Good evening guys. A friend is inviting me to the US and hes taking care of the airfare. He sent me his credit card reading. Do i need a separate account statement from him for the B2 Visa interview ?

I have also printed my account statement. Urgent suggestions needed.

Take your prescription along just in case, you might be randomly selected for a baggage check, they would need to know what the drugs are for, it's not going to stop your entry into the US.

hello guys, I got my visa approved around June and will be leaving for the united states around mid-August. I have a medical problem, I am an hypertension patient and have been placed on hypertension-controlled medications. the medication is a lot and I am planning on taking medication that will last me for three months. The fear I have is the scrutiny and the questions I will face at the point of entry and how to answer questions bothering the medication at the point of entry. Moreover, I will like to know if anyone has been in this situation before and how best were able to maneuver this situation at the point of entry and at the united states since I need to see a physician in the united states and I was told insurance is not cheap.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by tellbiodun(f): 3:59am On Jul 29, 2023
Good day Nairalanders,

Please, how do I respond to this part of the graduate application form? I do not have funds and I have dependents. If I respond in the positive, and provide a bank statement, does it affect my chances of getting a graduate assistantship? It is for a PHD admission in communication for Spring term. Please urgent response is required.

The information below is required to issue an I-20. If you answer "yes" to any of the first five questions you will not be required to fill out the financial affidavit form or provide a bank document. If you have funds or dependents, filling out the financial affidavit form and providing a bank document is required.

How will you be funding yourself?
Do you have funds? Yes No
Dependents
Do you plan to bring dependents? Yes No
Which of the following funds do you have?
Other
The Affidavit of Financial Support form is fillable except for the signature section (this part must be signed by the person that is providing the funds). Choose the appropriate financial affidavit to download, complete and upload to your application. http://www.k-state.edu/grad/admissions/application-process/international/

Please be sure to list ALL dependents on The Affidavit of Financial Support and sign the form. Submitting your application without The Affidavit of Financial Support or without a signature will delay review of your application.

Hello sis,
I saw your comment about proposed unoversites for msc data analytics?
Are you studying Data analytics in US?

Apart from this two schools Texas tech and Uni of Nebraska Omaha, what other schools can I try for msc data analytics? I am looking for schools that are less competitive to get scholarship and OPT. I am really keen on scholarship or some form of tuition fee waiver.

Another question is that, which one should I go for btw data science and data analytics? I'm thinking about post study life.

Thanks as I await your reply.
yinkhar:


Check Texas tech university, university of Nebraska at Omaha for data analytics

Hello house, do we have anyone going to Maine, from London Heathrow airport?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Laparoscopyguru: 12:27pm On Jul 30, 2023
Hello House,

Thanks to all the great info on this platform. I have pertinent questions to ask, and I am hoping to get suitable answers.

I first put my application for a J1 visa sometime in July/Aug. last year but had been unable to get any interviews until this year August. That means the initial DS160 applications i had filled since last year July for both I and my dependent is what is still in the systems. Do you think this still suffices given that I have had to get a new DS2019 and change of start dates? (I was to have started in August last year). Is it possible to fill a new DS 160 application for my interview.

Secondly my dependent is my 17-year-old son who will be interviewing with me. He will be getting into 200L med. (private uni. here) in sept (next session). He has already gotten admitted into pre-med in the US. Pls house, do you think we should be silent on this? since he is coming under a J2? what are the likely questions we should expect especially for him. Pls note that I have been on this visa issue since last year June/July when he just finished secondary school but because we couldn't get any interview dates till this year, he had to start uni here last year and has just completed his first year here.

Please I will appreciate any advice on what we are to expect, how to prepare and if I need to do a new DS160 for both of us.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Sisib15: 1:29pm On Jul 30, 2023
Congratulations in advance!
Please don't disclose that you child will be going to medical school during the interview because J2 visa holders are just like f2 in which they are not allowed to work but they can only go to language schools and volunteer. During your interview, you can say your son is just accompany you there for support three weeks and he will be coming back home to continue his studies.

These are my opinions. You can quote other gurus like bigiyanga

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to travel to the State for a postdoc fellowship, and I'm made to understand that I'm to apply for a J1 visa. I see that there are some processing fees I need to pay for such as, SEVIS and application fee. Aside from this, are there other fees one need to pay for? Thanks

Hello house, please I just stumbled on this thread and I have a few questions.

1. Is there a thread for potential graduate students? If yes can someone share the link.

2. I will like to do WES evaluation and need some insight from those who have evaluated their credentials.

Thanks in advance

I take God beg Una pls be careful o A friend of mine in the US just called that her friend (not someone I know personally) went for her interview today, she was self sponsored but the agent had edited her i-20 to show that she was funded by the school. She was granted the visa but it seems the VO checked the i-20 on his system after she left and realized there were two different things. They called her back using a public address system and the VO asked for her funding letter which she could not provide, he then collected her white paper, returned her passport /gave her 221g administrative processing letter and told her to send them the funding letter via the consulate email, ofcourse they will confirm from the school. I don’t think I need to tell you that this ll probably end in a visa ban. Agent is telling her to write email to school now to beg them for funding, even if it’s 5k.. see how crazy that sounds? He don commot hand. This will put the school, Nigerians in general, and even funded students on
Agent don chop money and japa . What Naija agents dont do and undo dont exist lol

Truth is, I dont know much about j2 visa restrictions. How many years of stay does her J1 visa give her?
Does she have to show POF for her son’s pre-med school?

I know of someone on J1 visa and his kids are attending public school… but I don't know what restrictions (legal and administrative ) they may face during college application.

Hello guys, I need someone to be brutally honest with me.

I was given admission into two schools for MSC Accounting, now the issue is:

Interview is in august the 17th. First school starts August 19th. School will not extend I-20 or give letter of extension to me. That is the same school I filled in my DS-160 form for visa interview. I also intend on going for the interview with my two kids both on F2.
Also, second school starts August 28th. What are my options?
Should I update my interview profile with the I-20 from the second school and go alone to the interview without my kids? because I can only update my profile with the new ds-160 number. It does not allow me to update my kids ds-160 forms in the online profile.
OR differ my admission to spring to properly get an earlier date and prepare for school.

I will appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

cc: justwise, MemoriesAndMe, sobastical, yinkhar, Amazon2190,

If you go with the last option, you can update your dependents DS 160 number on the cgi profile by calling them
