Hello house,

My 1-20 program start/end date is 2021-2024 (3years). It is a Master's program. Is this the duration I should fill on my Ds-160?

Also, I want to change sponsors. My previous sponsor was not named on my 1-20 and my deficit was put as personal funds. Will it be okay to change sponsors?

Please @Twoods and other gurus help answer.

Guys, I have a quick urgent question please

My visa interview is by 12pm on the 7th of May

I would be arriving around 11:30AM. I’m coming from a long distance

Please hope this is not a late time to be at the embassy?

Someone was telling me I have to be there 2 hours before the time on my appointment confirmation printout.

First of all get your i-20 from the new school. Then,

For your ds-160 :
Retrieve your old ds-160 form, it'll tell you that this form has been submitted and ask if you want to view the confirmation page or create new one from it, select the later option. A new one will be created with many details from the old one and only very few key information that you have to refill. You can as well make changes anywhere on the new one if you want.
Make sure you write the new number out and update it on your profile.
ps : you can update your ds-160 on your profile as long as it's more than 72 hours to your interview.

For your Sevis fee : go to fmjfee dot com . Check your i901 status, then from there you'll see an option to transfer to a new school.

Also remember to update the necessary details on your visa appointment profile.

EDIT : I don't actually know if you can update those details on your profile.
I remember trying to change my zip code to a new school after booking appointment and I couldn't. Thankfully it didn't affect my visa interview.
But yours are bigger and more important details, so it might be different in your case. Not certain.

dodoyinsolar202:
hi.
1. use the start/end dates on your i20.
2. personal funds means you're the one covering the deficit of your program.
if that has changed, mail your school requesting for a new i20 and ask them to change the sponsor part to "family". that way you can use any 3rd party as sponsor. The new i20 can be sent through email since embassy still accepts printed copy.
My 2cents. Hope this helps.

Hello house

May 27 and June 3rd is currently available for VISA appointment.

dodoyinsolar202:
hi.
1. I know of schools requesting proof of funding prior provision of i20. Don't know about the Ref letter. Check in with your school to know their requirement.
2.Go with both if you have.

Thank you.

chrisadigwe:
Please I have been denied twice with different sponsors.

The first time I used my dad as sponsor but stated company and family friend on my i20

The second time I stated family on my i20 and uncle in Nigeria while using my uncle on my i20 but his surname is different from my own

But now I have a uncle that has the surname with me and is ready to give me his statement.

Do you think it’s advisable to change sponsor again

Thanks

COMFORTeconz:
Hello All,
Pls I need your advice.
I plan using the company account, where I work, and my mum as my sponsor. I got admission to master of science in Business Analytics. My employer is ready to give whatever document I need . I plan to write that my company will cover the full cost of the tuition while my mum settles the rest of the fees,In turn I will sign a two year contract to return and work for the company after my studies.
Should I carry one with this idea, does it make sense.
Plssssss,advice

TEMIT0PE:
This is not advisable.
Let the money remain in your sponsor's account and present his SoA when you are asked for it.
You already have a GA so there wouldn't be too much scrutiny on your Finances.
If you still want to move the money to your account however, be ready to have a back up answer to questions around your job and savings.
It's your call.

I am applying again with an instate tuition /resident scholarship from another university in US with an estimated cost of $18,175 .00. my Uncle will be sponsoring me and I would like to find out about my chances of getting the F-1 Visa approve. Any advice from the experts.

Summertime:
Greetings to everyone here. Pls gurus while filling my DS form,I filled the duration of my studies as 2years cos thats what was written on the department site which I was admitted to. However, I just realized on my I-20 that the duration is from August 2021 - May 2024, which makes it approximately 3 years. I have already submitted the form, will this cause any issue during interview. Also my program is for 2 years However, my program offers a dual program which is 3 years. I was admitted to my preferred (single) program and it came out on my I-20 as 3 years.

Jukwasi:
Were you rejected because of the statement of account? So what has changed apart from this statement. Talk to me.

MelaninGemstone:
Easiest way to get a visa is if you are
-Married
-Have travel history (even if it’s one country abroad)
-Have good funding with little deficit

If you ain’t got this three things, your visa na just try your luck
