General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 (1584496 Views)
juniorsworld(m): 3:10pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Right now, because my interviews were cancelled by NIV, in June, they told me that they would look into reing my MRV receipt once US Embassy opens and they've been telling me to wait for an email from US Embassy. But with this email coming out now, I might as well get a new MRV payment. Does anyone know if this is something I can do? Waiting for a response for something that's taken months right now is too much of a risk. |

bayocanny: Was that not the process before now. But the message says programs that exceed two yeas. PhD excess 2 years. What a confusion ! |

Friedpotato: It one country so people are allowed to switch location ... you even had some people who were denied in one then they switched to the other centre and got their Visa |

Please anyone who has an internal link at the Nigeria Embassy New York I want to renew my port as I urgently need it as a mean of identity to obtain a drivers licenses, I have tried filling the appointment online but there is no appointment date as of now. And please any advice to go about is is very much welcomed Thanks in anticipation |

Mosminic: How can this be a good thing ... the US Visa was always issued in 2 years for nigerians. If you were do a 4 years bachelors it was 2 years that was given and effectively if leaving the country yes you had to renew every 2 years What this does if implemented and hopefully it doesnt get implemented. It means a Nigerians cannot do any program more than 2 years meaning no BSC or PHD. It makes no sense 4 Likes 2 Shares |

LagosismyHome:I disagree. You can renew just like you said. It doesn't mean no PhD or BSc |
LagosismyHome(f): 3:39pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Mosminic: Time will tell then ...what this actually means. It cannot be just 2 years renewal as you said. That is the standard practise Guardian and Vanguard has interpreted this new change to mean

Please is the US embassy in Lagos conducting interviews atm ![]() |
juniorsworld(m): 3:45pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Higgies: Not yet, but check the previous page to see the email that was sent about when they will start. |

Mosminic: Time will tell and everyone will understand. The usual policy is that you renew your stay or update your i-20 after 2 years. All F1 visas for Nigerians are 2years visa while SA is 5years. What it sounds like is that pHd and Bsc may have difficulty in getting visa since the Visa will only be issued for 2years and you cannot renew your stay except for OPT. You don’t renew visa in the same country, you cannot renew your Visa in the USA. But this policy is saying that you have to renew your visa after 2years, that means you have to go back to your country after your visa expiration if you want to continue studying. How is that a good news ![]() 4 Likes |

You argue too much egbon. With the Visa ban instruction, if implemented, no reasonable vo will grant interview to anyone holding an i20 having to do with a program duration more than two years. Reason it out yourself.

Does this mean that the Embassy is likely to open before these dates? Friedpotato: |

Hi everyone, I have previously submitted my ds-160 form which had the school's resumption date which has ed now. Please, do I need to fill another ds-160 form or can the previous one suffice? By the way, my program has been deferred to spring 2021 but I am yet to receive the new I-20

Good evening. Will this affect OPT? https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/24/politics/trump-istration-international-students/index.html |
juniorsworld(m): 7:50pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Sharon8: It will be safer to fill out another DS 160 honestly, but use the same MRV to do that if it hasn't expired. You'll need to wait for the new I-20 and it has to be hard copy and original, not emailed. For your start date, you're fine. For people like me whose start date has ed, we need to ask our DSO to help change the date. |

Senatorbee: To the best of my knowledge they aren't accepting new applications. Only issuing emergency travel documents and distributing ports in their possession before the lockdown but I could be wrong. |

At last the oracle has spoken. I could vividly i told some people that when embassy open they would want to go for first-come, first-served basis due to the fact that applicant are much and they should try and pay their visa and sevis fee ahead since rush hour mode will be activated and many would want to quickly and pick dates then I assited fee to pay their sevis fee and they still pay visa fee by going to GTBank. All the best to those going for their interview soon. Meet you at the top. Cheers! Cheers!! Cheers!!! 7 Likes |

Hello all. For someone who already paid the visa fee, and has a valid I-20 (with January resumption date), is it possible to book an interview date before paying SEVIS fee? I was aware that it’s possible but lately I’ve been seeing some conflicting posts... 1 Like |

juniorsworld: I spoke with my school international program officer he said the USICE guideline is that 120s are to be issued via email not posted by mail till further approval from the government. He said they hv issued emailed i20 to many international students who hv obtained th their visa before there fall semester including those from Africa region. |
Cocao(f): 8:56pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
nitdude: You have to let him know the perculiarities from your end and conviince him you are ready to pay for shipping. It is the same I-20 but this one is just shipped. Meanwhile, use your soft copy to fill your DS form |
prosper388: 9:00pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
nitdude: Same here Please, what can be done in this case? |
Walspring: 9:06pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Aderin0la: Yes it’s possible if it’s not emergency date request because for you to get emergency date your sevis receipt is needed. 1 Like |

Walspring:In my case where i had to defer from fall this year to spring next year, i just recieved my new I-20 via email, can i capitalize on this new development and start by paying the sevis fee? |

TheEnforcer: 1:37am On Sep 26, 2020 |
LagosismyHome:But sometimes they do ask why you changed venues,and they do this because some believe its easier to get it in Abuja as opposed to Lagos due to the fact that Abuja is not as busy as Lagos. |
TheEnforcer: 1:40am On Sep 26, 2020 |
Senatorbee:I think it's due to this covid thing.You should get dates after filling the form.So you might have to be patient then. |
