Hello,
I got admitted as a Freshman into a U.S University and was offered a scholarship. I'm currently a student here in Nigeria and would like to know if it's' advisable to ask the U.S University if I can send my current transcript here to them so that I can be considered as a transfer student instead of a freshman or I should just resume as a Freshman.
Thanks.

Well, to change from a fresher to a transfer international student, means, you will loss this admission. And reapply as a transfer student. Just continue with this. But prepare very well to defend yourself with VO, why your leaving your study here in Nigeria to US.

Thank you for your response. I already got my Visa early this month.
Would I also loose my scholarship?(my current GPA is high though)

Good morning all. I notice that many people are asking to be added to an appointment date search group. But it seems no one responded. I have decided to create a group.
It is mostly for ABUJA appointment date search. I will send the link here to join. Thanks

well, it’s not compulsory but you must be able to convince the VO why that person who is not related to you by blood wants to spend that much on your education.

What does the person stand to gain.
cobby14:
Please is it compulsory for the sponsor to be related by blood or I can have someone who is not related by family be my sponsor. Do I stand a chance

Pls what is the passport validity period for F1 Visa.

How many months/years validity does the passport need to have before you can use it to apply for F1 visa?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by chibertha(f): 4:58pm On May 30, 2023
she has 3 months to enroll in school in order to be in status

Ebisign:

If she transfers the sevis to the second school and decides not to enroll in the first school, classes will not start in the second school till January. Will she be allowed to stay in the country without being enrolled in any school? Her visa is carrying the name of the first school.

Olawrites:
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 sad



And my Graduate Assistantship finally came covering my tuition and some stipends. I said it!!! Thank you God.

Last week I went to Abuja embassy and was delayed, the VO rushed me and didn't allow me talk well. Just scrolling through my school email today and I found the good news of my assistantship.

you sell your market well
Babbeeyy:
I’ve been a silent reader on this platform and a lot of transcripts here have helped me, so I’d also be sharing mine. I was the 5th person to be interviewed but the 1st one to be interviewed by the VO that attended to me.
She was a black American lady with small pink lips🥰
Immediately she opened her window she called me to come forward, which I did.

Visa Transcript
May 26th, Abuja
Appointment time: 7:30am
Interview duration: 1 minutes( at most)
Status: Approved
COA : $61,000


Me: Good morning mam
VO: Good morning

VO: Have you traveled before?
Me: No, I haven’t

VO: Pass me your i20
Me: (passes it to her)

VO: What are your plans with this degree in this school?
Me: Studying sociology will help me in acquiring more knowledge in social theories, critical thinking and data analysis, this will help me in achieving my career goal which is to take up a job with *****. The current CEO of ***** is someone I met when I volunteered to work with **** in sensitizing women about the dangers and preventions of sexual exploitation. Upon the end of my voluntary work I was promised a position and I look forward to graduating in time and coming back to focus on that. It’s also one of my career goal to start up an NGO that would focus on the prohibition of human trafficking in women and young girls specifically, It is also very important for me to be close to my aging mom who isn’t getting any younger.

VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: I would be sponsored by a family friend whom I have known since childhood, when the need for me to school abroad came up he had a conversation with my mom and offered to sponsor me in honor of the relationship that both families share

VO: What does your sponsor do
Me: He’s a software engineer by profession and works with Microsoft, he also owns an Africa food store in the US

VO: What do you do?
Me: I am currently a student at the university of ***** but due to the incessant strike it became necessary for me to school in a more predictable academic environment, hence the need to school abroad.
(VO nods in approval to my ds 160)

VO: Where would you be staying?
Me: I will be staying with my sponsor until my on-campus accommodation is sorted out.

VO: When did you graduate high school?
Me: I graduated high school in 2018 and gained admission in 2019(VO nods again)

VO: When is your program start date?
Me: Uhhhmmm(I really did this, I thought about it for like two secs) August, August 20th to be precise.

VO: Do you have any friends or family in the US?
Me: No, just my sponsor.

VO: Do you have siblings?
Me: Yes, I have two siblings

VO: Older or younger?
Me: Older. I am the last

VO: Where are they?
Me: My brother is in Lagos and my sister is here in Abuja

VO: What do they do?
Me: My Sister works with **** and my brother works with ****
VO: Typing….. (and then proceeds to pass me my i20 without my passport but I didn’t notice she added the white paper to the i20) keeps typing..
Your visa has been approved( proceeds to tell me how I can collect it and saying something relating to the white paper but I didn’t hear.)
Me: Thank you mam, thank you( she smiles and then I walk away)

Note: From my experience, she didn’t ask for any documents or any proof, she seemed to be paying more tension to what I was saying and what I filled in my ds160. I noticed that whenever I said something corresponding to what I filled in my ds 160 she’d nod her head and with all these questions my interview still didn’t last up to 1min highest I’d say 45secs.
Thank you all for assisting me without even knowing it🙏🏾
