Good day house
Please what's the minimum amount for a sponsor to have in its account to tender to schools as bank statement?
Please guys, it's urgent
Thanks in advance

The minimum amount is your program's Cost of Attendance (your tuition, accommodation, health insurance cost for a whole year). You can present more than that but not lesser then the total cost. Also it must be within 3-6months period. Check with your School to know their requirements.

Please is it possible to get a date earlier than what I already chose on the CGI portal (the date I was given and I chose was June 2023)
But each time I login to reschedule when someone updates an earlier date I'm always seeing July 2023.
Will I ever see an earlier date flash on my screen or do I need to cancel this June date?
Thank you.

Good day ,

Please does anyone have idea why I'm getting an error message There're no appointments available at this time each time I try booking an appointment on the CGI portal.

Actually, My F1 VISA was denied in August 2022 and whenever I click on previously refused on the visa priority tab, I get the error. However, if I Click on the Regular option, I'm able to see appointment dates.

Hello everyone,
Please I need help with my question, can someone apply for F1 visa from the UK?

My friend is a registered nurse in the UK, and recently got masters admission in MPH for spring 2023.

Self sponsored, can he apply for F1 from the UK?
How do he show ties and convince the visa officer that he will come back to Nigeria or to the UK?
Did he have any chances of getting the visa from the UK or does he need to come to Nigeria to apply for the f1 visa.
Please help.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by fairheart(m): 5:59pm On Sep 11, 2022
It depends on the applicant's case. Last 2 months, one of the guys who reached out to me here applied with his wife and child, and they were approve at the same spot -- without/with assistantship. If the case is without assistantship, I recommend they drop the f2 for now and apply alone, and the family can join later. Sometimes, I suggest they try together, if they are refused, the f1 try alone and f2 can join later. It always work, but it is case by case.

Gokoyer1401:
F2 visa na something.
Thank you for your contribution.
Why the VO asked why OP didn't apply together with her husband? Does it mean that OP might get the F2 visa had it been that she applied with her husband (F1)?

Yes, she can do that!
I don't know how the self-sponsor will work out. This is the angle to look at things from how much is in the account. Will it cover 2 years of the program or is it only one year? If it is just one year (which is the least amount you need to show), the consular will be looking at it from this angle: where do you get additional funds when the one-year fee in the student account is expended? You can't work on f1. So, I personally don't like the idea of f1 self-sponsor. Some VOs may not care, but most do...especially a nurse. It may give the impression that she will want to work illegally or be out of status when the one-year funds in her account are expended.

I advise her to co-sponsor. She finds a family member as a sponsor, saying she will be paying for her living expenses from the funds she saved up over the years while working in the UK. Also, there is a possibility she may be refused and told to apply from Nigeria. So, she should apply with this information in mind.

This is just my opinion, from experience.

You can see an earlier date, but the way the date system works, you may not see the same date that someone who does not have an appointment sees. In some cases, to see an earlier date, you may have to cancel the current one. This automatically puts you in the pool of those who did not have a current appointment so that when new dates are released, you also see it.

A lot has changed. Before, you can have a date and see earlier dates that those without appointments are seeing. But these days, it is complicated.

It is not advised to apply to one school. And yes, your friend was right. You could be refused, and several students have been refused in the past for just this. The standard is 2-4 for graduate school and 4 for undergraduate. If you were to get admission through guidance from EducationUSA, they would only take you if you apply to multiple schools.

It is safe for you too. Of course, people apply to one school and lie at the embassy that they did multiple.

You can send your applications now to one or two schools.

However, if you have been given admission already, I think you should go ahead and interview for your visa.

I applied to four schools.

A professor in one of the schools strongly advised me to apply to at least three schools. She said it helps one to not miss admission that particular year.

Many people who applied only one school get their visa approved. especially if it’s a top ranked school and they got funding early on so they decided not to apply to additional school)

It’s advised to apply to at least 3-5 schoolsbut if you only did one and have a good reason for that then it shouldn’t be an issue. But again, if it’s not a highly ranked school then VO might think you only applied to 1 school out of laziness
