Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by opeyemioguns: 9:25pm On May 31, 2021
Please help me check this out. Is it a good answer during visa appointment?

VO: How many schools did you apply to?

Me: I applied to Western alone. I got the admission early, in April, when the application window is still open for other schools. The application window at Western was actually earlier than other schools. Having compared the programs in a couple of other schools, I decided to stick with Western as the program details suit my career goals very well. I would have applied to other alternatives if Western had not accepted me.

Good morning guys ! When I wanted to start this visa processing my agent told me that I can't apply for F1 visa cause my age is above 20 . So he said I should get another Birth Certificate and I should use the new age to get my passport . I got my first passport and 2002 was written there as my DOB and I was born in 1998 cause I have this age on all my documents... Have been given admission with scholarship but am wondering if there might be any issues on my interview day ....cause the vo might ask 4 my age ...I posses two DOB now . 1998 is on my i20 while 2002 on my passport ... Am confused pls help me guys cool cool cry[color=#000000][/color]

If you want truth, I'll tell you. You're above 20 years, and "an agent" most likely with no qualification, came and told you it's impossible to apply for an F1 visa (schooling), at that age I mean an easy Google search would have given you an idea that your agent is probably more clueless than Nigerias current president. Now you're coming here when the deed has been done saying you're confused. The truth is, you're not actually confused you just need someone here to encourage you in your despicable act.

You might be lucky the VO won't ask/notice of which I highly doubt, or you might be unlucky that the VO finds out and gives you an outright ban (10 years) for falsifying documents. Because at this point I don't know how anyone can assist you, your passport and your i20 contradicts.

You're always advised never to use agents, but some of us have too much to throw to the wind.

Hello everyone please can anyone please recommend schools with full funding for PHD students. Please it’s for my brother.
Undergraduate uni LAUTECH - 3.27 /5
Masters uni. Turkey 3.2/4

Thanks in anticipation. God bless and grant everyone’s heart desire.

Which course? Your brother has got more research to do for himself. Intending to pursue a PhD is no joke, he better knows that now and start exploring the internet for opportunities.

Good luck to him.

I don’t think that’s possible. That’s why it’s good to always download and keep a copy of the form for your personal use before you submit.

Goodmorning people, please I was advised by a friend to change my Sponsor from Nigerian sponsor to relative resident in US.

Are they approving mostly US sponsors now??

And I don't have the US sponsor's Statement of account...

It is the number generated in your DS160 form. It is one of the documents required for visa application.

Please can anyone explain how much is needed as proof of funds for a masters degree of 2 years if self funded?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Vicxxy10: 12:47pm On Jun 01, 2021
It varies by school but you need to provide a statement of account that covers a year expenses if you don't have any funding

Nothing about this is cast in stone.
The deficit on your Form i-20 is the determining Factor.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Laworldz: 1:01pm On Jun 01, 2021
congratulations!
Mine was not not approved and I am going for PHD with funding and $2500 deficit.
I’m still surprised but the only thing the consular was asking about is why the course on my I20 is different from what I said I’m going for and I explained that it’s the Umbrella/ Sevis code for courses related to mine.
I already sent an email to my school explaining cuz I’m not sure I understand why he was just focused on that

I think you should have stuck to what is written on the i20 and then narrow down to your research interest. What was written on my i20 is also different from the name of program and what I filled on the DS 160, however when the VO asked for the name of the program, I said what is on the i20 and talked about my research interest in that program.

Someone also gave me same advice yesterday since I have a brother that stays in the U.S who is ready to sponsor me but I’m confused cos I used my Dad as sponsor for home tie sake. The person claimed they are approving U.S sponsored F1 students more but I don’t know how true or authentic is that

Congratulations Tayoade.

I have this challenge as well. What is on my I-20 is different from what is on my DS-160, what would you advice I do.

Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

People aren't posting transcript as often as before. It's clear that the creation of several WhatsApp groups is the reason for the decline.

But guys don't forget this Nairaland forum was your first love.

And when asked what course I'm going for, it has to be what is written on my I-20 right even with the fact that there's a letter backing it up from the school.

Don't sweat the stuff, you can use any SOA so long you have like thrice of the amount stated on your i20. And if you have scholarship, the VO mayn't even ask for the SOA.

You may explain your case to the school official who issued your i20, if it can be changed. However, if you don't get the amended i20, you may need to adhere to what is on the i20. I think each program has a code assigned to it and if there is modification about the nomemclature of the program this mayn't change on the i20. In my own case as well, the admission letter has the new nomemclature of the program while the i20 has the old nomenclature. The VO didn't however request for my admission letter.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by ItBlessing: 2:35pm On Jun 01, 2021
Thank you. Was it the course on your I-20 you input while filling your DS-160? I want to know if it needs to be the same.

Hi all..
At what point can your adult dependants apply for visiting Visa after one gets F1 approval.

Is it better for the adult dependants to apply for B1 or F2?
