KingsleyUmeh:
Someone pls answer : when the VO asks you to pass your i-20, does he look at only tuition fee or the Total cost of Attendance (which are room and Bord expenses, textbooks, etc) in comparison with the bank statements

Good morning house.
I'm new here.
I'll love to post my transcript. Visa delayed
Lagos consulate
June 11th

Vo: good morning with a smile
Me good morning. Smiled
Vo pass your I 20 and passport
Me. Did
Vo -- straight up, can I see a letter backing up your assistantship
Me: sure, so... I search for my funding letter o, took almost a minute.
Vo (while I was still searching for the letters) you're doing your masters? (With an irritated face or so)
Me yes, my final defence is in 2 weeks. Then I gave him the letters
Vo scrutinizes letter.
Plus, I gave him 3 letters. (Funding and contract award letter. Guess that's part of my mistake)
Vo does the letter cover all the 70k dolls,
Me yes, my funding covers all my tuition and stipends for the first semester and will be renewed for subsequent semesters.
Vo. No, you're not answering my question. Is your funding all the 70k dols?
Me. No, my uncle is paying for the rest, do you want to see his bank statements,
Vo no
Vo have you travelled out before
Me no, I haven't have the reason too, till now.
Vo, where does your uncle stay
Me. Lagos, ikorodu.
Vo.. Blabla..not eligible for the visa now... Blablabla.


OK guys, this was my first time. Please, I really need advice. I'm picking abuja this time and I need to get it right. Please gurus in the house, kindly help me.

Brown2Green:


Is this a question or an experience?

Americanpizza:
So what are you trying to say.... Just want to know yulour bullet point.n

KingsleyUmeh:


Its a question. I want to know if the money you have in your Bank statement should equal the tuition fees only or total cost of attendance

segunbolawole:
It just occurred to me and I'm just suggesting.

Is Ikorodu, Lagos the address on the SOA? Cause it carries the address of the account owner and maybe we give full answers when asked any question. Perhaps that caused the denial..

What do you think Gurus

BeefWeb:
Hello Asking for a Friend. She had a 17k scholarship, On her I-20 estimated average cost for 12 months is 38k, student funding for a year is 17k scholarship plus 38k from sponsor making 55k. Is that okay?

Thank you.

Pepperoni001:

Ashby:
Hello, am new to this platform and got referred by my bro...
Please, I need clarification on whether all those schools are totally free or partly free and also, what are the things required for a full scholarship.
Pleases guys, any help is much appreciated

Americanpizza:
Please help, who know the available days available at abuja consulate.

Olumuyiwalasode:

i really dont think it should matter, for instance, i put his work address in the DS 160, different from the one on the bank statement, so i put the name of his company as address, then the location as city, so if I'm asked, I'll mention where he lives, and also location of his company. Location of sponsor can't be the cause of the denial

fairheart:
If you wanna pay today, PM me.

Davidkking:

My uncle in US is with the money......he said he'll pay tomorrow.....I just hope it works out

Brown2Green:


This is what has caused lots of issues for people.

That figure keeps increasing.
Is the sponsor giving her the 38k dollars?

BeefWeb:
It would be used to cover the deficits and she'll give the remaining to her to sustain herself. The SOA would cover the 38k she said. But the actual deficit is 21k

dreambound:

She may mean the tuition deficit is 21K.
How is she able to drop 38K to 21K

Or do you mean 21k is on the I20 buh sponsor is showing 38K funds?

BeefWeb:
She has a full tuition scholarship of 17k leaving her with other expenses which is 21k. But on the I20 attached to the sponsors name is 38k. Which is way higher than the actual deficit of 21k. But she said the sponsor's SOA covers the 38k tho

Brown2Green:


I know 2 people on this thread that was denied for this reason.

The VO kept saying the uncle can never be able to foot the bill for one of them.

The scholarship is supposed to reduce the deficit but the school used the closing balance of the SOA which was very huge so it looked like the total deficit is huge.

BeefWeb:
So what's the solution?

Brown2Green:



I believe you filled a financial statement form, where it was asked how much your sponsor would support you with?


There is barely time to request a new I20. If not the best option is to let the office reflect the exact deficit from the SOA on the I20 and not the closing balance

BeefWeb:
