Ock4:
Just got admitted into University at Buffalo PhD program for fall 22(social welfare). COA 45k. Tuition 23k(waived), assistantship 20k, fellowship 8k.

My question is: I saw something about submitting a health background form(download fill etc) I want to know how to go about it - do I print the form and give to a health practitioner to fill? Without showing proof of taking those vaccines(measles and co vaccines)? (Aside Covid-19 cert of course)

- Also as POF I should submit the admission letter right? If yes - the part where the sponsor is meant to sign on the financial form do I leave that blank?

Any other advice please bring it on. Thanks

BunmiBie:

Hello Nairalanders,
I want to ask about loan for international student. I realised my school is not part of the listed school. For Mpower, or prodigy. The international loan that has my school on it has a co signer of Us Citizen. How do I go about this?

TeeD:


Declare it in the form, don't falsify facts. It helps if your school is not in the same state as said brother. I hope he's not your sponsor lol. You don't need to emphasize different mother, doesn't matter.

Just say you guys talk once in a blue moon. Don't portray to know too much about him, might give up vibes that you're going to live with him and immigrate. All the best.

Festusile:
Does that mean a company cannot sponsor her staff for studies in the US?
For me, I think a business/company account statement attached with a[b] bank letter of confirmation of the account signatory(ies) [/b] ((signatories could be director(s) and/or accountant(s)), and the signatory(ies) would sign the Financial Support Forms or affidavit as the case may be. My Opinion though!!! But if you still have any reservation or contrary opinion or experience, you may share... I am very willing to learn.

Thanks

Hello All,

Illinois Institute of Technology have what they call career decision days. It’s coming up btw April 12th and ending.

Here, based on your documentation and essay’s, you can get an accelerated Admission and scholarships up to $12k. Also GA and TA would be given. For those still looking at Fall for full ride you might want to give it a ride. Just google Illinois Institute of Technology.

RaniOpe:


Thank you.
If the date of birth on the certificate and passport is different, will that be a problem?

Only the month is different

mojolajesu:


After proper evaluation, I figured that the issue isn’t home ties. Reason because there are usually 4 home ties you could use. Professional, Marriage, Business and properties.

I use professional. I work with a Microsoft Partner here in Nigeria in line with my intended course of study.

The point is that, The VO figured that since I am on a loan, I will be tied in the US to repay the loan before coming back. That means I haven’t provided sufficient reason to come back after school.

If I have full funding, I can prove to the VO that I don’t have anything to do in the US once I am done with my studies then come back to my company to pick a managerial role based on my new degree.

I hope this helps.

chibertha:
yes it is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig problem rectify it.

RaniOpe:


How can I rectify please

Good afternoon all,
please i have a couple of questions regarding F2 visas. please don't scroll pass this...thank you

My husband is in US on F1 visa, for about a year now. he has applied for us, myself and 2 kids(minors) but getting an interview date for 3 slots is a major challenge as i have been on it for a while.
i am thinking of using alternative options but i would like to know
1) is it advisable to split the dates into two within a short period such that i go first and then take my kids along for their own interview?
2) should i use them as home tie instead and go visiting my hubby for say 2 weeks, then when i come back, i can apply for their own dates and travel with them finally( this is going to be very expensive but if i have to do it, i will)
3) should i keep hoping 3 slots will open( according to the agent helping me monitor the dates who keeps saying i should be patient)
PS: i am trying to travel before July sha (i dont want to have to renew my passport plus i wanna be with him in july )
anyway,, any helpful suggestions are needed please.
