Hello everyone.

I have been silently following this thread for a while and I went for my visa interview on Monday.

I was denied

I've been really distraught since Monday.

I need to reapply quickly because my school resumes in September.

I'm trying to gather my thoughts again to get input on my questions, as well as how I should re-apply soonest

Time2win:
In this case, no need to explain... present what you have when asked. if they need an updated statement of account, they will put you on Administrative processing and ask you to send it.

Thank you, bro

It wasn't pass the deadline when I applied then. What do you suggest I do?

I think you must mean July 6, right? In any case, I think it's already late. Even if you are somehow able to get the admission, what of funding, etc? My advice would be to plan towards Jan 2020

Hello everyone. I have been a silent follower for some years now and I have gotten tremendous value out of this thread.

I would like everyone's advice for my current situation.

Background: I recently got admitted for a masters at my desired school. The school is fully covering my tuition and I also have an assistantship too. However, on my I-20, there is an outstanding of $12k for living expenses, which my sponsor will cover.

This is where the slight hiccup is.

My sponsor provided me bank statements for only 6 months, from Jan 2019 - June 2019. My visa interview is in August and school resumes in September. My sponsor is not my family member and he is very, very difficult to reach. In fact, it took the better part of a month to get the bank statements I will be using now. On the upside, though, he also gave me a letter of support. But even at that, I'm doing everything in my power to reach him for an updated bank statement.

My question: In the event that I am not able to get an update from my sponsor fast enough, and the VO asks me for my bank statements, how do I explain it not being more recent if pressed further?
