Hey 🤠


1. I have given you my best idea and possibilities in my previous answer to you. If you do not grasp or understand it please ask someone to explain it to you.

2. Why do you need MPH funding when your sister in law is ready and capable of funding you ? Fundings clears of your school fees and if you cannot get it then your sister in law is ready to clear off your school fees , so what is the problem ?

3. Stop giving yourself unnecessary headache. ONLY Phd F1-VISA applicants needs agitation for fundings.

4. If you want to deposit money into your husband account go ahead but the USA embassy will verify it and they now prefers that the money was (premeditated) deposited like 4 months ago.


Best Wishes 🙏

Okay Thanks for your response, I really appreciate. I'm going for master (MPH) but unable to get scholarship, and the capable person to help out is my husband's aunt. what is other option now cause my husband no get such amount.

Your husband’s aunt sponsoring you might be a red flag. I’ll advice you retrieve your I-20 in a different way. Can be your dad or your mum or look for a way to boost your husband’s account.

No matter how your supposed “rich aunty” is, I don’t see how she would fork out $40,000 per year just for you lol.

Medical doctor or no medical doctor. It is hard for anyone here to believe. I don’t even believe that myself.


Why not look for schools where you can get funding? If you can’t, then your best bet is to look for ways to boost your husband's account.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate.
Meanwhile can I deposited the lump sum into my husband account right now? I mean will it not look like the money was deposited because of the interview? I think the VO may be looking at the history of how money is been deposited and withdrawn from the account.
Please what is your take on this.

Also I'm going for master (MPH) but unable to get scholarship, and the capable person to help out is my husband's aunt. what is other option now cause my husband no get such amount.

1. Naturally, the USA embassy prefers the parents or family or employer of an F-1 VISA applicant to stands as sponsor, but nevertheless, we have seen many adopted individuals and orphans who have successfully gotten F-1 VISA via 3rd party sponsors.

2. The prime concern of the USA embassy on proof of funds POF is the authenticity and genuineness of the sources , as well as the continuation of the sources of income so that he or she wont back out when you are in the middle of study (hence, the embassy prefers parents or family members the most.

3. In family tree, that woman in USA is your FAMILY-BY-MARRIAGE, therefore, she is eligible to sponsor you. You can use her USA financial statement and if she has a Nigeria bank account she can use it also. In your DS-160 and other online application please refer to her as SISTER-IN-LAW. Affidafit of change of name can guide consular to her maiden name and thats not even much necessary.

4. Although there are few other options but your sister- in law in the USA has a good reputation as a doctor who is a resources to America, therefore i will recommend you continue your plan if she is ready to stand for you.

5.Nevertheless, either you use your sister in law , or your husband or you later received full funding scholarships, the only thing all of this will do for you is Proof of Funds.

6. You must proof other requirements like , Ties to Nigeria, After graduation plans, the relevant of your program of study, the reputation of the school that gave you the Form-120 SEVP APPROVED, and how well you are able to communicate with the consular before your VISA can be granted.


Best Wishes 🙏

Dear scholars,
I greet you all.
a friend actually refer me here concerning any question about student Visa and I have gather lot of info after going through the trends.
However I have a little concern about proof of fund.
1. My husband is here in Nigeria but his aunt which is in USA is the one that want to give her statement as proof of fund. Please what are the chances of influencing my visa approval?
2. Can I call her my aunt inlaw, or I should just say my aunt (note she is married so she is not bearing same surname with my husband)?
3. Is there any need for my husband to provide second proof of fund as support? (though he didn't have much that could cover my tuition fee but his aunt is 'rich-aunt' in USA).
4. She is legally in USA and ofcourse in medical line.
5. The total deficit is about $39,500, please what are my chances without scholarship?
I will sincerely appreciate your candid advice on these raised issues.
Thank you very much
