who else is so happy Biden is in office.
Just yesterday he lifted the immigrant travel ban for Nigerian applicants.
But still it may not necessarily mean getting a student visa would be much easier than before.
There would still be that same serious interview and screening

dNairaman:
Please I have 2 urgent questions as regards filling the ds 160 form...

1. How do I answer "who's paying for your trip"?
Does it just simply mean my sponsor??

2. If I'm currently self employed, how do I represent that while filling the present employment section??

Thanks for your reply...

Just thinking about this ,
I messed up in filling my form
I put self cos i was willing to pay for my flight to the usa.
but my family(mom) is my sponsor on my i20 and is my mom bank statement i intend to use.


i thought trip meant the flight alone.


please i wish to change this......
what can i do
fill another form
or explain to the VO when asked

majorstark:


6months before march 2021

ok so you mean if i print a statement of account now (31st December 2020), i can use it till May 31st .
even if i withdraw the money sometime around march or february

tiptoe1:


It depends on your school. They're the only one to tell if they admit international students for summer semester but if not, it's better you reschedule your appointment.

THANKS just did to April 29TH against August 23rd

Chonco:


What i stated is actually the rule. Do you have your I20 already?
You should have made it May/June - it falls within the 120 days rule.

May/June is more than enough for you. You can just calculate it, then pick a better date.

Intended date of arrival is valid but the appointment date is not. Reschedule

ok thanks i think if i change it to April 29th it would be better , but before i change . i would like to find out if shift my entry to summer 2021, would the new i20 still show the same student sevis ID

Chonco:


It's very early and against the rules.

You can get your visa 120 days/four months before the fall semester starts.

And can only travel 30 days prior to the start state. If you travel before 30days, it's an issue at the POE

damnnnnn
but i intend to travel by August not as soon as possible, i even put August in my ds 160 form as intended date of travel.
Please i am confused on what to do now.....................................
i want to apply early so i can easily apply again if things go south god forbid

Friedpotato:
march 2? When does your school resume?

i am resuming fall 2021
which is August 22nd
Is it too early for me to apply for a visa ?
hope is not a red flag

good evening house,
So i just got an interview date for March 2nd, how old should my financial documents be, can i used a statement of account that is 3 months old since it was printed . Please help.

Something might be wrong with your photo. Why not go to a studio. give them the dimensions of the passport size. Take with proper lightening. have them send it to you and you upload it on your system there. I once experience this but mine was telling me that my photo was blur. I just went to the photo studio, took another and uploaded it there.

Just tried this morning with the same picture and it went through, it was likely a technical glitch. thanks

Good morning all.
I have gotten just one admission to University of north Texas(data Science). I deferred Till spring 2021 because of the pandemic.
I am in the process of applying for my i20. Please I would like to know.
Is it advisable to apply for just one school even that is school I want to go
I got the admission from UNT after a GRE waiver because of 2 years working experience.

Would it be a red flag for the VO

Simonokeh7:
Let's imagine that as a Nigerian on a Ghanian forum you offer to help a Ghanian that just got admission into unilag and that person replies with.

"Thanks but that is not the help I need, I am familiar with Surulere, Yaba, Ikotun . I have visited Nigeria numerous things with a visitor Visa since age 11(13 years ago) and have relatives there
But please the above questions is what I need help with"

This would PROBABLY not come off as proud or showy to most Nigerian. Because it is not USA where SOME Nigerian feel only billionaire can visit.

I was about ignoring those comments just to keep peace and focus on the important things .
But you just brought the point and hit the nail on the head. I wonder what I said that was bad initially, even the person I replied to just kept quiet.
I needed an Information on an issue but I got a completely different reply, what else would I say.

I see it as inferiority complex , so because I commented that I have been To US , I am proud But if i have been to Warri or Ibadan 34 times , no one would think I am proud.

Bro thanks for this comment

Hi good morning guys.
Please I need some assistance.
I just admitted to UNT (university of north Texas Denton) to study Data Analytics. My school have already sent me directions on how to apply for I20. Please I need information with this .
1. I am looking for how to apply for a scholarship or Tto to A with UNT. Should I get this scholarship before I get my i20. How can I apply for this or for a TA.
2. I am working as a Data Analyst with coca cola, is it possible that it would help to get a positive feedback in my Visa interview since I did not write GRE to get an admission.
3. I am looking to defer my admission till next year fall cos of the burden caused from coronavirus, should I get the visa first then apply for a deferral how is that possible.

Thanks in advance [

But sincerely some of una get time replying this Mr Twoods .
Like the long replies are not worth for him .

Use the time you have to educate others abeg . No time to waste time .

Let talk about the issues at hand
School Visa, admission abeg better things

TWoods:


That’s nonsensical. Why do you think anyone wants you not to succeed? Do you think anyone goes home thinking about the success (or lack thereof) of faceless people on a forum? Waiting for a pointless screed to motivate you is not a good idea.

Bro abeg please I do not wish to reply you, I am too busy for foolishness

SmartKitty:

It will take time. All US Immigration policy is about to reduce immigration and eventually to stop it, chain immigration, anchor babies, illegals, undocumented should stop and if any country has many overstayed, we ban this country. Nothing personal.

Bro are you that jobless or just mean cos I do not know whether to laugh at this or cry for your numbness

Good evening house
Please I have some urgent questions hoping if you can help me with some or all.
I am in the process of applying to UNT for Data Analytics, GRE is not required though .
1. Two Letter of recommendation is required , preferably at least one from an employer. I recently just started a new job and I do not want my employer to know that I plan on leaving . Please where can I get a letter from another organisation and must it have the company logo.

2. Concerning the new Visa ban , if someone eventually get a student visa. If the ban is still on after the person finishes studying , which I pray would not be so, can the person marry a citizen and not be affected by the ban since he would do change of status.

3. If after getting a student Visa, can a student defer his start date to another semester . I.e instead of August start January. And if he can ,
Would he need to do another interview again or would the Visa date just be changed after informing the school .

Shuayb0:
Thanks for the response bro, UNT means?

University of north Texas at Denton

Shuayb0:
Hello Everyone

This is an amazing forum with lots of people using their precious time to assist others. Kudos

Any one with info on a school with a non expensive Ms Data Science or Analytics program or one with a good prospect for graduate assistantship (I’m already applying to Minnesota state and Austin Peay State). I have a computer science degree, 3.94/5.0. Thanks

Check UNT, GRE is not required if you have work experience and the fees is quite affordable without funding. The school offers lot of scholarship when you admitted.
