TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Toptierworldwid: 10:08pm On Aug 16, 2025
Hello Family

Please is it advisable traveling to the uk with my dollar card with my naira converted to USD or I should use apps like lemfi when I get to the uk. Which is more easier, I hope lemfi charges aren’t much.
Your opinion is highly appreciated.

Omooo, I was denied today for the second time, I had to defer my admission and reapply to the same school.

VO; I can see you have been denied before
Me; Yes
VO; The same school?
Me; yes, same school and same course
VO; I can see family funds, your family is your sponsor
Me; Yes, my maternal uncle is my sponsor
VO; I’m sorry you are not qualified.

That was a very short interview, I’m wondering what I didn’t get right. VO didn’t ask me anything, this is shocking

Hello, Please

My maternal uncle is my sponsor and my interview is next week, is it okay to go to the embassy with a hard copy of my sponsor and my mom id card just for further proof of relationship. They both have the same last name.

Hello, if you are over the age of 18, your parent/guardian don't need to fill that section and you don't need to write your sponsor's name there and yes you can sign the form before your interview.
Thank you

Hello please

Can I sign my I20 before my interview and where Parent/guardian is indicated, can I fill in my sponsor name in that spot .

Hi,
Just to clarify — any source of funds that isn’t reflected on your I-20 is practically useless at the embassy. The visa officers strictly work with what’s captured on your I-20. If you submitted your personal bank statement alongside your sponsor’s statement while processing your I-20, and both are reflected on it, then you’re good to go. But if your personal bank statement isn’t showing on your I-20, taking it along to the embassy for your F1 visa interview is pointless.

Thank you
Also, I noticed you said "I just want to add something from my end" — as what exactly? In what capacity? Lol

Regarding the transaction narrations in your account, I don't think the VOs really have the time to be checking bank statements talk less of transaction narrations. But in case they will have your time (during your time) lol, why not build a storyline around your business (sales of gadgets)? If the business is legit, you should confidently talk about it. You can even go along with documents to prove the authenticity of the business. My only concern is that I hope the visa officer doesn’t get the impression you’re more of a businessman than a serious student.

Hello House

My interview is next week , Please I intend to use my bank statement as backup to support my sponsor statement. (My sponsor statement is more than enough, I just want to add something from my end)
My plan is to say my parents have been saving these funds with me over the years incase of emergency, however every deposit in the account has narration related to sales of gadget because that’s what I’m into. All deposit in the account is in my name because it was sent from my personal account to the account as savings over the years .
Please is it save to go ahead with this, I’ll appreciate your input.
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Toptierworldwid: 9:33am On Apr 23, 2025
Okay
I guess bank statement will do , that’s what I plan on doing.
it’s funds saved over the months and years , no instant lodgment , they are all sent from my personal account, let’s say it’s a savings account but I intend to use the word my parent savings with me as a coverup.
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Toptierworldwid: 9:11am On Apr 23, 2025
Thank you very much

I have one more questions please
Can I tell the school to include some available saved funds as personal funds on the I20 like $20k.
Just incase the VO ask me, I’ll tell him/her that’s the money my parents saved with me to support me or should I just focus on my uncle which is my sponsor .
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Toptierworldwid: 4:42am On Apr 23, 2025
Hello, Please I have few questions

Should I include my sponsor name on my I20 or I should leave it as family funds

Secondly, My COA is $35k and I only have a scholarship of $7k will the VO be convinced my sponsor which is my uncle will take care of that because it seems more easier with full funding scholarship nowadays
