Hi guys!

It's been half-a-minute! Another much awaited episode on the travails of going back home to renew your F-1 visa is here! But not to worry, I gat you! In this episode, I share my own experience of going back home (to Nigeria) to renew my F-1 visa (aka student visa) and I did say a lot in the episode. So ICYM any details, kindly follow this link to a blog post where I try to give detailed steps on how to go about renewing your own student visa too. I tailored it to all international students in the US, including those from Nigeria, and those who go/went to Cornell.

Also, I feel like the 'Disclaimer' I gave at the beginning of the blogpost is longer than the post itself, haha, because it is a very much needed disclaimer! As I emphasized in the episode, before making the decision to travel to renew your visa - PLEASE TALK TO YOUR D.S.O, no matter the circumstance! Even if you think you are "out of status" still talk to them. It's in their best interest to help you!

Okayyyy, *flips hair to the back*, now that's out of the way...don't forget to again, check out this blog post for more details :)

Nowwww can we talk about me turning 27 for a hot sauna second?! T.N.I.S is now in her late twenties! C'mon now! Anyway, the whole gist of how I spent my birthday this year is in this episode too. You can also catch the video highlights here!

As always, I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording!
