femoric9: I am back with my questions again, tanx for alwys bin there for me. I actually deferred my admission from fall to dis spring semester and i am expecting my new Form I-20 and i plan to chose late november for my interview since my sch resumes Jan9. My only concern is dat i have gotten d bank statement of my broda dat i intend to use and i find out he has just #7m in it and sch fees for d 1st year is like #4.5m, pls wat other document can i add to dis to convince d VO dat he is capable of sponsoring me. Likewise, i realise dat d bank statement balance flunctuate alot, dia was eveb a time he had like just 400k, 500k, 700k and co inside it, though he started wit 5m as opening balance in march. Pls, advice me, because my only concern as always bin d statement palaver. Also, hope i can still use d statement in november since i have printed it out now already. Tanx and God bless And you addressed 7million naira as 'just'. You made it sound as a pittance. Anyway, the money is okay as long as it covers your school's financial requirement for one year. But you said your tuition is 4.5m. I want to believe you meant all the financial requirements for a year including books, feeding, room/boards, miscellaneous. The other documents you can go with to substantiate his bank statement is his affidavit of support and his tax clearance certificate. As for the roller coaster of funds reflecting in his bank statement, bother less about that. It's even good, because that denotes he's not just depositing money there. All the BEST |
