Hello house,

You guys on this thread are unsung heroes of foreign admissions. This thread is the Nigeria the media won't show you.

I need your counsel. I have an admission into a postgraduate program in a US school for Fall. I just got my Form I-20. The source of funding stated therein is "Family Funds." Now, I've been recommended for a teaching assistantship by a professor (I've been in touch with) in the school & learned decisions would be made in the 2nd week of July. It's somewhat assured.

Do I go on ahead and schedule a visa interview using the expected Form I-20 with "Family Funds" as means, or do I wait to be awarded the assistantship, then order a new Form I-20 that would reflect the teaching assistantship? (I've heard from some quarters that your odds of getting a visa is better when an assistantship is listed as your funding source as opposed to family funds.)

Please help out. Thanks.

bbdd:
What are your chances of actually getting the assistantship.
If you've not been assured then don't waste your time.

igbonerd:
The department gets their yearly budget first week in July and makes assistantship decisions in the following week.
My professor of interest is the chair of graduate admissions and is interested in having me work with him. He gave me the assurance that I will secure it. Like I mentioned earlier, the decision would be made in the second week of July.
Are you advising that I wait till then, so I can order a fresh Form I20, before booking a visa interview?

buzibiza:
remember u will receive the new i20 by the 3rd or 4th week in July and that might be late if anything goes wrong on ur interview as per reapplying for another interview. Am not being pessimistic sha, jst for u to see all possible scenarios

slimmy05:
Go ahead with your interview. I don't see you having issues with your visa as you sound smart. Book your interview for 3rd week of July, if they eventually award you the assistantship your professor can send you a scanned type written document to that effect you can take to the embassy. I did same and didn't have any problem, it worked better for me knowing I was going to work with a professor who is also my Graduaye Cordinator.

ddbluv:
Patient dog eat the fattest bone. It depends on Your eagerness & school resumption Date. Bare in mind assistantship is no visa guarantee but u most likely have a 90% chance, a friend of mine got denied this January with full tuition waiver & assistantship

Arrived at the embassy soaked from rain and was very angry because my dad couldn't wait for the taxi driver who we had called thinking i would miss my interview. finally got to the embassy at 5:30am and had to wait till around 7 till they started. when i got into the embassy, at the entrance of the main building(not compound), a lady was told to go back outside because she was with a sealed envelope and the security personnel was saying it may be a letter bomb . finally got in and queued of thE line. dUE to the fact the i was wet and the A.C's were on, i began shivering and i taught the vo might think i'm shaking and scared. i began listening to people's interviews . the Asian guy asked one woman( probably in her 40's going for a student visa) why did you choose this school and not any other school in the united states o boy me sef i confuse i tried thinking of what to say but i knew that no matter what i say about a school, there are other schools which also offer or have that also. As my turn was approaching and it became evident that i may be interviewed by him, i shifted to the side of the line so that if he calls, i could tell the lady behind me to go that i want to arrange my documents . Gbam counter 4 a black woman. i said thank God

ME - Good day ma'am
VO - Good morning

VO - ranked by who
ME - Ehow( i don dey fear say she wan google the thing)

VO - sorry they are ranked what
ME - among the top 20 nursing programs in the North-eastern part of the US

Vo - ok

VO - so why this course ( nursing)
ME - well i believe that the standard of healthcare in nigeria can use a little upgrage....(cuts in)

VO - so why don't you go for medicine , why nursing?
ME - ( i was looking at the woman like wetin this woman dey talk doesn't she know i have to do a course first ) Well i have to do a four year couse before i wold be able to get into med school
