I don't know much about that.But it's like each of your dependents needs to be issued i-20 and while filling ds-160, you will be directed to a page(at the end of the ds-160) .On the page you see an option to create a family/group application.After this, you will create an individual application for each individual(your dependens).

Bosses in the house knows better.

@dregxyflexy

that is how it should be.

degxyflexy:
Thanks for the update, I am not sure my school will want to send a new updated I-20 because I already requested for one and they said they are not issuing new I-20 for Fall again. What if I write her name as it is on the passport and put her maiden name on the box for previous name?

you gat it
100%

except the citizens

You can not use an expired passport, the system will reject it trust me.

GFavor:


Hope this helps, the school will issue I-20 with that passport. I am in same boat. I asked my school and that gave me the 1-20. I went ahead to pay for Visa Fee. It was accepted. I am yet to fill the DS160 anyways. Someone said here that I can't use expired passport. But I need to start searching for dates before the new passport comes out.

Thanks ma'am

chibertha:

Hmm, Thanks. If the system does not accept it we are left with 2 options, wait for the new passport or apply alone for F1 & when their passport is out they apply for F2. But do we need to pay another Visa fee for the F2.

I was so down after the first denial but i didnt give up,instead i resulted to prayers and started looking for a solution and i stopped asking God for visa approval instead i started thanking him in advance. Luckily for me,one day i came across a post from facebook blogger who posts about students visa journey, contacted him,so he directed me to Nairaland and from there i joined many groups.Joining NL opened my eyes to somany things and that was when I realised that i literally went for my first interview without having the knowledge of how it works.I applied to only one school which gave me admission, never knew one can apply to more than 2schools .It was when i defered my admission that I applied to two more schools.

I'm grateful to God for leading me to the right path after the delay(I always pray with matt.7:7)
Did so many vigils,Fasted,been doing mother of perpetual help novena(I never missed this novena for 2yrs now)
Divine mercy prayers and thank you Jesus prayers(@Elvis I can't thank you enough for being a channel to God's kingdom,many thanks).Thank you Dayor,my Tenesse U.S friend from NL for all your helps especially with my ds-160.@⁨Nairaland Awosemo Rasaq⁩ for helping with my transcript and mock.@Moshkom for putting me through with my ds-160 and my social media handles.

Hello house.

I need clarification on this. I was admitted into one of the US universities. I have a deficit of about $20k after getting a RA to cover for the remaining costs.

In covering this deficit, I hope to use my personal savings and that of my parents. However, my mom keeps raw dollars with her which I hope to use to make up for the deficit.

Should I tell her to put the money in my Dom account? Is there a particular duration which the money should remain in my account before printing my bank statement? Will it raise eyebrows?

Meanwhile, I'm supposed to resume this August.

Your advise and contributions will be appreciated.

In the embassy of today, they don’t stress documents ‘seeing’ unlike before, just sound convincing to the VO on who is covering your deficit and what he or she does.
So, just get your i20. Even the school won’t care about the duration, just make the deficit available to them and they will give you your i20.
Get your i20 and move to the next stage. Don’t stay long on doing the most average thing.

No Time; No Available Visa Date Outta There.
Shoot!!!

Good Luck Champ!

I hardly see law students in this platform.
Is it that the course hardly get GA or TA?

A friend currently doing his Nysc and hoping to join law school soon asked me the aboved question today.

Majority of the people here are going for one course or the other, not Law.Tell your friend to email the school admission committee.

Chrisoo I also dont know much about this, but i suggest you go with two bank statements (the one on your i-20 and your brother's personal bank statement if he is willing to do that). Explain to the vo and let him/her know your brother is willing to cover the remaining deficit when need arises. Hope this helps.
