Hello Everyone, I need to be clearified on something. I went for my first Visa interview with funding of $20k and deficit of $50k (private university) but the interview wasn't successful. I recently got accepted into a state university in US with funding of $15k and deficit of $33,500. Please should I continue with the private school or should I change to a different school. I don't know if it will complicate things for me.

Olawrites:


Yes with waiver code, guess the competition was intense this year

I messaged you please.

EBUBECHISOM:
My 2nd rejection offer just came in this morning...
I don't know what could be wrong with my application. I'm applying for Msc Chemistry.

Gurus in the house, please help me

Thank you all for your concern, empathy, encouragement and advice.

I just woke up this morning and saw a congratulatory letter of offer of admission from the remaining school I had applied to.
All thanks to God.

Gurus in the house, kindly guide me on this, as extracted from the letter..

Your tuition classification is Out of State (International for F or J1 visa). If you would like to apply for in-state tuition consideration, please complete the application within the next thirty days, but no later than the first day of classes for the term in which you are admitted. If you have questions, please reference our website or email

Please note that an earned baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education, or international equivalent, verified from official transcripts is a requirement for all graduate students. You will need to submit your undergraduate transcript(s) as well as graduate degree transcript(s) prior to the last day to drop courses in your first semester. For international students, please review your requirement here. Failure to submit your official transcripts will lead to your admission being rescinded and courses being dropped.

Frm my knowledge, No they don’t before the interview date. However, after approval sometimes they do their checks, that’s were you see “administrative processing “.

Okay thanks.

If I were to guess, I’d say it’s your essays. Your profile seems good enough.

EBUBECHISOM:


Thank you..
University of Toledo (UT) requires application fee but they still denied me. What then could be wrong?

vicdom:

Both were in Dec. Early and late Dec actually.

pls I sent you a mail will like to connect

I need guidance on how I can apply for Graduate Assistantship Funding.
My department offers it but it was not stated in my offer letter

I would say you should check the department website and if nothing shows up, ask the graduate coordinator about the application

I hope to find an early visa interview date. The earliest I've seen is November of this year.

Oh God I need your favor at this point of my life. I have 5 Msc admissions already but waiting for assistantship from my various departments.

I can't imagine being in Nigeria for another 1 year just because of unable to get assistantship. God knows depression will set in if I can't make anything out of the 5 schools that admitted me, after all the effort.

I will wait for my schools to decide but if they didn't give I will still find way and move.

I have booked my visa appointment for May already.
Account statement intact.

I'm using this post as a point of reference, and I'll quote it when I get an offer to thank God.

Assistantship will come, I believe in God's miracle

Hello house, please hope dependents (spouse and children) I-20 request along with PhD applicant will not affect approval of visa

No it won't, just table your story properly

More than enough except you want to be doing "dorime" when you get there.

neduboo:

Congratulation
Soon to be mountaineer

I would go with my B visa and do change of status from there. Since you have comfortable place to stay go and wait it out.
My opinion though

Depends on your finances. Do you actually have the funds to cover a $50k deficit? Can you prove it without doubt to the VO?

Is your program a Master's? A lot of Master's official offers do not usually come with funding (some do). Funding usually comes in a separate correspondence from your department.

Since you said your program has, I'll advise you keep calm a bit. Then if nothing shows by mid to late next week, you may send in a letter to enquire.
