you want to move your family to saskatchewan a place so cold it’s basically a freezer.

the IRCC has updated its rules. they’ve closed the backdoors. trying to get a spousal work permit for a diploma program is like trying to run software on a calculator. the rules changed unless you’re doing a master’s or a professional degree like JD.

If you’re going to do this, stop acting like vibes will save you. you need a perfect explanation for why a lawyer is going to a polytechnic for a diploma. if your logic isn’t airtight, the rejection will be instant. optimize your strategy or stay where you are. your current setup is destined to crash.


a law graduate going for a diploma can look like academic regression to a visa officer, you should write a SOP, you need to explain that you aren't just downgrading to a diploma, but gaining a specialized technical skill in environment law that a university degree doesn't provide.

Ok, one is an impersonator, though both of them can not be trusted. Freedomtours is into fraudulent activities and i have banned him far too many times now.

Fredomtours is impersonating him to carry out the same thing

How much did you pay?

Emmy2022tech:
Those that paid for WES evaluation, please how much did you pay? Secondly, even after getting official transcript from school, do you still need to pay for the WES evaluation?

I am asking because I do see some reviews saying that WES evaluation takes time. I have less than 1 month to complete my application, I am about to request for official transcript from school. I would appreciate your response.

kamsy101:
have wes giving you the evaluated result??
because you can’t predict Wes accumulation, reasons the way they compute is different from ours.

I have done mine, and my cgp reduced alot after wes verified my transcript.
from 4.21 to 3.54

Youjin09:
N288,000 as at last month

Guys, I'm still awaiting decision from UMass Boston for fall 2025.

Should I be hopeful?

MountainTop34:
I don’t think your course of study is an issue here, Law is a broad discipline; all you have to do is to prepare a cogent reply why a Public health specialty in administration is a passion you want to pursue.

The main issue is your sponsor, how can you convince the VO that your sister in-law will not only cover your tuition and living expenses but will do same for your spouse and all your kids. That’s not what one individual can do; even parents here in the US don’t sponsor their own kids, they only help them secure a loan.

In my first visa interview I was denied; within 6 months I secured scholarships from my department and re-applied for the visa and was approved. Getting partial/full scholarship is key not only for visa approvals but also for survival while studying in the US. You have 8 years experience, I’m sure that if you put in the work you’ll get some type of funding. Also, visa fees are high if you get denied, you’d have to pay again for the whole family.

Please take my advise with a grain of salt, just wanted to contribute to the forum to keep it alive since it helped me tremendously


Thank you

Please follow these steps
1. Go to the Official SEVIS Payment Website
2. Click on "Proceed to I-901 Form" and enter your details exactly as they appear on your I-20.
3. Make Payment Using; A credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express), or Western Union Quick Pay (Check their site for instructions). If someone in the U.S. is helping you, they can pay it online on your behalf.

Yes, each applicant must pay a separate visa fee.
Your F-1 visa fee does not cover your dependents.

JMG12:
You can proceed with paying the SEVIS fee and booking your visa appointment without waiting for your husband's I-20. However, there’s a small risk that if he applies separately, his F-2 visa could face more scrutiny.

ibroh22:
Big red flag on sponsorship…better find a way to make it look like you are sponsoring yourself..your I-20 should read personal funds, advisably F1 to go alone now and F2s can join later (this last part is not cast in stone tho, everything na grace)

JMG12:
You don't need to be scared, your chances of visa approval for an F-1 student visa depend on how well you can address the key concerns of the consular officer during your visa interview.
1. Explain the transition in your career/profession.
2. Why Murray State University
3. Your sister-in-law’s sponsorship should be well-documented.
4. Since you are traveling with your spouse and children, the consular officer may wonder if you plan to stay permanently in the U.S. In this, you will need to demonstrate strong home ties such as property ownership, financial commitments, or family responsibilities(extended family).
5. Emphasize your plan to return home after completing your studies.
6. If possible, highlight your job or career plans in Nigeria post-graduation.
7. Show how the program is a logical progression from your legal career to public admin.

CONCERN
1. Be prepared to explain the relationship and why your sister-in-law is sponsoring you and not your immediate family or yourself. This is a Non-immediate support/sponsor.
2. The officer will ask why you’re taking your family along. A good response would be to explain that having your family with you will provide emotional support while you focus on your studies, but emphasize your intention to return home after graduation.
3. Large family accompanying you, the consular officers may see this as a sign of intent to settle in the U.S. You will need strong evidence of home ties and a clear study plan.

a. Practice mock interviews to build confidence.
b. Stay calm and positive during the interview.
c. Be truthful, consistent, and concise in your responses.
It will end in praise
