Good afternoon house!
I need an assistance with this. My request to book an appointmemt has just been approved, checking my cgi profile the earliest date i got was 13th Augt. Is there possibility of getting earlier date after accepting the 13th ? And how manytimes can one reschedule an appointment if earlier dates resurfaced?

You can request for an emergency appointment 60 days prior to your programme start date.
You need your SEVIS fee payment receipt and i20 to request for emergency appointment.

For subsidized application fees payment, me.

Yes, you may request an emergency appointment and get an earlier date if approved.

You may only reschedule once.

Does non payment of SEVIS fee affect the availability of interview dates at the United States Embassy in Nigeria?

No. It doesn't affect you. You can pay the SEVIS fee weeks or days to your interview day.

Please, someone should kindly help me out with this. A friend of mine staying in UK, Luton precisely is finding it difficult helping me pay the SEVIS from there. He has approached several Western Union Money Transfer agents with the coupon I sent to him which he printed and they are telling him that they know nothing about it. I sent him OyoTunjiUSA reply from here when I made the enquiry on whether the SEVIS fee can be paid from someone in UK.

Is there any other way he can go about this? Someone should kindly help with what can work.

Hello. My I-20 says my program will last 9 months. Do I put 9 months or 1 year in the section of the DS-160 form that asks for how long I'll be staying in the U.S.?

Can sevis fee be paid from UK or Canada

Ayosharon4321:
I’m so confused… can someone be kind enough to put me through the whole process after getting ission from a university in USA? God bless abundantly

Someone to respond to this please

Chemist4life:

Someone to respond to this please

Its straight forward, submit your financial document and get your I-20 form from your school.

Use the information on your I-20 form to fill your Ds-160 form, get your DS 160 confirmation number and pay your Visa fee.

After payment apply to schedule and interview in either lagos or Abuja.
Choose your interview date.

Pay your sevis fee (Note you can't pay your sevis fee in nigeria)

Gather your documents and prepare for your interview.

Go to your interview at your choosing consulate, get approved and bye bye to Naija.


Wish you the best 👌

What a question. Please just write “BabaGod Jehovah Jireh”

This will help you

After ission (and funding for those who need it), and you've decided where you want to go:
Request for your i-20 from your school. Some give one or both of soft/hard copy, and you might pay shipping fee for hardcopy in some schools ($50 - $100). You'll usually supply details of port page, ability to cover cost like funding letter or bank statement, etc. for this.
Get the i-20. I'll suggest you request the e-copy even if the school wants to send hardcopy, so that you can use the details to book your visa interview while awaiting the hard copy. A4 printed of i-20 is acceptable at embassy. After i-20, the next 3 items can be in any order.
V Start filling your DS-160 form online at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/. You can use this video as a guide when filling it:
https://www.facebook.com/287980197932222/videos
/318718789713853
V Create a CGI profile at
https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-
appointmentschedule.asp and pay for your visa fee, costs #67,200 with GT Bank, and book your date at your desired location if an available one shows.
V Pay Sevis fee. You can create a coupon at fmjfee.com but someone in the US has to pay it for you. It costs $350, but there might be a $10 processing fee and people's dollar rates differ. So expect a wide range when converted. To be safe, the payment must be confirmed at least 72 hours prior to your interview.
Prepare for your interview and ace it.
Book your flight, typical ranges can cost from 250k - 400k for cheapest ones depending on location, or go for the more expensive and comfortable ones.
Good Luck.

If you have full funding or scholarship, indicate the name of your school as the entity paying for your trips. If otherwise, indicate the name of the person paying

Visa fee is now 222k.
