Cameroon often referred to as Africa in miniature due to its rich cultural diversity, varied climate, and linguistic duality, being both English and French-speaking. With a growing number of students seeking higher education abroad, Cameroonian students face major challenges paying their SEVIS fee due to limited access to USD cards, strict forex regulations, and reliance on unsafe informal channels.
These hurdles often lead to delays, overpayment, or missed U.S. visa appointments. Meet Loveline, who found Pay4Me on Chatgpt and her journey in paying her SEVIS fees.
Can you introduce yourself and tell us what program you'll be studying in the USA?
My name is Loveline Ndzi. I’m from Cameroon, and I will be studying for a Master’s degree in Agricultural Education and Leadership at Oklahoma State University.
How did you first hear about the Pay4Me App?
I first heard about the Pay4Me App from ChatGPT.
What payment did you use the Pay4Me App for, and what made you choose the platform?
I used the Pay4Me App to pay my SEVIS fee. The main reason I chose the platform was because I had no other available payment method at the time. When I told my elder brother about it, he encouraged me to go ahead with it.
You mentioned you were worried that you might have been scammed. What made you feel that way initially?
I wasn’t worried at first until I received a message from MTN three days after my PowerPay transaction. The message said it was not successful and advised me to check my account balance or contact the admin. I checked my balance, and the money was gone. I decided to visit the MTN office in Douala, and the lady there checked the system and confirmed that my money had been delivered to PowerPay.
However, she cautioned me that such transactions can be risky because they are not easily traceable. That made me afraid. But after praying about it, I felt peace in my spirit. I’m also very grateful to the Pay4Me customer service team. I sent them a screenshot of the MTN message, and they replied promptly, reassuring me that they had received the money and that my SEVIS fee payment was in progress. I sent them several follow-up messages, and they always responded, which gave me confidence.
How did Pay4Me reassure you?
The Pay4Me support team reassured me by confirming they had received my payment. That boosted my confidence. I was so excited the day I finally received an email confirming that my SEVIS fee had been successfully paid.
What was your experience like using the free mock visa interview service?
I didn’t expect anything like a free mock visa interview, so it was a pleasant surprise. Listening to other F1 students and how they were preparing for their visa interviews really boosted my confidence. The mock interview helped build my confidence and gave me a clearer understanding of what the visa officer would expect from me.
Did you learn anything new about scholarships or other opportunities during your visa prep?
Yes, I was encouraged to apply for a student assistantship, which I did.
In what ways did Pay4Me boost your confidence throughout the study abroad process?
Although I am yet to commence my studies, Pay4Me has already been a great support. Their responsiveness and helpful services have boosted my confidence throughout the process.
What advice would you give to other Cameroonian or African students considering using Pay4Me?
Pay4Me is a legitimate platform, and their services are excellent. They genuinely care about your success, not just your money.
Would you recommend Pay4Me to your friends or others planning to study abroad?
Yes, I would definitely recommend Pay4Me because, in my opinion, it is a solution to all your financial transaction needs abroad.
Any final message to the Pay4Me team?
I just want to say thank you and encourage you to keep up the good work.
