Based on experience of one of my students who changed her sponsor and still got her visa, you can change your sponsor. Mkabir243: |

However, you need to know what you are doing. If you are removing your Dad as the sponsor, who will pay the tuition and fees? Were you offered scholarship? Mkabir243: |

SUCCESSFUL VISA INTERVIEW NUGGET ONE: The Bible says "it is sin unto him that knows how to do good but refuse to do it." Well, let me do a little good today ![]() NOTE THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY! 1. YOUR I-20 The first thing you need for a successful visa interview is an I-20 that is not contradicting your status as a Nigerian student. It is a mistake to use an i-20 that says you will take ESL program upon arrival on campus. This literally makes the VO see you as not eligible. Be sure to check that the REMARKS section of your i-20 does not carry messages that may cause you issue or complicate your chance of approval during the interview. Remarks concerning orientation, health insurance, etc, are fine. 2. THE COST OF YOUR PROGRAM American education is very expensive. Whoever tells you otherwise is lying. It is so expensive that many Americans take loan to study, and most still don't clear the student loan 5 or more years after graduation and well into their career. So, always make sure your school is affordable. If you are going to a $40,000+ school, please make sure you secure scholarship or GA to cut down the cost. A $50+ school (without at least 30% scholarship) MAY attract a visa refusal. It is the new normal, and I have about 3 students who were refused based on this between December and last week Thursday (these guys have selected the school and pay sevis on the i-20 before they contact me) Convert $45000 to Naira and see how much it cost. Please note this! I recommend school with program its cost is not more than $35, 000 for masters, and $40, 000 for undergraduate. For Masters, if your program cost is $20, 000 to $25, 000, this is very ideal, even if no scholarship or GA is offered. But if you secure a scholarship on this, it is a bonus. Don't ever take $50K or more in loan to study a masters. It is easy to take loan than to repay it. So, when I read some persons here suggesting that taking heavy loan to finance is a master is worth it, it's an opinion reality laughs at. Make your decision well according to your career goals and sponsor purse. Don't do "everybody dey do am, make I do am, too." GO TO AFFORDABLE SCHOOL. I repeat that, GO TO AFFORDABLE SCHOOL! That a school is expensive does not mean they offer anything better than low-cost institution. What you get from your masters or undergraduate experience in the US is determined by YOU. It's why we have seen children from poor background trashing students from Ivy League schools in competition. 3. YOUR DSFORM Fill it according to the best of your knowledge. Take your time as long as you may need. No need to rush. I have said it on this thread before that the DSFORM IS THE SECOND WINDOW THROUGH WHICH THE VO ASSESS YOUR ELIGIGIBILITY FOR F1 VISA, just second to your response to interview questions. Therefore, you must know everything you fill in there; if you are inexperience, seek the guidance of someone who understand the process. If you must use an agent, make sure you are there with them when they fill the form. Don't let anyone fill it behind you, especially when you don't know what every detail of information submitted on your behalf. As you fill the form, use the information on your i-20 accurately. Then before you submit, review over and over. Insert educational information well, according to how you had them. If you are working, insert your employment information, and make sure you indicate your Salary as applied. Consider that if you are presenting your own statement of account, your salary (as stated on the DSFORM) should be harmonious with your inflow or balance. If million dey enter your account but you say your salary is 200k per month, VO may ask where you get the money from. If your response is shallow, you may attract a refusal (though vary by VO). 4. USE A WELL-FUNDED SPONSOR The system used to assess F1 applicants were intact until early early 2018, when the embassy started taking down bank statement to verify not just the balance, but also go through transaction inflow and outflow. They not only compare the account statement taken from you after a successful visa interview (if they take it (sometimes, some VO don't care)) with the one in your bank system but they also check for heavy dump of money. So, I now recommend that your sponsor should have a statement its total credit is far bigger than the balance (within the 6 months period) If you're paying part of the fund, use the account your income come to. Please avoid "packaged statement of account"; the thing no dey fly again. 10 year ban fit break your heart for a long time ![]() ![]() LET ME STOP HERE FOR NOW. I WILL POST THE REST ON PREPARING FOR A SUCCESSFUL F1 INTERVIEW AS THE SPIRIT LEADS SOON ![]() NOTE: I AM NOT A US EMBASSY VISA CONSULAR. I'M JUST ADVISING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, OF THOSE SHARED WITH ME FROM MY STUDENTS AND THOSE I KNOW THEIR SUCCESS STORY. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY PART OF IT, ASK QUESTION, OR GENTLY SHARE YOUR OPINION. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

fairheart:Thanks for this piece @ bolded, don't a statement of account with total credit far greater than opening balance show huge dumps of money An account having an amount of 7m credited last 6 months(say Nov), average amount of money entering the account on a monthly basis is around 300-400k The 7m credited six month ago is it a red flag? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by fairheart(m): 11:10am On Apr 30, 2019 |
No, I said total credit should be bigger than closing balance. This shows the sponsor have constant income and can pay. For the instance you share, it is fine. As long as the the income is consistent and not just once or twice, it is fine. 6 months period is long enough for 7m to build up. It can't been seen as large dumps. mhizposh: 1 Like |

fairheart: Alright thanks I have already asked my sponsor to tell the bank to remove the date the 7m deposit was made Is this a wrong move? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by fairheart(m): 11:37am On Apr 30, 2019 |
It is like you don't understand me. Why would you tell your sponsor to do that? Did he build the account for the purpose of visa? I did not say your statement is bad or can't be used. Kindly read my post again and understand it. A sponsor statement should have money coming in from time to time, and it could be huge or small. Now, this is what could go wrong: It may be seen by the embassy as "manipulation" if, for example, your sponsor income were 500K, 700K, 1M, etc on monthly or weekly basis for the past 4-5 months, and then a month or few weeks to interview, 7 million were deposit there. So, when you look at the transaction for the past 5 months, you could not see any deposit as huge as this, then it could be seen as intentional. HOWEVER, this is my view. Do what is best for you! Wish you best. mhizposh: 3 Likes |

Please, is it compulsory for a Sponsor Letter (addressed to the school) from an older brother to be taken to court (to be signed or stamped) or have any legal attachment to it? Or is it just a letter written and signed by the sponsor? Anyone should kindly enlighten me on this. Thanks. |
