domex007: Hello friends,
I need information and advice about this;
In my i-20 it states that my tuition is $20,950 including housing, tuition and fees, living expenses, miscellenous fees included.
Now the school requests that I bring $8k upon enrollment the remaining balance to be remitted to the 2nd semester, also in my admission letter, they said I should bring additional funds for living expenses as my living expenses is not included in the $8k.
Now my questions are;
Will the school provide meals for me after the deposit of $8k?
What exactly is the $8k for since the school won't feed me?
Do I choose campus housing or off campus?

Mjseun: You are right bro. But if your appearance is too careless that could send a negative signal to the vo you know! Like having dread locks on your head, long beard, a guy using ear rings etc.... ones dressing should be decent I think

Mjseun: Are you sure of this Mr? We need good advice and not leading people astray. I'm sure dressing smart/cooperate is advisable, which is what I'm going to do but my question is that "is it compulsory you knot a tie? Basic" ur shorts, Polo and slippers....... remember that first impression matters. I'm quite sure you joking with that combination of yours!

Mjseun: Hello house,
Please is it compulsory to knot a tie to the embassy for interview purpose? I'm Planning to dress smart but without a tie.

Your advise will be appreciated thanks

slimmy05: and they also clear you at point of entry to bring in those foods?

juntod: Hello house. Please be extremely careful about how/where you use your cards for online transactions in the US. So many websites are built by hackers just to get your card details. If dem get am, your own don finish. I will be giving out guidelines on how to know a safe (verified) billing merchant website later on. I hope I am not derailing the forum by so doing.

laura2014: Sorry been away from my computer for a while. am here now. what do you mean by PM you and how do i do that ?

teepeehall: Have learnt alot from this forum. I must say a big Thank you to everyone. I have two questions to ask. 1. Is Murray State university Reg flagged?

2. How much will be good to have in my statement of account for the embassy interview ? I have a wife and a year old Son. The school requested for a statement of $26,944.

OjaP: Laura,

Below are what you should work on.

- Your answers to the V.O question;

* Always say you applied to at least 3 schools.
* Your reason for choosing your school wasn't convincing enough.
* You didn't write the GRE or GMAT. The V.O was particularly interested in that and that was why he asked.

Anybody can be your sponsor in as much you can give good reasons why the person would be doing that. Unless you work on the reasons above especially your GRE or GMAT. I am afraid your next interview won't be an easy ride and I pray you don't get denied again. Please fix all loop holes. Shalom!!!

Rijo02: Same opinion dey my mind bt do u think it will conflict with the previous info?

laura2014: I am really tensed as speculated and I haven't been on my laptop this long waiting for your correspondences , but i appreciate everyone that has contributed , May God bless you all and I hope to share my positive news soon.
if am not mistaken . here is what I have been advised to do

1 pray hard , I sure will do that . i can be a prayer warrior (want to try to put a smile on my face)
2 I would choose my Uncle as my sponsor this time , if VO doesn't talk about it .I would not talk about it .if he does . I would present a stronger ties with him like he was involved in my undergraduate .
3 I would not mention his present condition and would just take my dad"s account with me Should or In case (for back-up ). but I would not present it if not asked. cos my Uncle is my Sponsor
4 I will on the best answer to relate my BSC WITH Intended MSC .
5 yes My uncle and my dad bears the same last name (My dad is the elder brother) . I bear same too . cos I am not yet married . single but not searching .maybe when i get to obama land shaa ( just kidding ,just wanna put a smile on my face cos i feel relaxed now .) as a matter of fact , I have started filling the ds 160 before i decided to through the question up here . but serioulsly . kudus to you all. would recommend this trend to anyone i know would need help. I LOVE YOU all. thanks i appreciate .

I still will become advice . as i am still seating here by my laptop. alone with plenty thought .

maybe i need a trip to the beach to kool off . any new friend.

laura2014: I am afraid his present balance as a result of his condition at present cannot cover my tuition for the first year . He is distabilised that i dont even want to disturb him at the moment is why am shifting grounds to my Uncle and which he has accepted since my dad already talked to him.

my first year tuition is 28000$ from the account i sent to the school . they estimated the funds to be 45,000$

so my Uncle is my last hope. Just dont know how to package it and go about it is why i need that help and please correct me on my previous transcript.

God Bless as i await your correspondence..

bimbola85: Bro, when it comes to receiving money from abroad, they will tell you exchange rate is even $159 and try make international payment, na then you go know the koko($166).
.

bimbola85: Bro,I've been using gtb's master card for all my international transactions.

They charge more than the exchange rate and I can say that anywhere.

Just last week, they charged me #166.32 per $ for all the payments I made and this prompted me to email them over the weekend to ask about their exchange rate. They said #161.50 while they charged more than that.

See the attachment for confirmation.

Amerinancy: Bro, its okay please. I'm also a woman like her, but I think she is immatured cos from her statements, its obvious she is. Because, I can't insult or even use rude words on anyone for anything talk less of a man who is rightly above a woman by nature. If you are angry at someone, talk to them maturedly and if they continue provoking you, just simply ignore them.
Joe didn't say anything wrong. if we must correct people we must do that constructively and respectively no one is perfect. Zee please use knowledge and wisdom together it will help you even more now that you are in the states once again have a nice stay in obamaland *cheers*
