This was your post on Dec 4



So as at Dec 4, it was your father's company account. By Dec 9, the account now belonged to your step brother? And to think you had the gall to complain that i was accusing you of fraud. You sir are only deceiving yourself.

Hopeful17:
Please is there no way I can ask u questions privately... If there is let me knw

My interview is in January and I'll need someone who I can interact with, by asking qns and I sending the answers so the person can correct me.

Also I applied to just a school and have found out that they always ask how many schools one applied to, is it safe to say I applied to just the school I got admission into...thanks

TWoods:


This thread works great actually. You may get responses from folks who have more recent experience or have a different perspective. So i'll encourage you to ask your questions here.

Yes, they do ask how many schools you applied to. It's simply a way to determine if you're a genuine student or not. Even JAMB asks you to pick more than one university on your application so why will you simply put all your eggs in one basket. At this point it is not a matter of being safe or not, you should simply tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Lying, only for them to find out later, has far more repercussions than simply being denied a visa.

I appreciate everyone on this thread.
pls a quick question.
MUST the sponsor have the same surname with a student applying for F-1 visa?

femi312:
No but be ready to defend why he/she will be sponsoring you

denbaba:

OK thanks. what should be the minimum amount of cash in my sponsor's account when I'm going for a program of 6000$ tuition fee?

femi312:
Sigh..Anyways he/she must have alittle higher than what is stated as your total expenses (Tuition and living expenses) on your i20 for one year.

sunshineluv5:

This is for those already in the US, I know a lot of people are looking for a good online store to purchase quality clothing, unlike the high cost in most US shops, I was able to get one good online store that is selling with an average cost FREE Shipping included to both US and International! You can always visit them anytime https://purefashiongallery.com...PEACE!

TWoods:


No such thing exists. Estimating cost of living depends on where you choose to live. One way to do this would be to add these up:

1. Tuition + school fees/expenses
2. Depending on where you live, housing can range from $500 - $1500/month
3. Gas/electric/cable/internet/cell phone - assume at least $500/month (it may be less)
4. Auto insurance - $200/month
5. Auto maintenance - $500/year (if you have a reliable car and all you need is an oil change every 4 months. If it's an older car, budget more.
6. Food/house supplies - $200/month

Add pocket/spending money.

What you'll need at the embassy should be at least enough to cover your first year of study.

Note these are just rough estimates. Use but modify to your own specific situation. For example, those who live on-campus won't need to worry about items 2, 3 and maybe 6 (except the cell phone).

The website isn't responding. I think there is a misspelling or so.
