Tyleet:

why are we not able to use the same photo we used before if it's less than 6 months ago?

I cant say, but last time i was there, some people were sent back to retake photos if its not recent and by recent we talking about 1week earlier. So to save yourself the stress of going up and down. Take a new photograph

Tyleet:
If you get rejected for a visa last semester and you were given a blue paper, do you need to take a new passport size photograph for you new ds-160 when you are applying again?

Yes you have to

This is just for zenith banj

Good day everyone, I need advise and inputs.

Was denied in July for my f1 visa, couldnt find a closer date to reapply so I deferred to spring 2022.

Now I just got a new admission with a new school, same course, but this new school is cheaper in terms of COA.

The first school COA is about 47k, this new school COA is about 27k. Both didnt give Assistanship.

Is it a good idea to switch schools, is that seen as a red flag?

Oga, there is 0 eiye presence in calabar.
James was the number 1 of the klansmen fraternity, and was killed by the a.xe men when writing his final year first semester papers.

And that fight was between klansmen and aiyes.

As of recent, only klansmen and axemen have been brutally killing themselves. Vikings has been very calm for the past two years.

I stay in calabar, and have first hand information about these things.

Stop copying information from a mushroom news site that spells vikings as VIKES, egede as edege, buccaneers as bukanias

I'm done arguing with you.

Lmao, dont argue what you dont know, i schooled in unical and i had Eiye guys as lodge mate, and they usually have thier gatherings albeit small, so dont say there's none in calabar. Majority of them roll with vikings sha, so u may think dey re bagas, but one thing is for sure Eiye dey calabar.

Bros rest !

The highlighted isn't a mistake, some schools put up funds from family members (relatives) under personal funds. If your school falls under that category You should state it boldly in the interview. I don't think this is a reason for denial.

Thank you for your response,
I compared the i20 from another student going to the same school,and his was listed as family funds, i have mailed the school and i qas asked to send SOA of my dad.

Hallelujahvoice:




Don't let this delay discourage you.
If you had read through this part 16, you'd have seen people advise that you don't say anything different from what you have on your i-20 and DS-160.
You either defend it (convincingly) or input what's correct.

When you received your i-20 and saw that your school put yourself as your sponsor (personal funds) and you were prepared with your dad as your sponsor, you could've sent an email to your school to correct the mistake and classify it under 'family funds'.


Secondly, from the knowledge gained here, I can say that the VO isn't concerned about the volume of transactions but the start balance and particularly the closing BALANCE.
I learnt they see deposit of lump sums as red flags (expect you can defend them convincingly).
Remember, this is assumed to be the money you'll use for the payments over there.
The balance should be equal to or greater than your deficit.

If the balance of your account is 2m and it's less than your deficit, that might be a problem.

Sometimes, you're not even asked to show your SOA.

Your question about filling a new DS-160...I don't know how that works for a second Application. I'll allow those more experienced to make inputs.




You mind sharing your transcript so others can see if there are other areas you need to work on?

In all, Prepare well, pray well.

Can't wait to see your approval testimony soonest.

Wish you grace

Thank you very much, the denial these days are high. When im free i will send in my transcript. I appriciate.

Good day all,
Great Job what you guys are doing.

Quick one, i applied for a F1 visa, sadly i was denied few days ago, before my interview date, i noticed my school made a mistake in my i20, by putting "personal funds" instead of family funds,as my source of funding. The interview was going well, until i was asked how am i going to pay for my trip, and i said my dad, immediately she typed for some seconds and handed me the blue slip.

Now, i have been working as a banker for about 3 years, i have saved some funds, and my bank statement shows a tranx count of about 30mill in about 1year, although closing bal is about 2m now.

Should i fill a new ds160 and maintain the personal funds and maybe i can expalin to the VO that i will he funding the trip then my dad can help out id need be? Or i should mail my school asking them to change my i20?

Please guys your inputs are appreciated.
