mr swagger: See bro, Going to the Embassy on the 29th of August with a resumption date of 20th of August on your i-20 is AUTOMATIC DENIAL..

So you will need to take permission from the school and get an extension letter from them in other for you to resume late.. Believe me, even if they grant you the extension letter approval it will be for only 1 week.. And by then it won't still be convenient for u as well and you won't still meet up for fall.

And besides MSU won't allow you to resume by september..

But you can email them and Try your luck, the best I know they will do is to defer your admission to spring 2014. And before doing that they will tell you to register with EducationUSA before they can review your application.

bigfrancis21: @Bolded...your sister must really be worth her onions if she wants to get into the top 10 universities in US. She must be very intelligent and must score near-perfect, if not perfect, scores on the SAT and/or TOEFL. She must also have excellent WAEC/NECO results and if applicable, excellent high school transcripts. Such schools are extremely competitive and even your excellent track record doesn't guarantee you admission. If she satisfies or can satisfy these conditions, let her go ahead.

And if I may ask, what's her course of study?

If she doesn't satisfy these conditions, but she's got something upstairs, then she should apply to above-average universities, especially publicly funded universities as you requested. So far as the school has got 'university' in its name, then she's good to go.

Unfortunately I can't give you a list as these lists change in relation to the course. Harvard may be number 1 in Medicine but rank number 10 in Engineering.

Some schools do request for upfront/partial payment of tuition fees before they release their I-20s to their students, especially Nigerian students. This is a precautionary measure to ensure that only the actually serious Nigerian students are given I-20s. Such schools have experienced issuing out several I20s only in the end to have a few students actually showing up at the school. Many Nigerians who are not serious about studying who want to get into the US, get admissions and use the student visa route to escape Nigeria, get into the US, and never report at their school. So upfront tuition payment from prospective Nigerians is a check to ensure that the serious ones get issued admissions and i20s. If you're not serious about studying in the first place, will you go ahead and pay hundreds of dollars in part tuition fees?

So if she's serious about studying, the school itself is good, and she likes the school then she can go ahead with the application, and pay the part payment fees.

bigfrancis21: @Bolded...Kunle that is your greatest undoing. Adults from 25 and over going for undergraduate study are a big no-no for the VOs let alone someone of 30+ years. How do you intend to catch up when you left high school over 14 years ago? (I'm assuming you're 32 and you left high school at 18). When the US educational system leaves no chances for gaps in education? These and many others are exactly what run in the minds of VOs when they meet cases like yours. Your type of case is not a case the VO will be willing to grant visas except you have a very cogent reason.

Please for your own sake and improved chances of getting the US visa, forget your paroles whatsoever of undergraduate study and switch to masters. Apply for masters to a good school that has 'university' in its name. Write either GRE or TOEFL and go back again. Your next interview story here will be a success story. I can assure you that.

fadinus: It is possible, the former application may not matter, as long as u are able to defend the reason why you need to go for the conference and how the conference relates to your field of study/interest.

tzetzefly: @christianmark,

Na die be that cos I don't wanna shift that date for any reason. I just need help on d possibility to scale tru

You ended up jamming your message with someone else's making it all inconsistent. You're new with the site i presume..?

To answer your question, you better change your F-1 visa interview appointment date from 08/04/2013 to a convenient date after you receive your new i-20 from the school. Don't give the VO a reason to deny your application.

That is what they (VOs) are looking to do......

tzetzefly: House am goin for my f1 interview on monday wit an expired i20 dou the school sent me an email indicating that they will send me another i20 so I intend to give them the letter along side wit the i20. The mail goes like dis: since you cannot get a date till 8th of april we will have to differ your admission and send u a new i20 hope it gets to you before ur interview. Pls is this email ok. Pls if not how should the email look like to increase my chances



From all indication, you work and earn income this is a good start. You also have social tie to the country in form of marriage and two(2) kids a good sign as well.

All you now need to do is provide your previous travel history if any, to be favourably seen in the best light by the CO.

Meanwhile, your job duties and job specifications are a necessity to satisfy the CO. Make sure you're well prepared in this area.

Furthermore, your sister cannot sponsor you as you are an adult and should be able to cater for yourself without soliciting for funds from relatives.

Your 1.2m should serve you just fine. Endeavour to prioritise your budget.

All the best.....
