Hello Nairalanders,

I currently hold an offer from a top US school with partial funding from my department. I have spoken with my employer and they have agreed to fund the rest of the fee. The school said I can just provide the letter from my employer to them to secure my I-20 without providing a bank statement. I would like to know if that same letter suffices for the Visa interview here in Nigeria alongside the partial scholarship letter from my department.

no you need both the letter ( probably stating why they choose to sponsor you )and definitely the bank statement

So, I have to get a Bank statement from my department and also my employer alongside the letters?

This is wrong!!!! You want to be paid for mock interviews.... Haba.

Pefuele:


I think it is better if full or part transcripsts is posted here for review. Part Transcripsts in terms of where you have a challenge & full if you want to know what areas needs corrections. Transcripts corrections is good but Transcripsts delivery is more significant. How you deliver your Transcripsts is more important. Audio mock interviews is nice but video mock interviews is better. I suggest for those doing mock interviews it is better to have it with those who have had rejects( like 3 or more rejects at the US embassy) cos they have more experience in those areas or those who have conducted several mock interviews with F1 students. I actually do mock interviews but it is not free because it is my time. I have to monetize the time because I could have used it for other productive business. I don't charge before but when I noticed guys where giving my information to agents who are making loads of money from it I started charging.

Good afternoon fairheart .Please help me with the materials. kejuempower@gmail.com Thanks

So 45 mins to 1 hour is the time people should pay for?

Na wa o... When you now become big nko? Nobody will be able to afford you. Pele o.... Transcript Coach.

Sure. 'If you are willing to invest the time' and time is also money.There is a prize for every prize. Unfortunately,we always want to seek the short cuts. You get the best VISA Transcripsts from years back( 2013/2014/2015/2017/2018). They can start reading the threads from those years and I am sure it will be very helpful because that's when the embassy was really hot the days of checking the SOA and putting guys on AP. If you dnt want to invest the time you also pay the price.

Hi Lovelies. Good to be back here. It always give me joy when I go through the post here and see how determined we are to succeed. This forum was my only social media around 2017, 2018. Others were busy on Facebook, I was busy on this thread gathering knowledge and sharing experiences. I can't thank the moderators enough. They were instrumental to my success story today. I completed my Master's program and currently working as a Network Security Engineer. I just want to encourage you all to keep the faith alive. The journey is not an easy one, but I assure you there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep up the work.

I think TSWood has responded in a very explicable way. If you can't do your home work you pay the price for another doing it for you. Period!

You paid the price and got the highly coveted prize. Congrats!

I understand but mock interviews are not part of the 'home work'

The least we should be able to do for someone else on this thread is free Mock interviews. Some individuals even go farther by helping to pay sevis fees, exams and application fees for others.


It's called 'Paying it Forward'.

You will need your employer to provide a letter of support from their Bank and a Bank Statement for you. You will need both in your interview. How long have you been working with your employer?

[23/05, 7:10 pm] Oluwase!!!�: But it's getting harder to get papers in USA. Students visa is just like visitors visa, the only difference is you can study and work
[23/05, 7:10 pm] Oluwase!!!�: As soon as the visa expires, you will be in the same category as people with expired visitors visa
[23/05, 7:10 pm] Oluwase!!!�: Having employer file for you is an uphill task, because the employer has to prove that there is nobody in the whole on USA that can do that job except you
[23/05, 7:10 pm] Oluwase!!!�: USA is not what it used to be, notwithstanding, people are still getting papers everyday in yankee
[23/05, 7:10 pm] Oluwase!!!�: The problem is if you can do whatever they are doing.



Please guys, I asked a question concerning after school and getting a job immediately sometimes on this forum. This information above is from a someone that lives in america.
It is true that I will be stranded after studies. Bcus I tot companies will employ me immediately so as to file for my papers and invite my family.

Pls advice before I rush into what I will find difficult to do.


A big thanks to anyone helping with real advice and info.

Please those who have had interview, is it true that i20 should not be printed with A4 paper?

I have been with them for four years now. So without my employer's bank statement, I don't stand a chance of getting approval?

Pefuele:

elmafelix:
Congratulations man. Any one writing GRE and hope to connect? Secondly can you advice Registration centres in Lagos for GRE

I've been seeing testimonies about WES enhancing people's grades but I don't know how it works.

Now I just read @picricchem's testimony that Wes even helped in getting funding.

How does Wes work please?

NigPatriot:
For those of you posting mock transcripts, I'll advice you either join groups where you have someone act like a VO and interview you or you have a friend scrutinize for you or better still post the challenging questions to which you haven't found an ideal answer. But posting your entire "to-be" transcript here won't do much good and it's misleading too.

Why I'm saying this, Most people juxtapose mock transcripts for actual transcripts. It's confusing.

You don't have to post the entire transcript. Just post the question (s) that is/are challenging to you and your overhead response. Instead of the entirety of transcript. And then people can look into and provide their feedback for you to modify.

The last part is a good suggestion but it may not work well. The interview needs to b assessed as a whole, not in segments, as the segments are interrelated. A vo wants to connect my present employment to my reason for the study, in view of d cost of d study and so on. An interviewee has to make sense in all these aspects by being consistent with his answers. So, helping on one question may not help d whole process.

Also, many (two) good heads are better than few (one). The number of gurus on WhatsApp groups cannot be as much as here. In fact, the groups will b full of people that need help and the burden on the experienced ones there will thus be much.

I've been thinking on the issue of mock transcripts here too, cos I plan to post mine for scrutiny later.

Friedpotato:
I don't know when some of you joined Nairaland ooo but posting mock transcript is a very big part of this thread, I don't know why it even reduced over time. Before, almost everyone going for interview posts their proposed transcripts for the gurus of this thread to review. Till 2019, it was still extremely common on here, so please don't shame people from posting their transcripts here, you might be blocking them from the help they need.

Very apt

Babax200:

4 years is nice! Yes, the VO will need an evidence that your employer is sponsoring you. Since, you are working for the company you should also know the company well. Tough VO may ask questions about C of O of the company and other difficult Questions that I don't see recently because this has been a period of funding. Interviews now are soft so it may not get to that extent.

Tayoade19:

The Nigerian standard paper is A4 and the US standard is letter which is the dimensions given. You can print on either. However, should you want to print on letter you should enter a book shop to get a letter paper you can then go to business centres to print on it.

Lol, your claim about limited and overburdened gurus on WhatsApp groups isn't right. You shouldn't generalize for what you aren't sure of. I and hundreds of fellows got full funding through such several such groups with aid from selfless fellows. Many on those groups are probably not aware of Nairaland as such.

I've seen lots of useful resources here for the short while I've been active. But your claim is not just factual
