Thanks for your advice. I have emailed the school and awaiting their response.

Yes, I have bank statement to cover for the remaining fees (living expenses and etc).

Lastly, do I need to fill a new DS-160 when reapplying ?

Also to re-book visa appointment, there is no where to rebook appointment, do I need to create a new profile entirely?

Also in your mail to the ISO, don't forget to attach the letter that shows your tuition waiver &the amount awarded to you for this.

rehearse your statement of purpose. Also, try to come up with a coherent research proposal with good research questions, and most importantly a research area that is virgin and suits the project of the faculty members. Lastly , study the overview of the intending course, why USA and that particular school, and write out questions you will also ask them at the end.
Thank you so much sir for this. I will appreciate more advice ....I am grateful

Tayoade19:


Truly, a critical look at the screenshot of your i20 shows nothing about the funding/tuition waiver. You will need the school to prepare another i20 for you which will show that the COA=$47600 and *funding from school/tuition waiver=$22100*, family fund=$25500.
Without the asterisked part spelt out on your i20, the VO will not believe your story and the proof from your email. The school should give the proper breakdown on your i20, if truly you have the tuition waiver.

Tayoade19:


Also in your mail to the ISO, don't forget to attach the letter that shows your tuition waiver &the amount awarded to you for this.

The ISO have the details already. I provided them the letter during the issuance of my I-20 and that’s why tuition on that I-20 is just $4100. They have deducted the tuition waiver from it and that $4100 is just for other fees.

What they need to do is just to spell the calculation out on the I20, that’s the main issue that I will need to resolve.

The school needs to write the total tuition cost where they wrote 4,100 then they will write the amount they are deducting in the scholarship space.The VO propably thought the entire tuition was 4k and couldn't see the deduction

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Vahn: 2:43pm On Jun 10, 2021
Hello Everyone,

Please i gained admission into the university of Pittsburgh (katz business school), i was told that i have the ability to apply for jobs that can help with tuition and i was sent the link although they said it may be too early to secure an employment for fall. Although i have applied to 4 reasearch assistant roles

I have to pay a $1000, as deposit fee but i cant afford the whole tuition.


Please what can you advise me to do. I have my flight , visa, sevis ,first month rent, and feeding cash only.

Additionally (i have an admission form the Montclair State University i have not been granted my 1-20 yet, neither have i been granted graduate assistantships but they would need a bank statement, but the Major reason why i prefer Pittsburgh is because of the curriculum, its very very indepth and makes a lot of sense when compared to others. Its a Masters in Business Analytics and they have a concentration in Finance.

Good day friends, trust we are doing great? I pray may God grant all our heart desires. I need some clarification on my SEVIS and it has been disturbing me. I don't want the SEVIS to be my stumbling block.

I paid my SEVIS fee in December 2019 with the hope of using it in august 2020 but was unable to due to covid, so i differed my admission till this year. In Jan this year, the ISSI coordinator in my school told me that I don't need to pay a new SEVIS fee that she has updated my SEVIS record. But I just learnt that SEVIS is for a year last week. I have been issued my i20 with the old SEVIS number so I don't know what to do now? Will I pay a new SEVIS fee and inform the school? How about my i20? Please help me O. I am on my knees. I am about to secure a date. Anybody with suggestion or similar experience? Thanks in anticipation.

It would be safe to pay for another SEVIS Fee, the one with you has passed a year validity. The school can re-issue another within 24hrs to you. Best
