Hollyholy:
House I intend applying alone leaving two kids behind.

Please are there success stories of people that applied without their kids cos I keep hearing of denial after the VO asks why a mother is leaving her kid behind.

justwise:


How old are your kids?

LagosismyHome:


I believe this a personal decision and it's ok.... although I am not a VO sha . Also depends on how young these kids are

you just have to clearly articulate your plan and your support system that will be with the kids and you can end by saying how it for a short time because you will be back after graduation ... indirectly using them as home ties. Lol

Hollyholy:


6 and 3yrs old boys.

My support system is my husband and mil who lives with us.

I do not want to alter their education, extracurricular activities and lifestyle they are used for a temporary trip I'm making.

Also I will not be able to give them the kind of care they are used to with the rigorous activities of Graduate school and my Graduate assistantship responsibilities.

I also intern to take advantage of the summer to register some more courses so I can finish my program early and return home.

kennedyemmy:
Good day...
Please is there anyone here who is a student or is going to Colorado State University next year 2021?

Corney:
Please is there a place i can put my phone when i get to the embassy.

Janet200:

No carry phone go there, those guys outside will collect money from you to help you keep it cos the embassy will never allow you carry phone in.

LagosismyHome:


More than enough ....inteview usually like 2 to 3 mins so you wont have time to express all of these but it sufficient

fairheart:

Leaving behind your kids increases your chance. I assume the VO will think no mother will abandon their infants or adolescent to go and stay in the US. From this angle, there is no negative impact on your approval.

TrojanSnail:
Stop with these stupid rhetoric. People have been trying to correct you but you are hell bent on your everyone must do what you want. People have been helping people prepare for interview for years, detailed transcripts have been posted here for years. Because one guy posted his incomplete transcript, so Nigerians don't want to help you? You really need to calm down on you crazy entitlement.

samibk:


What is it that you don't understand. I don't visit nairaland that much so I won't be here to help and that was the sole reason.

There are many other transcripts that can be helpful. I guess you are difficult to deal with.

I rest my case.

Curious2020:
secousse!

Iffa jank u ehn! Instead of you to say the truth you dey talk rubbish, Oga JP JARE.
we wan steal him admission and funding abi?? Entitlement Ko Entity nii mtcheeew.

Life is a relay baton process, some One/ some ppl handed the baton to you to run the race of life i.e (by helping he/she with advice and tips to gain admission nd funding + helped you with the application process for visa e.t.c), it's up to you to pass the baton to another youngster to run the race. Nobody knows tomorrow you might get to school and feel lonely/might not feel that you belong there, that NL that you helped to get into ur School might be the missing piece to solve the mystery of your life, be wise!

fairheart:

All you need from sponsor is his/her bank statement. Sponsor letter is not necessary, as consulars ain't interested in reading a letter that anybody can write. Go with sponsor statement. The most important thing: have a thoroughly filled DS160 that isn't conflicting with the i-20 you're carrying.
Prepare to speak confidently during the interview.
We have already said a lot about this on the thread.

Curious2020:
I pmed fairheart he replied in less than two hours, and was brief and helpful with his response, they're a lot of good examples on this platform that we all should emulate e.g lagosismyhome, TWOODS, SoccerUSA e.t.c

No man is an island no man stands alone we should be known as brothers we should be known as friends, we need one another to all make a change. We are NIGERIANS!!!

Ambasado4lyf:



Hello fair heart. I appreciate your assistance.

Please, I humbly request you help me to clarify my thoughts.

Scenario 1

First: On my I-20 form, three dates are specified;
The earliest admission date: 05 December, 2020

The start of class date: 11 January, 2021

Program start date: 04 January, 2021

While filling my DS190, I filled 02 December, 2020 as my arrival date.

My questions;

a.) Can the arrival date remain as 02 December 2020 or it should be 05 December , 2020? Should in case, I am to respond to the question when I will be arriving, what should it be? 05 December?

b.) If I were to be asked during interview when my class is starting, should it be 04 January, 11 January or 05 December , 2020.

Scenario 2:
The address on the I-20 form reads that of the international student and faculty office address of the school. However, when filling the DS form, I filled the Graduate school address of the same school as my point of contact address.

My question: Could this be seen as discrepancy since the address on DS does not exactly conform with that on I-20 even though, the two addresses are within the school and are both valid.

Scenario 3:
A friend of mine voluntarily filled the DS form for me because I was trying to get other things done yesterday. Towards the end, a question arise; are you the one filling this form? I told him to fill NO and instead he should put his name as the person filling the form while the signature bears my passport number.

My question: kindly, let me know if I erred regarding the above statement.

Scenario 4:

Should in case, all the above are wrong, coupled with the fact that I have submitted the DS160 from online, what can I do to effect the appropriate answer.?

Lastly, how can I know the exact monthly or annual income of a corporate business account owning to the fact that, the proceeds varies due to some factors. I asked this in order to know how to respond if such question were to be asked by the VO.
I anticipate apt responses from you and other nairalanders. Thanks.

Please does my sponsor have to sign on my I-20 document or is it just me alone

tsirin:




Please, what is 43k reciprocity fee, how do I pay that ?

fairheart:


I replied in less than 2 hours because you e-mailed me when I was a little free and my computer email app notify me of every incoming message. The whole October is somewhat loosed for me, unlike September. If it is time I have studies or intensive work to do, I might ignore you for 2 months! Again, if you send message to someone and they did not reply, I want you to know it's not always because they are selfish or they don't care; some people are lazy at responding to their emails; some people are not checking their messages; some people registered nairaland with old email address they no longer check or add to their mobile e-mail app.
I am going to tell you; without understanding, your adulthood is not complete. Always try to see things from others' perspective. Have understanding. This is not the same as being knowledgeable or intelligent.

You're becoming too assertive in your demand for selflessness from others. I want to assume you're a selfless person yourself, because only an unselfish person have the moral ground to demand selflessness from others. To that, I will patiently wait for the time you'll get your visa and travel. I hope you will always come here to help undergraduate students like yourself.

Good day Erudite Scholars...
I want to make an inquiry:

Can I attend the visa interview without having the sevis receipt but only the the transaction receipt from the postal order?

I have scheduled an expedite interview with the Embassy but the sevis fee receipt is not forthcoming...

For those who are picking up their visa, are the protests blocking the highways, making it difficult to get to DHL? I am going to do a pick up but it seems the protests have blocked highways.
