You wont get a receipt and you dont need one

Hello everyone! Thank you for all the information and help here, it has really been helpful. Please I have a question - someone in the US helped me pay for my $185 visa application fee with her card but I didn't get an email notification for any payment receipt yet I'm able to log in to book a date in my AVITS portal. Please any suggestions on how I can access the receipt since it's part of the requirements of what I'm taking along for the visa interview. Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for your response. That means I can go ahead and use it fill the I20 request financial certification form from my school right?

Hey 🤠

1. The USA embassy financial verification policy is different to those of Canada, UK, and Australia where you have to deposit or leave money for certain period of time. But of recent, the USA embassy now prefers (not compulsory) that the money from funders to have been deposited at least 4-months prior to your VISA interview.

2. Yes wait for your funder to deposit the money and print out the statements accordingly but USA embassy will verify it and traced the sources except if the consular did not demand for it. Dont ask me how is that possible withing 10 munites of my interview "

Good morning everyone. Once again, I'm grateful for all the help I've received here so far. Please I have another question. My sponsor is a business man, his current account balance is not enough to cover my COA but said he's waiting for some money to get in today. Can I still print his account statement after receiving the money? I hope there won't be any issues with the fact that the money just got into his account today and the statement printed the same day?

Thanks for this. I've sent them an email already. The current proof of fund I have is not be enough to cover fully for my COA, can I use a non blood relation's account that can cover for it?

chidiakwari:
I would advice you to request for an I-20 with the proof of funds you have (not the GA since you are yet to get an official letter that details what is covered).

The reason, I mentioned this is because what you would be needing is an update of your I-20 and not a new I-20. They might honor an update.

Also, it is good that you emailed them for an extension of submission. But I will go ahead and request for one now.

thank you for this. I've done as you've said.

TitilayoAde:
Email the international student office about this new development and ask for an extension (don't forget to attach proof of the GA position, maybe a congratulatory email). I'm confident you gonna meet up with resumption for August. Maybe you should ask for a request for an emergency interview date. Congratulations, you are a step closer to your dream!

Hello everyone! I appreciate all the help and insight we get from here, God bless you all big.

I posted recently about my inability to secure a GA position and I was advised to defer my admission if I'm unable to get a sponsor.

I recently was able to secure a GA position that waives my tuition and they should send me an offer letter hopefully by Monday. Here's my question, my i20 request forms expires on Monday and I have not filled it yet as the GA position is one the major sources I'm depending on for my graduate school funding. What's the possibility of still meeting up most especially as regards securing an interview date? Georgia Tech resumes by August. Would you still advise I go on and try my luck?

Thank you so much for this, It was very helpful

Hey 🤠


1. Defer your admission as you have reasoned but focus on that professor who have shown interest in your works by continue communication as she is very likely expecting a grant-award.

2. That does not mean that you should tie your academic-life only to that school. Keep emailing related departments in other schools and target the staff profiles for accessible professors. Your works has a good GA omen since one USA professor have shown interest.

3. If however you have passion to continue your academic at G TECH without the GA, then you can find a sponsor who will stand for you by providing his or her financial evidence (bank statement, affidavit of support, etc) in order for you to secure your Form I-20.

4. Then in your DS-160 , you can indicate awaiting GA by printing out your correspondence with the professor
who showed interest, and also explain verbally to the consular on the day of your F1-VISA interview.

Good evening everyone. Please I need your help. I once posted here about being admitted into an MSc program at Georgia Tech but couldn't secure any funding.

I thought I'd defer the admission till next year and continue seeking GA opportunities but I recently got an email from one of the professors I mailed who told me that she loves my work but she currently doesn't have anything to offer but could make something happen by the fall semester. She asked that I reach back to her by early August.

Here are some of my concerns: She asked me to message her by early August but everything concerning registration for my program ends by July. They sent me the form link to get my i20 form over a month ago but I can't fill it out because I don't have any funding source to fill in it. Please what would you advise in this situation? Should I reach back to her and let her know that getting back to her in August might be too late? Or is there anything you think I can do to just pass this phase, is there probably an alternative way to fill the i20 to get me past this stage? Please your advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm quite new to the whole l process, please pardon me if I'm sounding too cliche. Thank you!!!!

Hello everyone!

My name is Adeolu, I'm new here and also quite new to the graduate school application process. I applied to 3 schools in the US which include Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, and Illinois State University. I recently got an admission offer from Georgia Tech but I am confused about the next step forward.

Out of the 3 schools I applied to, Georgia Tech is my most preferred option but it doesn't come readily with funding. From the letter I got, I read that you have to source the funding yourself as a master's student.

Can I accept the offer from Georgia Tech and later abandon it if I get a fully funded offer from the other schools I applied to(I've not gotten an admission decision from them yet)?

If I accept Georgia Tech's offer what exactly is the next step I'm meant to take, especially in looking for funding?
I don't have any sponsor and I am new to the whole process. Please what are the necessary steps I should start taking now that can help me move forward in this journey?

Thank you and God bless you!

Did you get one and how? Lost mine today

Please where can I get just the case, I misplaced my case too. I'm in Lagos

Serious about this? Kindly PM me

brolanre:
please,I need this guy's contact for an African Arts Project about to kick off.

Its a project work and part of the task of the is to make sure the tree is still alive, so the tree is actually not dead like you projected and still serving its purpose.

beatcoins:
How many trees has he planted as a student whose work is depend on tress?

I may sound bizarre to a lot of people for comment I'm about to make but I don't care.

Tree felling & tree carving are an abomination. If you fell a tree, plant one to replace it. Trees are the connection (trunk & root) between the living and the dead and local witches know this. What does the life of a tree teach us? If you sacrifice a seed and lose it to the ground, the seed dies and comes back to life as a tree.

It may come as a surprise to know that Zuma Rock was one an ancient giant tree cut down by the nephthalims. (Before you argue, please do an extensive research on this). Why did the ancient giants cut down these trees that sour high into the heavens? If you don't believe these stories and think it's not real, then explain where the story of Jack and the beanstalk came to be. It's the same story of giants and trees that are depicted in avatar. Anyways, that's another story for another day.

Do your research. Leave trees alone. You are destroying a vital part of ecosystem. When you cut down or destroy trees, you are destroying free oxygen, high temperature regulators and a chain of ecosystem.

First Life Tree Carving In The History Of Nigeria Institution

Here's Ibukun Emmanuel and his work. He made a life tree carving of the Oba of Benin, the first ever in the history of Nigerian Institution. He's a student of the department of sculpture in school of art and industrial design, Auchi polytechnic, Auchi

the first storey building is close to the ocean hence making all wells dug around there salty except for the one in the compound that has remained pure tasteless for years. Welcome to badagry!

Just saw this on my wall now decided to share with you guys.



MY TAKE ON THE TIWA SAVAGE SAGA
Like most sagas or scandals, people talk. Most times we all just talk, my self inclusive.
But how many ever stop to say a word of prayer for people going through such. I mean take out time and just pray for them?
I even hear TIWA, is or was one of us, that is someone who once sang in church or perhaps knows the Lord. (Not so sure how true though)
The more I grow, the more I learn not to criticise what I don't understand. And in fact, from the bible, also learnt that how one reacts determines also what happens to one, sooner or later. That's why the best thing to do is take out time to pray at such a time. I remember doing same when I heard about some famous believers who'd gone through something similar.
So can we just pray that this crisis will be an opportunity for TIWA and her husband to encounter CHRIST afresh? And pray specifically for TIWA that Jesus would reveal himself anew to her, and turn this into a revival in her life. And pray that her husband will come to the saving knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus. And also use this time to pray for every music minister and preacher going through storms in their lives and ministries that they'll encounter the PRINCE of PEACE, JESUS.
I don't know about you, it would be my joy to see TIWA come out of this strong and changed, declaring her faith in Jesus and using all that talent for him; singing the praises of our God and king alone.
That would delve a major blow to the kingdom of darkness. Won't it? So saints, let's pray more and talk less.
God bless you all.

nice one there, which school is this please...

I think I'll be using music as an illustration here. there are some secular music we christian choose and convert to gospel music(we call it gospel version of such music). the question is what is the essence of singing in church? I guess one of the reasons should be to glorify God, how do we glorify God when we are not connected to him? and I think why we are not connected to him is because of the SOURCE of the music music we are singing. A song is either inspired by God or the devil(no middle ground). in church when we are singing any of Don Moen's song there is this heavenly connection and feeling the song brings to us why? because of its source. It is inspired by God but if we should take this song NO JESUS NO LIFE, gospel version of NO WOMAN NO LIFE by BOB MARLEY do we still have the same feeling? NO, why? its because what comes to your mind at first when you hear the song is BOB MARLEY. Is he a gospel artist? No, is the song a gospel song? No. to cut long story short I don't think you have the same same feeling when singing this songs because of the limitations. I think same is applicable to dance today. dancing shoki in today, there's no how we won't think of the SOURCE. just thinking shaaa....
