unnamdi79: why not get your uncle transfer the funds into your dads account little by little..though I don't know if the lodgement might be spotted by the VO..I know so many people who went through this track but I don't know if it is advisable..just my opinion..I stand to be corrected I have thought of that too like you said . But I have a feeling the lodgment might be easily known . I just got my I20 last week . My sevis fee is still valid from last payment. My dad has been slow in running his account since February since the incidence happened. til now he hasnt gained balance., from Feb till now is almost 6 months .which is exactly the duration of account that I have to print . do you understand me now ? cos if my uncle should put it in .like 5m . it will definitely show. because the account would be so empty maybe half sheet because he hasnt operated it due to the crisis . but last year . it was my dad"s account that i sent to the school work like 6 M . |

Wishing you the best and God's favour.. |

domex007:I agree with you.. I see she's so tensed and nervous..she has to calm down and go through transcripts and be prepared for her next interview |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part5 by juntod: 3:47pm On Jul 15, 2014 |
laura2014: I have read your profile and previous transcript. You didn't do badly. The problem must be from the fact that you were nervous and responded with crammed responses like a robot. Just fill your DS form with your uncle's information. By the way, does your uncle bear the same last name as your dad? Again, do not mention your dad's financial stress as a reason why your uncle is sponsoring. You need to show stronger ties with your uncle. Present him as someone who has been responsible for your education since undergraduate. Your dad on the other hand is capable but your uncle just wants to complete what he has started since he already sees you as his own child. Take your dad's previous statement of account with you alongside your uncle's. Also work on how your chosen graduate program relates to your previous degree and future career prospect. 2 Likes |

laura2014: Hi Laura.........I feel ur situation. Since your uncle will sponsor you bt due to the inherent difficulty in convincing the VO's abt sponsorship coming from a long distance relatives, they would have commenced bit by bit deposit into your dad's account. Anyways, that is in the past. You don't have a choice than to fill the appropriate person who's SOA you going to use at the embassy. Hope the source of funding stated on ur I-20 is same? If so, just objectively prepare your responses to the possible questions the VO might ask you abt dis and be convinced you will get it. Resort to prayers......That is going to be the judge. It is well. 1 Like |

juntod: I am really tensed as speculated and I haven't been on my laptop this long waiting for your correspondences , but i appreciate everyone that has contributed , May God bless you all and I hope to share my positive news soon. if am not mistaken . here is what I have been advised to do 1 pray hard , I sure will do that . i can be a prayer warrior (want to try to put a smile on my face) 2 I would choose my Uncle as my sponsor this time , if VO doesn't talk about it .I would not talk about it .if he does . I would present a stronger ties with him like he was involved in my undergraduate . 3 I would not mention his present condition and would just take my dad"s account with me Should or In case (for back-up ). but I would not present it if not asked. cos my Uncle is my Sponsor 4 I will on the best answer to relate my BSC WITH Intended MSC . 5 yes My uncle and my dad bears the same last name (My dad is the elder brother) . I bear same too . cos I am not yet married . single but not searching .maybe when i get to obama land shaa ![]() I still will become advice . as i am still seating here by my laptop. alone with plenty thought . maybe i need a trip to the beach to kool off . any new friend. ![]() 3 Likes |

laura2014: EXACTLY... But since your uncle bears the same surname as your dad, PM me let me suggest something to you (Don't want VOs to read the suggestion). You may want to consider the option. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part5 by OjaP: 4:35pm On Jul 15, 2014 |
Laura, Below are what you should work on. - Your answers to the V.O question; * Always say you applied to at least 3 schools. * Your reason for choosing your school wasn't convincing enough. * You didn't write the GRE or GMAT. The V.O was particularly interested in that and that was why he asked. Anybody can be your sponsor in as much you can give good reasons why the person would be doing that. Unless you work on the reasons above especially your GRE or GMAT. I am afraid your next interview won't be an easy ride and I pray you don't get denied again. Please fix all loop holes. Shalom!!! 1 Like |

OjaP: Laura, Nice observation. Laura, if you do not want to write the GMAT/GRE, you still have a chance. The VOs know some schools exempt students from these exams. When asked about it, do not simply say it wasn't required. State a strong reason why you were exempted. Maybe due to your work experience. |

juntod: You are right, some give good reasons why they were exempted from taking the exam and still get the visa. Her case is peculiar being that she has a denial history. I wouldn't advise her to leave everything to luck. She should make sure to cross all t's and dot all i's before hitting the embassy again. 1 Like |

slimmy05: I smilled when I read the post. The bank with the best exchange rate so far is access bank. GTbank are crooks in their exchange rates. Exchange rates are not static, they fluctuate over time. I remeber when I went to cash some dollars in 2012, at the counter the guy said the exchange rate was 151. Before I finished filling the rubbish form, I got to the counter and it rose to 156If you had money transferred to you from Nigeria and you wanted it in your American account (say you wanna pay your school fees with it, cos some schools don't accept International cards and because exchange rates flunctuates like crazy), this is what to do... Go to Walmart Money Center. Tell them you wanna buy money order. Money Order is charged at the rate of 70c where I live. But with money order, you can only put $1,000 on each money order at most. So, let's say you wanna withdraw $5,000 from your Nigerian card, you buy 5 money orders worth $1,000 each. The total amount you pay for the money orders will be 5X70c. That's $3.50 for drawing $5,000. This is what I do whenever I wanna transfer funds from my Nigerian account to my American account because using the ATM isn't a viable choice. 1. Most ATMs have a limit of how much you can withdraw from it everyday with a card. It's most times capped at $1,000. So if I had $5,000 to withdraw, I have to do it over a period of 5 days. 2. Asides the fact that GTBank (that's my Nigerian bank) will charge me #420 for using my card on an ATM, the bank you're using its ATM will also charge you like $5 for using their services. 5X5 is $25. Excluding the GTBank charges oo. I'm not an Ijebu Lady ![]() One other thing: you might even find some stores that sell Money Orders for cheaper prices than Walmart. There's a store where I live called Kroger, its a super-store just like Walmart and they sell their own money other for 54c. I go there most of the time because its even closer to my house than Walmart. Edited: after you buy the money orders, take them to any branch of your bank and tell them you want to deposit them into your account. Most times it clears almost imediately. But I live in the Bible belt, folks are kinda racist. They don't believe a young black female can have such amount. The first two times I did it, they actually asked me where I got the money order from(to ascertain it was genuine). When I told them Walmart, they called Walmart and verified if indeed I bought the money order from them. Who cares ![]() 5 Likes |
