My husband was my sponsor too and i went with my child. some of these things dont have a clear cut answer. I have seen a a couple with a child all go together and all got. I have also seen the lady go with the child and the husband was given F2 later. PhD aint an easy journey and if the baby is very young, they might all give it a try since she has full funding. Many questions might be asked but be prepared for questions related to funding for the family.

Hello House,

Please I need all the bosses opinion on this.

A friend got admitted for a fully funded PhD, she already started online classes. She intends to go with her child. But she wants to apply for visa with the husband as well, so the husband can come when he is ready. Note: The husband has no plans to stay in the US, he intends to be visiting. The husband is the sponsor for the dependents (himself and the baby).

Is it okay for the husband to be the sponsor in this case?
And is it fine for them to apply together?

Hey everyone.

Good evening all. I applied to University of Boston but did not send my documents, i wanted to differ till fall 2021.

But they kept sending me emails about sending my Transcript. Now i want to send it and start this Spring. My school starts January 2nd 2021.

My question now is:

Can i send My Transcript, get an admission decision, book an F1 visa interview and get an Interview appointment all in December (ie Like between December 5th and 30th)?
My school starts January 2nd?

I pushed it to December so i can work on my Finance.

I seriously need an expert opinion. I like to start school immediately.

Thanks and God bless everyone.

Cocao:


How did you get this appointment? This Abuja people and their undercover appointments.

Good luck to you !

Schedule normal appointment on any date, then request emergency appointment after. They'll get back to you.

Nairalanders in the US pls I need your advice.

I am about to complete my masters program in cell biology but plan to start another degree in nursing but my study permit expires in may 2021. My question is, will I still be in status when I start another program or will it affect my Visa? How do you advice I go about this.

Thanks for your response in advance

when you gain the nursing admission tell your DSO to transfer your Sevis to the new school. It shouldn’t be an issue

I doubt if this is possible.

Good evening my people

Please I need your advise from experienced ppl in this thread.

If your company wants to give you an introduction letter for your F1 visa who should the letter be addressed to.

Hi dear, can I ask for the emergency appointment even if it's not 60 days before my start date?

Mine is this SEVIS. I have logged in severally to check the status and was never told it had expired. I played in September last year.

HisEminence:


I did that by sending a mail to the consulate in Abuja, stating my reasons. And they replied

Please I need email of Abuja consulate

Consular General, if you a re attending Lagos.

Select 1-20 if it's for F1 visa

Hello Sharon,

Please can I call you?
I really need to make my sevis payment but it seems not to go through. The column for the city isn't giving me lagos. Though I'm thinking it's school address but they didn't specify.

Could you please drop your number so I can call you?

Thank you.

You cannot make SEVIS payment within Nigeria. I guess that's why you didn't see Lagos as one of the city options. Contact Walspring to help you with that.

Hello House,

Please I need all the bosses opinion on this.

A friend got admitted for a fully funded PhD, she already started online classes. She intends to go with her child.

I advise the lady and the child apply first. The husband can apply later maybe after 6 months that the madam is in the US already. It might be easier if the Husband was the principal applicant

Hello everyone,

Kindly give your honest advice or opinion in this issue:

If you had the option to choose either Ireland or US for an IT Masters course; all things being equal where both offered 100% scholarship with monthly stipends and both visas are given.

Where would be your preferred location and why?

Please answer honestly for someone's sake.

Thanks

Why is it seeming that this "friend" is you?

If you can't answer questions, ignore it
You can simply direct him/her to the thread or better still provide answers. That's why this platform was created

If you read the thread from 20 pages back, you won’t ask this questions

Great insight

I had the interview on the 16th October, 2020.


I booked a room at a hotel about 2.7km from the consulate. I also was fortunate to meet a driver who agreed to drive me to the consulate at 5am sharp...amd he kept his word... I almost felt goosebumps when he called me 4:59am.
Anyways, I arrived few minutes afterwards with some 5 interviewees waiting. We weren't attended to until few minutes past 6am.

Heads-up... please get all your documents and reciprocity fee ready. Some who came quite early had to fall out of the line to get their stuffs set... And trust the "boys" waiting to overbill you for your unpreparedness.
Shortly, we were ushered in and checked thoroughly and I began to fall back from my 2nd position in line to abt 5th (apparently, a razor was detected in my wallet which I had no premonition about)
Well, I entered sha...verifications and all. My ds160 was for Abuja and upon knowing, I was asked to wait so it can be retrieved to lagos' database. At this time, I was no 17th.
Gladly the consular official (I think he's the infamous Chinese) was just issuing visa o... Abt 14 plus... Only 1 got a yellow slip. I guess he took a break and another dude took over. And fast forward to me... Here it went thus..

Me: good morning
VO: yea, morning, your documents please
Me: hands over

VO: why are you going to US?
Me: I'm going to pursue a Masters degree in Engineering with concentration in petr....

VO: Why this school?
Me: well, besides the fact that it's among the top 10, the....

VO: I know, but why this particular one and not the other 9?
Me: OK, the works of prof... Quite aligns with mine interest and...

VO: so, who's sponsoring you?
Me: I was offered a research assistantship position which caters for the tuition and comes with stipends for my living expenses..

VO: are you married
Me: no

VO: do you have children
Me: no

... VO muted the microphone and started speaking with his colleague saying somethings like.. Yeah he's genuine and all and he's into a research program blah blah... Las Las...
VO : I intend to issue you a visa, go pay at counter 22 ensure your i-20 is with you blah blah...

Me: thank you.. God bless.

I'm profoundly grateful to my friend Prosper for the mockup interviews.. I don't know how to thank my God enough really.

Thanks so much for this. This is really really appreciated. I'm grateful�

ZionSpecie:

You just have to use what is available for you. A very strong reason why the person is spending almost all his money on you will do. If it's your parent, that will be easy. Otherwise the person must be so indebted to you either because of how your parentsvgor him to where he is, or he has been the one footing your school bills from time.
There could be many more reasons though

I'll advise you apply with your child for now. Since your hubby is the sponsor, it "might" raise some questions in the VO's mind if he is also applying to go with you. He can always apply for F2 after you've gone. He has the right to miss his wife and child, so going on a visit shouldn't be a problem to the VO. This is just to be safe though

Has anyone scheduled an interview appointment recently? Are interview dates available for Dec and Jan?

drDoom3:


Schedule normal appointment on any date, then request emergency appointment after. They'll get back to you.

come share transcript oo

Please what documents should I take along with me while going to make my payment at gt bank

Lagos Consulate has started rescheduling date for those who their appointments got cancelled. I have been scheduled to 6/11.
