TJ0987:3 rejection sounds bad. What is your academic profile like? How is your SOP and recommendation? If you do 4 schools and 3 rejects, then you need to look at what has caused the rejections. Did you apply to tier 1 universities? |

kastgeraldino: Not necessarily, but do not carry conflicting documents to the embassy. Your assistantship offer letter should explain what you're offered. That is the standard for every university in the U.S. So if you are offered 38K and that is what is documented on the letter, the figure on the I-20 should be documented accordingly. If the award on the i-20 is higher than cost of attendance, it is cool. Just make sure your letter back it up. You can also tell the person in charge of i-20 issuance to use the remark section to explain the difference. Just to be safe. I have seen cases where VO refused applicants due to inability to understand how the funding was documented on the i-20 and the award letter. Ask your school about the difference and you'll be fine. 3 Likes |

Spanishmilf: Your agent is lying. I doubt if both of you know what you're doing! Share your profile, such as age, course, school name, program level (undergraduate or graduate) and other information, if you want to be helped. I strongly feel you are about to waste some money and get rejected at the embassy again. Share those info and I will be able to guide you. But whatever you do, do not apply for any visa until you clearly know what you are doing! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Contact your school to explain. I advise you to contact them to explain why there's difference. Last Spring, about 3 applicants were refused because of such difference on i-20 and funding letter. If they can't correct, ask about the difference and print the email along when you're going for your interview. The students later got their visas after they replied. It is just important to avoid story. Sometimes, the VO want to see the assistantship award letter, then compare with what is on the i-20. Hisexcellency20: 2 Likes |

mjan: You can apply with your family, and of course, you must show proof of funds for their living expenses if the funding doesn't cover for it. From experience, I cannot say exactly how the interview will go as the outcome will largely depends on the type of consular you meet. Questions will be asked and constructive answers must be prepared. Is the primary applicants the wife or husband? If wife, then why is the hubby leaving his job to stay in the US? If it's the husband, it is easy to understand why the wife wants to go with the husbands and the 3 kids. In November 2020, an applicant that I assisted with the interview went was given her visa with 3 kids, without hubby in the picture. The reason was that she cannot imagine leaving behind her kids for 4-5 years, while husband is very busy with his job and may visit during holidays. I have no idea if the plan is to bring in the hubby later. Then that same month, a lady from this thread, without her two kids and husband, applied alone, same Phd. She didn't even have funding on the i-20, yet visa was approved. You can try with the entire family, or plan to try alone. Who is the primary applicant? 2 Likes |

edox15: To change your interview location on your CGI, you must cancel your current appointment. Once you do that, proceed as if you're booking a new appointment, then click the preferred location when you you're asked to select. Calendar for available date for that location will show. You will not need to pay another visa fee to do this. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Racoon: The bold line sparked deep and strong thoughts in me. How will these poor little children feel about their world? Will they trust project humanity? Will they grow up to keep peace, or they will live to hurt in return for atrocities done to them? The humanity in this part of the world is failing. Lord help us that knows to help the weak. Amen!

Chii59: It is the duty of every educated and enlightened young women out there to protect their mind and sanity. When you talk about social pressure, who are the people engineering this pressure? Men? Hello no! The pressure to look attractive at the expensive of feminine happiness, are being engineered by same fellow women, mostly from wealthy background. Rich people do so much in destroying social structure than they do to sustain it. If all your friends are doing Yahoo Yahoo, will you blame them for joining? You are responsible! Ladies should fight off peer pressure and be themselves. Some of them are not even moved by all these plastic make up they use morning and night to impress nobody! Then and now, I meet ladies that maintain their natural beauty, not disturbed by what useless society dictates. Social pressure only gets to us when we let it excites us. You're responsible for shunning pressures that are not good for you short and long term. |

festacman: I pity the type of children you'd raise and the men they would become. If you see a liar but calling him a rational thinker, I am sorry, you're a stupid person. The Thief in Governor's skin did not want any opposition or criticism; he wanted to do as he want without being checked. Sanusi was a man of the people and someone that is enlightened, 100 years ahead Ganduje. The latter is of darkness, the former, light. The governor hate checks and truth. Sadly, you're not different!

Choicexx:Item 1 can be proved by your choice of words during the interview. Although the VOs are not predictable, as sometimes they can use your composure to assess your credibility for the visa. Yet, how you talk about your professional goal, such as what you plan to do after graduation, can be used to prove you have strong home times. I have seen applicants whose entire family are in the U.S and she was still given the visa with her babe, on first appearance. I have to say that what you say and how you say it during the interview matters a lot. You will be assessed by your words first, then your academic profile, such as school, cost of attendance, sponsorship and other things. I advise you to work carefully on your response to potential interview questions. What is your plan after graduation? How does this course you pick related to this? How will the knowledge help you build this career plan? From experience, 90% of applicants who took their time to detail answers to these questions are found credible and approved, most times first and second appearance (of course, academic profile as mentioned above add weight to chances of approval as well). All the best! Except you need personalized assistance, ask other questions you may have on this thread. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Malone122: Starts with Google. You must learn the skill of using available tool for personal research while you're still in Nigeria. Use the following search string for the schools you want: 1. Affordable Universities and Colleges in the U.S for Computer Science 2. U.S Universities with Scholarship for computer Science 3. U.S schools without SAT for computer science. The more creative you are, the better and faster for result. Make sure you select the schools you want based on your academic profile and sponsor's financial budget. All the best! 2 Likes |

akudo30: There is nothing like blacklisted schools. If you say schools with weak profile, I would say there are. Every accredited school in the US that issue i-20 will get you a visa if the applicants do their home work. There is nothing like red flag schools; only low ranking schools. And there have been students who receive visas with their admission. All the best! 2 Likes |

EmeritusR:Yes, keep your hope alive. Make sure your DSFORM information is the same, except where something has changed since your last refusal. In the box where you are asked to explain why you're refused, give a detailed explanation of what you thought was the reason for the refusal. With inflow of many applicants with past refusal in my inbox, I have experimented the idea of giving genuine explanation in that box. Don't write "under section 214b"; instead, explain what you think caused the refusal and state that you are a credible student. As testimony, I instructed 3 applicants with past refusals to try this method (the lady with 3 refusal I mentioned before, a guy who was refused 9 times (Yes, refused 9 times and got it 10th attempt in January), and another lady, and it worked. The VO always look at what you fill in that box). Prepare for the interview! All the best! 6 Likes |
