Guys.. My friend just got a fully funded MSc program in florida.

Would the scholarship make his visa approval 90 percent sure??

Because he's still struggling to raise money for sevice fee and visa fee and I'm looking to help him.

Those who got fully sponsorship.. What's your experience??

congratulations to your friend. He has higher chances of getting visa. He should prove his home-tie.

Btw, is it Florida state university or university of South Florida?

Congratulations on your win.
I pray this will be my story too.

Please can you help add me to the mock interview WhatsApp group. 09092249166.

I have been trying to get in for a while now.
Or if you have the link to the group.

I got this message when I tried scheduling USA F1 F2 visa appointment in Lagos "Your request to schedule an appointment has been received and will be reviewed. You will receive an email once your request is approved"

Hello everyone, for a f2 visa interview , do i need to go along with my under age kids?

Got an offer letter from the department but no official admission letter yet for the past one week. Who should I write to; the professor that accepted me or the graduate program director or the graduate school?

Write to your grad coordinator and copy akl of them

Congratulations man! Happy for you.

Sometimes departmental decisions and graduate school offer takes a while, you can shoot a mail to the graduate school to help expedite the process. Explain to them that you're an international student and you'll need your admission offer on time to enable you process your F1 visa.

@ everyone is it okay to take two bank statements for interview, when you only stated one account on your 120? The account belongs to mum and husband. Mothers bank statement covers everything for a year.

Hello everyone
Can a company offer four years study leave to someone who has worked with them for just 3 months?

Need help !

This isn’t possible
Companies put you on probation for 3-6 months before you’re even confirmed. For a study leave, 3 years or more

Davegabriel:

I think you can. You might not even have the opportunity to show them the statements. The VOs really don’t like looking at documents, so most times they don’t ask. Just ensure your story is convincing enough and that you can defend it properly.

I learnt the designing work I'm doing on the company but I was fully recruited as a worker on January. I have gotten my study leave letter already but I don't know if that'll be a problem for me coz I want to go with the letter on my interview day. The vo might think it's not possible but I've been with the company for A year plus

Congratulations!!!

We pray for many approvals.

luvlyoracle:
All these admissions y'all are getting, you pay admission fees of 75$ for all

I really need someone to put me through.

Application fees varies. Apply for application waiver if you don't have money.

Ithink you can. You might not even have the opportunity to show them the statements. The VOs really don’t like looking at documents, so most times they don’t ask. Just ensure your story is convincing enough and that you can defend it properly.

Thanks for the response.

Because he's still struggling to raise money for sevice fee and visa fee and I'm looking to help him.

Those who got fully sponsorship.. What's your experience??

No guarantee tho, but it raises the bar for him. Assist him. The main thing he has to defend now is home tie. Advise him to join mock sessions.

We will all see ourselves in Yankee.
