My story and transcript.

I applied for a masters in accounting program at East Tennessee State University in 2019 and I abandoned it at some point because they asked me for Gmat or Gre test result. In early 2020 just before Covid I paid the application fee because they kept buzzing me with reminder emails that my application isn't completed but at this time I had submitted every document required including my OND and BSc transcripts on the schools portal excluding gre and English test. In July 2020 I got an email from the school that I have been granted a waiver for gre and English test as a result of covid because they don't except any physical exam to take place. I was supposed to resume in August 2020 but before then I was offered admission with an international merit scholarship which was a partial scholarship. In order to secure the admission I was asked to fill a form to request for my I20. On this form you will indicate your marital status and also indicate who your sponsor is whether self or someone else. At the time I was single and I was 28yrs but my girlfriend was 24 and we have dating for 5 years from Uni days as we were classmates. So, at the time I had no money and I spoke to a distant uncle and he helped me with a 3 months bank statement which covered the remaining tuition after deducting the scholarship. I gave him a form sent to me by the school for him to fill as a sponsor, so he did. After all this process, i sent the request for I20 form , the bank statement and the form filled by distant uncle to the school. A week later I got my I20 showing my distant uncles fund as sponsor and my personal fund section of the I20 was zero. Unfortunately, I could not pay SEVIS fee at the time because even the US embassy in Nigeria was still observing lockdown then I deferred to Jan 2021. Approaching Nov 2020, the school by themselves sent me an updated I20 the only difference was the date for my program start date and when I am expected to finish. Few weeks later, I realised I had no money to pursue it and moreso I just got a job where I was earning in dollars in Lagos, before then I was a contract staff at PwC but I started working there in 2014 as an intern doing my IT after my OND before going for my BSc. So I often comeback during holidays to continue work part time then return to school when we resume. So I decided to defer again to Jan 2022 and I was told that's the last chance I have, after that deferment won't be allowed. In July 2021, I messaged the school on what I need to do to get a new I20 and i was told I have to start the process of requesting for it again. I reached out to my distant uncle and he said he has used the cash. I was stunned then I restrategised and spoke with my CEO and he said no issue I should let him know when I need it. On the day of my traditional marriage,just after the ceremony my mind was on my application and the school had told me I can reapply from that same day (it was just coincidental) then on my way back home I just submitted everything again, bank statement (this time around my personal bank statement and my CEO) and I indicated that I am married. Few weeks later in September I got two i20s for my wife and I. Surprisingly, my distant uncles name was still there as my sponsor and not my CEO what I now noticed was that they added my personal money to the CEOs money and put it as my personal fund on my i20. I was really confused but I sha left it that way and I told myself I have to defend this at the embassy that I really have this funds. So I sent money to my friend in the US to pay for my SEVIS fee then 3 business days after paying, I paid for visa fee for my wife and I. Then I went ahead to fill the DS160 form for my wife and I. Filled the form myself an agent I told me to bring 15k, but I did myself. After filling the form I tried scheduling an interview but I was given August 2022 as the earliest appointment date, I chose it like that even though my program is starting in Jan 2022. Then after choosing the date I got a prompt that I can apply for emergency date so I filled the emergency request form and attached my I20 as support document and also explained why I needed an emergency date. While I was doing all of these I had someone lined up to help me with proof of fund for UK and i was about to pay 1 million naira to borrow 20 million for 30 days as I have also gotten admission in several UK schools against Jan 2022 just as a back up for US. The few weeks later after applying for the emergency date I September 2021 I got an email from the embassy given us October 15, 2021 as interview date in lagos, same agent had told me to bring 150k each for my wife and I to get interview date for the US embassy.

Me: 2 million a month ( but I lied here because until j left I was earning 110k) but I just had to demonstrate that I have been earning alot since 2014 otherwise he will suspect the school made a mistake on my personal funds showing $40k. When filling tge DS160 form I had put it there i started work in 2014 and monthly salary is 2 million per month so I was consistent.

Me: I left because I wasn't getting the job satisfaction I desired and I got bored and tired of consulting and I wanted to move to the industry particularly real estate that's why i left, but my salary is more than $1k a month what you saw on my contract I showed you is my basic I still earn commissions from selling land in my office ( I confuse the guy)

Someone outside the country helped me pay for my application fees.

You could check barter by flutterwave. They have a virtual card you can use for payments

sourkandi:
Boss, I haven't heard of such procedure concerning an F-1 visa. Be careful so you don't jeopardize the whole process.

he confirmed it that it true what you said. Do you know how many days it takes to get an admission after submitting every document needed

Hello guys

Why is it taking forever for emergency request to be granted?

Is there any way I can follow up or I just have to keep waiting for their response?

Depending on the school, most colleges give certain application update dates between 1-3 months after applying. Also the results might be delayed if the school is dealing with lots of applicants.

You can send email to them.

Use third party and yours as a support. If the VO ask, tell him/her you’ll be responsible for your living expenses while your sponsor will pay your school fees.

Hello Boss, i would like to ask a question pls. I am filling an application to a particular school for graduate study but I am instructed(not optional) to report all the schools that i want to apply to also.

Should I list all the schools or I should just tell them one or two schools in the application? In case I withhold information like this, are they going to know at the end? I just don't want to mess up my chances because of this.

Hi folks, I've applied to Bowie state University. But I'm yet to pay, part of the requirement is that I send in my official transcript. My question now is: will my transcript has to be delivered before my admission status is being decided upon?
