justifiable and believable are two things ........ Believable is more key . If your question is Hope this explanation is believable ??...nobody can answer that as it is subjective to the ear who hears it ... One VO might accept it another VO might not . You can only hope the ears you tell accept it .

Thanks LagosismyHome. It is what it is.

LagosismyHome:
Your question should have been asked at the beginning ..........at this point it best to be consistent , so stick with Friend and be ready to justify why a friend will spend soo much ... That usually odd

But Friend and Uncle are not the same so go with what your i20 states

Thank you LagosismyHome.

So the sponsor is our family friend who has been supporting my education for over 15years now since my high school days and through out my undergraduate studies. He's into Oil and Gas business and has proven financial power to cater for masters program.

Hope this explanation is justifiable?

smithsydny:
how long have u been on this thread?

About 2weeks now.

smithsydny:
his your uncle that what u will say OK..

Don't complicate your self. Biko. Wen dey ask what he does he give details simpu

But I already tagged him as a friend on the financial affidavit of support sent to the school and on my i-20 it was stated as "Friends funds". Will it be wise to now regard him as my Uncle on the DS-160 form?

Kindly advise.

aadeyi:
It would be best if you tag him/her as your Uncle/Aunt and be ready to explain why he/she will be spending so much on you and what your relationship is like. My 2cent

I already tagged him as a friend on the financial affidavit of support sent to the school and on my i-20 it was stated as "Friends funds". Will it be wise to now regard him as my Uncle on the DS-160 form?

Kindly advise.

smithsydny:
if they ask u who is sponsoring you what will be your reply? Let's see

VO: whose your sponsor?

You: family friend.

How does it sound?

Our family friend who has been supporting my education for over 15years now since my high school days and through out my undergraduate studies. He's into Oil and Gas business and has proven financial power to cater for masters program.

Or is my sponsor has to be relative?

Good morning, please a family friend would be sponsoring my masters program, hope this won't pose a serious threat to my visa approval at the embassy. Please I need your suggestions urgently as my interview is slated for Next week Monday.

Please what should i do?
