Hi Guys,
My sister got admission for her M.sc in USA but the university ask her to send Financial Support Affidavit. must it be sign and stamped at the court or just normal typed letter?
She applied for student visa in 2017 and 2018 but was refused because she was going for a second (bsc) in similar course and the VO ask her to apply for M.sc instead of B.sc.
Then when she applied she wasn't married but now she's and her father will be sponsoring her hope it wont raise red flag since she's married

There is usually a template provided by the University, you do not need to take it court.
I don’t think it’s a red flag for her dad to be sponsoring her.

When ask how many school just mention 4 and keep the remaining story...unless you were asked a question that warrant it...

Go and get that visa approve....may the force be with you

Alright, noted. Thank you.

PotentialNurse:


Why is your uncle sponsoring you/paying for your deficit?

Also, why do you want to study this course?

How did you get this assistantship and what will your duties be?

Prepare for such questions too...
Your responses are very okay.

Thank you for your review. So, there's a difference between the questions: "why this course?" and "what will this course do for you? "

Hello Gurus:

I applied to only one school at US and got admitted though I've been tracking the course since 2017,I observed people's visa transcript mentioning of applying to two or more schools. My question is,does applying to two or more schools boost one's chances in visa approval? compared with applying to one school.
Responses and experiences will be appreciated. Thanks.

Good evening, I have someone who went for her interview (F1) and it was approved. she was asked to collect her passport in a couple of days at the location she opted for. she was also given the white paper that talks about collection of issued visa and locations in Nigeria etc..

However, she was not given the small white slip that says congratulations, and on the white paper she was given, the following was written "COLLECTING YOUR ISSUED U.S VISITORS' VISA". Is this unusual or a mistake on the part of the VO. Or this is the new trend.

Applying to more schools mean you're passionate about your goal of getting into grad school and I've heard it from EduUsa that applying to one school is a red flag...I'm not saying applying to one school is that bad but if you can apply to more just for the sake of the interview, it'll be better

Hello.
Please, I am reapplying for a visa the second time.is it advisable to make slight changes in my Ds160 form .
The first interview took place about a month ago.
The course stated on my 1-20 is different from that on my admission letter but The international admission officer says that,s the major department offering the degree.
In my first Ds 160, I filled the course stated on my admission letter.
Pls I am about refilling a new Ds160. For this second interview. Can I change it to the course stated on my 1-20.
Secondly..... Pls is it advisable to make changes on my job description section on the form as well.

Thanks for your help

Has anyone been able to schedule a date earlier than August in Abuja. I was able to schedule for August 10th but looking to see if I will be able to get an earlier date before requesting for an emergency appointment.

Visa denied in Lagos Today
Please scrutinize

First time, First denial
COA: $24k

VO: Good day, please pass your document: I passed it on

VO: So you're going to Liberty University for a Masters in Psychology:
Me: Yes

VO: How did you know about the school

Me: Through a colleague at work: I work for a big organization and my work is computer science related:

VO: How does this course fit into what you're doing
Me: To be honest, I couldn't defend it so well

VO: He reiterated: You're doing computer science-related work at bleep, how Psychology
Me: My answer didn't seem clear and cogent to him

VO: How many schools did you apply to
Me: 2

VO: Were you accepted?
Me: yes

Now, this school gave me admission in Computer science. I chose Psychology because the admission came out first.

VO: Who is sponsoring the trip
Me: My Brother

VO: What does he do
Me: He works as a manager for an Oil serving company in Norway

VO: How much does he earn
Me: about $4k

VO: Typing..... I am sorry, you do not qualify for a visa at this time

Planing on going again with my Computer science admission and more compelling answers

Please advise

1. You are working in Computer Science and going for a Masters in Psychology. Why do you need the degree? Your current job and the degree you are going for couldn't be more different. Put yourself in the VO's shoes, how would you react to this?
Also, it is never good to volunteer unnecessary information at your interview. There was really no need to mention that your work is Computer Science related, It all started going downhill from there. Why not just say "Through a colleague at work" ?

2. You applied for 2 very unrelated courses. I wonder why. If you are going for a grad degree, make sure you studied something related in your undergrad and that you are also working in a related field where that degree will actually be helpful to you. If you studied something unrelated in undergrad then it is still okay as long as you are working in a field related closely to the degree you are going for.

You need to restrategize and prepare better.

I remember when you were interviewed

I was also denied yesterday

They were just dishing out denials ehn

I’ll post my transcript later, but for now, I’m still crying because my program starts in 2 weeks time

I’ll have to defer

People who got approved yesterday were mostly aged couples going for their children’s graduation ceremony

Then few guys going for summer work. (I don’t even know what this is)

An elderly woman going for Omugwo for her daughter was denied. Like why??

A girl on wheelchair going for medical treatment abroad was denied too. Very sad!

Some students also got approved, but those with good schools, good funding, and good educational qualifications. Like GRE, TOEFL etc

My reason for denial: “You don’t have the funding requirement for this program”

Whereas I was with account statement o

He didn’t even bother to check

When he asked me how much my sponsor earns monthly. I said a particular amount. I think he calculated it to dollar on his system.

By the way, I was going to Stevens, my COA is about $60k (lol) them no gree give my funding or GA

Omo you just said it na. $60k with no funding at all. You need to find another school or you ask the school for funding. It will be difficult to prove to the VO that you are going to pay that fee when you get there. Although I know of some people who got their visas with $50k without any funding but it is something that is really rare, you will need to tell the VO why you or your sponsor want to spend times 2 of that huge amount for 2 years if going for masters.

Hello,

Good day everyone, I have a few questions and I'll be glad if anyone can put me through cause I'm new to this whole visa processing thing.

1. Is it advisable to admit I'm going for my 2nd Masters degree after completing one in Nigeria.

2. Can I make use of a family friend SOA; is it a red flag. Although i already made use of it in getting the i-20 form from the school. But is it ok to use it for Visa interview.

Has anybody using student loan as funding gotten visa approved

Thank you so much, a friend introduced this thread to me, it's been very informative.

I just got admission to study Master of Arts in Leadership at Dallas Baptist University.

Please does anyone have information about this school?

Well, I was actually going to pay it. Because my family is well to do and I was with account statement with good balance.

What are you looking for an earlier date for when you can request an emergency that will override/cancel your August booking, and get you an interview date in this month of May ?
If you start date is close, better request emergency and stop waiting for what you are not certain is coming.

Divabiola:
Has anyone been able to schedule a date earlier than August in Abuja. I was able to schedule for August 10th but looking to see if I will be able to get an earlier date before requesting for an emergency appointment.

MelaninGemstone:

I think that’s actually one thing the VOs do not understand about us, if one has the money to pay for his fees even if it is an hundred thousand dollars, I don’t see the need for denying someone in regards of finance. As you just said now , there are still other people that have the money to pay for their fees even without any funding but because of previous experience. This people nor trust us again. So when they see this they immediately think negatively.

godguy:

Everything depends on the visa officer. But the thing is that if you do not want unnecessary scrutiny on your visa application, it is good to avoid schools with large fees without funding.

Good morning my people, please, what is the waiting time for B1/B2 visa now?

Lol, baba God dey

Do you consider 40k USD as large fees for a program of 2 years?

Well it depends on how your interview goes, you should prepare yourself for any outcomes, that’s the spirit! Our conclusion now might not be what will happen on your interview. But always stay positive.
