Hi, good morning all. Please, I would like to ask if there is a WhatsApp group for tracking US visa appointment date. Help!! My email address is [email protected]

Hello Guys i need your candid opinion on this issue,

My friend recently got an ission in the United States but he's based in UK and is currently there for a program lower than Master's degree program. He has been thinking if applying for visa from UK will reduce his chances of getting one and even if he can apply from there. Please kindly make your input on this. Thanks

Hey, you shouldn’t have even mentioned your sister at all.

Also, from my experience Loans are somewhat a red flag too. Avoid them as much as possible

So my advise is, get another sponsor, don’t use loans at all, and hope that the VO hasn’t put a serious note on your profile cause that your sister ish is a major red flag!

Are you married? Do you have kids here in 9ja? You need a very strong home tie as well.

Good luck to you

[quote author=Jackson1922 post=123072879]1. V.O: who would look after your kids while you're in the US?

2. V.O: Why is your family not accompanying you?

3. V.O: Your sister in the U.S means close family ties convince me otherwise ?

Having well thought answers on these would be great but since you have full funding and going for a PhD the interview might last less than a minute and you would not be asked any of

Winas2:
Use Gahana or B/R. Flight is cheaper and that's where many Nigerians through now. Flight there is around $1500.

What’s Gahana and B/R Are they countries?? Websites? Telegram groups? Applications? Flight agents?

Hello all, if you answer No to this question ( Are there other persons traveling with you) on your DS-160, will it prevent your family from applying for F2?

I need responses please.

No, but I would put yes there even if we are not all traveling the same day.

Pls gurus in the house I need help, I was denied an emergency appointment date and my program starts August 20th, 2023 the interview date I got is Oct 23rd 2023. I requested an EA date and I was denied. Though I haven't paid the sevis fee before applying for the EA could that be the reason for the denial? Also will be possible to apply again, if yes how pls?

freedomtours:


Me too 08037480823.

Also me 07066846811

Not necessarily, I mean it depends. For example, when requesting your I-20, if you used a POF indicating your dad as a sponsor, Your I-20 will reflect your dad’s name. So in this case, you need to go to the interview with a POF from your dad but now the statement can reflect more money in his but never ever less money. If you used your personal money as POF, then you can show a personal bank statement upon request since you are self-sponsored. Of course you can have a combination of both.
But the oga kpatakpata of them all is this: whatever is on your I-20. If you have a deficit on your I-20, you must have a POF that can completely cover that and if possible, kukuma add jara on top. Sorry for the lengthy explanation, to type for computer just dey sweet me this night.
Best wishes!

Have you considered https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre/613
It might be super helpful, particularly because people there appear pretty generous with study materials and tips. More importantly, it gives you a sense of belonging to a “community”.
Best wishes!

Which kind ission dem give am for US? I mean, e high reach or masters as e be say the one e dey do for UK na small course, abi na bachelors you dey try describe and how many months remain for am to finish?
I dey ask because VO no dey like use ear hear say person run leave course, them go flag am as immigration risk, unless e get ogbonge reason. So e go sweet if he finish but nothing stops him from applying shaaa, he just needs to make a strong case and justify his decision. Usually, since UK, US, AU, and CA dey share information, once one of them give you visa, e no dey too hard for the other three to reason your matter as long as you dey legit. I wish your friend well ooo.

The ph.D assistantship I received from my dream school has a deficit of $15,000.
Can I renegotiate with my Supervisor to give me full funding if the offer letter he sent to you does not cover your full cost of attendance?

What is the best way to approach this.

Should I just settle for another school that offered an assistantship that covers most of the Cost of attendance for my Masters degree, with only a deficit of $3,500?

Alright that's cool

Good afternoon. Please, add me to Abuja date search 07038505383. Thank you

Hello everyone, on the 120 form will the person's concentration ( master's program) reflect? What if it is not indicated how does one defend this if asked during the interview?

There is no way the program you are going to study will not be captured on your i-20.

If it's not in the i-20 the school send to you, the school immediately and have them correct it.
