The student visaF-1
The visa that lets you study full time in the United States. Here is exactly how it works, what you pay, what the interview asks, and how we carry the whole thing with you.
One visa.One purpose.
The F-1 is the United States' main student visa. If you are coming to study a full-time degree at an approved US school, this is almost certainly the one you need.
You cannot apply for it cold. First a school admits you and issues a Form I-20. Then you pay the SEVIS fee, file the DS-160, and sit a visa interview at the embassy. We handle that whole chain with you.
How interview-ready are you?
Tap everything you already have in place. The meter shows how far along your F-1 journey is, and where we step in to close the gaps.
From offer to stamp.
Five moves take you from an admission letter to a visa in your passport. Tap each one to open it up.
The questions they ask.
A consular interview is short and direct. Step through the questions you are most likely to hear, and see how to approach each one. These are prompts to practise, not lines to memorise.
Be specific and personal. Name what your course and this country offer that your goal needs, and keep it short and confident.
Walk in complete.
The fees, told straight.
Two fees go to the US government on the way to your visa. They are paid in US dollars and the amounts change, so we confirm the current figures with you rather than quote a number that may be out of date.
Paid before your interview. From Nigeria it is usually settled by money order or Western Union, not a local card, and you keep the receipt for the interview. We handle this step.
The MRV application fee, paid when you file the DS-160 to book your interview. We complete the form with you and keep every answer consistent with your file.
Tuition, living costs and the proof of funds the visa needs are separate again, and depend on your school and city. We map your real numbers with you.
Our service fee is separate from all of these. Government and school fees are never hidden inside what you pay us, and we always show you the current amounts before you commit to anything.
Start early.
Give yourself about eight to twelve months. Working backwards from your intake, here is roughly how the runway looks.
Interview demand in Nigeria is very high, so appointment slots go fast. Newer checks can include a look at your public social media. The earlier we start, the more room you have when it matters.
We carry it.You walk in ready.
Every form, with you
The I-20 details, the SEVIS payment, the DS-160, the appointment. We do the fiddly parts alongside you and check everything twice.
A real mock interview
We put you across the desk before the embassy does, with honest feedback, so the real one feels familiar.
The truth, always
We tell you where you stand, what to fix, and what the current rules are, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
We prepare you to the highest standard we can. No honest service promises a visa. We prepare you so thoroughly that you walk in ready. The decision is the embassy's. Our job is to make sure nothing is missing when you face it.
Straight answers.
First test to first day. We stamp every stage.
You start with one short form. From there we work every stage with you, and mark each one done as we go.
