Hello, let’s connect, you can drop your email or number!

TWoods:
It is very doable. I would advise that your husband not apply for an F2 visa. You and your kids can go first and he can come to visit on a B1/B2 visa. The VO will want to know that you have a base back home and there is less concern about the ability to take care of the kids financially since your husband is working here and providing support.

Azeebabe:
Thanks for the prompt response. I do appreciate your advise. May God bless you.

Please can we all contribute to this please I think someone had something similar to this last two years on this thread , I received my i-20 for the fall semester yesterday and this was what I was seeing in the i-20, at the left hand side tuition fees and living expenses altogether is $22,300 , at the right hand side of the i-20 students funding for 9 months, personal funds $0 , funds coming from the school $0, Father $55,000 because father was used as the sponsor. This actually means that the school calculated the SOA of my father and then put $55,000 there, please aren't you seeing this as a problem and that this might confuse the VO, since the amount in both sides are different? Please anyone with similar experience or that have idea of what I am talking about can contribute. Oga @fairheart and Co please what is your take on this. Screenshot photo below to see what I'm saying.

Hello house With dates rolling out fast is it advisable to just book a date and pay for visa interview while awaiting decisions from other schools

TWoods:
It's not an issue of oil on your head, it's practical reality. Yes you studied at a top Nigerian school with scholarships - the key here is the school was in YOUR country, where you are a citizen. I doubt the same scholarship would have been available to a foreign student from Kenya, and I'm very sure it's not because the foreign student had no oil.

It is likely that schools in the US would reserve scholarships in the liberal arts to US citizens and residents. Most scholarships you may read of here are largely in the sciences. I don't see a lot of those in the arts unless you are a prodigious talent.

But don't let that deter you from searching.

Azeebabe:
Thank you for your response. The children are actually three but a family of five. I get your point, is the reason why the spouse also wants to follow in order to provide support for the wife while her program is ongoing.

Hi guys
Please is 4.37/5.0 equivalent to 3.50/4.0 ?

Chonco:
Are you sure the visa type is F1?

MOgunleye:
There is currently a date available for Visa interview. It is still available as I just scheduled it, April 13th. If you don't get it tonight, I suggest you try again around midnight tomorrow.

May93:
Hi guys,

Asking for a friend

She gained admission and her uncle wants to sponsor her coupled with her savings.
The course she's going for is completely different from her academic background and current job, however, a career change is the goal as she intends to move to a different country after school(almost gotten her Permanent Residency) and practice in the new field.

Do you think she stands a good chance of getting the visa if she shares all these at the interview?

Please we will like as many takes on the matter as possible.

Thanks

Bank450:
Hello,

I have submitted some applications for masters degree in USA and waiting for decision. I am positive I would be admitted because I submitted a strong application.

My concern is with the F1 visa interview, I am not big on funding as I am capable of funding myself. The main issue is will there be red flags if I am sponsoring myself?

How best can I position myself in front of the VO? what do I need to work on?

Please enlighten me on the pros and cons of sponsoring yourself for graduate school(masters).

Thank you

Friedpotato:
I don't think she has anything to worry about, as long as she's already working in the new said field

Friedpotato:
What kind of place do you work? how much do you have? If you're sponsoring yourself and your parents are not involved, then you should have almost times 2 of your COA so that the V.O won't think you'd starting working to pay for your second year or go out of status. Alternatively, If you have a good business here that you can go to the embassy with its bank statement, that would be good too. If you have none of this, still prepare well and try your luck. People have done this and gotten approved before.

Denuga91:
Tuition and fees, living expense and other expense is about 13million.
How much do you guys suggest I should have in my SOA?

Good day all.
So I got an admission for an MSc program (Environmental Science) in the US with no funding. Although the Program Director told me that they are working on additional funding (Which I cannot rely on) and will inform me if there is any update regarding funding.

The total funds required for one academic is about $34,000 (All Fees including living expenses). I am thinking about accessing loan for the Program through one of the agency mentioned on this thread. And a friend is willing to gift me some funds as well. I can be able to take care of Visa Fee, SEVIS Fee and Flight fare.

I want to know from those who are already based in the US if this is worth the risk, most especially with the loan repayment.

All opinions are welcome.

Thank You
