Good morning everyone,Please I really need your counsel, it is urgent.
F1 visa appointments are filling up fast and my resumption date is fast approaching.
I already have my SEVIS ID.
My question is this- is it possible to book my Visa appointment without paying for my SEVIS Fee, because SEVIS fee payment might
delay a little.
I will appreciate your replies from anyone with experience.
@Winterstorm- I will appreciate your input.
Thanks.

Auspicious2018:
My first interview.

*Why Business Analytics*
My passion for Business Analytics was sparked up when I helplessly watched my previous company fold up due to lack of business insights and strategies. During the course of running my business, I have seen a crucial need to leverage data in making accurate decisions. In other to get my business to the summit and help other businesses in Nigeria thrive, I realized I require more education and training. Hence my resolve for business Analytics

*How did you know about UTdallas*
I got to know about UTdallas from topuniversities.com when searching for schools offering business Analytics

*How did you know about Business Analytics*
I stumbled on a journal on Big Data by Harvard Business school in Novare mall. After going through it, I realized business Analytics was exactly what I needed.

*What's your company into*
My company is into exterior building finishes. Cladding, glass curtain wall and structural glass work

*Staff strength*
15

*Why not an MBA*
An MBA is generic and covers various aspects. Business Analytics is specific and uses evidence based data for decisions. Modern tools are used to collect data and analyse them for trends to make accurate decisions. Decision is very crucial and as one who wants to set up a pioneer Business Intelligence firm in Nigeria, Business Analytics is what I really need now

*You have kids*
Yes I do

*Will they be going with you*
Yes. They are very young and require all motherly care and affection

*How about your husband*
He will be taking care of them while I focus on my studies

How much is your tuition*
I have the Dean's excellence scholarship which reduces my tuition by 50%. So I'll be paying about $13,000

*Who will handle the rest*
My Uncle who is currently the Managing Director of xyz which has about 2 oil wells in Nigeria will be taking care of all other expenses.

*Can I have his statement*
Yes please. He looked through statement. Uncle had over $250,000 balance from last 6months

*Sorry I can't approve your visa at this time*.
Please any reasons for that?
He said I should look through the paper he gave me I'll understand.
I looked through and it was talking about home tie.

After thinking through the fact that I've had lots of career pauses due to being a nursing mother. I decided to leave my entire family behind as a tie and proceed for my masters.

Interview2 6:30 Today

*What University?*
University of Texas at Dallas
*What's your highest level of education?*
Bachelors
*When did you graduate?* 2012
**What have you been doing since then?*
After my NYSC in 2013, I got a job with *** Bank as Management trainee. I then moved to *** (offshoot KPMG) where I got exposed to advisory services. After this I worked with *** and later resigned to set up my business which I currently manage.
*What course are you going to study?*
Business Analytics
*What level?*
Masters
*What will it do for you?*
Business Analytics will equip me with managerial and technical skills required to expand my business and set up one of the very first Business Intelligence consultancy firms in Nigeria that will make use of modern tools and technologies to collect data, analyze them for trends and effectively transform data into recommendations and insights that will help business stakeholders make accurate, strategic and prompt decisions that will help them increase their efficiency, improve their business processes and increase their profitability.
*Who will pay?*
I have the Dean's excellence scholarship which reduces my tuition by 50%. My Uncle will take care of the others
*What does he do?*
He is the Managing Director of *** which has about 2 oil wells in Nigeria.
*Why are you spending so much on a masters since you have a business?*
There is never too much to invest in getting educated. This program will help me get my business to the summit. Having watched my previous company fold up due to lack of insights and strategies, I know I need more education and training since I'm from a science background. Working with *** advisory services, I realized lots of businesses needed advice on how to move their business forward. Business Analytics is an emerging field in Nigeria, so my firm will be one of the pioneer Business intelligence consultancy firms in Nigeria. With Business Analytics I'll be able to actualize both passion.
*Are you married?*
Yes I am
*Any kids?*
3
I'm sorry I can't approve your visa.
****They won't be accompanying me and I've made a list of my ties.
Her response was, I've made my decision....

Sorelee:
Im a VO and i am thinking, you have your personal business and you say 15 persons work under you, but you still rely on your rich uncle to sponsor 50% percent of your tuition fee not a single penny from you even when you own a business to support your academics. how is that so? or does your uncle also pay your workers?

I told him I'll take care of tuition while uncle will take care of other expenses. Read again.

The Vo even asked
*Why are you spending so much on a masters since you have a business?*

that statement should mean something to you

Please what does it mean? Is it a crime for a business owner to go for a masters?

Sorelee:
You said your uncle will cover the rest 50%
