IrishCrown:
Hello
I want to confirmation on this. If I defer my admission, will my sevis ID on my 1-20 be the same as the former one? As I have paid the sevis fee based on the former sevis ID.

Please revert promptly. Thank you.

defer to when?

When I was issued my I-20 and paid the SEVIS fee. The new I-20 I was issued to include the "hybrid class" stuff, bore the same SEVIS ID. Even a previous one I was re-issued to indicate a change in resumption date, still bore the same SEVIS ID. If you're deferring to spring, I think the only thing that would change would be your program start date but I don't know about Fall 2021. Ultimately, I think you should just ask your school.

iambuksman:
Can anybody please respond to this? Plesse and thank you!

Perhaps you don't need answer. You were asked questions on this and you kept mute.

juniorsworld:


If you're chasing a BS, you would be right but if it's a Masters degree, the professors and advisors tend to be amazingly liberal, at least in my case. I had professors who were fine with me not showing up for in person courses and only doing things online, due to covid19, only if I was sure I could handle it.

I have two online courses and one in person course this semester, which my International Advisor said is fine. For the one course that's in person, I'll simply convince the professor to let me take the course online until the consulate opens, which is no problem.

I don't think this will work for Bachelors because in the US culture, people who take masters tend to be looked at as adults who may have jobs, children and other obligations thus they are given a huge amount of freedom by professors.

Are you doing it in Nigeria or US?

I hope you remember you are a grad student? If you are responding to my post with totally unrelated comment shows a sign of illness I wouldn’t share.

I doubt.

Consider taking the ACT though, some of my friends just took theirs last saturday and had their scores back this Wednesday. It's purely CBT though.

Very true. Applies to local flights only.

I was in the US, came back to Nigeria for a visit earlier this year, but then COVID happened and my visa interview was cancelled. And yes, I'm a grad student.

How is it an unrelated comment?

Please, who knows how someone who already has a visa can travel from other neighboring countries? Since international flight is still banned here.

Sanguine1:
So lets be hopeful that we can still have our F1 visa interview by next month, or being deferred.... Thanks so much for this update bros



So lets be hopeful that we can still have our F1 visa interview by next month, or being deferred.... Thanks so much for this update bros.

Honestly Bro, the "next month" has passed oh

Anybodie:

Do you have your I-20?
To get you started, I'll suggest you pay the Visa application fee, start your registration, fill your DS-160 form if you have your I-20 but don't pay the SEVIS fee yet, then standby till Visa interview resumes

Please, is this procedure applicable to those that deferred to Spring 2021?

Paragontek:

there was someone that did it few threads back. Just check.

Anybodie:


We're all in the same situation. I learnt Germany has interview scheduled for July tho, they're not sure if it will hold cos it was cancelled initially before they rescheduled

Please have you got any update on this news?

Geewin69:
My dear brothers and sisters, I dreamt that I did the interview. Then I woke up.

It all happened in my dream.

You succeeded in pulling my legs!

Cocao:


You are possibly right about the embassy reopening being later in the year. Deferring is not the only option though.

Please, what other options do we have on ground?

vc1177:

Yeah, a Nigerian friend over there has obtained his visa, sometimes last week

I believe with the current state of things, now will be a good time to defer to next year january.
right or wrong?

slimmy2005:
Open the damn embassy, we need to live Nigeria before we all drown here�.

This is a world emergency, our criminal government already sank Nigeria. The US government should open the embassy so we can all flee. It is better to kpai in US than kpai In Nigeria

Oh Lord, help us oh

Predstan:
The truth that people dont want to hear will be what they will come back to settle for... Thanks to Sheke01. No one is blaming Europe for temporarily banning Nigerians from travelling to Europe. Unfortunately, America has given a red danger(Travel not) alert about Nigeria due to the rising cases of Corona virus. They actually dont believe the Numbers coming from Nigeria

Exactly! I recall similar point was raised some months back. It is well.

Eniolakiite:
Most of these countries have had high cases and have been able to really manage it. Nigeria that we are not even doing proper and enough testing and we didn't take lockdown seriously. We turned it to curfew Now our leaders are fainting to avoid answering questions
It is well.

It's regrettably lugubrious, to be honest. The level of unseriousness in handling the pandemic is something else. May JAH help us.

All Is Well

I responded sir. I was asked about the course I'm interested in and I answered it to be Electrical and Electronics engineering, the CGPA is 2.0 in a 5.0 scale. And without funding.

Paragontek:

AdoChel:
I am not sure how true this is.

I just saw this on the BBC Nigeria website, so it's very likely true. Only one airport has been approved for international operations based on that list. I hope that's not a mistake, and I hope it means others will follow suit soon. If I'm going to be in the US this year it has to be before October 2nd, so I guess this is good news for me... Sort of?

I think The minister tweeted it's a typographical error.

Oh, thanks for sharing. I wonder how such an important document would have mistakes all over it. They didn't even spell "aviation" right, that's why I initially thought it was fake. Let's keep waiting.
