Yikes. The embassy will ask you to pick your visa up in three days and third day is a Saturday. I don't know, you should ask the gurus

Thank you. Very informative write up

LagosismyHome:


Below is an old response to someone who was in a similar position in 2016......loved the response when i first read it and it applies to anyone with a Skype interview . Source: happy day. Also use the search button up and type skype phd or skype department then filter to travel section ... You will be able to learn a thing or two.

I am being told that if you cancel this appointment you will have exceeded the limit of appointments cancelled and will not be able to schedule another appointment until another MRV has been paid. BUT I HAVE NOT CANCELLED ANY APPOINTMENT BEFORE.

Then it’s possible for you to cancel

In a simple word, you can cancel for the first time for free but when canceling another or second time you will forfeit the visa fee.

Hello everyone, I want to sincerely thank Walspring and every other persons that has and is contributing towards helping the dreams and ambitious of so many Nigerians, particularly as regards the subsidised test registration which I have recently benefited from.
I pray God remembers and rewards your efforts and contributions personally. And as you all are putting joy in the hearts of many through the guidance, wealth of resources and even going the extra mile of committing your resources to several people on this faceless forum, may God in his infinite mercies put smiles on your faces and answer your prayers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Amen and Let’s give all thanks to God

But that's not the statement is saying. Its sounding like I have cancelled before and that cancelling again will mean forfeiture of the Visa fee. That's why I am confused.

Because you haven’t cancelled or rescheduled before so if you want to cancel and change location you can

Gozychuks:

Why do u say so

Gozychuks:

It seems they don't allow canceling one's appointment again
Pls check well b4 u cancel that appointment else u will have to pay another money

Sorry for replying late. I responded to your mail and Iampurposeful mail yesterday, so pls check your mail.

When’s your exam scheduled for?

Pefuele:


Send an e-mail to the Graduate School to confirm if TOEFL is required for Nigerians.

If a school waives TOEFL for Nigerians, is it safe enough to assume that one can be considered for TA without submitting TOEFL? I’m really worried...


Just lately I have a growing concern bout taking TOEFL... but sadly admission deadline is in sight.

In the Graduate Assistantship form online, the sch asked:

Is English your Primary Language? Yes/No
If no, please provide your TOEFL score _______

The sch waives TOEFL for Nigerians... so I want to be sure if I could pick yes then I sent a msg to grad coordinator in this regard but I haven’t got a response from him (it’s been days now)

I know certainly that here is US Admission and Visa Encyclopedia

Is there any member of this noble thread that could help me book 4 January, 2020 for TOEFL?

Congratulations!

Guys, please how long does DHL hold a passport for before returning it to the consulate? I am yet to pick up my passport from DHL and they sent a message to the alternative phone number I filled in some minutes ago that it would be returned to the consulate after 5 working days. I dunno how legit this is and I would need to travel to pick it up at Isolo.

Yaaaaaaaay! Thank God!! Congratulations!!!!!!
