PLEASE HELP! Good evening everyone! I have a very important question as regards bank statement. Can one use two separate bank statements? That is, when the one used in applying for graduate school at the initial stage is different from that which is tendered at the embassy? |

LazyFolk: Ï think that's not possible because the bank statement you issued during your application process would have been entered on the SEVIS web and same will be printed on your I-20... "remember your i20 Will be required at the point of your visa interview.... So I wondered how that can be possible. 1 Like |

Please Help I have an I20 which i was supposed to use in August but i couldnt make it to the interview. I asked the school to send me a new i20 and admission letter but they said i can use the old i20, and they will just send me a new admission letter. Right now i have the new admissiom letter and old I20 ( different resumption date.) Can i proceed to the embassy with such documents ? 2 Likes |

[quote author=yemiosinbajo post=82358401] Where did you hear the emboldened? If that was your experience, I can authoritatively tell you that this is not the case in every school.[/quote I don't need to hear before saying that, it's a matter of experience, tho personal anyway... I want to believe I-20 carries your sponsors name and it's bank statement amount. Just few questions (1) Did you "in person" use two bank statement? (2) Did you not submit proof of financial capability before the release of your I-20? And was same not on ur I-20?me Betteree from things that may reduce the chances of visa approval. (3) I think I'll like to know those schools with an exception. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Pharmz(m): 9:09am On Sep 19, 2019 |
Leone26: Smile.....bro, how can you inform the school that Mr A is your sponsor and you later go to the consulate to use Mr B as your sponsor. If you are a visa officer...what will be your reaction? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Milkshakes01(f): 10:42am On Sep 19, 2019 |
You can, If and only if the name of your sponsor is not written boldly on your I-20. LazyFolk: 3 Likes |

[quote author=Pharmz post=82366972][/quote] I think the say applies to only when your sponsor's name is indicated on the I-20 using another SOA will make it complicated only if it's written as 'family' for example then i think one can use any other family member SOA at the embassy 1 Like |

Pharmz: So far Family is entered as your source of funding on your I-20 (which is the case in most schools), you can use a different statement. Just make sure it's genuine. |

Americanpizza:ALL my African guys in Chemistry department got full funding this fall. I don't know about the availability of funding for Spring but I do know you have a really good chance as long as your overall application is impressive. ETSU is pretty generous. We work for them and we get a degree almost for FREE I wish you all the best. 7 Likes |

Olalekank: I am the wrong person because I have a bias against law... I feel it's a suffer head degree both in Nigeria, USA and UK in the terms that the after job opportunities are very limited ...going back to the topic Law in the US is like medicine. It is not a first degree but a second degree so you do your 4 years law program after a 4 years first degree so essentially 8 years of schooling.... that all I know really |

VISA Issued transcript (46 days on AP) So here it is, I’m not very good at telling stories but the whole idea of schooling in the USA started in 2014 while in the university of Ibadan I have cousins and family there that have never even been to Nigeria so I always knew I would like to school there, Fast forward to 2017 during NYSC I started following the initial rudiments of writing necessary tests for admission in USA, wrote Toefl gre and before the end of service last year I had applied to two different programs at OU-university of Oklahoma, guess what ? I was denied, first, I applied for MSC geology , denied Applied for transfer admission using my degree(more like direct entry) denied again, same school same department, I knew the issue was my CGPA obviously, had 309 in GRE, 98 in Toefl, sterling SOP(even wrote for a friend that got in) But that 2nd class lower cgpa ehn, did me strong thing, looks high on Unibadan’s 7 point grade but quite low 2:2 on 4 and 5 point grades Getting fraustrated because I really wanted a school in Oklahoma. Main reason- my people Dey there ! So I applied, again to another uni in Oklahoma, university of central oklahoma, I didn’t bother with masters, I just applied straight for transfer to my choice department. I got admission in December 2018, resumption too close for comfort I deferred to spring 2019, July 2019 I received my I-20 with a letter of scholarship of about $5000 per session. 5th of August 2019 I attended my first Visa interview at ABUJA embassy After all the long checking in and procedures I met the VO, very short interview(exchanged pleasantries) VO: pass me your I-20. I did VO: oh I see here, university of central Oklahoma So where did you learn about this school Me: I checked online and learnt about it on USNews (I actually found out from a cousin that went there but to avoid immigration talks) VO: so why are going for this course ( energy economics) Me: I learnt about a position open for applicants with a degree in geology with a background in finance while I was working at the ministry of energy and mineral resources for my NYSC, I believe having this degree combined with my geology degree would give me a good chance and also place me in good standing for my MBA (No questions about why another degree , zanku inside my head) VO: who is going to pay for this and can I see any financial documents backing it ME: my uncle (while passing her my SOA and letter of sponsorship ) I also got a scholarship from the school even though I didn’t apply VO: (looking closer at the I-20) oh I see that here and I see it’s about $5000 Me: yes, I also have made a payment of $2400 as tuition deposit ( I passed her the reciept from the school for that) She looked at it passed it back and the letter and kept the statement of account which had about 101m naira in it with. ARM investments VO: did you take any standardized tests I didn’t hear that so she repeated (I just laughed inside because I was about to show her GRE which is meant for a masters course) I passed it to her she looked impressed and passed it back I am approving your visa (passed me a white paper and another small sheet with instructions for POE) VO: I’m going to have to hold on to the statement of account for verification.... she went on about fraud all the banning things, I just nodded and smiled, she didn’t even mention AP. I tracked online later that day only to see AP. Aug 5 and resumption was Aug 19th. Fast forward to today, I just checked and found it issued after the long annoying wait, was updated on 26th of August long after I had deferred till December. Then issued today. Before you think it, I know this transcript and interview is super weird but I thank God for answers to prayers and for the victory at last. P.S I had always been silent here except once before my interview and a few times after, but I thank everyone that have answered my questions here even though I didnt know what to ask as my case was so different from everyone’s so I just prepared myself from the past transcripts to know what they usually ask and from my Retired professor uncle in university of Oklahoma. It’s been a great journey and cheers to more success. 29 Likes 3 Shares |
