Goodmorning all. Thanks for all the helpful insights. I do believe that d sponsor is d problem, not the fact that i'm going to America to study law. I still say that I knw a lot of my colleagues out there studying. As a matter of fact. A law degree from these ivy league schools opens doors here in naija. I really do not want to practice in d US. All i wanted was to go for a nine month LLM prog. Anyway, i dont think its wise to change my sponsor now, it may raise a red flag as per inconsistency. Except I am going to get some cash into my account and be a self sponsored applicant. I also need ur insights as to whether or not the denials during the old passport period still shows on an applicant's profile. Thanks everyone. |

kingcobra2003: Guys, I really want u to get the full picture of hw it went. I am in d office now but will try. it went thus: VO: Why do u wanna study @ Columbia? Me: Columbia is an Ivy League school one of the best categories of uni in d world. It has a rich array of courses germane to my practice areas. VO: OK,wat course are u going to study there? me: LL.M, VO: (LOOKS AT MY I-20) I see here advanced Legal research/studies, general. me: it is just nomenclature. it is a higher degree in law, also called LL.M. Its the same thing. VO: Where did u do ur undergrad? me: mentioned vo: when did u graduate? me: mentioned, plus d yr vo:what hav u been doing since then? me: after uni, I went to law sch and then work vo: so u are already working as a lawyer? me: yes, as an associate in a leading law firm (showed her my ID Card also told her abt my employment letter) vo:wats an associate? me: first step in a law firm, after which onw can be promoted to partner which is the highest position vo: so, who's sponsoring u? me: my uncle vo: why would ur uncle sponsor u? me: he grew up with ma father who took absolute responsibility for him. saw him thru sch and now he has a sort of obligation to do same. I have no dopubt about his sponsorship vo: how much does he earn monthly me: he owns an integrated services firm and doesn't earn monthly as an epmployee vo: gimme an estimate of his monthly earning me: it may be difficult to say as he doesn't earn monthly salary, he gets his pay as he performs contracts vo: ok, how much does he pay himself monthly me: (at this tym I was forced to mention a figure since she insisted so much) about 15 to 20 million vo: (she looked at a chat that has d exchange rates)do u hav financial docs to show his earnings? me: yes (showed it to her) vo: (looks thru it and looks back at me) the figures here don't add up me: that's the statement I got from him vo: do u have another statement? me: no vo (types in something in the computer) unfortunately, I cannot issue u visa at this tym, the reason is contained in this letter (issues me their usual letter) |

FutureDon: I think this assertion is not totally true. yesterday my visa was denied after over 15 mins interview and I applied to an Ivy League college to do masters in law. |

Ivy League schools guarantee you atleast 70% success during the interview. That is if you are not 35years old and just going for undergraduate studies or going there for a Masters in Physical Education or Swimming. I dunno how to manoeuvre my way in this forum, I am brand new. But I must say that it may not be totally true. I applied to Columbia and still denied. |
