F1 Student Visa

I intend going for US F1 student visa interview, I've tried to get information on most of the documents required but there is one that i just don't understand. They say the interviewing officer is to assume that every applicant is an immigrant and it is your duty to prove otherwise, the problem is I don't know what documents exactly is needed to prove that I don't want to immigrate. I've gotten all sorts of info from differents sites and organisations but none seems to be consistent, some say you must have a fat bank account, land document, investment certificates, job offer in your home country when you return, inheritance from your folks, the list goes on.

For those who have passed through this interview, what exactly did you take along with you to prove you are not an intending immigrant? did you have all documents mentioned above?

If no documents are needed then what are you to tell the interviewer to convince him/her that you just want to go study?

Your help would be highly appreciated here.

1. Admission letter from your school
2. Form I-20 issued by the school
3. Form I-134 Affidavit of Support - Ask your sponsor to fill it out in attesting that you will not be a public charge to the US. government
4. Proof of payment of the semester's tuition - and accommodation (Accommodation if you will be living on campus or will not be living with family in the US.)
5. Proof of intent to return (And come up with as many as is available to you based on your family's assets/establishment in Nigeria) - Letter from a bonafide company in Nigeria, stating that they will employ you when you return (if possible); Title documents to house(s), land(s) or other real estate that you or your family may own; letter from your employer (if you are working) stating that you will return; your parents' bank statements

You can be as inventive as you like with regards to documents that will prove/show intent that you will return. Each applicant has different resources available to them and you may have more (or less) than what is listed above.

Depending on what you are going to study in the US., let the consular officer know how beneficial it will be to return to Nigeria with that degree (e.g. setting up a business, working for a specific company etc).

All the best.

To be truthfully what you produce matters but what is most important is what they don't ask you for.Let me explain Like you said every person applying is a potential immigrant but they can't refuse everybody so they do it on a balance of probabilities. It is all well and good to have document proving your course of studies , what you really need to proof is that you will come back after studying or as they say have strong ties to Nigeria, this includes and is not limited to financial(money, houses, mortgage), emotional(married with children) and any other thing which will bring you back to Nigeria.

@@@ Consultant {An Asshole}

Who da mess you think you are? How dare you insult me ?  Have you ever done business with me before? Is it because you are in the states and don't want to help your fellow brothers in Africa? Fuck you asshole.

I have been in the US , California Los Angeles, Indiana , New York for 3 Fucking Years. so i have Connections  and i am willing to help people expecially Nigerians go abroad .

So mess offf my Business ,  You sucks

Name, i  don't think selling a product to Nigerians is a way of helping them. If  you want to help why don't you give out the letter free, afterall an Authentic Invitation Letter alone does not mean that the usa consular will issue one a visa.

let me first thank all those that contributed to this topic. I must say the US embassy has a larger than life image, that's why I created this topic in the first place. On getting there it was a different thing entirely, the Visa officers were so friendly I knew I had nothing to worry about, the interview didn't even last upto two minutes, the visa officer only asked to see my bank statement and no other document and asked me what i was going to do after my masters, told her and voila! visa approved.

bro abeg link me self up about the stuff i like to , do so ,
plz help me because i need some info.
