@ Gongo aso & Yettidear, conratulations to u guys.

@ house, I wish you guys the very best in all your endeavours, put God first and He shall perfect all things.

There is nothing much to gist you guys about my interview, i just want to testify to God's favour. I wasn't given my visa immediately, infact i wasn't questioned concerning the usual stuffs. After exchange of greetings, the young female consular(not the person i wished for coz she refused all the 4 people she saw before me) just asked to see my I-20 and said do i have pple in us, i said yes, my brother (citizen) and mother(permanent resident). She then asked to see stuffs(bank statement then letter from his employer) from him (guess this is coz he's one of my sponsors, main sponsor was family friend/uncle - she wasn't interested in anything from him). This was the end of my interview. She became rattled, asked her collegues questions, checked her system and documents for over 15mins, she then gave me a paper for administrative processing.
I wasn't happy but i thanked God it was not an outright refusal. She said I should not bother to keep in touch, that they'd call me later , whenever. I prayed and God answered, by 9a.m next day i got a call that i shd come with my passport for my visa. Coincidentally, I saw the same lady and she apologised and told me my visa will be ready in 2 days. Thank God that can do ALL things.

@house, the issue of I-20 is rested in peace. Let us take time to read posted comments well before replying, not giving preformed answers , I had already settled for a I-20 and was thinking of keeping mute on the admission and I-20 of the other, just wanted to know if they may have prior knowledge at embassy. Thank God I finally got the ans. U guys should keep up this gud work, u're all appreciated. Happy weekend.

@ A-town, u've just answered the question, which is d embassy has no prior info. Thanx
@ rachiwise, ur answer was close, i've settled for one I-20 form already and i'm clearer on the embassy's prior knowledge issue.Thanks.

@A-town, tanx for the reply but I never mentioned that I wanted to take the two I-20 forms to the embassy, though my question hasn't been answered but it's ok, I shall sort myself out, chikena.

@ house, congrats to the guys that just got their visa and thank God for His favours, i'm believing that in 2wks i shall share my good news too by the grace of God.

Please I have two I-20forms, do u guys know if the embassy will have a prior knowledge of this? Just to make things easier i was thinking I'd just stick to having one I-20, coz the 2nd one may generate more questions i.e why leave the best school for my course for a just good school.More details of this gist are in my last post please read and reply, thanks.

@okokomeji, thanks for d reply, my brother is doing fine there, he didn't go there with student visa.
I acutally got 4 admissions and presently with two I-20 forms, one from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health but I have decided not to follow up with this coz of the cost and duration. Infact their resumption shd have passed by the time I go for interview. Will the embassy have information that I have received d 1-20 form from this school? What excuse will I give for leaving the best, no 1, school for just an equally good school, no 17, same school my brother had his master, do u think it makes sense to link his influence to this choice in addition to other academic reputations of the school.

@house, thanks to u guys for replying my mail, I really appreciate ur contributions. I would like to know if it is such a negative point to have pple in U.S, my brother is a citizen by marrige and my mum( a widow) is there too, she just got her green card.
As per the sponsor's bank statement is it the turnover or liquid cash that is important.
I'm in the medical field going for my MPH, any gist of bias towards this field? My interview is in 2wks, I will surely let u guys know abt it's outcome(positive by God's grace).
I would like guys to know and believe that it is possible with God. Isaiah43:19. Had a friend that got his visa last year without his bank statement being checked out, he was not even asked abt a lot of documents we bother urselves with, In as much as we try our best let us put God first. It is well with us all, cheers.

@house, u guys are simply wonderful, keep up the gud work. Pls, i'd like to know if i can refill my DS 156 and 158 forms coz I detected some errors and I'd like to change the name of my sponsor, this is happening 3 weeks after filling the forms. What do u guys think of this, cld they have a copy already bf d interview, esp for d DS156 with barcode.
I'd also like to know if it is the liquid cash or turn-over in account that is important. My sponsor has messed me up even before the interview claimed he used his funds for urgent biz, so maybe I'd look elsewhere or add another sponsor. Pls what amount is considered adequate if my total fees is $72,00.
Please I'd like to know what a single never married lady with no landed properties, few relatives around cld use to convince them that she is gonna come back. All i've got is a stable job with moderate pay and shares in a few banks that was tangible then but amount to little now. This is my case please help me review it critically, thanks.
