Guys, could anyone recommend a loan i could get for my first year?

My bank statement is not enough.

MFinance, Prodigy, SBI, and Avancee checked. Most of them do no support Western Illinois University.

Please, do recommend a company that gives loan in three-four days.

Many thanks.

Please explain the second paragraph
Schrodinger1:


No! It is free. You will not pay another visa fee. Go and fill a new DS-160 with Abuja as your new Location, update the new confirmation number on your Visa appointment page.

Raw fact: you can use your DS-160 with Lagos indicated as a location and Abuja as your place of interview. It is very allowed. Your info will just be transferred from Lagos to Abuja on the day of your interview.

If you have utilized all your chances for requesting emergency date and yet the dates you got are far from your resumption date what else can you do?
Like your resumption is july and the emergency date is October and you can't request again. What other option is left?
Schrodinger1:
Guys, I have come to observe that many applicants have the proclivity of taking an action before coming here to ask questions about the same steps or actions they have taken. This attitude is absurd, improper and analogous to putting the cart before the horse. Let's try to refrain from that habit.

My advise is for you to ask your questions here first, to clarify all doubts, before going to take a decision or step that could have negative consequences in the application process, in the long term. However, if you are not uncertain about what to do, asking becomes irrelevant, do proceed.

In addition, There's also no need to patronize agents, most of them are not as sound as you think, and probably never had admission, funding or Visa to study in the US for themselves. Just last week, I was contacted by someone here to help secure an emergency appointment after her agent could not do the needful as he doesn't know the process.

All you need to excel in this hustle, is on this thread. Drop your questions and probably mention the experienced guys that are frequently here along with the questions.

Best of luck in your forth coming interviews.

You want to collect loans to WIU? It is better to collect loans to a top university with great ROI.

I have submitted ds-160, but I have not pick a date for interview. In the ds-160, I indicated lagos. What's is the right to do if I chose to have the interview at Abuja.

I worked at DNA lab, the first private lab to be accredited by NCDC for covid 19 PCR test in Nigeria..

We want many student travelling out for their study to come and do their covid 19 PCR test at our lab, we have discount price for student only and also reward effort of referral

I want to create awareness for them to come to our lab for the test..

They can contact me on whatsapp 08093726070 for proper enquiries/information they might need..

Prosnelson:

Thank you very much, but what if I look for an immediate family member with the same surname may be getting a loan approval letter from bank will that be okay?

That might not solve your problem.
$59k is too high for an international student without funding. Even native Americans cannot afford that amount without the help of financial aids. The V.O will continue to see you as someone who will abandon school and join street.

You still have time. Forget about fall admission. Look for another well ranked and accredited schools with lower cost of attendance or look for schools that will give you funding. Then reapply for visa.
