I'll advice that you don't recommend any transfer services to him. He should go to his school international students' centre and ask which they prefer for tuition transfer. That is why this centre is created within every university and college in the US.

This being said, you could also try "Flywire.com" they offer such services globally.
Godspeed!

Do you get nervous at your job? lol . I am sure you are kidding with that statement. VO has met 100s of applicant, and meeting another and another will not shift their emotional stand.

GboyegaD:


One good tip to tense yourself is to remind yourself you are going to have a conversation. If that doesn't help, then see yourself as a celebrity and the VO as one of your fan who is dying to have a conversation with you. Remember that the VO is as nervous as you are so relax and make yourself comfortable.

LolaCole1:
Hello, please is it possible to apply for F1 US visa while visiting canada?

That could be a bit tough however, you can give it a trial. I know friends who came to Canada to renew their US Study visas and some who went to Mexico to renew. Why are you applying from Canada though cos it may be very difficult to prove home ties when applying from a country different from yours on a visit visa.

I am not kidding and fact remains that at an interview, both the interviewed and the interviewer are nervous. Why is the interview in place if not to ensure that only the right persons are granted visas? How are you absolutely sure the person you think you want to approve is the right person? The only difference is that in this case, they are quick to play on people's nervousness.

CuteRedd:
VO is nervous ke why if u may ask?

To be sure they get the right persons.

CuteRedd:
VO is nervous ke why if u may ask?

Nervous might be too strong a word to use by him but logically the VOs priority is to give visas to students with genuine interest in learning and 'RETURNING' home only!! So this puts them at somewhat very dicey situation of giving visas to worthy applicants. So a lot of psychological calculations is ongoing during the interview. The only advantage they have is they have being trained to hide their emotions during this short nervy moment. That's why visa interview is very subjective.

slamcole:
Good afternoon here. Visa approved today at the US consulate in Abuja this morning. Here's my transcript

ME: Good morning ma'am (with a wry smile)
VO: passport and 1-20 please.


VO: why USM
ME: It is classified as a R1 institution by the Carnegie foundation. And the Biological Science department has a diverse approach to their graduate program where researches provide solutions to problems affecting one health

VO: number of schools applied to
ME: 3. I named them.

VO: Why the choice of USM
ME: Aside from the fact that I got a GA, there's also am ongoing research in the lab of Prof **** which is in line with my background as a veterinarian.(not sure I mentioned the scope of the research)

VO; Do you have a letter from the school indicating the funding offered.
ME: YES. Gave it to her

VO: What similarities are there between your background as a vet and molecular biology
ME: As a practicing Vet, an added Knowledge of molecular biology will not only help me better diagnose animal diseases but also develop preventive and curative approaches to the disease, with emphasis on zoonotic diseases.

VO: Plan after graduation
ME: Upon completion of the MSC, I'll have acquired adequate research knowledge, and practical exposure as to enable me pick up a faculty position made available to best graduating students like me from my alma matter upon my return to Nigeria.

VO: Travelled out of the country before.
ME: No I've had no reason to go out of Nigeria

VO: Do you have any relatives or siblings in the US
ME: no I don't

VO: Congratulations, I'll be approving your visa

Congratulations man!

Hope others can also connect this blessing.

Good luck to Tuesday interviewees!

sensisosu:
what are the documents needed to take for the interview ?

GUYS ANSWER ME PLEASE

Perhaps, "VO are often "uncertain and doubtful"" would have been it. I understand him though. We are just sharing ideas, and he is right. VO ain't sure whether the person they are approving is right or wrong--even after approving the visa.

Hello guyz.
I need responds to this pls.
I graduated from high school since 2014 about four years ago and it took me 2years to get into the university, I am in my year 2, but my sponsor wants me to leave the country now. What should I tell them at the embassy? Am 20years. My course is psychology in Houston community college.

Pls Admins look into it and react.

My only reaction would be the challenge that your sponsor is the one wanting you to leave which isn't convincing enough to get a visa. That said, while working towards studying abroad, do not let your education back home suffer.

Olawale008888:
I wasn't told to bring any extra documents the man just circled the location where i would get my visa and when i checked now its on AP....e don tey wey i don even hear of people on AP...i would send my transcript soon...the AP just destabilized me

Don't let that bother you. It is just a phase in the process.

Visa denial: National Assembly summons US ambassador

https://punchng.com/breaking-visa-denial-national-assembly-summons-us-ambassador/

If anyone is going to Minnesota state University, Mankato and needs a house. Contact me. Thank you.

Lol....... blah blah blah......

If they like, they should summon Trump too if they can. It won't change their stance towards who they allow into their country. Afterall, it's their country for crying out loud.

I won't deny seeing this.... although you may be right in your opinion that it is their country, but there are bilateral agreement between nations which give them access to each other's soil, either to visit, work, or whichever one that suits both parties.

If there is anywhere our citizens are getting it wrong over there, the US Ambassador should attend the meeting, be blunt with his response, the media will be there to let the world hear from him, whatsoever is causing the increase in the rate of refusals lately, (although, we have an hint of the reasons, but sometimes, our leaders need to hear it from an outsider before acting when necessary).

If they don't want our students over there again, they should stop receiving visa fees, 'for crying out loud'. I don't think you have started the process, if you know how much resources involved especially to those who applied to more than a school, you will think deep before responding in that manner.


So, please, my brother/sister, be cautious and ambassadorial in your response as a citizen of Nigeria.

We all want the best for each other, that is why this platform was created.

Your school in the US is in best position to suggest how money could be transferred. Please contact the centre for international students at your school. I am sure they will guide you. That's where you'll get the answer, not here.

Just state your reasons in the letter (that your program start date is near) and you need sufficient time to make travel plans. For addressing it, a "Dear Sir/Ma" will do.

Attach your I-20 too

Thanks to all yours reply they are very helpful.
