I want to book appointment for interview online. So I want the website where I'll book it.

Immunity04:
Please, I have a meeting Meeting with a Professor on Tuesday at 9:30 AM EDT. What is the corresponding time in Nigeria, so that I don't miss my schedule. I'm not finding a clear answer online 😏

BigIyanga:
New York is on EST
Lagos is on WAT.. +5hrs. You’re 5 hours ahead. So 2.30pm Naija time. But confirm from your professor. It doesnt hurt if you’re early . Good luck

Immunity04:
Please guys I need an honest answer. My school website have been down for like a month now and my Recommenders can't even acess their institutional mail. They confirmed it has been happening and they often send with their personal email ( gmail, yahoo etc). Note, no one knows how soon this will end.

Now my question is, if they write with their personal email will it affect my chances of being admitted and being considered for funding too? Remember, they are always ready to defend when being contacted.

Please how can i get to Washington State from Newark in New Jersey and what's the cheapest price and route?

GboyegaD:
Have you tried contacting the institutions you are planning to attend and get them to advise if they are willing to take emails from those channels?

Immunity04:
I've written to them but no replies yet.

VO: How many schools did you apply to??
ME: I applied to two schools, Morgan state university and Murray State University.

VO:Why did you choose Murray state university??
ME: A colleague of mine did his MBA at Murray State University and recommended the school to me. Also, Public and community health program is broad in its orientation and allows students to address topics ranging from narrative approaches to understanding health counselling, health behavior, environmental health and strategies used to implements health interventions which align with my career goal.The school was also ranked among 2023 Best Graduate school for Masters of public Administration by U.S news and world report.

VO: I see you have no funding, who is paying for this??
ME: My husband will be my sponsor

VO: What does your husband do?
ME: He is a medical doctor at Federal Medical center, ABK. He also supplies medical equipments such as electrosurgery, pulse oximetry,orthoscope, microscope and so on.

ME: He earns #600,000

I watched slots of YouTube video s that says "do not show the VO documents unless you are asked to". I was expecting her to ask for my proof of funds but she didn't. I should have indicated that my husband earns #600,000 monthly.
I need your suggestions house.

I think you should work on why you chose the school. While the school is rated among the best, that was the only thing you said about choosing the school.

In addition, your sponsor's finances does not necessarily support the cost of your program. He earns less than $1000 monthly and he needs should $17000 per year which is at least about 1.5 times his gross income if he decides not to spend a dime out of it. Next time, I will encourage you mention that and also include his earnings from his business. That way, it justifies his ability to sponsor you without you either resorting to working or depending on public funds.

Finance was the main problem here. Your COA should not take more than 3months of your sponsors annual income (seeing as you don’t have funding from the school).

Again, What is his area of specialization - is he a cardiologist, ophthalmologist? Years of experience? How much does he make from selling of the medical equipment? You could expatiate on that too, these little details make your story compelling. Your answers were too straightforward.

You might also wanna add other sources of income like landed properties, you could also include your business or job stating how much you’ve saved so far. For instance: (....in addition to all these I have personal funds of about 5 million in savings having worked in XYZ establishment as a.... for over a period of XYZ years). There’s no rule that states only your husband must be the sponsor.

Better still If you can get funding from the school, then this case is already an easy one seeing as you already have hometies in the person of your husband. Best of luck.

krcboy:
Next time include that you also have savings of x amount that you have saved up from working for X number years , that way it shows that na you want this masters and you have been saving towards it cos its your goal to move ahead and get better work oppurtunities and good salary when u return to Nigeria. Just dumping 17k dolls on ur husband alone looks weird. I dunno if you get me.

My son and I applied for an F-2 visa to visit my wife, who recently gave birth last month.

I checked my online visa interview appointment history, and there's a box that says 'Is Dependent: False.' for my own application.

What does this mean? Can anyone explain it to me? Thank you very much.

Good evening everyone,

I used self sponsor on my school application form when I was applying together with my statement of account. Please would it be a problem if I use myself and my sponsor when applying for my visa because I didn’t add a sponsor during my school application?

Does the VO have access to the information a student submitted during their school application?

Thank you
