Vo; Why Do you choose Texas State University as your first trip abroad?

Me; Apart from the fact that the curriculum at Texas State University match directly with my career goal, which I will be taking core course like. Lean manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Project Management. And also Prof Ameri as agreed I join his research team upon my arrival on campus which we will be working on "How Ergonomics affect productivity in Manufacturing Industry", which would be very useful and more practical once I return to Nigeria.

What was ur deficit please?

SuperDuper12:
Is there any need for all sorts of immunisations for anyone going to US on F1 Visa. Just as some countries require Yellow Card

Immunisation is different from yellow card ... two separate things so don't mix it up

A lot of schools require immunisation so check with your parents regarding what u have done and you will have to do what hasnt been done

Yellow card is not needed for F1 visa

Hi guys, please I interview is 3rd of july Lagos consulate but right now I have an emergency thats holding me back in abuja, please how can I change my appointment location to abuja. Thank u

If you change, you can't get same 3rd July. If you want to change, you have to cancel the Lagos own and book another in abuja

Thank you but how can I check the available dates in abuja before I cancel my present appointment.

Has anyone used UPS to receive I-20 lately?
How far? How many weeks did it take?

UPS is the worst. Delivery of my I-20 took almost a month! If you have another option, I'll advise you use that.

Americanpizza:
Thank you but how can I check the available dates in abuja before I cancel my present appointment.

No you cannot.

Except you cancel or have someone that booked Abuja

My fear is I might cancel now and get a later date for abuja.

Big Congratulations to you Bro!!

BIMestBabe:
Well, they just put all that's in my uncle's account as the deficit on my i-20. Deficit should be 24k dols. But they put 70k dols

So how did they know you had some assistantship. According to your transcript, that's the first thing they asked you?

BIMestBabe:
1. Funds I have on my i-20 was a total of 70k dols. What I needed was 46k dols.

2. I'm going for a PhD not second masters.

3. Deficit is 24k dols. Although my assistantship is to be renewed every semester

Forget it bro, they won't approve. PhD should be fully funded.

You made today glo

Brown2Green:
These VOs can be very funny tho.

I see where people say the VO ' nodded in affirmation'
Or was 'looking impressed' or say 'okay'

From my deduction , that doesn't mean they are impressed.

But the number of denials within yesterday and today is not good.
@fairheart you need to go and dream a new dream.
Your previous dream has expired.

Dream Expiry!

Please when the VO asks you to pass your i-20, does he look at only tuition fee or the Total cost of Attendance (which are room and Bord expenses, textbooks, etc) in comparison with the bank statements

I never open teeth like this for his before o

Pepperoni001:
*this is my proposed Transcript*

Your feedback are highly appreciated.

VO: Good Morning, Pass me your I-20 and SEVIS receipt.
ME: Good Morning, handed over the requested docs.

VO: Why are you going to US?
ME: I am going to US for my Graduate Study in Sustainable Energy.

VO: How Many Universities did you apply to?

VO: How many accepted you and how many rejected you.
ME: Eastern Illinois University and Murray State University accepted me, NEIU rejected me and I am awaiting decision from GSU.

VO: Why did you Choose EIU.
ME: I met with an Alumni who gave me firsthand information about the Sustainable energy program and the faculty at large. The Renewable Energy Center in EIU is the largest university biomass in the country. The center will afford me the firsthand opportunity to learn how renewable energy is utilized to support the need of a campus or community. I exchanged series of email with the Director of Studies; Dr. Peter Liu who advised me to apply after vetting my credentials and supporting documents.
The ratio of Lecturer to Students, and the state of Art facilities where also the convincing factors.

VO: Any standardized test?
ME: GRE: 280 and TOEFL: 80?

V.O: What will the degree do for you?
Me: The program is a science-based and technology management focused, it will equip me, put me on the edge to accept the challenging mission of achieving renewable energy utilization and its sustainability in the food industry, which will reduce our over dependence on crude based source of fuel which will lower the prices of and demand for natural gas by increasing competition and diversifying our energy supplies.

VO: Who is paying the school bills?
ME: My dad is footing the bills.

VO: What does he do? Pass me his SOA
ME: He’s a lecturer of Law at University of Ibadan, hands her SOA

VO: I can see you married with Kids, why are you not going with them.
ME: My wife just got started work with XYZ bank and there’s a bond she signed with them that won’t allow her leave her duty post for two years.

VO: You can pick your visa in 3 days.
ME: Alright, have a great day.

Its just remaining for you to go for that interview and drop your approved transcript here!
Wait...what of your plans after graduation?

Marjoribanks:
10 hours each!

I assume the one included in your I20 is not enough to cover the needed funds. You should go with a print out of the award letter for both positions and explain clearly that you have two different research assistantships of 10 hrs per week each.
Many applicants have gone for interviews with i20 that didn't include any funding for one reason or another, whereas they had funding and their visas were granted. You will be fine.
