Who knows any University that offers full funding for PhD students ?

All schools as long as the student has all the requirements for full funding since you can't even self fund a PhD program anyways

Escanor:
Hi guy will they give visa for people going to studying for Associate degree?is there any chance of visa approval?advice pls

Hmmmm
Maybe,
Maybe not. It all depend on who you are right now (educational background, age and all) and why an Associate degree. If you can answer that well then all is well.
So, why an Associate degree?

Hello Great minds...
I’ve a graduate course with $30k deficit,
My sponsor’s account (my brother as businesses man) have monthly inflow within 6million to 9million naira... usually save around 800k -1million Naira for emergency purpose...

Following my deficit of $30k, how much should be save in the account.

My school has accepted our financial Payment plan, to make payment on installments; $3,500 monthly

Please help me with your profound experience, so i can start making grounds and reformation on my financial planning.

Thanks Gurus

There should be fund above your deficit in the statement account you are going with.

Hi everyone please I need help/suggestions:
I was denied B1/B2 in 2017 and 2018....

I have travel history(South Africa-2016 and India-2017) on my lost passport.... I just filled my ds 160 and I stated that "I have not travelled in the pass five years.

If the VO ask me "Have I travelled before" what should my response be? considering my new passport doesn't show it.

Lol and you just ruled out an entire history.
Okay. Enter your travel history if it falls under that 5 yrs and there's also a question of if you have lost a passport before, answer that too. And if asked, "it was lost" it's as simple as that.

Best of luck

jbryan54:
God bless you. Based on your advice, my husband has accepted to go with me too, but he intends to apply for his F-2 after I have gotten mine to increase my chance. Thanks again.

Okay that's good. He can pick a date down

jbryan54:
Thank you very much for your detailed response. Does it mean that I can book a date for visa interview without submitting my DS-160?

Yes, you can start your Ds160 basic questions and save. Get the application ID and proceeed to visa page to get a date. Before 5/6 days to your interview or before then complete your ds160 and submit

Rutim:
I will appreciate an input please. Any one.
My intended sponsor is facing some personal unforseen emergencies, hence he is not disposed to help. He was my only option so now I'm stranded. I have the admission already for falls semester. Please what do I do? Is there anyone here that can help?

Sorry about that. Do you have funding from school because that should have been the first thing. If not, reach out to your school if you can be considered for one. I will personally not give advice of a loan because it's not free and I have no idea how you will explain to the VO if asked on how you intend paying back the loan

Best of luck

Hello my people, gurus on the platform, senior Moshkom and others, I awaits your advice on this.
Thanks.

I didn't read this the first time. Just saw the post again. So you are going to a Community College for a program to become a Web Developer. Web Developer is a big thing just like a Data Analyst. I don't think you will get as much information and knowledge compare to a university (the VO probably thinks this way too. Another thing is "cafe" the VO probably doesn't know what this is. I guess that is why the VO couldn't pick a point on how your job relates to Web Development. The VO may see it as wanting to by-pass some internet restrictions going by your explanation too.

So here is it, you may want to apply to a University instead of a community college (unless that's not a red flag anymore which I doubt)
Find proper technical terms that defines your job.
There was no question on funding but please don't leave that out. It's a huge significant.

Best of luck

Hello, I want to ask a question ,A friend is in the US Presently ,He Traveled with Tourist Visa He has Spents 3 Months Now .

He Met a Nigerian Lady who is a Citizen in a Mall ,He heard the Woman Speaks her Dialects,he Greeted her ,Well they became friends ,Visits ,they became intimate Friends Etc Started . According to what He Told me ,I have chatted live with both of them via Videos and Phone .He told me She is one of the first set of Nigerians that Won Visa Lottery when it was Sooo New Many Years ago .

The Woman is a single mother of one ,Lives alone .

The Relationship is getting so deep that they are planning to marry each other .

His Tourist Visa Would Expire in 3 months time, I'm Advising him not to Overstay his Tourist Visa .I also advised that He could get Married to her ,Obtain Marriage Certificate then get back to Nigeria then she can File for him ,Spouse Visa ....

I have not Traveled before to USA ,I only read about Travelling Experiences ..Please Folks that have Experience ...I need your Input on this ..

He is a very Nice Fellow ,I have heard that Overstaying after Visa Expiration can be So Bad ..

Waiting for your Advise .
It's Urgent..Thanks .

Okay. I didn't spot any question that needs advising here except asking for an advise for your friend. If it's the later, I believe he has made his decisions so the ball is in his court

RaniOpe:
Not birth certificate but Bsc certificate

Okay I'm not sure why you have DOB on your BSc certificate but if by chance the VO ask, he/she may ask same question (if spotted) on why you have a different DOB on your BSc certificate and international passport. Again, it's rare to ask applicants for their BSc certificate.

Just keep everything simple is what I can say.

drbrayam:
Please any link for interview mock questions... at least someone needs to get prepared before facing that VO. Help a soul

The link is on here. You can start from 30 pages back you will get enough transcript

Sorry about this but if your family is abroad why did you say she's in Nigeria again

RaniOpe:
Thank you.
If the date of birth on the certificate and passport is different, will that be a problem?

Only the month is different

Yes, it will. DOB must be the same in all document. Don't complicate anything. Moreover, your baby needs time after birth before getting on any plane

RaniOpe:
For F1 Visa Interview
Is Bsc transcripts and certificate needed?

No but you can take them along with you as supporting documents in case the VO ask to see them

[quote author=Nengiiiii post=111780056][/quote]You can type out the transcript using a WhatsApp page then you copy and paste here.
However, you should get question about "what has changed" without your previous transcript I can't think of any other thing.

jbryan54:
Hello guys, I got admission for Fall 2022 and my university wants me to submit the I-20 application form before 1st May.
On my I-20 form, I am required to list all dependents that will travel with me.

The thing is that my husband is staying back with me but my child will be traveling with me just that the child is not yet born.
I am currently pregnant and will be due in May.

Can the I-20 form be submitted without listing any dependent and applying later when the child is born?
Will listing a dependent on the DS-160 affect my chance of visa approval?

Please what should I do in this case?

Okay. Hmmm request for your i-20 first and when you have your baby, request for that too as well. Your school may need the baby's passport which you don't have now. You can always request for F2 I-20 anytime. About the DS160, you can wait till like 5 days to interview date before you submit so if you've had baby by then, you can add him/her.

At this point, you may have to apply with your husband because you are going with a new baby which means, you will need help and if you are not, you can't leave a new baby behind. If you are going with a new baby yourself without anyone then that's hard extra work except you have relatives over here that will assist with the baby. Most daycares if not all, admit infant from age 6months. You need all the help you can get.

Ebi1:
i can see that f2 visa holders can apply for vocational study programs. should he register for any vocational training program because I don't want them to think that he will be idle... or its not necessary.

F2 visas are idle visa untill the purpose for that visa is changed by US immigration office

Barzoid:
Sorry to disturb, I'm just a newbie in thus that's why.
Do computer science student file for the F1 or M1?

The M visa type is for vocational courses. If there are some computer science branch that falls under this, you can go for it. However read about the cons and pros. F1 visa on the other hand can also be used to study computer science complete 4 yrs programs.

Festusile:
what if my employer is my sponsor? Whose bank statement am I advised to use?

Your employer's personal account statement

Barzoid:
Thank you very much how do I know the right school?

The one that fits in all your requirements.

xploiter:
Hi guys, good day.

Please I've gotten MBA admission in USA and got some fellowship from the school. Because the money wasn't enough, I applied to Mpower finance and they approved some amount for me.

I'm still looking for about $40,000 and don't know what to do. Prodigy has stopped giving loans to African students.

I'll appreciate any help/advise I can get on what to do. Thank you

Okay
If you have done all these and you still have deficit of $40k left, I'd suggest you apply to another school because the tuition you are paying is too much. You can check Leigh University, Carnegie Mellon and Suffolk University. They give funding for MBA if you submit all required documents and exams.

Best of luck

Pilot4Airbus:
Please na

Somebody should tell me the best time to check for close dates.

Please na chai

If you applied for EA and they gave you a date already, go with any of the dates you were given.

korexes:
Good afternoon everyone.
i need some urgent advise concerning my proof of funds. my school states that they do not accept a 'business account' for proof of funds. but it is the law firm where i work that is sponsoring my tuition. (I was provided with the firm's statement to upload)

I want to write to the school's center for international education, explaining this to them.

I will be happy to read any advise you can give me on how to go about this.

Thank you.

Yes, you can't use a business account to fund your program. Same as interview too. So look at it this way, the account fund is what the owner use to pay workers and grow the business, why should that also be used to fund your program that will only decrease whatever amount it's in it without adding back. So let's the business owner use his personal account

Barzoid:
Good day I would like to ask some questions:

1. Can a waec result with 6As and 3 Bs with a combined SAT result of 1200 get me a full ride. Also what do they mean exactly by family ties
2.. Must I send my waec result to an evaluation organization like wes. Can the University not evaluate it themselves?
3. How do I pay for sevis fee and MRV.
4. How to dress to the visa interview(casual,formal.)

1. If you apply to the right school that will provide full ride for your result
2. Yes you need to evacuate because they don't take WAEC in the US so they need to know what and what you did
3. SEVIS can be paid by someone in the US and MRV information is on the Visa page.
4. Dress comfortably causal or formal. Be comfortable

kidsquare:
Guys, I need help. I have been offered admission for Fall 2022 in the US and my I-20 has been sent to me. I have two different questions I'd like to ask. The first one is: I was awarded a GTA funding for the first 12months but my I-20 is showing funding for 9months while I was awarded a GTA funding for 12months. Is this a mistake from my school and will the 9months of funding be enough for documentation at the US embassy for an interview?

My second question is. I have completed my DS-160 application form and have paid all necessary fees but while booking an appointment today, 7th April 2022, I am seeing appointments dates that are well over my program start date which is 22nd August 2022. I am told that I need to request an expedited appointment. But on the instructions on the portal, u can't book an expedited appointment until u are within 60days to your school start date. For me, I will be within that 60days around the 22nd of June, 2022. What do you suggest I do guys? Should I go ahead and request for the expedited appointment or I should wait till that June while using the opportunity to check if any closer dates have been released. Pls, I need your suggestions and advice. Thank you.

Your I-20 is correct.
About the date too, you can choose that and be checking for earlier date and once it's 60 days to start of program you can apply for EA if you weren't able to get a closer date.

Hello.
I've had few people ask me if they can wear the hijab to take their passport photo and the answer is yes. You can also wear it for your interview. Just wanted to post this as a member here urgently emailed me about it today.

Best of luck to everyone

Hello gurus,

Pls assist me, it's possible this question has been asked and answered, pls pardon if it has Biko.

With the current Incessant ASUU strike, my son gained admission last year to UNN Chemical engineering, his Waec is very much good.
I want him to look for University he can apply to for scholarship either fully funded or half or none.

I made an enquiry to the proprietor of the lesson he was attending before he gained admission if they have any particular plan in place for such undergraduate that are at home as a result of the Strike, he said no. But
he suggested foreign Exams like SAT.
To study in the US or Canada.
Please advise me on which of these listed he should write ( (SAT is 65k, IELTS is 80k , TOEFL is 120k)

Thanking you very much

SAT and any of IELTS or TOEFL

kaykehin:
Hello House,

Please If I select reschedule appointment to search for earlier date, will I lose my current appointment date?

Thank you.

No. After you click on reschedule and you are not okay with the dates that you see, just click on logout

girlyesosae:
Hi,

So I personally feel maybe reapply without your daughter as F2.
You clearly have a strong support system here in Nigeria, your mum, the family owned school and your husband. And collectively your daughter has more stability and support than if she were with you juggling school, daycare and living alone.
Maybe do your F1 application then 6 months down the line, They can apply for your daughter’s F2.

However, you can still apply with your daughter (she still young and need you around) if you can secure funding.

PS: just to add to this response

cole82:
Good morning champs, has anyone here had his/her admission decision for fall 2022 from Salem state University because am yet to have mine, after submitting every requirements asked of me.

You can send an email to check for update concerning your application instead of waiting.

Babnxst93:
Someone should assist me oo

Well, some students here have been able to get visa approval with Mpower loan so there's no issue. The only thing you should be worried about is how to pay back the loan.

Icesnow:
Hi all! I'm trying to go through the DS form. There is a place asking where I'm staying. Can I put the address and contact of the hotel I intend to stay? Also which states and places are tourist attractions? Thanks

You can use Google to search for the later. About the address, you can put the hotel address
