Please house, a relative is attempting to pay SEVIS FEE for me in the US, but cannot see where to pay with Card. Kindly help me out.

EmeritusR:
It will be well, no worries at all. I got a friend who was approved yesterday at Lagos (undergraduate). So grateful! He will share his transcripts soon.

Congrats to him!
Was it for Summer?

JaySterling:
Congrats to him

Is he a fresh high school graduate? Or what year did he finish

He finished high school in 2015 and he was asked what he has been doing since then. He was able to tell the VO what he was doing since 2015. He was on a full time missionary service since that time.

No it’s spring, but his spring start from April and end in July.

Good morning Team,

Please I'm in a situation where getting letter of recommendation from my under grad is delaying/difficult.
Must the recommendation letter come from my under grad school only and must it be from my HOD.

What other options can I explore?

Please help!!!

Recommendations usually are academic or professional. Most schools specify on which they require. Logically, considering the intended use is for an academic position, it's advisable to get an academic recommendation.

My advice for your case is, possibly go to your undergraduate school and meet the lecturers one-on-one. This way, they have an inkling that you're in need for this.
In a case where the location might be too far, try calling them personally. Explain the exigency of it. If possible, suggest a draft/template for them. This makes it easier for them.

Its more like a thumb rule; if your school asks for three recommenders, reach out to at least five. So even if one or two disappoint, you'll be covered.

I wish you well.

That is what he is going to do after printing the coupon. Thank you.

Good morning..
I'll be taking SAT examination may 8 by God's grace but it's without essay what is my chance of getting a fully funding scholarship( program: bsc in pre-medical/ nursing) without the essay cos I heard it's optional someone is actually paying for me.

I booked 26th April but it was canceled and I got a mail advising me to rebook. When I opened my portal the earliest date was march 21st (which is beyond 120 days for me) and April fully book, May had few dates between 15th to the end so I took 24th.
Let's see how it goes then.

frapzkid:

Mine wasn't cancelled thankfully. My date is April 29th... I checked my profile no change or how did you know it was cancelled. Did they send a mail or something.
Cos I booked since December 27th

I have taken a date in May "I no wan hear stories that touch".

EmeritusR:


Yes that’s true! I really do not know why they canceled it. Anyway we just need to rebook again, keep checking dates, they are on their way coming.

Thanks so much for your response. I appreciate. The husband is the primary applicant. Talking about POF, please how much should we be looking at as the funding doesn't cover my wife and 3 kids?
Am just concerned about the VO talking about no home ties since we are applying together? what is your thought about this? What can we say to convince them if it gets to that please?

Thank you

fairheart:


You can apply with your family, and of course, you must show proof of funds for their living expenses if the funding doesn't cover for it.
From experience, I cannot say exactly how the interview will go as the outcome will largely depends on the type of consular you meet. Questions will be asked and constructive answers must be prepared. Is the primary applicants the wife or husband? If wife, then why is the hubby leaving his job to stay in the US? If it's the husband, it is easy to understand why the wife wants to go with the husbands and the 3 kids.

In November 2020, an applicant that I assisted with the interview went was given her visa with 3 kids, without hubby in the picture. The reason was that she cannot imagine leaving behind her kids for 4-5 years, while husband is very busy with his job and may visit during holidays. I have no idea if the plan is to bring in the hubby later. Then that same month, a lady from this thread, without her two kids and husband, applied alone, same Phd. She didn't even have funding on the i-20, yet visa was approved.

You can try with the entire family, or plan to try alone. Who is the primary applicant?

Lagos or Abuja ?
Still cant see any open dates for Lagos as at 10 minutes ago.

Good day. Please for anyone who has gotten admission into Western Illinois University, how long after sending your admission documents did you get a response?
I have sent all my documents since January and what the school said was they'll refer someone to me after my documents have been reviewed. But I am yet to get a response since.
Please I'll just like to know how long it took for anyone who got a response from WIU.

Hello House,

Please I have 2 questions.

1) Does anyone know any schools in the US that would fund an MSc student in Management of Information Systems or something along that line?

2) Is it possible for one to still apply for an F-1 visa after obtaining a H-1B visa?

Thank you.

Oh really you’ve booked for may, that’s great! I think that is going to be fine as well. But was it lagos or Abuja?

Good day everyone, please is having a close relative in the US going to have a negative effect on visa decision?
I have an older sister in the US, who is married and has a kid, and I intend to stay with her throughout my time in the US.
Please I would like to know.

Abuja

It may... As the VO will prefer a tie with ur country other than with US. Telling him that you have someone in US, might make him think that you won't return after your studies. I may be wrong though. Let the gurus in the house, come and do justice to this, please.

Good day all,
Pls i need US University for a Master degree in (Supply Chain Mgt & Logistics) or Transport & Distributor. Especially school with GRE waiver and with funding opportunity! Thanks

Bro, you can actually ask any of your professional boss in your previous work to place to help out, your immediate supervisor; HR and co.
Don’t forget they (the school) said, PROFESSIONAL/ACADEMIC RECOMMENDATIONS.

Personally, I’ve not use anyone of my school lecturer or prof as a recommender, never tried that. Reason? They’re “them being them”, always forming ‘strict’ and/or always being busy.

I only ask my professional bosses, of where I’d my IT, NYSC, Previous work places to help with recommendations, and guess what? It doesn’t take them more than 3days to help out, since I’ve good relationship with them.

Guess what? None of the recommendations have ever been decline. I got 5 Msc admits with them.

It’s even good when you use the 3 referees on your Resume/Cv as also your recommenders.

PS: DON’T WASTE TIME WAITING FOR PROFS!!

Hello house and greetings. I'm new here and take this time to appreciate very one who have continued to be of help of several persons that have come through this path. Well done guys.

I have this question to ask: I paid for my visa fee some time last year and because of the pandemic, I never booked an appointment. now in my quest to book one, I noticed that the fee on the site has increased from 62400 when I paid to 67200. My question then is, is my receipt number still valid to use or must I make up the money before I proceed with picking a date?

But I do have a couple of ties, like a promotion at my current place of work and my fiancé. I just don’t know if that would be enough.

GoodEvening.
Please I need help regarding 214b reason for denial. I was delayed in November last year and February 2021 for 214b reason. Please how can I overturn this decision from the embassy in my next interview.

How can I amend it?
In my previous ds160 ,I filled that I have a relative in USA, and she would be paying for my trip. Also, I filled I was unemployed. I really thought the process was about sincerity.

Please how can I go about filling a new ds160 considering all this?

Woah
Do you have any sort of funding, who's the relative to you, is the school in the same city or state as your relative.
Sincerity matters that doesn't mean you should blow your chances completely by what you say.
Send your transcript or conversation with the VO
