Hi friends, Please I would like to ask, in the DS-160, does the question of who is the person/entity paying for your trip mean the person paying for my flight ticket or the person sponsoring my study? Note: I was awarded full funding (Teaching Assistantship) which covers tuition and stipends.

First attempt
Fully funded
Purdue University (US), Ph.D. in Agric & Bio Engr.

I got there quite early at exactly 5:10am and was the second person there. Everywhere was quiet and was looking like people has given up on applying for US Visa....Around 6:15am, everywhere was filled up. We were then called in around 6:25am and we went through the stressful process of the checkings, verification and thumbprinting.

Interview
On entering the interview hall, I was already shivering because of the AC☺️ and I am the 2nd on the queue. We went through the thumbprinting procedure. The lady that did thumbprinting for us left window 5 to come interview us for window 7. We are getting tired already because we were left on the queue for over 30mins. After the first applicant, then came my turn.

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning, how you doing today and compliment of the season
VO: Thank you
VO: Who is sponsoring your education?
Me: I secured a fullu funded scholarship which covers my stipend, tuition and health insurance.
Vo: Okay.... (continue typing, I just kept my gaze on her )
VO: Okay, I will be approving your Visa....she handed over the white slip and withheld my I-20 and passport....I then bounce out

I couldn't believe my eyes I was asked just a question and that's it......This is GRACE at work and nothing more. I want to appreciate @ Lateefah☺️⁩ and @⁨~Opeyemi⁩ for the various mock sessions (these guys really helped me, I remember my first mock session, it was just trash☺️😌😌 and hence more practice which I later lost count of at some point.....Thank you so much and I am so grateful. Once again, thank you so much...…

I just believed I was favoured because have never read a transcript with just a question before. Thank you guys and more of funding news and visa approval. Just that single YES, it will definitely come, Keep at it💪

#Gracified ##TillWeAllWin…….###Gracias...OUT!!!!
Someone transcript,

Naijalarry:


Instead of responding directly to his question, you're answering it with a broad assumption, mentioning Guardian, Mother or Father or Loan company or your employer, in a question that ought to be answered straight up.

If he fills out the school that gave him full funding as sponsorship for the trip and the VO asks him who is paying for the flight ticket, he will get into trouble because schools in the United States do not cover flight expenses, you might not know this because you haven't left the country before.

VOs rarely focus on asking questions about what is filled in that space, but that doesn't mean people who have full funding should fill it carelessly.

Since he received full funding and the school will not cover his flight expenses, the best way is to fill SELF, or whoever that will pay for the flight expenses, rather than the department that will not cover his trip. Department only cover what is written on the i-20, which flight expenses is not among.

Most Nairalanders who have previously received full funding are known for filling out the department as the entity funding the trip, but that doesn't make it correct. They've been succeeding at the interview because the VO usually don't ask about who pays for your flight expenses.

If you meet a tough VO who just wants to ask questions about everything, you go hear am.

NewBoyKhashoggi, it's now clear that all of your answers are speculative. You get your answers from what you see other people answer online, whether it's true or not, and you've never actually left the country.

Desist from spreading falsehood, misinformation and misleading unsuspecting Nairalanders.

LudaChriz:

Pls do you mind sharing your profile?

Naijalarry:


Trip means your flight ticket and for those going to the US on a full funding without deficit, it's always advisable to select SELF, since the school won't be covering your flight expenses.

Tinafusty:
Person paying for the trip is your sponsor because the trip refers to your purpose of going to the US

NewBoyKhashoggi:




Hey 🤠

For the sake of future readers ;


On DS 160, The question (Who is the ) Person/Entity paying for your trip means ....WHO IS FUNDING or SPONSORING or BACKING your whole academic sojourn in the USA financially .


1. Answer to this question is of great value. Therefore, if you have received a scholarship, then mention that. (write the name of the institution that has awarded you the scholarship) . ... Go along with your scholarship award letters ..print out all the congratulatory emails and insert it inside your Form I 20.


2. Otherwise, mention the name of your sponsor, who might be your Guardian, Mother or Father or Loan company or your employer , etc.


3. They just want to know where the money is coming from or how you want to cover your expenses .




Best Wishes 🙏

NewBoyKhashoggi:




Hey 🤠


If your undergraduate degree/certificate is direct Bsc , then your CGPA of 2.7 after evaluation (WES) or before evaluation is sitting on the fence .


**** Many US universities also accept students with GRE scores between 290-300.


1. Let's see may be a good Samaritan from Nairaland will give you possible list of schools to reach out to .


2. If the help is not coming forth, then use Google as your last resort and search Public Universities in the USA , pick the schools one by one and send them (Graduate School, International Admissions Office ) enquiry email. You will definitely see positive responses .



Best Wishes 🙏

It’s funny that one is blindly giving advice and not yielding to correction.

For the record, I came to the USA three years ago on student visa so you either take my advice or leave it!

For the question regarding who is sponsoring your trip on DS-160, the right answer is “THE SCHOOL” if you are on full funding. “SELF or RELATIVE” (your choice) if no funding.

VO is not interested in who is paying for your flight to US. The question is about who is responsible for the whole travel experience which is your schooling (tuition, feeding, accommodation etc).
