My brother visa appointment is coming up second week of December, he just got another offer letter from Penn state University.
Is it possible to quickly change and submit another visa application form for Penn State University and use their I-20? His preferred school was Penn State University, but the admission process was long to process before he got offered last week Friday
He was previously offered admission in another school, and he used the school I-20 to fill the visa application form, but he haven't pay for SEVIS fee. Can we fill up another visa application form and use Penn State University I-20? Please advise. Thanks

Thanks for your contribution, my friend has a work visa and he has only be in the UK for 8 months. He has a sister in Canada who will also co sponsor, because he is on a work Visa in the Uk, I thought maybe it will be wise for him to come to Nigeria to apply for the F1 visa. Can I get appoint in Nigeria, his program starts Jan 3 2023
emmanuelle27: Nursing in UK is a big job so I personally think this person has more ties to the UK than Nigeria as it stands now, what type of Visa/permit does the person have, you should be returning to the UK after ur studies so it's safe to apply from UK, go with ur residence permit, pay stubs and any other information that'll show ur ties to the UK, since you're self funding make sure u have A LOT of MONEY, this is my subjective opinion, VO's might think otherwise
fairheart: Yes, she can do that! I don't know how the self-sponsor will work out. This is the angle to look at things from how much is in the account. Will it cover 2 years of the program or is it only one year? If it is just one year (which is the least amount you need to show), the consular will be looking at it from this angle: where do you get additional funds when the one-year fee in the student account is expended? You can't work on f1. So, I personally don't like the idea of f1 self-sponsor. Some VOs may not care, but most do...especially a nurse. It may give the impression that she will want to work illegally or be out of status when the one-year funds in her account are expended.
I advise her to co-sponsor. She finds a family member as a sponsor, saying she will be paying for her living expenses from the funds she saved up over the years while working in the UK. Also, there is a possibility she may be refused and told to apply from Nigeria. So, she should apply with this information in mind.
uist: Hello everyone, Please I need help with my question, can someone apply for F1 visa from the UK?
My friend is a registered nurse in the UK, and recently got masters admission in MPH for spring 2023.
Self sponsored, can he apply for F1 from the UK? How do he show ties and convince the visa officer that he will come back to Nigeria or to the UK? Did he have any chances of getting the visa from the UK or does he need to come to Nigeria to apply for the f1 visa. Please help.

Please I need help with my question, my mom visa application is currently at the NVC stage, I submitted all the supporting documents on NVC page, l got a notification yesterday to check my online account, I was surprised to see the police certificate got rejected!
A friend helped me to do the police clearance in Lagos, and it was 3 months validity. Jan - April.
My mom lives in Benin city, can this be done in state area command in Benin?
I just realized my friend defrauded me and issued me fake police certificate clearance.
Please I need your advice. My mom is too old to travel to alagbon by herself. As anyone used police certificate issued in Benin and was the certificate accepted? Please advise
richhills: Alagbon in Ikoyi Lagos is where you will get the police report. Take a journey to Lagos, if you engage any police station in Benin city for it they will be sending it to Lagos for procurement and the authenticity you can not gauge.
W2 and other financial papers are for three years. Currently 2018/2019/2020 by April 2022 it will change to 2019/2020/2021
Whoever that brought the idea of creating WhatsApp group must be very selfish and self centered. You came to this gr8 forum to seek information, after getting all the information needed to secure your admission to schools in Portugal, then you decided to create a WhatsApp group. How would new members benefit from your experience if this is done via WhatsApp group? Abeg make una stop this nonsense!!! I'll entreat everyone to post their experience/admission process here for others to learn and keep this forum alive! Thanks everyone n God bless.
FolabiCash: Stop creating WhatsApp groups ! You're killing this great website!
I'm having similar problem. I hope folks here can help out!
godssonibk: I am going to have my baby delivered in America, my appointment date with me Dr is July but as it stand now no available date till October to shedule my appointment, please is there a solution?
I completed the Online Non-immigrant Visa Application (DS-160), selecting lagos Nigeria as the place where I will be applying for the visa
My departure date on DS-160 application form was July 10 2018, and i have submitted the application form.
I was trying to book my appointment online, and i saw first appointment date in October 15 2018. Please folks, is it possible for me to chose place of interview as Abuja? knowing fully that i submitted and indicated lagos as my place where I will be applying for this visa.
Another question, I was previously denied US visa last year June 2017! Today when i was trying to book appointment, i saw where they indicate if i have been previously applied/interviewed and/or refused within the last 6 months. Please folks should click Yes/No?
I was refused last year June 2017!
I will appreciate if folks here can put me though. Thanks everyone here
World Cup stars congratulate each other for 2018 Fifa world cup Russia. The video features a mosaic of languages and includes, among others, Neymar doing his best to speak Farsi, Robert Lewandowski congratulating Egypt in Arabic and Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny giving a good account of himself in Icelandic. John Mikel Obi congratulates Costa Rica
If truly you want to study in New Zealand, don't be discourage, i will encourage you to apply. Am talking from experience. A cousin of mine used forged documents to apply for Canada visa, and he was denied and banned! So when he wanted to apply for US visa, a lot of people discourage him not to apply for US visa, and he was told US and Canada shares information bla bla bla. I encourage him to apply, and never listen to them. He got his 2 years multiple visa last year November 2014, and he's currently in Houston Texas. US and Canada dont use same central database system, Same with Australia and New Zealand.
Note: Australia and New Zealand dont use same central database visa system.
They are just neighbors, and they don't use same central system for visa, and there is no way New Zealand will know about your previous Australia denial, except if the refusal stamp is on your passport! Believe me, that will not make affect your visa, This time you have to make sure all your documents are genuine, and package your application well, you will come here to share testimony. Mark my word! My uncle lives in Christ Church and i also have cousin there, the country is a nice place. If you already gotten your admission, try gather all the necessary documents together and apply. Wish you best of luck.
Power of money....But at the end people will call it true love Even 95% Nigerian women are ready to divorce their husband to marry this billionaire. Papa God bless me abundantly
