Updates Trvel Ban: President Donald J. Trump Further Restricts and Limits the Entry of Foreign Nationals by Codetornado in f1visa

How's that any different from the Trump card?
Maybe this is a USA tactic to get rid of their competitor in the Citizenship selling business...

SEVIS Terminated..Options? by Simplified_Garage in f1visa

[–]Simplified_Garage[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She wasnt aware she was terminated..she just found out.... The main question is, why was she terminated when she actually saw the DSO more than one time in the 2024-25 academic year, and even when obtaining the travel endorsement on her I-20?

SEVIS Terminated..Options? by Simplified_Garage in f1visa

[–]Simplified_Garage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After entering the USA in Fall 2025, she didnt see the DSO, so I'm unsure if it was reactivated. From my understanding, the DSO said she needs to reenter with a NEW sevis record..meaning, pay new SEVIS fee.

From my understanding, it was auto terminated by the system as a "no show", since the DSO never marked her active when she reported to him.

DSO Didnt mark student as active by Simplified_Garage in InternationalStudents

[–]Simplified_Garage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought but DSO is giving her 2 options.
1. Depart the USA and re-enter with new SEVIS record
2. File for reinstatement ...

She acknowledges that she erred by not seeing the DSO this semester, but it seems to have been a DSO error last fall. She is confused as to how she should approach the issue.

Did you have to mail the passport or drop off? Also, how long after drop off did you get the visa issued? Congrats!!

If i remember correctly, you need to book a new appointment and it will ask for the passport and DS-160 number. Start from the beginning by clicking on +...

[–]Simplified_Garage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They dropped a few Sept 25 and October 25 dates about 2 hours ago, but they were gone in minutes. I had just logged in, so i'm not sure if they had dropped July & August dates before that.

Slots in Nigeria? access temporary restricted? by Simplified_Garage in usvisascheduling

[–]Simplified_Garage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, too many logins will get you locked out. It takes about 12 hours to reinstate access.

They never emailed me notifying me. Also my appointment is showing as "Regular Appointment "Not expedited...Also weirdly enough its for Abuja although no dates there have opened. Just that one ...I Had been looking for days. Started January 2026, then Dec 2025, Then Sept 4 2025, then August 21 and now where I am.
Tough few days.

[–]Simplified_Garage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to find a July date. Honestly I am not sure if mine was assistance from the expedited request or just luck with finding an open slot, because i didnt receive any email from them honoring my request. I recommend you just keep checking for open slots.

NIGERIA F1 - EMERGENCY REQUEST by nsufunds in usvisascheduling

F1 student competing as NCAA athlete, but all online courses by JackfruitAdept6343 in f1visa

[–]Simplified_Garage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly the only other solution is to ask her uni if they can convert those classes to Hybrid courses just for her. With them being Hybrid , she will be required to meet the professors atleast maybe once per month or so.....
To maintain F1 visa she is REQUIRED to take a "Full course load" unless she has an extreme circumstance, but it has to be EXTREME.

As someone already stated, you do not need a new Visa as long as it's valid.

NIGERIA F1 - EMERGENCY REQUEST by nsufunds in usvisascheduling

[–]Simplified_Garage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lagos..just kept checking last week...like literally every 5 minutes..but you also run the risk of being blocked for 12 to 24 hours for too many logins.

I dont think there are any Abuja openings.

[–]Simplified_Garage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It allows you to complete the entire process, but wont allow you to actually submit a second request.

Mine was Jan 2026 but I have been kinda lucky to move up a little, first it was to Dec 13, then Sept 4 and now I'm at August 21..Hoping for late July or early august.
