OK, I'll consider this. Thanks a lot

Davidkking:

My own payment too didn't reflect until after like 5hrs.....so if your own stayed this long I'm not sure the person paid......and the fee would be $350 by tomorrow.

MOwasola58:
Good evening everyone . I just completed my application to study at cal state san Bernardino. So i need to pay the application fee with a PayPal and dont have a PayPal account . Do you know how i can pay the application fee or how i can open a PayPal account??

Davidkking:

Same with me oo.....but mine is I need to pay for orientation

Johnolukolade:


Let me link your case with this- If anyone has their visas approved for Lincoln University and after the interview, they got a better offer from let's say Gatech, it's always advisable to reapply for a new F1 visa. So, in your case, if you want to pick an OPT option later in the future, it's advisable that you reapply for the visa. I hope you find this helpful.

Time2win:


You shouldn't have come back home unless finance was the issue. You should have continued, get admit from the new schools then ask the school to transfer your sevis record. Right now, can you still resume in the old school since your visa is still active? If not, you have to attend a new interview and explain to the V.O so you don't have issues at point of entry

dreambound:

Hope this is helpful.

Normally...you can transfer your SEVIS details to the new school to be able to legally enter the US with your F1, except....

MOwasola58:

Did you apply to study at cal state San Bernardino CA??

Davidkking:

No oo..... Missouri State University.....but I was asked to pay for orientation through PayPal.....the rest was with credit card

Predstan:


He’s one of them. They already know who will be approved or not.

Congratulations in advance

Auditmonkey:


Thank you. This is very helpful.

I went through all your posts, and all I see is buy iPhone and Sell iPhones.

Are you a drop out?

dumbiri99:

Very rude post. If you cannot give advice, don't quote. I asked a simple question and you took it to another dimension. Not everyone is a crook dude. How will I take it without his permission when I don't live him, the tax clearance is in his house and I don't live with him. I stay in Lagos, he is rivers and I haven't been to his house since 2017, that was when I stumbled on it. He is my very close uncle but likes to keep the details of his finances private. I am asking here to know if I should bother to ask him for it.

Temi87:
Thank you for your input. I logged in with the same details yesterday with no issues and I’ve been trying every other thing. Someone above mentioned they’re having the same issue so I think I’ll contact CGI. Thanks

dumbiri99:

Thanks you Lagosismyhome. Please do not be offended. It was just a misunderstanding. Thank you too TheZed. As for you Porpor, please keep quiet, you kinda sound like a broken record

4gunners:


Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you. I contacted him to see if he could recommend one or two skls that can fund my program(I applied this fall to several skls, but got admits without funding), surprisingly he requested 80k from me.

It was then I realized, though there are lots of people on this thread that are genuinely helping people--selflessly I must say-- but one or two people are here to make there presence known, so as to get there potential "customers". A sorts of business strategy.

You never learn do you?
I hope you won't still shamelessly apologize to Porpor again because you fail to tame your anger.

dumbiri99:

Helloo kindly shift let's see road, Are you a kid or something cos only a kid calls an apology shameless. Shift

Predstan:

LagosismyHome:


clearance alone

dumbiri99:

Thanks again Lagosismyhome. You have any idea why lately people with assistantship and deficit of 12k, 8k etc are being denied?

LagosismyHome:


The Vo not convinced that the sponsor can pay is my guess. In some cases the sponsor can but the Vo is not patient enough to review the full picture.... in such cases it might help if sponsor is a parent but when it comes to aunty and uncle things some Vo believe that but some dont. So it depends on the Vo
