Good morning guys, hope presenting a statement of account of a joint account won't affect my chances although I have a letter of sponsorship from my sponsor and a letter of consent from the other co-signatory

I think thats fine, in as much as u have the consent of the other signatory and letter of consent from your sponsor. I hope the account is boyant enough? if your sponsor is working you can plead for his payslip and go with it but if its business plead for the required documents. sucess on your visa

I have similar issue about the joint account issue...my mom and I are signatories to this account. How can one compose or get the letter of consent of sponsor, and what makes it authentic? Or is it the bank that issues it? Please don't mind my naivety lol
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by methodjim: 8:12am On Jun 30, 2016
well, in your case I think you only need letter of sponsorship and consent from your mom. you ll need to write this by your self. the bank does not issue letter of sponsorship or consent. the bank only issues letter of reference. if your mom is working get her payslip and be sure its the same account she is using as her salary account. if you are working too get all required documents too. if u are not working u dont need to show yours. I hope this helps. It is well

Only letter can't get this done but ability to state reason why they are all sponsoring you is what matter here..

My father is a citizen of America and has filed for citizenship for me but it's taking longer than expected, I'm about to apply to a university ( Vincennes University) as an international student, I have two questions
1) can I issue an f-1 visa and be given even though my dad is my sponsor? Or should I provide my Uncle's Soa instead
2)do I really need to submit a standardized exam at the embassy even though my school doesn't require it?
Thanks for your quick response grin

Can I please get a response
Good morning

bro that's nobody's business on here.. Its a faceless forum and you don't know what's in other peoples pocket . you only know what you know!
It's a faceless forum yet quite a number of people had met each other or one another off this thread and more and more people are still meeting as of today.

I can only tell the truth, whether you accept it or not, it's your own cup of tea.

It's okay to present a joint account statement as SOA, I did it also (presented SOA from my Sister n brother-in-law).
U only hv to draft one letter (affidavit of support), but both signatories should sign with dere names on it. I av a draft though if u need

visa delayed on Tuesday. my first experience about visa interview
well while on the que I was so confident cos my thinking was me wey don read nairaland transcript tire for more than 4 years no shaking. when interview start I dey see blue paper all through and no single white my heart one fall.there was this particular vo in window 3 the guy just dey drill applicant wey come in place and I was praying God should not make me goto window 3 but eventually was called to window 3.so here is my transcript.

note:I was really confident when I was talking and I did not stutter


vo:Gud morning
me:morning

vo:pass passport and 120 and sevis
me: I did

vo:how do u get to know about the school
me:I said I got to know about the school through my dad friend who is doing his PhD in the school and he also introduced me to Donald Robertson the director for international students services

vo: how many school do u applied to
me: I name the three schools

vo: so why did you choose southwest Minnesota state university over others

me: I said it organizes an undergraduate research conference annually this which would challenge me to develop my self academically so I can showcase my intellectual ability.and also the school tuition and living expenses are affordable compared to other school and it has a good students to faculty ratio which is 16:1.

the next thing was blue paper and one story wey I no hear self.when he stopped asking question and want to bring out paper I tot it wud be white cos it was just three questions which I answered well to my understanding.

Nb:he only looks at me when he ask questions after that he face his computer and start typing while I speak


there was another person that was denied too on NL on Tuesday after 2 questions but people didn't believe him when he posted his transcript.

typing using a bad phone so sorry for any errors. ur advice is highly needed cos I want to defer to next semester.

Sorry to read this...maybe its becoming harder. That been said this above wasnt a very good answer.

Most undergrad do research conferences so its most likely all ur other schools do it. Then to ur next reason and next faculty ratio...most schools have good ratio . So nothing stood out to make it memorable.

.next time stay away from generic answers and make it unique. U have the first 10 second to make a good impression so if they are now asking 1 or 2 questions then its key that u are on point from beggining. All the best

Goodmorning House. My visa was granted this morning . 7.30am Abuja. And that of my son's F2.I was interviewed by the lady in window 7. She had denied everybody that went to her before I was granted. So it went like this....

VO: Passports and and I-20( she looks at her system then turns to me)

VO: Why did you stay 4 months in your last visit?

Me :I went to give birth to my 2nd child.

VO: did you inform immigration about your plans? (gave me a stern look)

Me: Yes I did. I landed at Chicago and told them specifically what I was there to do. ( plus my tummy was huge. No amount of jacket for hide am).

VO: Can I see he's birth certificate?(gave her)

VO: but it's written Elpaso,why did you say Chicago?

Me: you asked about immigration. Not place of birth.
Chicago was my Poe .

Vo: Can I see your receipts? Gave her. Na so she see one discount talk say na charity o. Hmmm. I defended it with everything within me. Told her i don't know about charity, but i was told self pay patients get an authomatic discount.Regardless of whether you have the full amount. (She seemed satisfied).
VO: so which schools did you apply to?

Me: Brandeis university, Temple ,TAMU and UTA
VO: (she seemed impressed with the schools) and you
got into all these schools?
Me: No. Got a rejection from TAMU
VO : So why UTA

Me: Amongst the schools I got admitted to,UTA is the most affordable. It met my budget. Additionally, the Public Administration program in UTA has my area of interest as a specialization, which is Economic Development and Sustainable Management.
VO: What will you do after your Program?

VO : I will come back to work in the public sector,especially the department of public development mgt within the CBN or the Ministry of women affairs and Social Development.

VO: (gives me an awkward look) So is that were you work now?

ME: No. I work with a commercial Bank. But my dream is to work with the CBN.

VO: who is paying?

ME: MY HUSBAND. He's a legal practitioner,and a .......with the .........And also the MD of ..........

VO: So who looks after the kids while your in
school,since your husband will be here?

ME: MY mother inlaw has a visa, my mum will be coming to get hers. So they will take turns to come and spend time with us.
VO: (nods her head in agreement) Oh that's a very good plan.
VO: do you have family in Arlignton?
ME: No but I have in Elpaso.
VO: Ok I will be granting your visas.

At that point I wasn't even listening to other things she
kept saying. Only heard something about keep your hospital receipts for immigration.
The truth is this, I'm really bold when I talk. But, I wasn't at my best.Articulate And confident, yes! But I could hear the nervousness in my voice. Plus my 3 year old son kept distracting me. I used the times she kept typing to put myself together and gather momentum.

I posted this transcript basically for all the mamas planning to go study abroad. I was almost discouraged by some people that told me it would be difficult for me to get it, because I will need to show huge sums, and my hubby won't be regarded as a strong tie in Nigeria. I wasn't even asked to show statements, I didn't do well in my GRE so I was glad she didn't ask. But my TOEFL was fine. Guys, preparation is key. Not craming. Just let it flow naturally. Goodluck to those waiting for their interviews.
