You need to indicate that you bringing a dependent on your I-20.

The bolded is wrong. View attachment for clarification.

Since he is a US citizen, I am saying he wouldn’t require a visa

Yes, that should do, but then consider doing GRE

And someone already suggested Iowa state university. Then try coin your interest in your statement of purpose away from where you had low grades to where you had high grades. It helps.

Thanks bro. I just checked my results and I did 24 animal science courses with a total of 44 units grin. I got 13As, 7Bs, 2Es, 1C and 1D. I think that should do or what do you think.

I'm still searching for schools but if you have any one in mind please share.

I appreciate your support so far. Thanks and God bless you.

Ok ooo.

On means, you can send it on that very 28 of February.
About means, you can send it before the very 28 of February of around that period.

So to be on a safe side, send it before 28 or on 28.

Thank you for the help so far.

I got a PhD admission to MCB at Ohio University with full tuition waiver and teaching assistantship. My i-20 came in last week and there was no deficit. However, I was asked to hold $2k for initial survival.
Stated on the i-20, program starts August 12, 2020
Class begins August 24, 2020
Earliest admission date: july 13, 2020.

MY ENQUIRIES:
1. Can I go ahead and pay my SEVIS fee now? Who can you refer to help me with making the payment in USA?

2. Should I go ahead and make my Visa payment and pick an appointment date now? Won't it be too early considering that August is the resumption. If not, when will be the right time to apply?


Thank you

Please, how can one move from being on a wait-list to getting admitted?

Hey house

I was just admitted to my uni of choice for fall 2020, Mnsu, and my i20 is ready to shipped.

My question is how soon can I go to the embassy for the f1 visa interview, for fall 2020. If I go next month, will be too early?

There is actually nothing you can do about getting yourself out from waitlist.

Just be praying and fasting so hard that someone or multiple people drop their offer from that your department while you hope that you are ranked high on the waitlist to be taken off the waitlist.

If I may ask, were you waitlisted because of funding?

3. What are my chances at obtaining a Visa. I'm married with a kid and I have over 4yrs experience in my field. I am 28years old

4. Attached is an extract of my i-20 for perusal and suggestions.

Thank you

(1)You can go ahead and pay your sevis fee at this time since you have everything handy (I-20). You can pm Walspring on here, I think he help people pay for sevis fee.

(2) You can go ahead and book your visa interview but make sure It’s within 120 days to the start of your program indicated on your I-20.

(3) Nobody here can predict ur chances of getting the visa cos we r not visa officers. Just prepare and build your confidence level n convince the VO to approve your visa. Furthermore, being married n having a kid is a plus for you cos ur home ties r strong with them back home in Nigeria.

Good luck.

You can only pick a date not less than 120 days to the start of your program.

Advice please....
Choice of Spring semester was because of the timing of my programs here in Nigeria.

Nobody here can tell you if you have chances of funding or not for the Spring 2021.

If I were you, the rational thing to do is to email the public health dept of the various schools you listed here and ask them if they fund admitted students for the Spring semester.

I don't think it's funding issue because PhD programs are usually funded

It is for funding.

Some people are also admitted into PhD programs without funding especially those who apply after deadline for seeking GA elapsed.

In your case you are on waitlist because they have admitted their cohorts for the Fall 2020 and put you and some others on waitlist. What that entails is that if any person(s) reject their funded offer after April 15, they will then move to those on waitlist and make offers of admission and assistantship.
