Pls guru in the house. Can I use a company SOA for u.s student f1 visa interview? Thanks
it's usually advisable to use a personal account in order to save yourself a lot of stress and questioning. Company account is more like the company is investing in your education and in turn should get a profit.

You can!
Also be prepared to give a reasonable answer why they're gonna sponsor you(what they stand to gain). Don't just scrape the top on this question, take your time and explain fully. You also need(just by chance they ask for it) a letter of introduction.

GRE is valid for 5years and I think it take 15-21 days for results to be ready. But you will see your verbal and quant score after you submit your exam

It takes 10 days before it's ready.

thank you very much, first thing youll need to do for a student interview is to be calm (very calm) then have a strong financial background, know more about your major and specialization of your course, and how it make you a successful student when u come back, then prove to them you have strong family ties in your home country i.e ( parents,multiple siblings, awaiting job,or fixed bank deposit) and with god by your side you are good to go... try search for a good private school then maybe when yoi arrive you change it to a cheaper one, thats what people do. I hope i heve answered your questions sir?

When I saw your first comment I was about saying "a big bad wolf in the wood" because that's an agent intro but later realized you just stumbled on the thread and willing to help. But your case is like a new patient that enters a mental asylum thinking he has the biggest craziness, only to meet different levels and classes of craziness.

I will advise incoming student not to follow your advise about "seeking private schools first". Reason is because there are many disadvantages as a private school student than public school student.

1) Students applying to private schools need the same requirement as that of public schools. (no shortcut)
2) Majority of private school students won't likely get any reasonable funding throughout their studies. (waste of time and resources)
3) Private schools may not be relaxed when you want to transfer. (you don enter one chance be that)
4) Credits from some private schools are non transferable. (wahala dey)
5) Most of us can't afford the mandatory thousands of $$$ for first semester in private schools to stay on status before we can even see the second semester to transfer to public. (many no rich like that).
6) Many private schools are for-your-pocket-only organization.
7) And so on.........

You're just a rude little kid. Not because you were lucky to meet a VO who just dashed you visa for your age and not what you got upstairs. Stop making luck look like your doing. You need to sit yo ass down and read

Wow congratulations!!!
I also will be in a similar situation wen going for my visa interview as per using an Uncle's SOA. Ur testimony has put my concerns to rest. But in addition to getting his SOA, did u take other documents to show a proof of your relationship with him (I asked this cos I saw on a website that one has to take a proof of relationship for a family sponsor, for example if one's parents are sponsoring then ur birthday certificate will cover).
Congrats once again
