What is an I-20?

I-20 is a document issued by the university to the students who have been granted admission. It is a strictly confidential document and in most cases it is issued only to the student directly i.e., it will not be handed over to any relative or friend of yours in the US. Only after receiving this I-20 you are eligible to appear for VISA in students category (F-1 Visa).

Note : Students who visit US on exchange programs (usually for a very short period) to study shall get an IAP-66 instead of an I-20 and can appear for VISA under J-1 category.

Paying SEVIS Fee (For Nigerians Only)

The I-901 form is used to transmit the fee for the F and J nonimmigrant reporting system authorized by the Illegal Immigration reform and Immigration Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996. Public Law 104-208, Subtitle D, Section 641.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implemented rules regarding payment of this fee on September 1, 2004. The fee to be paid by F-1and J-1 students, as well as, J-1 scholars is $100.

The SEVIS fee must be paid and fully processed before the applicant arrives at the consulate for the visa interview. For those individuals who do not need a visa to enter the U.S. as a student or exchange visitor, the fee must be paid and fully processed before applying for entry at a U.S. port-of-entry. Having a receipt for the SEVIS fee payment will facilitate the visa application process. We assist all Nigeria Students that are willing to further their education in the U.S.A. to make the payment, the fee is $100.
