Bsc English and Literature
Stillman College, Alabama
Funding: $14000

Vo: when did you finish high school
Me: 2017

Vo: what have you been doing since then
Me: After finishing high school, I decided to take 2 years off to really find out what I want to do in life so throughout 2018 and 2019, I interned at EBS and interning at EBS made me realise I wanted to become a journalist so in 2020, I took a foundation course in English and the University of Benin and ended it in 2021, after that, I decided to study in the US and luckily, Bleep gave me a wonderful scholarship ..

Vo: who will be sponsoring your studies
Me: My Dad


Next thing, blue paper.....

I was not asked any question related to my family but I was denied because I do not have strong ties to my country...

Me: You’re welcome

VO: What do you do
Me: I work as a Pay-per-click specialist at Pink Orange Media where I set up digital marketing campaigns for search engines like Google, Microsoft Bing and Yahoo. My primary duties include creating the campaign blueprint, building landing pages and one-page website, installing pixels, and tag codes on the landing pages and websites for conversion tracking, Installing software development kits on Android Studio and iOS to enable proper conversion tracking for app installations and engagement ads, creating report dashboards on Google data Studio.

Me: I’d be returning to my current place of employment to take up the role of a Chief Technology Officer, where I’d be leading the technology team to work on the project of building a digital tool that would seamlessly integrate with advertising platforms to solve the recurring problem of transparency in data storage and usage for the purpose of digital remarketing.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by unstoppable1: 11:05am On Jun 28, 2022
Good morning all,

Please I need your advice on the next steps to take.

I already bought a return ticket to travel for my annual vacation next week Tuesday (July 5) on my B1/B2 Visa before I got an offer from the University of Maryland for MBA/MSc Information Systems (Fall 2022) with partial funding and a graduate assistantship.

I have made the first deposit and the school has sent the I-20 with the earliest admission date of July 23 and a program start date of August 22. However, I am yet to apply for a student visa because the available dates are way after the start date.

Please I need your opinions on whether it is wise to proceed with my travel as planned and try to change to F1 after I arrive in the US either by going to Mexico or wait in Nigeria till a date becomes available because I don't want complications. A newly admitted student in the same program told me that she paid an agent for an interview date but hasn't gotten in more than 2wks. I don't want to pay an exorbitant fee to change my ticket and still not get an interview date to enable me to join this cohort. That would mean deferring till January 2023 and the funding isn't guaranteed.

Please is there anyone here who has gone the route of applying for an F1 visa from neighbouring US countries or changed from B1/B2 to F1 in recent times? Please what is the success rate? I know that applying from Nigeria isn't certain and I am mindful of that as well because if the student visa is denied, entering the US on a visit visa becomes questionable because of a change of intent.

I have extensive travel history and never overstayed my visas. I have renewed my US Visa multiple times without issues and do not want to jeopardize that.

Please help.

Thank you

Change of status will take you at least a year. And the school will not accept you to school as B1/B2.
I have B1/B2 but I have had to apply for F1.

You should apply for F1. Get the date available and then request for emergency visa date. If you follow this thread you'd see how people go about requesting for the emergency date. I don't have indept knowledge of it as I didn't have to go that route.

The time you have is too short
I would go on my vacation for now
changing status while in the states works if you have where to stay without spending much
but to go this route you have to differ your admission to next year

besides, that is exactly what it is tending toward now

as for applying from MEXICO, I have no idea
