Very well understood. I sent you an email

Abort! Abort!! Abort!!!
I was kidding oooo. I think you should search yourself, no one can answer that question for you but I could give you an example.
My friend decided to study nursing because when her father was terribly ill and admitted at the hospital, he was ignored by the nurses and eventually died. In that pain she vowed that she would become a nurse and the change she desires would begin with her...
This is not super story. My point is you need to find the answer for yourself, by yourself so when you are responding to the question, it would flow freely from within and not some memorized or generic gyitubglprdduzxcb!
I wish you well.

YES...A US CITIZEN can be ur sponsor. you'd only have to convince the VO as to why he/she is willing to foot your bills.
Documents required are mainly the SPONSORS STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT.
Your latter Q depends on the schools policy....If u are requested by the school to make tuition part payment. Then you.will...
if not required...No need.
Bless.

Are you sure about spring? You know the chances of getting funding are kinda low, right?
No matter what, I'd be rooting for you my friend, whether we get to meet or not grin

Good evening everyone. Here’s my profile, I was refused F1 visa last year July in lag. It was my first time, I didn’t sit for any standardized test at that time, nor have I been outside Nigeria at that time all these the V. O at that time asked me tplus I stuttered a lot and wasn’t loud with my response also my SOA wasn’t in order at the time.

Fast forward to today, I am going for interview again this coming week.
My profile: sat for Toefl and GRE.
Traveled to another African country last year.
Got admitted to another school different from the the previous one! UNH now.
Also got some partial scholarship 20%
Remaining deficit =27706$
Course = sports management MS
I am 27.
I have a SOA from my uncle about 10.4m and a refrence letter from his company.



What could you suggest in my case below is my intended transcript.

Me:Good morning
V.O: good morning
Pass your pspt and i20 form.
Me: sure
VO: where are you going to?
Me: UNH for masters study in Sports mgt.
VO: how did you know about the school?
Me: An alumni told me about the school, and I discovered according to Princeton review it’s one of the top ranked universities that has an active research status in southern New England region.
VO: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 5
VO:how many admits
Me: so far 3 admits, 1 reject and 1 pending
VO: did you write any test?
Me: yes GRE , TOEFL
VO: scores ?
Me: 284, 83
VO: why UNH?
Me: Apart from the partial scholarship, my course adviser Dr Ceyda Mumcu is keen to have me work with her research team she’s currently conducting a research in the area of sports facility management and this aligns with my undergraduate final year research work as a graduate of project management. So this will serve as a step for me!
VO: what will this course do for you?
Me: after completion when I must have garnered the required knowledge and professional skills, I will be working as a sports facility manager in Nigeria sports institution like the NFF, to help tackle problems of poor facility management and poor maintenance operations. Also in the long run I plan to establish a sports camp or recreational park where I can work to promote physical fitness among children and adults in my community.

VO: Tell me about your research Area?
Me: I will be focusing on the area of Sports Facility management. I will be working under supervision to deal on analysis of sports facility management and its impact on financial stability of sports institution.

VO: who is your sponsor?
Me: my uncle,
VO: what does he do?
Me: he owns so so which has branches in bla bla cities.
VO: how long has he been sponsoring
Me: since 2010 my undergraduate days.
VO: congratulations your visa is approved
Amen!

Please constructive criticism is welcome. Let me know what you guys think.
Gurus in the house please! Time2win, fairheart, Lagosismyhome, bracelum, Shawarma. I am sorry if I left anyone out it’s not intentional. God bless.
Abeg no vex, no be say I no see diz ya transcript since ooo, I get Visa fever so body no gree me comment for your transcript. Gurus biko take over grin
However, I think you have great responses, kinda shows you know what you want. Yet, judging from your past experience, I think your focus shouldn't just be on "what to say" but "how to say what needs to be said". I mean your delivery. You would need intensive sessions of mock interview, someone needs to drill you hard so you can get comfortable with PRESSURE. Pressure is the enemy!
A friend once told me it's not bad to stutter, it shows you are human and not a robot that memorized answers, but he also said "don't stutter too much, you will ruin the communication"
I wish there was more I could do for you, I am sorry.
I wish you well, let's go get that visa.

Am not going to Utah because of Umu Nwanyi Biko Nwanyi Oma.
It's just that the schools have a cheap admission procedures. No Transcripts, No Test scores, No Essays. In as much as am still afraid all these may be a red flag on Interview day, am still happy because they're accepting Spring applications.
Honestly am tired of staying in Nigeria.

More over, Two are in Utah (Weber state and Utah Valley), One in Minnesota(Minnesota state, Mankato).

Please I need your advice, I went for my interview for spring admission and I was rejected, when I needed my I20, my sponsor (uncle)was low on funds, so I used another sponsor (my aunt), my interview is imminent and my uncle now has enough fund , I have been battling with a suitable answer for y the change in sponsor, can I fill a new ds160 and change my sponsor to my uncle cuz he was my sponsor for my last interview or will it raise questions.
Note that I have partial funding now and my I20 says 'family funds'
My second question is how close to my interview can I refill my ds160

Drop your first transcript for better advice.
You must submit your DS 160 at least 3 days before your interview .

Vo: good morning
Me: Good morning
Vo: why are you going to the Us?
Me: I am going to the us to study for a masters in petrophysics with a major in geophysics and seismology at tamuk
Vo: oh Texas A$M, I'm an alumni
Me: really, what campus
Vo: college station
Vo: so why petrophysics
Me:my final thesis was carried out in a rural area, I was exposed to the situation of the rural communities and I was surprised to see they their only source of water was a river, I made enquiries and I found out it was due to lack of funds. My goal is to develop cheaper well technologies ensure environmental sustainability ( I don't think I said it like this but this was the gist, I was carried away by the Vo's friendliness)
Vo: who is your sponsor (I had no scholarship)
Me: my uncle
Vo: what does he do
Me: he is an estate developer
She asked for my plan after school, I said I'd be taking up a lecturing job at my alma matter

My interview was after my resumption date, I took an extension letter, Vo didn't ask, as I wanted to tell her, she brought out the blue paper

Ok you were carried away with the gist for sure.
Because what you will be doing after your program has to aligne with the response you gave to why this course.
For your SOA, you can take more than one to the embassy and it is absolutely cool.


You can say you changed sponsor now because you've got some scholarship which reduced the deficit to something your sponsor can comfortably afford.

Depends on the V.O you meet. Though many people get visa without any travel history, travel history matters and helps.
