Hey man, how did you get the MRV fee paid on your behalf? I'm also in the same predicament and want to schedule an appt before getting back to Nig. Thanks man.

I think for the emergency appointment, once it has been accepted they give you a calendar which shows interview date(s) that are open/available then you can pick from those dates. Please others can correct me as well.

The $160 MRV Fee for F1 Students can be paid at any GTBANK in Nigeria in naira using #420 to $1. Equivalent is #67,200.
Your Int'l port will be required.


I hear you can also pay online via their mobile app.

Just send the scan of the biometric page of your port to the person, the correct visa category and of course, the fee.
The person should be able to go to GTbank and pay it for you.

Hello everyone, please gurus in the house I will appreciate if you all help me look through my proposed transcript, I’m open to corrections and suggestions. Thank you

School: University of Denver
Program: Masters in International Security
COA: $61609 & Scholarship: 15000

VO: What’s your purpose of travelling?
Me: To pursue masters in international security at the university of Denver

VO: Why this school?
Me: Several things stood out for me about the institution ma’am, First of all the school adoption of experimental education will make me exposed to the real world knowledge by enabling me to participate in special programs and internships around the world, the school teaching syllabus is also a unique blend of both practical and theoretical teaching, also Denver has 13 research institutions and this will make me work alongside with global networks of scholars, experts and researchers in the field, and of course the scholarship given to me is an added advantage for me.

VO: Why did you choose to study this course?
Me: it is basically born out of interest, growing up in a country that struggles with insecurity issues with different bandit strategies on a daily basis, my interest got boosted with my undergraduate research work on insecurity issues in Nigeria, ‘’A case study of Boko Haram attack in the Northeast and its socio economic implications” with my analysis I found out that over 40000 lives were lost, 3 million persons got displaced, 310,000 persons became refuges, and with my present exposure working in the security firm, this course will make me problem solver by producing strategies, solutions that will be useful to my country security sector.

VO: What will this course do for you?
Me: I really want to work as a security expert in a renowned security organization here in Nigeria, and upon my current exposure in the security firm, there is a need for additional knowledge to be able to make relevant impact, with this course I will get the right competence and skills needed to achieve this.

VO: Tell me about your course:
Me: I will be required to take a 60 credit course in 2 years, I will take a compulsory course on defense and security methods and also great issues of international affairs and policy and also foreign policy, global environmental governance, statistical method and data collections, gender and security, human rights and security, international terrorism, regional security and conflict resolution.

VO: Why USA?
Me: I choose because my school is located in America and its is one of the few schools that offers best master of international security with a unique blend of both practical and theoretical teachings, also the school faculty is made up of subject matter experts.

VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: A Bsc in international relations with a second class upper from bleep university…

Vo: who will be your sponsor and what does he do?
Me: my uncle will be my primary sponsor, he has been a major part of my academic achievements over years, and he deals in imports and exports of automobiles for over 20 years. My father will be a co-sponsor and I also have some personal savings.

VO: What is your research interest?
Me: I want to be able to define non-violent strategies and civil actions that would help tackle security threats in Nigeria by working with proff Avant on her ongoing investigation into effects of non-violent actions in conflict zones.

VO: How many schools did apply to and name them
Me: 3 schools
University of Denver
George Washigton University
North Arizona state university

You do need to take a chill pill. An F2 visa is not an emergency… if anything, you’re simply going to be a burden on scarce resources so you can understand why the embassy won’t be giving you an expedited date when you have F1 visa applicants here who can barely find a date.

Also, you are free to “buy a date”… just be expecting to be denied. I wonder why you didn’t just apply with your spouse in the first place.

When you know you don't have anything to say why didn't you just shut up and . And where did I write that I was looking for emergency date, I only need date for this year that's all. Please mind the way you address people's post
