MY 3 CENTS

It's tax season once again, and I recommend that international students filing their taxes for the first time avoid using Turbo Tax [because it is free]. Only F1 holders who have passed the substantial presence test in the US are allowed to utilize it. On this, I am open to correction. Happy filing!

Good day everyone..
I am presently studying a masters degree in China and I am hoping to go for my PhD in the US.
Though I have applied but have not gotten any admissions.

I want to seek your opinion about some things. I have a wife and a son in Nigeria, which I hope to travel back to Nigeria and apply for visa with them.

But, I don't know if that make any sense or is it possible to process the US visa from China?

I am still in a dilemma situation because I don't know if it make any sense to go from here or I should go and process from Nigeria.

Does it also make any sense to go with my family or I should go alone?

If I get funding that covers tuition and living expenses, do I need to present any other statement if account at the embassy for visa processing?

Please someone should orientate me.

Interview
Location - Abuja
Date - 14th Jan 2022
Vo - Windows 8... not sure jare, tension of all the denial I saw no let me see road... it's the white bald guy sha.
Funding - 6,000
Deficit - 24,100

Me - Hi, Good morning..... with a smile to get myself a bit relaxed.

Vo - Good morning, please pass me your documents.......

Vo - Have you ever travelled out of Nigeria
Me - No, I haven't

Vo - what do you currently do?
Me - I work at ******* bank in the department of *********

Vo - I can see you are going for your masters in bioengineering, so why this course
Me - Upon my return to Nigeria,  I want to work as a research scientist at the renowned Nigeria Institute of Medical research and i have done some enquiries and realized that I need a masters in bioengineering or any related field to enable me get into that position.

Vo - Are you married?
Me - No, I'm in a relationship (tension made me say that....lol)

Vo - I can see you have some funding from the physics department.
Me - Yeah... it's a Teaching assistantship funding and i will be taking 2 lab sessions in a week, I will be assisting with grading of assignments and tests for students and also preparation of course material..... (he didn't ask what I will be doing but felt the need to explain so he will know I know what my duties entail)

Vo - Your dad is paying for the balance as stated in your i20 right
Me - yes sir, he is a successful business man who is into the importation and distribution of ***. He has branches in Abia, Owerri and Enugu. He also has 4 houses in Abia and 3 in Owerri which are on rent.

Vo -  Types for what seemed like forever...... Everything seems okay, I will be approving your blah blah..... I no hear anything again.
Me - Thank you sir and have a nice day.

Ps... he didn't ask for a single document.
While all the denial were flying around I kept praying and asking God to come and do what only him can do.
I was really worried that he might ask why i haven't resumed as 6th Jan was written on my i20 and my school insisted on getting a visa before they can issue an updated i20 even though I printed email correspondence to show that I have started one online class. That means I didn't go with an extension letter even though my school had already resumed.
In all, God showed up for me and outdid himself as usual.

GAPPLE:
Good evening house.
Please I need your suggestions.
My fiance is in the US as a PhD student, he has left since two years plus ago for his MSc and just started PhD last year.

He is coming to Nigeria this year for our marriage and renewal of his F1 visa and to file for F2 visa for me.

My questions:
Should we go together for our visa interview?

How long should we wait after our marriage before we go for our interview?

Thank you all!
