BTW, same Abuja gave this response to me: Your case has been updated, please log back into your account to view the details. Date/Time Case Opened: 10/2/2020 2:05 AM Description: Good evening and trust you are keeping safe in this perilous times. I want to know if the requirement for the original I-20 will be in any way jettisoned considering the exigencies of the Pandemic and uncertainties of interview dates. Will photocopies of the I-20 suffice ? This information will help avert the cost of shipping the original copies if need be. Thanks immensely. Origin: Email Case Reason: I-20 for F-1 Visa interviews Public Response: Dear Applicant, Thank you for writing to the U.S. Visa Service Desk.

Help Guys, My program was to start in May with my appointment scheduled in March. Please, I don't know how to start up things again. Should I request for new I-20 form from my school, then request for new admission letter? |

Snakedoctor1:They actually replied you correctly. You cannot submit photocopies. Your question could've been; will electronically issued I-20 suffice? 2 Likes |

It seems the Abuja Consulate is actually responding to people and not simply using automated messages. What's the deal with this Lagos one joor? 1 Like |

Mosminic:Photocopies is still right in the light of the emailed electronic copies but i should have nuanced it for proper understanding. When you print the emailed copy it is still a photocopy |

Please guys... I have a question that needs urgent answer. I'm going for a 3 years course in nursing for spring 2021. My passport will expire in 2022. I'm about to fill my Ds160 form but I'm confused on what they said about the 6months validity. Please, can someone explain this to me in clear terms. Thank you |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Asguard: 9:09am On Oct 06, 2020 |
Lavender09:You'll renew it from there |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by adelawry(m): 9:39am On Oct 06, 2020 |
Lavender09: What that means is that; it must be valid for atleast 6months from when you’re presenting the passport for visa. Even if it’s 6months from commencement of your start date (which is Jan I suppose), your passport is still very valid. You can always renew over there. |

Snakedoctor1: This is a f**king rip off and not fair in this period. Why did it cost this much? Did you request for any other thing because I paid 35USD before lockdown and recently to get mine through FEDEX. 1 Like |

Reytheon: 1. I feel he is a good person..Lol. Generally speaking 2. He prefers to continue sponsoring his current PhD students doing well to taking up new ones 3. He currently doesn't have extra money to take in and sponsor a new PhD student. Although, he is awaiting the result of some grants proposal he has written. 4. He can not take in student via email. It is hard for him to judge because he would prefer to consider candidate's full application package. 5. Furthermore, he prefers to select his PhD students during the admission process. He basically selects the best students whose interests align with his. 6. He praised your academic excellence and advised you apply to the school. Then may be you can be among the best guys with similar interests with him 7. He said few TAs spots might open up against Fall 2021 8. You can contact other faculty in the dept, they might have funding. That's my take on the email. I am sure there would be different views from the bosses here. Goodluck! 5 Likes |

websta: I guess you saying may 2020 which has gone for good. Just tell your school that you want to defer your admission for spring 2021 or Summer 2021 or fall 2021 and a new i20 will be issued for you with a new program date as well. Well I think you can still meet up with spring 2021 if you make the call this week and start the processing |

I want to apply for my F1 visa now, please where do you advise me to apply to LAGOS or ABUJA, considering the time factor and Sucess rate for spring 2021 |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Walspring: 7:44pm On Oct 06, 2020 |
IrishCrown: If you can tell your school send you scan copy of your i20 or send you your sevis number and school code, you can use that to book appointment and fill ds160 and generate coupon payment for sevis fee while you await the original copy of the i20 to arrive to your door step in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Admitwithschola, I saw a post about you and your friends helping guys with 320+ GRE score by returning some of the fees. I will like to ask if that offer is still up. I have written my GRE, and I had 324, I wouldn't mind getting help to finance my TOEFl because my NYSC allowance I am currently using for it is kind of stretched thin now. Any Nairalander who also will like to help me in any possible way, I will be grateful, thank you. 7 Likes |
