In America, your first and last name qualify you for presidency. grin

Also the bold part isn't necessary, you are the one creating fear for yourself. It has worked out. Moreover, give your GRE first when they ask for your standardize test.
Hmmm.. thanks so much. u've been really helpful. smiley

Big thanks to you out there for your redoubtable benevolent suggestions. Am more than happiness alone.
My I-20 truely states 'family type'as sponsor.But I want to ask, how can I fill another DS-160 and submit it to replace the former one I ignorantly submitted before I came across this Blog if at all I want to use my uncle as my sponsor?
Also, my brother is the sole signatory to the company's account as owner and the managing director of the company.

So easy to fill another one. You can fill as many DS-160 as you like. Start a new application. You will get a new ID. Change the ID in your appointment page at usatraveldoc. To avoid this from repeating itself, cos it could be boring filling that multi pages DS-160. Don't submit. Just save so that you can edit later in case need arises. But, it must be submitted 48hrs before interview. 2 days before your interview date, the central database in USA will send ur DS-160 to the local database of the embassy chosen in the beginning of ur application. Immediately you hand over ur confirmation page to the VO on the D-day, he/she will pull out your application from the local database. The first few questions will be asked base on what you filled on DS-160 to check the consistency level..That's why some applicants say the VO does not ask them more than 2 questions b4 issuing refusal note. Most of the time the answers are not parallel with what they filled. They hate inconsistency with passion. Print your DS-160 application. Study everything filled in the DS-160 to avoid inconsistency on the interview day.

Since family is written on your I-20, it makes it flexible. Family is always the best cos u can decide to change sponsor to father/mother/uncle/brother/aunt anytime without changing I-20. Make sure you go to the interview with the recent bank statement (printed a week or even days b4 interview) not d one printed 3mths ago while submitting docs for I-20.If it is recent, it's a small proof itself that the account is easily accessible.Some people print a day b4 d interview.

Goodluck bro.

Yes, most PhD programs are fully funded. In fact many departments offer financial assistance only to PhD students while some others fund more PhD and less masters students. If you're awarded an assistantship, that would be great as it would cover your tuition + part/full financial expenses, and that would be a very good guarantee for your visa. Its not likely that the VO would still go ahead to demand for a bank statement if you have a full funding. If you get a partial funding, then a bank statement would be necessary. Of course, don't forget to mention your financial assistance award during the interview. Let the house throw more light on this.
Either way, if you want to go along with a bank statement to make your case solid, you may go ahead still.

Thanks a lot bigfrancis21

Even you are given full time fellowship, GA or scholarship in the US not from your home country, you will still need a bank statement. Reason is in case you don't keep to terms and the funding is withdrawn, you will have something to fall back to. Though securing the admission even outside the US is big advance but embassy will like to see something from you.

Tanx a lot imperiouxx.

My Bad! Re-sent. I also added 3 s*-a*-t* stuff. You need to have continuous access to a PC/Laptop. Otherwise, I advise that you purchase one SAT textbook and maybe add Cliffnotes Quantitative for Standardized Tests (Great lil Book - I used it to prepare for SAT years back and used it again last year for GRE).

I registered at Educational Advancement Centre(EAC) at Housing-Bodija rd. Ibadan.It cost me N19,100(registration fee) + N400(Passport photograph) = N19,500(Total).
The January registration has passed unless you have to visit GIEVA in Lagos before 18/12.It is even cheaper, it is around 14k but consider transport fare.
The March exam registration is in progress.
Whichever one you choose to do; pls go ahead.

@ollydon
yes.NO evaluation.
