degree before.

If the appointment at the embassy is written as 6.30 could it am or pm.. Pls Help in the house

1. Most schools require proof of English proficiency for graduate degree and it's in your best interest to cover that part. Is it too late to correct that, as in admission window? You have already made payments for what? You can get a conditional admission, while you go ahead with TOEFL and you'll be fine. You could be asked if you took any tests during your visa interview and seen as an unserious student or unfit to succeed in Grad school.

2. Stay away from agents. While there are a few good ones who get it right in the end, there's nothing an agent is gonna do for you that you can't do for yourself (except add documents/stories to your application that could put you in trouble - again, you can still do this yourself).

My advice would be: get TOEFL sorted. You'll be glad you did.

The i20 is going to have the name of your sponsor and the amount required (tuition and expenses). While going with a different SOA for the interview is not the end of the world (you may get lucky and not get asked who's sponsoring or be required to show any SOA), it's better to avoid such situations that can really mess up your chance. Is it a risk you're willing to take?

You really don't want those problems, better to avoid them and not complicate matters. Remember the burden is on an applicant to prove to a VO that everything's clean, no shady deals or ulterior motives.

May I ask why you don't wanna use the same SOA you're taking to your interview to secure your admission?

I hope this helps.

365 been if you did Sevis on May 1st 2018 it will expire April 31st 2019 . ......so calculate it like that. Check when you paid , subtract one day and change the year to d date . That the expiry date when your next interview must take place before or you pay again

Yeah
Thanks very much for this. I'm expecting SOA (which bears same surname with me) but the one I have currently doesn't have same surname. So I intend using the one I have to obtain I-20 then I'd use the one in my surname for the interview.

I'm just trying to ensure there are no discrepancies and then wanna get the I-20 on time too.

I'd say if possible, wait until you get the "interview SOA" before you try to obtain the i-20. Imagine your interview going really well then the VO asks "who's sponsoring you?". Due to your situation, you may get anxious thinking "Oh God, I hope I don't screw this up", your whole demeanor could change and you become uncomfortable (like shaky voice, speaking at a different pace than you had been speaking all along, etc.) which a trained VO would notice and that could be the point that opens a bigger can of worms. I repeat, you don't want those problems.

Long story short: if it's avoidable, avoid it at all costs. Unless you have no other options.

You've really made sense. Thanks for the contribution and God bless

Thanks Walspring for clarifying that.

Guys, I need your input. Has anyone received a package via Fedex that has its tracking status stuck on "label created".

I just checked my Fedex tracking status for my H1B documents and its showing label created since it was posted. It was an overnight priority shipment.

I have contacted Fedex and they don't have an update on if the package was actually delivered.

That very odd for FedEx to say they don't have an update . If they don't know who else will know .nobody

I had a package with label created before and was told it just means the sender has sent info to the shipper that a package is to be shipped (with online account now. Any sender can go online and create the label to ship ) but it has not been physically dropped at FedEx....
the minute it dropped , it scanned at fedex and then you start seeing the tracking /movement of the package. In my case, the label was created for like 2 days until it was dropped at FedEx and I started seeing the movement details . Yours might be different but that was my experience

I greet the house..
I need really advise....oooo
I was refused visa with a community college summer 2018, I had to defer the admission.
I posted my transcript here:
The vo ask this questions according towards the end of the interview..
-do you write any standardize test
-have you travel before
-are you married
And the answer to the above questions is NO

I had to defer the admission to fall 2018 and to a university, and also taking Sat and toefl,I received my i-20 already and I have successful transfer my Sevis fee to the new i-20.
My questions now is that
1. We i have to fill a new ds160?
If YES.
After filling it,will I link it to the old one?

2. What will be the best answer to write in as reason for my first delay?

Thanks

Good morning everyone, I migrated from Canadian student visa thread on here after denial and ever since I have been a silent follower. I had my interview today at Lagos embassy for 6:30 but unfortunately i was delayed. Here goes my transcript below for your input because i plan to re-apply soon.

Me: Good morning
Vo: no reply (passport and I20)
Vo: Where will you be going in the USA
Me: Lincoln university at Oakland in California
Vo: Where will you be staying
Me: Lincoln offered me a list of hostels so I could choose my preference once I get the visa
Vo: I meant what will you be studying (don’t know how I didn’t hear her)
Me: Oh, sorry. I will be studying International business
Vo: What’s your highest form of certification
Me: Bsc
Vo: What course?
Me: Accounting
Vo: So why the change to international business
Me: it’s not really a change, there’s no business without accounting and no accounting without business. I’m presently employed by my mums company that deals with import and export of fabrics and home decoration. So this course will enable me become certified professionally when it’s time to relieve her off her duties
Vo: keeps typing for long, how many schools did u apply to?
Me: Just one
Vo: Why?
Me: When I spoke to my cousin and best friend about my plans of going for masters, they referred Lincoln to me with great testimonials. However I realised that Lincoln offers me all the courses needed for the program which aligns well with my career goals so I narrowed my search to Lincoln only
Vo: Did you apply to any other school outside the USA!
Me: No
Vo: I mean outside the USA (looking to confirm from her system)
Me: Oh, yes. (Thinking maybe she saw something about Canada or so) I guess I fell for psychology here
Vo: What country/ school
Me: Canada/Seneca college. Before I could say it was 2017
Vo: cuts in...Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?
Me:Yes
Vo: To?
Me: Uk
Vo: Are you married?
Me: No
Vo: Engaged?
Me: No
Vo: who is sponsoring your education?
Me: My mum
Vo: Naso she just dey talk gibberish...I’m sorry you do not meet the requirements blabla (handed me blue paper).
I had my hands in my mouth.. I was confident but I don’t know what went wrong, I was the first to be interviewed by a black non smiling big woman �

barryken:


Please is it days they count or months or year?

If you count all it will still be one year at the end of the day..

Hello,

I went for the interview. It went well, I guess.
I was asked to provide my bank statement. I didn't take it with me.

I want to ask, is it the inflow and outflow or the amount in the account that matters? Thanks!
