I only attached my i20. I just wrote that I am going to study xx program and my program starts at xx but my initial schedule date won’t allow me to meet that start date and this will thwart my career trajectory. It’s against this backdrop that I am applying for an emergency appointment to meet my admission date.
AZzoe:


Oooo thank you so much. This means alot truly.
Please aside from your i20 and your payment receipt, what supporting document did u attached when requesting via the CGI portal? And what was your convincing writeup like?
So sorry for the long questions, please...
And thank you for your kind response...🙏🏽

Contrary that’s not it. I had my earliest admission date to be 18th July and program start date at 21 August but I applied for EA using my earliest admission date and it was granted in less than 24hrs.
TEMIT0PE:
No, you are not.

Your program start date is 14th August. "Earliest admission date" means the date you are allowed to enter into the US. The 60 days rule is counted from your "program start date" and in your case, this will be 14th of June.

If you apply for emergency now, your request is going to be rejected and you will not be allowed to apply for another emergency appointment with the same Visa fee payment.

Yes you do.
Keyin:
Good day. Please from my i-20 the earliest admission date is 15th of July and Program start date is 14th of August. Am i qualify to book for EA considering the 60 days clause for student to book for EA?

Thank you for your response

You would have used the time you are using to ask this question to try it on your portal.
If it goes through fine, if it doesn't then you wait for the document.
That is what I will do in this situation.
Life is either yes or no, nothing go spoil.

Me:Good morning

VO: Let's start with your study plan
Where are you going
Me: I am going to south Dakota state university for Masters in English and Literature and I will be focusing on Feminst and gender Literature. It is for 24 months and it is a 36hours Credit course in which I will be taking courses like British literature, creative writing and professional editing. This courses will help me acquire the skills I need to be a creative Writer.

Ever since then I have been working as a technical writer and my duties include I write stories, blog post and articles relating to women in the work place, I also volunteer as an English and Literature teacher as it on My ds160. I earn 250,000 monthly. Vo was listening with rapt attention.

VO : What your post study plan
Me : My company is currently expanding it's operations across Africa country upon the completion of my studies I will be taking the role of a senior Technical write alongside I will be establishing my own writing center and also I will be collaborating with other publishers so as to create a safe space for women in Nigeria

VO : How did you get your GTA

Me: I submitted a very competitive application. I took a duolingo test where i scored 135, I wrote an essay on social inclusion of women in Nigeria using Chimamanda Adiche and I had an interview with two professors from my department. VO was just looking at me.

How many Schools did you apply to : I said three and all gave me admission but I chose South Dakota state university because of its interdisciplinary approach to literature and robust Curriculum , I won't just be taking literature but I will also be taking creative writing, professional editing courses and this course will help me the expertise that I need to become a Writer (I actually applied to 10 Schools, three rejections, two waitlisted me. I got three funded offers, awaiting decision from others)

Vo : Where do you work again

I don’t know his program and I highly doubt we are going for the same program. Thank you.

When they request for a writing sample they just want to know your research skills. I know a colleague with about 50 publications but they told him to submit only an article in which he was sole author. In my case they told me to submit only the research methods chapter of my thesis and not the whole work.

Thesis can be harder than an article because you can derive numerous articles from a thesis so it’s not as soft as you think.

Yes being unique should be goal and there myriad ways to achieve that even without publication.
infosoftlife:


I believe you both have the same profile and going for the same program.
CONGRATULATIONS, by the way.
Just because you were able to have this funding (I don't know the program you applied for) doesn't construe that the competition is the same in all departments.

FYI: A publication has fewer pages than 25,000 dissertations. Imagine a Prof. reading through this of over 100 applicants grin

Let's encourage people to take the harder way because it pays, and there are agents out there that can help you do this publication by including their names in it.

PSI: I am not saying getting funding without a PUBLICATION is impossible... Making your profile stand out is the GOAL.

Do understand his assertion to a point. For the writing sample, your masters thesis would suffice and I used that to gain 3 admissions all with funding. I have also been able to secure a research assistantship to assist a research institute with their research for my PhD but I have no publication.
infosoftlife:


You must understand the different types of funding and their requirements (GA, TA, RA).

If you want a Research Assistantship to assist Profs with their research works, the majority of them usually request to see a writing sample.

For someone going for Ph.D while, won't he/she have at least a publication?

Some schools in Nigeria even mandates MSc student to have a publication before the final defense of their dissertation.

Don't submit too heavy SOA that makes it incredible. Almost all the guys submitting statement of accounts reading 148 million balance for example, I noticed have been consistently getting denied. If you are a sponsored or self sponsoring student, Submit a reasonable SOA that doesn't make you the object of suspicion by a VO. By reasonable I mean 5million to 50 million. Don't create unnecessary suspicion for yourself by submitting a statement of account most people in their lifetimes have not seen.

Email the program's Administrator or coordinator and he or she will show you how to start the process of deferring. If they need you to write a letter, they will tell you who to address to and why it has become necessary to defer the program.

Hey Guys my visa has been approved. It’s been God. I got delayed in August for insufficient funds and when I ordered my gcms note, it said lump sum deposit occurred. So after asking the gurus and going through previous posts for my situation, I decided to pay a year fee, open a domiciliary account and transfer my living expenses in it. I also added a detailed sponsorship letter and a letter of explanation to show changes made to my application.
