I don’t really get this. But if I understand, the F1 want to show his own proof of fund; and also the F2 also wants to show hers SEPARATELY?

I thought it’s the F1 that would should that to the school before he’s being issued i20, and it would reflect on the i20 that he’s coming with someone that he would ‘take care’ of. Without the F1 showing adequate funds for both i20 won’t be given out.

If you also want her to be part of the sponsor, submit her details to the school, so that her name would reflect on the i20, with that the VO would easily see that it’s dual sponsorship which it’s bad (base on its F1 and F2).

Clear or I complicate things?

Good evening.

August 22? Which school are you going to?

lokoventurex1:
Hello good people,

Please I need a one on one guide on how to fill my DS-160. I reside in Oshodi, Lagos . I will appreciate a vast person assistance. My resumption date is August 22.

I'll take care of the person transport fare and a token for coming.

@xxxScholar, you could also come in abeg...

Considering your age, the VO may just conclude you are just migrating. If it's possible apply to a school in Europe, you'll stand a better chance. However, if you still want to take your chances with US, apply for a four year nursing program in university or liberal arts college.

ledesba07:
Hello, beautiful people! Anyone here got into any school in Tennessee? Also, is there anyone here who recently got his visa?

MTSU here

When I decided to apply to schools, I assumed I won't be given assistantship, so the other option is acquiring a mpower or prodigy finance loan. I only applied to schools being considered by either of these 2 loan agencies. However, it is mostly believed that if a visa officer understands that you acquired a loan to fund your graduate studies, it takes out from the credibility of your application.

Is it possible to acquire a mpower loan, then present a rich sponsor on interview day as the one who takes care of the deficit?

How do we convince the visa officer about our abilities to finance the deficit, without making it obvious that the solution to the deficit is the loan we acquired?

The reality is it is not all of us that will be given assistantship, so how do we convince the visa officer?

Na so.
When you meet some Nigerians in diaspora, you will realize that it's in them to hide info. They will even give you wrong info to confuse you. They will lie about their place of work and etc. I just tire. One was even saying he got admission in 'bleep University'

Moshkom:


Not to sound rude or anyhow SIR. Like, you want people to ‘help’ you with their opinions on your transcript and you’re ‘HIDING’ common SCHOOL NAME? Yeah, COMMON! Even thou, it’s private. No na. Help yourself too boss.

What if it’s the school that’s the problem? And the bosses here would easily ‘detect’ and tell you “Ah! Na the school na”. Oh! You don’t want ‘US’ to apply to the school? LMAO.

Don’t forget we’ve MORE THAN 4000 Graduates Schools in USA. Just to let you know ‘OUR’ birds have enough space to fly.

PS: Sorry for the denial boss, you try again. NA WHO GIVE UP; F**K UP!

GOOD LUCK in your next attempt Champ!!!!

Gokoyer1401:

As in ehn boss, I shared the transcript with some of my folks, below is their different reactions and replies:

“ I still don't get why people hide schools they apply to”

“ Makes no sense to me”

“ The more Nigerians you have in your school. The better for you”

“ You want to be the only black student?”

“ Where you Wan get garri from?”

“ Why do people hoard their school like "indomien" abeg? Wouldn't you even want more people from your home country you can relate with? Ontop 3k funding sef mtcheeeeewwww
Nawa

“I feel answering questions not asked is another reason he was denied. Who asked him/her to say "I have also been to Italy, Sweden"? What if VO only heard "Italy" and thinks he/she is contracting him/herself?”

“ I not fit pay shishi application fee for any other country graduate School wey schools reach more than 4000 for USA; Ah go come dey waste €100 for one school for Netherlands? Me? No way; Nah ehm person dey hide school for us?“


GOD NO GO SHAME US sha.

Good afternoon dear. I applied to same school and did interview but no update yet.When did you apply and when was admission decision released? Is it advisable I mail them ?

decorum003:
Hi please I need a way forward, I applied to Northeastern university and I have been admitted, proceed with applying for Loan with Mpower Finance which I was also approved.
Now my question how do I go about it from here I really need people that has been approved of I-20 with Mpower Loan approved application form I will really appreciate the way forward on This. Because i want to be sure if the Mpower Loan approved form is enough to get I-20 from my admitted school

Is this answer enough?
I'd be glad if you could provide an elaborate answer as to how the bvn guarantees the loan repayment.

sbot:


How would you pay back or what guarantee do you have?

You did submit your BVN.

emmanuelle27:
Hello bro congrats on your admission/Funding.
If the Funding doesn't cover for your dependents, apply for the TETFUND schoolarship to cater for them, it's not greed because you need it as you'll have to show proof of funds for them, tell the school to send you an updated I-20 reflecting your dependents and it's cost, you then use the TETFUND money to offset the bills, contact your grad cord to see if the school can leave your funding after deferment because I'll advice you defair to Fall'22 to afford you ample time to put everything in place both the TETFUND schoolarship, New I-20 and visa applications, that's my opinion, wish you the best

Thank you so much,

I have deferred to fall. My GTA was updated to two semesters, but my deficit remiains around 26k.

illumined999333:

It’s somewhat similar to Social Security Number(SSN) in the sense that banks could carry out direct debits on all of your accounts linked to the same BVN.

Do find a way around convincing them that it’s impossible to run away once your BVN is linked.

Cheers!

Thank you my friend.

As usual, I walked into the interview hall with the hope and believe that God will change my story the secondtime. I had my first US interview 3 years back on Visiting visa and this time around, I decided to go for F1. I applied for MBA at one private school in USA.
My one year estimation tuition and accommodation is $30,000 with $3000 scholarship from my school and my sponsoring bank statement of $34000.



Please, who can advise me on why I was rejected my visa. I have travelled to 6 countries. I was only one that was denied Visa among the number of white people that came for visa.

Do you have a PR in Germany?? your transcript isn't detailed but I'm guessing that you're in Germany on a work visa, if that's the case then you have no strong ties in Germany, I'm guessing that it might be more beneficial for you to apply from NG. My opinion, na V.O get final decision.

Good afternoon , Pls this is for a friend

Sure if their school is enlisted in mpower database.

Albeit, it isn’t advisable a PHD is run on loans as it is highly expensive. So many schools provide full funding for PHD.

Cheers!

Please, I got admission to study chemistry at the university of arkansas at little rock. I have been asked to provide proof of funds. And my family got a loan. The school is asking for a bank reference letter showing proof of funds. I was wondering if anybody here paid tuition before I -20 was released.

You are not required to pay tuition.

Simply go to your bank and inform them that you require a reference letter stating your available balance (Reference Letter with Balance), for a fee of 500 naira (GTBank)

It includes the bank letterhead, signature, and official stamp.

Goodluck.
