Arisukuni: Appear like a story I have heard before. What you do with US embassy is in the system for Canadian embassy to access and assess. I have seen cases of students who were refused by the US embassy and then tried Canadian visa but didn't disclose they were refused by the US. The visa was refused and they were banned for 5 years (If I still remember). Remark must have been left on your profile, and Canada have access to that profile while evaluating your document to determine if you qualify for the class of visa you've applied for The applicant who had similar experience you are having was clearly warned. He reached out to me from this thread, and I remember warning him not to take fake bank statement to the embassy, but he didn't listen. I want to believe this is not the same person. Additionally, these days, Canada rarely give visiting visas to people without travel history and enough fund in their account and professional background. So if you will be paying anybody or or doing the visa application for Canadian visa by yourself, make sure you know what you are doing. All the best! 7 Likes |

Congratulations to all approved applicants. What can I say? Y'all worked hard for this; some of you had to borrow money to fund this dream. So you deserve the joy your approval has brought to you! My advise: Don't take the funding for granted! Some people somewhere desperately need them, but they don't know how to get it. It's a huge privilege! I know why I am saying this! Please do all you can to study well and graduate as one of the best students in your department. Success can turn to failure if we stop working hard to build on the foundational success, which is the opportunity to study in the US. All the best guys! 24 Likes |

Peacock1234: What is the cost of attendance for this program? Like others have said, one cannot really know all the reasons a visa was refused, although some applicants' cases are obvious and can be perceived if they articulate how the interview went. The current embassu section, I think, is not willing to put any applicants on "administrative processing." At least, so far, I haven't seen anyone placed on AP for bank statement verification. What does this mean? During the short period of interview, VO assess whether your tuition is too high (unreasonable for some programs, and if no scholarship or GA) or "affordable" (VO might feel this cost is not bad for this degree). I want to say that these consulars look at things and make judgement--based on applicants' program COA, program, age, background, and chiefly, response to interview questions. This is why I always emphasise on not selecting a very expensive school if GA or scholarship will not be available. This is my opinion; I am not a VO! Likewise, one of the things I make sure applicants don't do during mock interview is start a response to questions, such as why this school the way you did. Where is personalisation and talking like a student that you are? "I chose the University of Illinois because..." @Buksss. You said you and your roommates said the same thing Peacock1234 said to Why this school, and you all got approved? When did you get your visa? Did he really need to say the same thing? If I were to say something about his response to why that school, I would tell you it didn't go well. He simply left off benefit of courses, research interest, working with a faculty member, and then straight to internship--the last reason there can be? Internship is available in Nigeria too. Is this the only reason a student would want to go to the US to spend $30-something thousand (I assume this is your COA). MSF at the University of Illinois has some very hot concentrations, but you did not talk about that. I think the VO was not convinced that you're a credible student, hence your refusal. A few things work together to earn that credibility during the short interview. Situation changes, so you can still get your visa. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Tulacious123: This is not how things work on this thread. I don't think there is one person who has schools for every program for everyone here. Nobody can actually give you the best school for you; you have to search for it by yourself. This is one of the homework you have to do before you get your visa. Don't skip the process, or you will miss out better schools with better offer. Search for your own schools. Universities in the US for PhD in Communication (use this search string on Google, and you will see long list of schools to explore). Check the department for funding, and contact the graduate coordinator of each school you plan to do before you start the application at all. This is my field, so I can tell you authouritatively that every department of communication in every single university in the US offers GTA to both some MA and PhD applicants--if you meet admission requirement and if position is available and they deem you suitable to fill it. But note: that a communication program has GTA doesn't mean it will be offered to you if you're accepted. This is why I said you should contact every school and ask question about it before you start your application at all. If you have questions, ask. but don't skip your own homework!

Mariangeles: I am sorry, but this is the first time someone would say my words are confusing. It seems you have a problem with comprehension, because I have never seen someone who assume he's so learned but cannot understand a sentence as simple that! Passion and feelings are regulated by choice--even when we are not aware we are making that choice. This means that, for example, anger is a feeling; sadness is a feeling. You can choose not be angry or not to feel sad. Every emotion you feel is regulated by your response to that emotion. I wanted to get angry when I saw your comment, but I had to control myself. You control something by choice. If you still couldn't understand these examples, please go back to secondary school. 1 Like |

Mariangeles: Everything! Everything man does is driven by conscious or unscious decision. Even when you don't know, you're making a decision. To fall in love means to let down your guard--the resistance, as you said. Whether you predict it or it happens by chance, the moment you say "I love you" to another human being, you have likely decided or in deciding to love that person. That you decide to love does not rob you of excitment. Passion and feelings are regulated by choice--even when we are not aware we are making that choice. 2 Likes |

Mariangeles:He was right though. Just look at the current person you are in love with. Did love just happen, or you "chose" to love or return the love you received? When I saw that quote, it literally align with my experience. Can we really love another human being without conscious or unconscious decision to love? I don't think so! 3 Likes |

pansophist: You are like a plug in my mind, sparking inspiration. The following is what you inspired, and I'm putting it up on my WhatsApp status. "You do not fall in love, you decide to love." -- Pansophist (after leaving Nigeria to read all the works of literature in the Western world)� *** At first sight, just like a drop of seed, love might happen without a conscious decision, but every love between a man and a woman bonding in a relationship and passing the test of time is driven by decision to love and stay together. We decide to love, we don't fall in love. I'll try not to forget this. � 11 Likes 2 Shares |

adelawry: How much is in the account? What is the duration of the program? If personal funds cover 1 year of study, where would additional funds to complete the study comes from? While moving the funds to his regular account, these questions should be answered. Within just 3 minutes, the VO will consider these and weigh his credibility along. |

Ellamma1: If you are planning for fall 2021, this is the best time to start putting your application materials together. I advice you start looking for schools. You will find many universities with funding opportunity, and I think ideal masters would be MA Communication with concentration in areas that align with what you plan to do after graduation.

Beegirl1: Don't do it! I repeat, don't do it! Chances that you will be refused is very high. If you want a change of career, plan it well. Getting an undergraduate degree at 32, is a no no. I hope you don't have admission or interview date already. If you do, just cancel it. And start making plans on graduate degree. 1 Like |

tolulopevoice: I try not be absolute in my responses to questions as I am not a VO. People do get their visas despite having sponsor in the US. However, you may be asked questions about when and how he travelled and what he's doing, depending on the VO you meet. If you meet a VO who is not pleased with having a sponsor in the US, you may be refused. This possibility is there; I see it. But again, depends on the VO you meet. How your interview will end will be determined by the type of VO you meet. You can ask for emergency appointment on the same portal you picked January 4th. The option is right there on the left pane.
