MrMann1:


Contact the school admission office via email. Tell them this experience. DHL tracking will show the exact office the transcript dey. Another thingy is have you been able to evaluate the transcript? It might be the issue, pls try to contact the admissions office of that school. Good luck.

Thank you MrMann1.

It has been located. I am grateful.

Dear Good People

I have asked a few NLs here this question. I felt it would be great to seek more relevant opinions:

How relevant is having cash revealed in my bank statement in order to have a successful visa interview?

My intended school gave me an assistantship that covers tuition and offers stipends. It appears the assistantship covers the estimated cost of attendance by my school.

Pls how much is needed to be reflected in my bank acct statement? And how relevant is that to having a successful visa interview?

Thank you

I think we are in a similar situation. I was advised that having 1m - 2m in my acct should be ok if I'm fully funded by the school. And that other things being equal, fully funded applicants have it easier with the VOs. Not sure sha. Let others comment.

It's truly a great advantage, when VO ask why did you choose the sch, tell him/her about your interest and discipline and chip in that the school gave you funding..

Only your primary sponsor might be on your I20 or simply they will write "family". Embassy requires updated statement, that means the total might have changed after submitting to produce your I20. More genuine documents may also be added.

Hello house,

I am a final year medical student graduating in May this year. I am considering going to the US for a graduate program. I have been having difficulties in choosing whether I should go for Masters or PHD. As a medical doctor, which would you advice I go for?

Secondly, my propose field is either in public health, community health or environmental health. In fact, any health related graduate program would suffice.

Would any of you be so kind to provide me with a list of schools that I can apply to that guarantees funding? I've a pretty good GPA, would be taking my GRE next week. Any tips?

N.B. I am currently in the US, Kansas city to be precise. I am here for an elective program in one of the hospitals.
