Why not use ur school address as ur "landing address"?
A very good point. Do you think if I do that I can put NO on my DS 160 application?

Use your school address as your landing address o, don't complicate things.
Also, she's your sis in law and not an immediate sibling or parent, you don't need to include her in your form.

Hello house,

I have been following this thread for a while now and have learnt a lot thanks to you guys who keep answering questions and giving your bright ideas.

Pls I have a serious concern.
My sister Inlaw is in USA on F1 visa last year meant to finish this year and my sponsor is her husband whom is my brother, also I put her US address as my landing address when I enter USA. Now I have two concerns:

1). Since her husband is my Sponsor, should I declare that I have a relation in USA on my DS 160 form or not??

2). Will my sponsor or the address info link me to her and show the VO that I actually have a relation in the USA if I say no(cos that’s what I really want to do)??
I appreciate your responses 🙏🏾

I take God beg Una pls be careful o A friend of mine in the US just called that her friend (not someone I know personally) went for her interview today, she was self sponsored but the agent had edited her i-20 to show that she was funded by the school. She was granted the visa but it seems the VO checked the i-20 on his system after she left and realized there were two different things. They called her back using a public address system and the VO asked for her funding letter which she could not provide, he then collected her white paper, returned her passport /gave her 221g administrative processing letter and told her to send them the funding letter via the consulate email, ofcourse they will confirm from the school. I don’t think I need to tell you that this ll probably end in a visa ban. Agent is telling her to write email to school now to beg them for funding, even if it’s 5k.. see how crazy that sounds? He don commot hand. This will put the school, Nigerians in general, and even funded students on
Nigerian agents I hail oh 😮😮😮
Did he think they won’t check the i-20 before issuing the visa nii?
The lady was also aware, didn’t she check the i-20 to see it said there was funding when she knew there wasn’t?
This isn’t good for visa hopefuls, another level of scrutiny unlocked 😢

He doesn’t have to cancel his present date. Just change your ds-160 number on cgi and send them an email to change your sevis number.
Thank you for this, however, he was intending on going with F2 dependents for the interview, the cgi page does not allow updates to F2 dependents profile. How do you think that will work?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by masquellett(m): 12:00am On Jul 27, 2023

I think if you can get a document from the school approving the late resumption, it might help.
school wont give that. They are suggesting deferment to spring

Please any recommendation for schools offering computer science for masters? and have a structured way of paying their tuition fee probably during an internship.

I want to switch course to computer science, already found a school (Maharishi international university) but will like to know if there are other schools that offers the same package like Maharishi university do.

thank you for your response

Hundreds of universities offer Master's in Computer Science, you just have to do your research on the one you prefer and start the process. You can use tools like ChatGPT etc to learn more about each of the schools on your mind.
Here are 20 universities in the US that offer master's degree in Computer Science with low tuition fees:

University of California, Santa Cruz (UC Santa Cruz)

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)

Texas A&M University (TAMU)

Colorado State University (CSU)

University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR)

University of Memphis (U of M)

University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)

University of North Dakota (UND)

University of Wyoming (UW)

Please note that these are just a few examples, and there are many other universities in the US that offer affordable master's degrees in Computer Science. It is important to do your research and compare different programs before making a decision.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing a university:

Tuition fees: The cost of tuition will vary depending on the university and the program.

Financial aid: Many universities offer financial aid to international students, so be sure to research what is available.

Program quality: Make sure the program is accredited and has a good reputation.

Location: Consider the location of the university and whether it is a good fit for you.

I hope this helps!

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by masquellett(m): 2:49pm On Jul 27, 2023
Hello guys, I need someone to be brutally honest with me.

I was given admission into two schools for MSC Accounting, now the issue is:

Interview is in august the 17th. First school starts August 19th. School will not extend I-20 or give letter of extension to me. That is the same school I filled in my DS-160 form for visa interview. I also intend on going for the interview with my two kids both on F2.
Also, second school starts August 28th. What are my options?
Should I update my interview profile with the I-20 from the second school and go alone to the interview without my kids? because I can only update my profile with the new ds-160 number. It does not allow me to update my kids ds-160 forms in the online profile.
OR differ my admission to spring to properly get an earlier date and prepare for school.

I will appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by topsykoko: 4:22pm On Jul 27, 2023
Hello guys,
Well done everyone and keep up the good job.
I want to make an enquiry on my F1 visa, i got a visa interview date of 28th Sept which is after school resumption of 29th Aug. I then applied for an emergency appointment after attaching my I-20 but was refused. Please can i get advise on how to move forward as i am skeptical about waiting till September. My application is for Lagos Embassy.
I would sincerely appreciate the help.

If you really wanna go with your kids I'd advice you to defer BUT you can just fill new DS-160 and update your profile. But the time frame is very close. I will advice a deferment and then go for the interview by October or November

Get an extention letter from the school and check if the school allow online schooling as your interview is so late for a month after resumption.

Just ask your school to give you a letter of extension and prepare to defend that at the embassy
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by sobastical: 5:57pm On Jul 27, 2023
If you're interview date is is way after resumption, please ask for extension letter BUT it's most ideally when if it's just 2 weeks interval

Nice points! I don't really know much about the US student visas and how long the process takes for an interview date to be assigned to someone, but I know some intending to get visitor's visas have their dates pushed all the way out 2 years from now... Not sure why thats the case.

@OP, I'd think you may want to reconsider your decision to go to the embassy with both of your kids for F-2 visas as that may reduce your chances.
Reason is that you, the parent have a plan to come over on an F-1 visa ( for full-time students), and you want 2 of your kids to come with an F-2 visa (for dependants).

So, if you intend being a full-time student ( which will definitely change over time), who will take care of your dependants?

The US embassies don't want visitors and students to become "public charge" in the country and that means they easily deny people that will end up relying on the system or begging everyone to survive.

It doesn't apply to you if you have enough funds for you and your dependants, a thriving business in Nigeria that's capable of sustaining you and your family in the US while u're studying or you have a sponsor willing to handle the expenses on your behalf and those of your kids. Otherwise, they may just assume u're just trying to japa with your family and never return.

I think that's why many people get denied at US embassies - if u have businesses, landed properties etc and can prove it to them, they will easily allow you and members of ur family.

What many people do is first take care of themselves, get themselves together, and then bring their families. Not the Oliver Twist route.

Just my 2-cents.

All the best!

Hello good people, why would the Cgi portal not showing rescheduled tab. It is only showing cancel and emergency. It is for a family member please. She was previously denied and has rescheduled 2 times . Thanks
Same here as well. Abuja embassy. I don’t know why the reschedule tab isn’t available. I’ve only rescheduled once and it has always been there until about 3 days ago. Maybe no one knows why
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by FK2022: 5:48am On Jul 28, 2023
The policy has just changed. Each person is now only allowed 1 reschedule after the initial selection. To get the chance for closer dates, you can pay another visa fee.

hello guys, I got my visa approved around June and will be leaving for the united states around mid-August. I have a medical problem, I am an hypertension patient and have been placed on hypertension-controlled medications. the medication is a lot and I am planning on taking medication that will last me for three months. The fear I have is the scrutiny and the questions I will face at the point of entry and how to answer questions bothering the medication at the point of entry. Moreover, I will like to know if anyone has been in this situation before and how best were able to maneuver this situation at the point of entry and at the united states since I need to see a physician in the united states and I was told insurance is not cheap.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Sisib15: 10:53am On Jul 28, 2023
Nobody will ask you about your medicine at the POE. Take enough that will last you. Keep some in your carry on and others in your check _in bag
