If you are yet to come into the US, prodigy is better off.
Mpower deals strictly with immigrants so they need strong proof that you'll be successful in America...

That's why it is advised you have foots on ground, have done a year of studying (you are likely to complete the 2yr program), have done an internship (so at graduation, a job is more likely) and your past work history gives an indication of your future.

To your question, YES, the loan can be used to support "anything"... living cost, fees, car purchase, relocation for internship or full-time work and so on.

Chiremi:
Someone help me with this please. On my DS-160 I filled that I will be sponsoring my trip, and on my 1-20 my father is paying my deficit. Is this something I should be worried with? If so can it be changed?

Hello good people,

I have sent a deferral message to my school to defer my admission to the next admission window. They have now replied me to choose my preferred deferral term. I don't want to stress them again. My initial resumption date is Spring semester which commences January 18th, but am not mentally ready to face the visa interview stunts.

I'm now considering Fall semester. What month does fall semester commences. This will help me to re-adjust my schedules ane map out things before time.

I need to reply my school now abeg..

cliffton:
So I went for my F1 visa interview today. I got the white paper but the VO told me she will be placing me on administrative processing until am able to ask my school to give me a new i20 with the TA I said they gave me in fall 2021.

But i think she didn't really hear me well. I told her i had a TA but couldn't continue due to the fact that I didn't get an early date.

Please what could this mean gurus?

rastaraj:
Pls gurus,i really need a response to this...if its not a document it could be any likely question the VO could ask to confirm if she's truly my sister.

mojolajesu:
Please who has paid servis recently?

My sister in the US is having issues paying it. Any help

Timotte:
If you have a US Western Union account (you can create one online), login to your account. At the top of the homepage, click on "Pay bills". It will take you to a page where you have to search for the biller. Type in "U S Bank DHS" (make sure to give a space between the U and S; for some reasons, their system won't find it if you don't give a space). Next, put in the amount ($350) and your account number as listed in your SEVIS coupon. Under the "Attention field", you can put "SEVISFEE". Then click on pay with debit/credit card. It will take you to the payment page where you input your debit/credit card details and then review and make the payment. Payment reflects immediately and can be confirmed on the www.fmjfee.com. Hope this helps.

KeriBaby:
Thank you so much for your response, may I ask how much Sevis and Visa fee is? Do you know? Thanks again

So I applied to some schools in the US by myself and after I received 2 rejection mails I decided to work with an agency and applied to some schools in the UK, couple of days ago I received a mail from one of the schools in the US and I’ve been given admission, meanwhile I’m yet to hear from the agency concerning the UK schools I applied to even tho they’re assuring me that I’m going to gain admission. Now my confusion is, should I start processing the US admission? They require me to submit POF asap as their deadline for i-20 visa shipment is December 3rd and classes start by January, do y’all think this US thing is achievable given the timeframe, are they still giving out interview dates this year? I’m very confused as I’m running out of time while waiting for the UK admission.

What are your thoughts ?

Sun1shyne:
Thanks for the response, but I'm curious. Did you mean you were admitted for Fall 2022 or Spring 2022?

Canada2021:
Good afternoon all,

I just got admitted into the University of Arizona for the 2022 fall semester. However, I am sad that I was not given any form of scholarship to reduce the expenses.

I want to find out if it is feasible to be given visa without getting scholarship.

xxxscholar:
Visa Approved.

White VO

Before I start sharing my transcript, I have to say that Nairaland was very helpful to me during my preparations, I took out time to read almost every transcript that has been posted here. Thank you to every single person that has dropped their transcript here. This is why I am posting mine here, less than 1 hour after I was approved.

Secondly, I think the DS-160 form is very important, make sure you fill in every single detail in that form and be very consistent with the information you have there during the interview.


TRANSCRIPT.

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning.


Me: ( As I was doing my fingerprint): Sorry ma, I am a bit nervous, today is my birthday and my first time here too (. I wasn’t really nervous, just wanted her to know it was my birthday)
VO: (With a smile), ohh, Happy Birthday.
Me: Thank you


VO: I can see you are going to Western Illinois University for a Masters programme in Statistics?
Me; It’s actually Applied Statistics and Decision Analytics, but my i20 states Statistics, I reached out to the school and they said that’s what’s recognized on SEVIS.
VO: Yeah, that fine.


VO: What do you do currently?
Me: I run a Digital Marketing agency, we offer services **********

VO: What do you mean by ‘run’. Do you own the agency?
Me: Yes, I am a co-founder.

VO: Who will be taking care of the company in your absence:
Me: My wife will be in charge, she is a partner. (information already in my DS160)

VO: Oh, She’s not going with you?
Me: Yes, she will stay back.

VO: How many staff are in your company?
Me; 7 (information already in my DS160)

VO: Who’s your sponsor?
Me: My mother

VO: What does she do?
Me: She owns an event management company.

She started typing for like 2 minutes and then the golden words “ You Visa has been approved” and she gave me the white paper.


ONCE AGAIN;

Do not fill your DS160 form carelessly, be very detailed and meticulous about it and please be consistent.

Also, while sitting down, I was directly facing the Korean Man. The first question he will always ask is “Have you traveled outside Nigeria before?”. I was lowkey praying that he shouldn’t interview me and then the white woman called for the next person and I quickly rushed to her.

Good luck to every applicant yet to be interviewed. What God cannot do does not exist.

Adejal:
It's not advisable...I'm talking from experience. Maybe you should confirm first from your school but some schools don't accept it like the one I applied to.

bukhety:

VO: pass me your document
Me: I passed all documents.
VO: have u been to the US before?
Me:No
VO: why PhD and not Msc?
Me: I am more interested in core research and my research interest cuts across various areas of Geoscience. Hence, a PhD is a best fit for me as it will give me the needed time to cover these areas effectively.
VO: what is your highest qualification?
Me: I hold a Bsc in Geology from Federal University Gusau.
VO: congratulations I will be approving your visa...passes me the white paper.
Me: I just went blank
