For the sponsors, I have GA from school (Full tuition waiver with stipend totalling 28k) but with a deficit of 12k (living expenses and other fees) which I propose to offset with personal funds. Should I then say it is self sponsored?

It's better to have a family(father, mother, aunty or uncle) sponsor than self. Because if you run out of your personal funds, who is gonna help you financially. They believe if you have a family sponsor, money will always get to you. Unless you can really convince them you have saved up for many years (like 5 years and above) and have sufficient funds (bank statements come in here) to cater for your needs. And besides you have GA, so try get a family sponsor and get it indicated as 'family funds' on your I-20 if it's not stated like that already. Cheers!

Hi Oga Prodigree or anyone in the house can i have a template on how to write up emergency interview letter please

Address your brief letter with 'The US Consulate General Lagos.' Then write your reasons for requesting the emergency. Remember to use a polite tone. You can mention your program start date (if there's an orientation session, mention you have been mandated to attend it before the start of classes). Also mention you are within the 60 days for scheduling an appointment. Cheers!

Please how can i fix this i plan reapply again but this time Abuja cause my school resumes fall 2021

It appears the issue is your sponsorship. Perhaps you can find another family member to sponsor you. They already have it in record on your profile that your father is your intended sponsor. The idea is that something should have changed from your last interview. But if you can't get another family to sponsor you on time, then I suggest you drop that 'pastor' title and just emphasize on your dad being a successful real estate developer and into medium-scale farming. My thoughts!
P.S: Abuja seems more lenient than Lagos, so go for it bro!

chuksmanred:
I will turn 29 this October. Actually my dad is a radiographer. I chose biomedical engineering to be a technical consultant based on servicing Medical equipments to give good results. Cuz the guy that services my dad's medical equipments bills him high knowing the technicians are scarce.

I have the full funding from my dad for the four years.

I don't know if my genuine reasons are convincing enough.

Honestly bro IMO there's nothing wrong in going for a second bachelor's degree as long as you can defend the rationale behind it. And what you said above is a good reason for your decision. That's your story man!

pjc:
Any idea about the cost of enrolling please. Have been trying to develop a skill on programming and software engineering and algorithms. Anyone with useful information pls share.

The question you should ask yourself first is 'what is my end goal? what do i want to build? what problems do I want to solve? One could easily tell you go learn node.js, react, Java, Python, C++ Scala and so on, but you will be overwhelmed on which ones to learn if you don't know what you intend achieving. In a nutshell, know what you want to do/build/develop first then aquire the requisite skills and tools.

Guy get a laptop with enough data and go on udemy and co with youtube videos. You can learn anything if you have the tools. The only merit with deca is having a structured learning environment which you can still simulate by yourself being in a conductive surrounding.

Okay

The worst disaster in this part of the world is the humans! Check the drainages and na pure water nylon, plastic bottles and all sorts of trash go full am. Why flooding no go happen.
