Good afternoon guys, thanks for the responses for my question yesterday. Okay so I have a new update ,my mom has about 2.5 million each in 2 other other account and if i get both statements that’ll be 5million...can I use them? Or is it a red flag to present both accounts keeping in mind that the funds are low?
deficit on my I-20 is 6k(about 2million)
So what do you think guys?

As far as it is not a lump sum you can go with both.

I feel you are getting worried cos you read about statements on this thread that are 8M plus.

Your fees are almost negligible compared to the average amount an international student spends in the US. Your account statements may not be requested.

Even if they are asked, both accounts each have over 120% of the fees, and together over 240% of the fees. As far as the cash flow is stable, you do not need to worry.

What school is that?

Okay I honestly pray the vo doesn’t because I’m so worried about it �
School is North Carolina a and t
Fees and Tuition 21,100
Living expenses 9k
GA funding 24k
Deficit $6,100

Lagos-consulate
Abuja-embassy

Well, as at 11am, first available date was 9th of July

Americanpizza:

Hey, we have a WhatsApp group for ncat students if you don’t mind joining.

I need some advise please, I just discovered that my DS - 160 form has an error as I mistakenly click "Self" as the sponsor instead of a company as indicated in my i20.

I'm in a fix right now don't know what to do, my interview is on Monday.

Thanks

Its a 50 50.


Go like that
Or
Change it

The risks are same.



Safest thing is to reschedule.

TheZed:

I want yo join too

Thank you, but please why would it be a 50 - 50, even after the change? And why is rescheduling the best option?

Leonardahamba:

Okay. You can delete your number now

ProjectKay:

You're not allowed to change your DS 160 3 days before your interview.

You can be denied for misrepresentation


Reschedule and all that is behind you

Hi, been a silent follower. Visa delayed today at Lagos. I figured I can do better. Had to go make another visa fee but my status has not changed on CGI for me to get a date. Does anyone know when it will be updated. School resumes in August I believe I can get it this time

I can see 25th is Tuesday not Monday, do I stand a chance? Rescheduling would mess my other plans, what do you think sir.

As long as it is more than 3 days you can edit your DS 160

My cousin and I got fully funded offers without deficits. We both chose "self" as the person paying for trip. We both got our visas approved. Two of my friends got full funded offers too without deficits but chose "the University" as their own options. They too got their Visas approved.
I don't know if that answers your question.

Please, is this a problem?
Tuition,Living/ health Insurance - 28k
Sponsor - 45k is on the F1, (which is her account balance)

dreambound:

Oh.
That's the same issue that got a PhD applicant denied..the VO kept wondering how the sponsor would sacrifice the 70k that showed on the I20.

You need to contact the school. Tell them that the sponsor is providing 21K for her studies.

The reasoning that the school is using implies that the sponsor would empty his account for her funding, which is not normal.

Post your transcript before you pay visa fee

� already paid for the visa fee. Will post the transcript shortly. My CGI profile has not updated yet..

Please how many days does one's document(s) stay at DHL collection office after the status of "you can now pick up your document(s)" has been sent to one's mail?

From the white paper I got from embassy, I saw 30 days but I got an SMS now that it has been returned to the embassy.

seems they now put the balance of your sponsors account as the money available for you. That might be a problem. As VO will assume sponsor will advance you all that money meaning your sponsors closing balance should be like twice or threee times that amount.
I don't know your profile, but This is exactly my reason for suggesting people that are being sponsored by family members, make them deposit the funds in your account and present your own SOA if you used your own SOA to get the I20 you would have been in a better position. anyway my opinion though. Goodluck

I don't know if that answers your question.

Thanks, however, mine isn't fully funded, I have a deficit of about 40k, so I have to thread with caution before I get misunderstood.

Thanks for your response

Mehn... Down tension... Anyhow e be...

Good evening. Please who know the nearest available date for lagos consulate. I just paid the visa fee so that I’ll book an appointment.

My portal still hasn’t been updated, it still shows my passport is still at the consulate after ten days. Would I be able to book an appointment if it’s still displaying that message? Thank you.
