Hello, my sister got a full tuition scholarship in the USA, however, she is required to show proof of funds of 14k USD to cover living expenses. I have my friend ready to provide an affidavit of sponsorship as well as a bank statement. There's also the option of getting POF in her naira account. She works at Access bank, with reasonable pay.

Which funding source would be best for her chances of securing a visa? A US Sponsor (Brother) or Self Sponsorship. And how many months bank statement is typically required by the US Embassy, for F1?

A big congratulations! Can’t wait to testify like you. Pls wanted to know when you applied? Was it EA? Been searching for dates for Abuja . Haven’t been able to find and my EA was denied.

I filled out the online applications on June 15th, and immediately requested EA, because my school resumes on 22 August, EA was approved on June 22nd which was exactly 60 days to my school resumption

Someone should please add me to the group Whatsapp. 09023267645

VO: Why this School and course?

Me. Spoke about fit with work, how the course was going to help me transition from my role in internal audit to a sustainability analyst, how i am going to learn about concepts (mentioned core core concentration & courses) that would help bridge the knowledge gap. The school's curriculum worked for me, spoke about the associate dean's works and research and how they aligned with the role I'm playing to take after my degree....(she cuts me off at this point, says okay, that's fine)

VO: What countries have you been to ?

Me: USA. For a student exchange program & i spoke about what i did during the exchange. Then Ghana, on an educational field trip. Listed the places visited..(interrupts again)

VO: So who is covering your deficit

Me: My uncle. He's an electrical engineer, he owns Xyz Electric with offices in 4 states (named them) with a staff strength of 60 people. They specialize in electrical installations for both residential & industrial buildings and consult for companies on solar installations, he makes an average of 40-50million annually.

VO: Why this School and course?

Me. Public Health basically talks about preventive medicine. It's easier to prevent illnesses than treat. As a medical doctor, I have managed cases where patients presented with complications and endstages of diseases which could easily be prevented. Diseases like hypertension, diabetes, Cancers could be prevented leading to less morbidty and mortality. Also, Nigeria has been plaqued with atleast 5 emerging and reemerging Infectious diseases like Ebola, Lassa.. with this degree, I'll be equipped with the skills and knowledge inwhich I'll use to mitigate the problems of public health in Nigeria especially when it comes to chronic diseases and infectious diseases.

I choose Charlotte because I'll be opportuned to work with and be mentored under a renowned professor of Public health, Prof... who's research interest is purely on chronic diseases and Infectious diseases and it's tandem with my line of interest.

VO: Who's covering your deficit?

Me: apart from my research assistantship which covers my welfare and part tuition, my dad Prof... who's a Prof of business management, university of ... for 25 years and also a public servant for over 35years... (cuts me short)..

VO: I'm sorry...

Hello Ladies and Gentelemen, I am quite new to this platform.
Please i need sincere comment on this.

got admitted for a Masters in Electrical engineering to a US school (Drexel Uni.) with $10,00 funding and a deficit of $53,000 (COA)
i have a personal savings of $3000 and i took an Educational loan of $50,000 from Mpower

my interview at Abuja is few weeks from now.

1. Do you know anyone that was approved with majority of funding from educational Loan?

2. If so, will it be a matter of convicing the VO of my Payment plan?

3. How slim is my chances of getting approved in % ?

URGENT HONEST REPLY PLEASE

definitely don’t say you plan to move back to Nigeria after you graduate because it’s not realistic to pay loans of that amount with a job in Nigeria except you can convince the VO that you’ll work for a multinational company that pays well (not local currency)

I was so calm, confident and honest with my responses until she gave me the blue slip. It felt like a movie. After spending sleepless nights searching for appointment date.. my school doesn't defer and I'm going to lose my RA. Hmm!!

Can you complete the response.
But the F1 visa requires you to demonstrate that you will be returning back to your home country.
