EmmyPers:
Hello, I'm curious if you already used your DropBox privilege I want to assume that you got a two-year visa for your Spring, so why do you have to look for an interview date again?

I transferred my SEVIS to a new school before I came to Nigeria. In tahr case, if you didn’t travel within 5 months, the visa expired since the SEVIS has been terminated

EmmyPers:
I graduated from a master's program in the US in May 2023, traveled back to Nigeria and my visa expired last August. Now I want to go back for the same program in a different school at PhD level in Fall of 2024. Since my visa expired not up to 24 months, do I need to apply for an interview or I qualify for a Dropbox? Thank you so much for your anticipated response.

Our case is similar. But I’m not qualify for Dropbox cuz I’ve already used that option to get a visa for spring 24, but I couldn’t travel. Now I’m in Nigeria trying to get a visa appointment for fall 24. However, it looks like you should qualify for Dropbox

esth5er:
HELLO Tender344 please is it ok for me to link up with you? Igot a UCF admission offer too. thanks

Definitely. I’ve tried sending you an email

Who have use it

OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

If this is your first visa interview, yes pick any available date you see first. Then start using your Reschedule option to look for nearer dates . I am very certain you should see your desired dates towards Feb ending . If not , then use your emergency option by 1st week of March.

1. If this is not your first time , then don't chose any date outside 2024.


Best Wishes.🙏

Meaning that we can start applying for emergency appointments starting March? I thought it’s 60days to resumption and not 120days

OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

1. New applicants can reschedule twice if you did not change interview location , ie from Lagos to Abuja.

2. In your case , i think your first click was successful which means that you should now have June 25th in your portal , or probably you have exhausted your reschedule option before now .

3. Anyway round , your last card now is EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT.

Best Wishes 🙏

Can he schedule an emergency appointment at this time when Fall 24 resumption is about 5momths awag

dest4real:


Perhaps, you're checking Abuja Embassy. I'm not sure Lagos Embassy has this long waiting period. Cheers!

I’m checking Lagos actually

Fash20:


Okay. Pick the earliest date you see and keep checking for earlier dates.

If I pick dates November, it means my only option is to apply for expedited appointment going forward

Fash20:


Winter 24

Now I can schedule an appointment, but the date I’m seeing are in November and December

Only November and December dates are available. I guess the embassy isn’t going to roll out April date or May dates

For the evidence of professional membership, is it compulsory that it’s a Nigerian association? Or an overseas association is actually welcome? Like the American association….blabla

RonuMiscreant:
ExpertNLer Please what are the awards PTDF is referring to for those without publication?

Can you screenshot that part where they’re asking about awards? Or do you mean evidence of professional membership? Are you applying for
Msc or PhD?

Fash20:


Just relax. It took me 2 weeks to get a date.

Ohh. Thanks for replying. If I may ask, when did you apply on the ustravel? Did you go in fall last year ? Or you’re for Fall24?

What exactly is happening to the visa waiting time? Is the 99 days waiting time real? I’ve submitted my application. On the UStravels since last week and till now I’ve not gotten a reply to fix my interview date

Denc:


This should work, as far one owns the card
or
is authorized to use the card details by the owner.

But I couldn’t see the pay by credit card or debit card thing. Only the western union is available. What am I doing wrong

If I have a US credit or debit card while in Nigeria, is there a way to pay SEVIS fee by myself online?

Mercy95:


I did, it’s possible , i registered on Monday, got approved on Thursday and saw date same day..
It was easy for me by the grace of God

I have not been able to book mine. Which school are you going?

Is there anyone that was able to book a visa interview appointment just few days after submitting it on ustravels? Or it’s compulsory that we wait 232 days before we’re able to book?

Zihno:


This is really impressive. UCF is known for giving out unfunded PhDs. I was a victim. Congratulations!!! When you get your visa, come and buy me beer.

Thank you so much brother. Hope you eventually got a fully funded offer?

knostbrown01:
Yes, can you drop your WhatsApp contact?

I have sent u an email msg

Who’s in University of Maryland Baltimore, especially their chemistry program… I need to speak with someone in that school to know if I can seriously consider taking offer from them

What was course tahr they didn’t fund?

Pamfresh:
The University of Kansas just gave me my first admission denial in pharmaceutical chemistry (PhD).

Six more schools to go. I feel dejected right now because I thought that as a Pharmacist with master's in pharmaceutical chemistry that I stand a chance. 😢 😢 😢

Sorry about the rejection. Better offers will come

Ixcel:
Please, my interview date is on 14th February. And I need to know if there's any dress code for US Visa interviews.

For fall 24? People have already start getting interview date?

Hello house;

I did my masters in the US not long ago. I’m about to apply for a new F1 visa to go for a PhD. Can I use the same login and password and information I use back then for my new DS160 in case I still have access to the login and all other things? Or I can create a new account with a new email and new information entirely as my circumstances have changed since the last time I filled one.

Debbieeeeeee:

I think if your resumption is not 60 days away they won’t grant you expedited (this was the rule as of 2022/2023) but I think a trial won’t hurt they just may grant you. When I checked the wait time for Lagos I saw 63 days and 31 days for Abuja but then I saw someone here who said there are no dates till September in Abuja so confusion set in.

What do you mean by wait time? Do you mean the time one has to wait before he get a reasonable interview date?

I’m curious . I can see that people going to resume for fall 2024 can actually start attending visa interview a year in advance. However, if there are no near dates, can one still apply for expedited appointment in this case?

knostbrown01:
Good afternoon men and women of the same course,

I want to inquire about 120.

I have gotten a 120 for PhD at ucf with no funding and the source of my funding is family, however, another institution(Purdue university) gave me admission to MSC with little funding.

Can I still request an I20 from the new institution and use it to apply for a Visa?

Thank You.

I got a UCF offer too. Full funding tho. We could link up. Are u stil considering UCF?
