Azeez baba, I also have the same situation as u, though the reason I deferred my admission to Spring 2015 was because I needed more time to prepare. So January 2015 would be just fine for me but I wan ask oo.. Do u have ur I20 for Spring 2015 admission with u now? I'm asking so that I know when to expect mine (Sep or Oct).

Are you saying you have been admitted into NC A&T State University or that you got admitted in another school for Fall 2014 and now deferred till Spring 2015?

I don't have my Spring 2015 I-20 yet, I was told it will be ready by early october. So by October ending, it should have reached me

Very interesting as I was also admitted for fall 2014 but deferred till spring 2015 because my admission letter came very late due to delays in WES evaluation. How does one get funding from them though?

I filled a Student Assistantship form which I have since submitted. Deadline for funding application is Mid September

Please, is it possible that the embassy contacts banks to verify the existence or genuiness of a sponsor's account when they put you on administrative processing & retain ur bank statement of account? #teamSpring2015

pls don't go to the embassy with olouwole packagings. Odikwa very risky. They may only want to verify only if they suspect the statement don't look original.

And my next question is; can banks reveal your account details to the 3rd party, like ur account balance?
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by aanowai(m): 10:26pm On Aug 24, 2014
teddyrain: talk to the officer responsible for that. I think most schools would want to see your financial docs.

Financial docs again? I already sent that earlier when I was applying for Fall 2014 admission. Are u saying, I will have to send another one?

Femicrux: Hello guys,

Pls, how does one pay for SEVIS fee with the new CBN policy allowing Nigerians send money via Western Union? Surely, I do not think one needs to travel to SEME border anymore.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by yomisley: 11:38pm On Aug 24, 2014
if bank will release your acct balance to some who claim his from embassy, then ur money is not safe, these people re crazy.. them dey go verify person acct.. the only time they verify is when they suspect your document and other stuff
teddyrain: sure! But it has to be permissible and approved by the account owner.

It is something you can do in 3 days so far as the lecturers are available. Now that recommendation is electronic and done online, ie their emails you included on your application, the schools will send links to requesting them to recommend you online. It is left to you to lobby them and see that they respond quickly to the email and do the recommendation.

Sometimes i wonder why Africans are being manipulated. I feel very disappointed and angry. The referee is clearly a racist so she disallowed our goal and deprived us from winning the Cup and also making history. FIFA is just a business agency.

The I-765 form is for the purpose of filing for Work Authorization or EAD. Basically, as an international student you generally cannot file for EAD except under these conditions:

1) You are filing for economic hardship or changes in economic situation back home. You'll need to have studied for at least 1 year in the US to be eligible to file for I-765. You will also need to prove that your economic situation back home(sponsor's loss in financial funds, lost his job, died recently, negative changes in exchange rates etc) and/or here has changed for the worse that you need work authorization to be able to work off campus to financially support yourself.

2) You are filing for OPT, on completion of course work.
http://www.uscis.gov/eir/visa-guide/f-1-opt-optional-practical-training/understanding-f-1-opt-requirements

3) You are an asylum applicant who filed for asylum of which after 150 days your case is still pending for a final decision.
http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum

4) Your visa status is about to be/has recently changed to immigrant status, such as through marriage, but you are still in the process of making your stay permanent, then you are eligible to file for work authorization to enable you work in the meantime.

The EAD is valid for 1 year after which you'll need to renew it, that is if your visa status in the US still remains nonimmigrant during all that time. Generally it takes about 2 to 3 months to be issued to the applicant.

I'm wrong indeed. Look let me tell you, it's not only when a gun is pointed at you that you'll know you've been robbed. In football, there are so many ways of robbing an opponent and unfortunately the girls were robbed today. I've been following football since I was 5. Why didn't FIFA show replay as usual? This type of situation can lead to fans fighting in the stadium. This is US thread so I will stop here.

That's interesting. Please share the link to the form with me & who did you send it to after completing it. My expectation (based on the info on the graduate school page) was that every prospective student was considered for assistantships automatically. Didn't know I could also apply directly.
Thanks.
