Thanks for your prompt response. Of course, I know the letter should be written to the Embassy in that given location. But addressed to whom there? Is it to the Consular General or whom? Are you saying the sponsor should just go ahead and write the embassy address alone in the body of the letter?
For example, you want to apply for your academic transcript. In your transcript application letter, you address it to your school registrar, before you proceed to writing your school address. I am talking about similar thing here, and I'm sorry to bother you more. Thanks! Consular general, Embassy of The United states of america 2 walter carrington crescent,Victoria island Lagos |

Pittbaby: The US student visa is very strict , you can not work off campus unless you can prove hardship , (not easy to do) . You must carry a full load , i.e you must be full time 12-19 credits per semester as required by the institution. You can bring a spouse , not an easy process and usually not approved unless you can prove that you can support them above poverty level (an additional $600 per month for your first dependent and $400 per month each for any additional dependents.) this is in addition to tuition and financial support for yourself . You are only allowed to work 20 hrs a week on campus, how will you earn that if you don't have it saved up already. Average student work is $8-$13 per hour so unless you are one of the lucky ones with a scholarship or an assitantship which provides full tuition and a stipend (room and board in some cases) not an easy task.
so again the UK student visa is very lenient they are just tightening up because of the wide spread abuse @pittbaby, u hv explained well, i understand what u mean cos am a student here too n hv seen how it works, US student visa no be easy thing at all, r u in ohio? |

4ril: If my sponsor (Uncle) needs to write a notarized letter to the US Consular, stating his relationship with me and why he is sponsoring my Masters degree. To whom should the letter be addressed? Please, I only need a hint on the recipient's address, that's all. Please, you may write out the address.
I notice that some people, instead of admitting that they do not know the response to a question, they turn around to insult the poster or insult another person who tries to answer the question. This is not good. Even if you consider the question of someone silly, or you consider the response of another as misleading, you do not need to insult anyone. Simply ignore silly questions or try to come down to the level of the poster. This way, you might be able to understand what he/she is saying. You do not have to talk all the time. Also, if you find the response of someone misleading, try to correct it, without insulting anyone. My heart breaks each time I see helpful members of this thread insulting one another.
To me, this is the best thread on Nairaland. You guys, I need not mention all names have been saving lots of Nigerians a lot of money. On this thread, you can easily determine if you are qualified before you apply for visa or not. So many people out there have been wasting their money applying for US visa and and they never get it, because they are not aware of what you guys are saying here . Let's keep this thread moving huh? This is just a digression, and I'm sorry for that. I just feel like expressing my mind.

The British government has come up with tougher rules to stop people abusing the student visa system to remain illegally in the United Kingdom.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said 30 per cent of migrants who came into the UK were on student visas and a number were adults taking short courses, not degrees.
Following the confirmation that Farouk AbdulMutallab, the Nigerian accused of attempted bombing of a United States airliner on Christmas Day,was a student in London between 2005 and 2008, the British government had been under severe pressure from opposition parties to tighten visa requirements, especially for students.
With the public's confidence in Nigeria's education system constantly on the decline, thousands of Nigerians annually seek to study in the United Kingdom.
The new rule, however, will not have much effect on Nigerians with the requisite qualification who genuinely intend to study in the UK.
But it could affect those wishing to use the students' visa window to bring their dependants to work in the UK during and after their studies.
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, under the new rules, effective immediately, successful applicants from outside the EU will have to speak English to a level only just below GCSE near-GCSE (equivalent of Senior Secondary School Certificate) standard, rather than beginner level as at present .
Also, students taking courses below degree level will be allowed to work for only 10 hours a week, instead of 20 as at present.
Those on courses, which last under six months, will not be allowed to bring dependants into the country, while the dependants of students on courses below degree level will not be allowed to work.
Additionally, visas for courses below degree level will also be granted only if the institutions they attend are on a new register, the Highly Trusted Sponsors List.
The Home Office would not confirm reports the changes may cut visas issued this year by tens of thousands.
A spokesman told BBC that a review of student visas had been ordered in November. In 2008/9, about 240,000 student visas were issued by the UK.
News of the new measures comes a week after student visa applications from Nepal, northern India and Bangladesh were suspended amid a big rise in cases.
Last year the UK introduced a system requiring students wishing to enter the country to secure 40 points under its criteria.
However, the government has faced criticism that this has allowed suspected terrorists and other would-be immigrants into the UK, only for them to stay on despite their visas being temporary.
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, the home secretary denied the system had been lax before.
"We closed down 200 bogus colleges," he said. "By 2011, we will have the most sophisticated system in the world to check people not just coming into the country but to check they have left as well."
He said the UK remains open to those foreign students who want to come to the UK for legitimate study.
Alan Johnson: "If you are coming here for a course that is under six months you can not bring your dependents"
"We are the second most popular location for people going into higher education," he said.
"We have to be careful that we are not damaging a major part of the UK economy, between £5bn and £8bn." Na wa oooooo |

Brief history of the GOAT called AGF Michael Kaase Aondoakaa was born June 12, 1962 in Benue. He attended the University of Maiduguri, where he studied law. He became a senior partner of a law firm for 18 years. While helping two of his friends, Ogiri Ajene, former deputy governor of Benue State and Professor Daniel Saror to secure nomination for ministerial appointment, he was invited to meet President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, and during the interview was offered the post of Attorney General. Attorney General He was appointed Minister of Justice on 26 July 2007. He was a member of a sub-committee to review the report of Justice Mohammed Uwais committee on electoral reform. The sub-committee assisted in producing a white paper which sparked controversy because it reversed some recommendations of the Uwais committee. It recommended that the President continue to appoint the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), among other changes. He opposed sacking Maurice Iwu, chairman of INEC, despite criticism of Iwo's conduct of the 2007 elections. He objected to the dissolution of local governments in Ondo State by Olusegun Mimiko, the new governor, although a High Court in Ondo supported the action Will dat illegal son-of-a-naughty woman citizen turned lawyer shut the hell up  he will soon be jailed.
