Thblad:
Hello,
So, this is it
I am in a WhatsApp group that makes it sound very impossible to get a visa with full sponsorship. They say you have to get funding or support with your personal funds.

Well, reality:
1. This is my first time applying
2. I am 35yrs, single
3. Program: Msc Financial Economics.
4. Present qualifications: Bsc Economics, Chartered Accountant.
5. A brief of my work history: presently, I am a Senior Accountant in a university earning 170k monthly (worked for 3yrs), and I have worked in a pharmaceutical company before now, earning 100k (4yrs)
6. The uncle no be my real uncle sha.
7. The uncle sells computers hardwares.

The Lamba I want to create:
1. I am an orphan. My uncle is my mother's brother who has been responsible for me since age 5. So he is more to say, my father.
2. Before working at the University, I have worked in his firm while writing my professional exams. I decided to go to the University because I want to have a professional experience with a much more bigger and complex organization. This is because, our company (my uncles' is expanding).
3. For home ties: I will be coming back to take a role
As a financial controller in my uncle's firm as my uncle is looking to expand into asset management and consulting services, so I will be managing this part of the business. Also, I am in a serious relationship and will be coming back to build a family.
5. I also want to say, he has children who has schooled abroad and are managing different part of his business (but he has his details with the US Embassy and em children still small).
6. What I submitted for my I-20 was full sponsorship from his accont. Can I add (during the interview) that I will be supporting with my personal savings (maybe 10m) and give them a bank statement. (I hope it will not contradict my I-20, and I hope the money is enough sha). Since I cannot change my I-20
7. I want to add that the uncle is a software developer and sells accounting and management softwares to large firms.
8. This means I will have to change my Ds_160 and change some things on my LinkedIn in profile.
9. Please note that, there is a .minimum I can lie about my present place of work. If you just type my name on Google bayi, na my work place go first appear.
10. I want to increase my monthly income to 200k or 250k so it reflect my savings.

11.See ehn bro, I read and still reading the transcripts of nairaland (although far back as 2016 and 2017) and some people were given visa based on full sponsorship from their uncle or aunt. I don't know why this group wey I join just dey confuse me.

My school didn’t request for deposits to be made, they requested for bank statements,financial forms and sponsorship letter which were sent, I am currently overseeing the financial, marketing and administrative part of the hospital and I have been working in that capacity for over 5years this year will make it 6years I was promoted to that position after 2years of my entry position.

Ebdumi:
Did you make any school fees deposit ?

How made the deposit?

Because for me 7 years no promotion, then now they wan to sponsor you, looks fake.

Is not just saying things but backing them with proof.

Good afternoon to all Visa experts and USA aspirants in the house

I recently applied for an F-1 visa and got an appointment date for late October meanwhile I’m supposed to resume in September 😢

I was advised to fill an emergency request for expedited visa appointment which I did immediately. Now I have a gotten a ‘denial’ response to the request, meaning that my October appointment stands.

I need expert advice on this situation PLEASE

1. If I proceed for the interview in October for a program that should have resumed in September, I’ll most likely be denied 🙅‍♂️

2. If I were to defer my resumption till January, My I-20 already has the September resumption date and I’m not sure how that would affect the visa decision (even if I get a supporting document to that effect, I’m not even certain of that yet)

3. Any other possibility of getting an earlier date for appointment

Thank you

Hey 🤠


1. Terminate your membership of that group ASAP. That is the kind of groups that have failed and misled lots of applicants in Nigeria and on Nairaland.

2. Their aims are to cajole applicants into applying to some particular schools in the USA (where they usually have their own profits as the representative agents in Nigeria ).

3. Another worst reality is that most of those sham scholarships written on your Form I 20s are not accessible when you finally land in USA. They (the schools will come out with impossible conditions for you before you can access it).

4. USA embassies knows those schools and they have them on files. Therefore , run away from anyone mandating you to apply into some set of schools all because of scholarships.

5. You don't need scholarship or funds as a visa determinant if your sponsor is 100% financially capable to support or cover your expenses

6.The only kind of student who must fight for at least 65% of fundings are Phd students.

7. Pls don't misunderstand my opinions . Scholarships and funds gives the consular the impression that you are an outstanding student but it is not a VISA determining factor for Bsc & Msc students if their sponsors are more than capable to fund their education.

8.My friend go ahead. You seems to know what you are doing. Your academic with job profiles are better.

9. Quoting you, [/b]I am in a WhatsApp group that makes it sound very impossible to get a visa with full sponsorship. They say you have to get funding or support with your personal funds.

[b]Not true ! They want to introduce counterfeit bank statements to you Or fake scholarships from their allied schools.




Best Wishes 🙏

Goodday house ,

please did not quite see the thread but just wanted to know what are the possible Tourist visa appointment dates(period) one can get if one is applying for the USA visa now from Nigeria , like can one get 2024 dates . and is their a way to track to get at least early dates. thank you for your feedback soon.

Thblad:
Chai Bros your own no go spoil o. I really appreciate you for your time. God bless you.

1. Please help me go through my lamba and see if they all make sense.
2. I applied for emergency visa and it was denied. My classes resume 16th of August but my earliest resumption date is 17th July. Those in the group said maybe its because I applied earlier than 60 day before my resumption date. Ewo! I'm tired.
I don't know if I should write to the school.

Thanks once again. I don't take thia for granted

Hey 🤠


1. The University you applied to (though accredited but) contributed 35% towards your visa denial. Its a Private Roman Catholic University which was known as Rosary College until the year 1997. It is also affiliated to the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters. Some schools has underground meanings in America.

2. The consular officer discovered another misrepresentation in your proof of funds permutations (despite the fact that you might be right) ;

* Employer = To cover 30185
* You = To cover the remaining: 1,169

How can a reputable employer leaves you with such a little amount ? With the above quotas , the CO thinks that your employer is supposed to leave no stone unturned.

3. In the USA, clinicians (doctors and nurses) are already doing or taking the position of a healthcare administrator, and therefore, you will most likely have to have MBA/MHA with few years of experience to even have a chance. STEM-MBA would have been better .

4. Therefore , i will justify @Ebdumi that you should not have gone for Healthcare Management after having held your positions for 7 years . STEM-MBA/Msc Economics etc would have been some better courses.

5. You did not impress the consular officer (in proving ties , genuine intention, doubts your sponsor's letter and felt you applied to that school because of Her flexibilities in admission criteria.

Thanks for being helpful, their admission criteria wasn’t flexible as one may think, it was a long, tedious and cost effective process I had to send my transcripts for evaluation as one of the major admission criteria’s also my years of work experience, letter of recommendation and my letter of purpose were the basis of requirements for an admission decision to be met. The business school for this program at this institution is AACSB accredited which is the gold standard of accreditation in business schools and is only 5% of business schools worldwide that meet this criteria.
secondly healthcare managers/administrators aren't necessarily doctors or nurses people for real go to study this program.
MSc is also a good fit for my years of experience as this will enable me advance in my career within the health sector but I also believe with an MBA I can also diversify in my career pursuits.
I believe my major problem was from the funding aspect of it. That’s my own take Though.

GodsFavour2024:
Hello Gurus,

I applied to four schools in the US, however, only one school gave me admission, others knack me reject.

So I am a bit concern as regards what to say if the VO ask: How many school gave me admission. Just looking for a better way to sell my story considering i got only one admit. It is for PhD and it is funded too.

I would appreciate your response.

Hey 🤠


* Consular officers does not ask that question from every student . That is why i go against general transcripts.

1. I like a distance relative answer to one consular who asked such question , she (my cousin) said " My first application was submitted to Columbia University and you can see that i was admitted with stipends " Are you asking me why did i stopped applying to (lesser) other schools ? She got her visa eventually.

2. You are a PhD applicant. Don't study Bsc and Msc transcripts. PhD application is not easy to spread out .
