Your attitude is very annoying. You may be academically sound, but you need to learn to be understanding and listen to those who knows better than you. Most of the people who have been on this thread for a long time, contributing, advising, giving listening ears and even supporting strangers financially, are not your mates. Lagosismyhome is trying to correct and educate you, yet, you remain defensive.
This manner will likely make more people ignore you. Classroom education should not be subtituted for manner. Learn and move on!

ok Sir, I'm sorry thanks

Lagosismyhome, I'm sorry ma'am.
I just hate when people snub my message, it makes me feel like an inferiority complex.

fairheart:

For any form of electronic payments bordering your application (except for SEVIS), Nigerian ATM cards work.
So you can use it.

thanks

But I hope the charges per transaction is not much?

Hi guys, pls anyone here that I've made use of FedEx for shipment. I made the payment for the shipment on Friday lastweek, through UEMS eshipmentglobal.com. I've been checking the site since then, still the same information I'm seeing on it, info like: not yet shipped, your university has been notified. I wonder if the document have been received from the university at all. Anyone that have used them or know how they work should say something pls.

Hi guys.
I plan to use my friend in Michigan as my contact person where I will quarantine for 14days and then travel to Virginia where my school is.

Now does it matter that Michigan is 9hrs away by road and 1hr by flight?

Or should I look for someone closer to Virginia

I dont think that's advisable. Why not stick to the school official.

Sharon8:


Just login with your current DS-160 application ID, then it will show that your application has already been submitted. Next, you will be asked whether you want to create a new application, click on that option. This will upload all the details you filled in your previous form. You can now make whatever changes you need to make. Don't forget to save your new application ID.

Thanks a lot and God bless.

Dear, it best you contact your schools international program office and also send a mail to FEDEx customer service logging your complains. They will contact your school immediately. UPS is the best so far for me economically and speed wise. I strongly recommend them. I had same issue but it was resolved under 24hrs. It's barely two weeks now and I will be receiving my I-20 today.

Prompt whichever office that handles Visa documents in your school. I did exactly that on 29th Sept, and I got my I20 through UPS last week Thursday.

That means I will quarantine at a hotel or off campus accommodation or how?

Mr fairheart can I mail you?

Hollyholy:

Let the VO know that your school has provided a quarantine center for all international students. You must not isolate yourself in a hotel or your friend’s place.

Get their Lagos number online. Also use the chat link on eshipglobal and tell them your concern. Do all these maybe they’ll at least keep track of your shipment

I received mine today. FedEx got shipment notification and picked it up on 7 October. DHL got same... shipment arrived Nigeria on Sunday and was delivered on Monday with regular update (at most every two-hour or so).

FedEx just delivered mine this afternoon... with a rude call from their dispatch staff


Hopefully you’ll get em this week

Good day my people. Please oo, I'm here again with a question. We're about to get a bank statement and our branch is in a somewhat rural location where the staff can easily make format mistakes. Is there supposed to be a covering note attached and addressed to the Consular section before the statement starts running? The staff here said they can just print and stamp the bank statement at the branch and that's all. We're using First Bank. Thanks in advance because I know I'll get an answer soon.

There's no need for cover letter from the bank. Just tell the bank to print a 6 months statement for your sponsor on a clearn sheet and thoroughly stamped. Some banks log the request for statement for embassy in their system in case the embassy contact the bank. I am sure the bank official knows what to do once you request for a statement for visa interview.

@ rkang and lifeofgolden 1, Thanks so much for the response.

Please guys I have some questions:

1. How much precisely is the visa and Sevis fees??
2. I’m expecting my I-20 form next week, can I still get visa interview date in November because my school resumes in spring January 2021.

Reciprocity Fee

BrTune:
Thanks everyone for your well wishes.

I have had to travel a lot, so I have decent experience in visa interviews. Even though I have never been denied a visa, for some reason I felt jittery and apprehensive about this particular interview, so I understand the anxiety most of you feel, but try to stay calm and focused on your goal. We will all be fine, eventually.

In answer to some of the questions:

Reciprocity fee is 42,900.
!

I really can't say much about the mock interview, I'm also preparing for mine... You can send a DM to fairheart or some other guys

Lete:
Please guys I have some questions:

1. How much precisely is the visa and Sevis fees??

Visa Application fee is 62,400NGN while the SEVIS fee is $350 (The Naira equivalent depends on the exchange rate the day you're making the payment)

Please guys I have some questions:

2. I’m expecting my I-20 form next week, can I still get visa interview date in November because my school resumes in spring January 2021.

You can get schedule an interview before your I-20 arrives, you need you SEVIS number on the I-20 to fill your DS-160 and schedule and appointment. If your school can provide you with a soft copy of your I-20 then you can go ahead and schedule an interview

3. Please can someone just outline step by step on what and what I need to do immediately I receive my I-20 form please.
