[s]Greetings,am 32 and married and have gained admission for my masters at depaul university. My dad is my sponsor.but now am worried the consular would wonder why at my age my dad is my sponsor since i work and am married.i need advice pls[/s]

Ask yourself why your dad's sponsoring you... or ask him. Once you get your answer, just say it to the VO and don't dwell on it. I don't see an issue with that at all, keep your preparations going and don't have a negative mind. A married 32 year old man could be sponsored by his father.

Who knows if it's a loan from the father or maybe the father wasn't in the man's life while he was young and decided to make up for it by helping him progress with his life and be a better man.

You're 32, not 92.

Let me just leave this here... if you’ve noticed, most serious students with good gpas andvwho end up in tier 1-2 schools have zero time for the disgusting bitter bile often spewed here. I understand... much of it is largely coming from folks who aren’t as good, have limited opportunities and are frankly frustrated.

First lesson you will learn, your lot in life is NOT the responsibility of anyone else but you.

Second lesson - bitterness gets you no where.

Third lesson - there is no substitute for hard work.

Fourth lesson - you are not special. You won’t go anywhere fast in life if you can’t handle criticism.

Fifth lesson - your “spirituality” is quite silly. the idea that you can curse someone from your cyber cafe in a dingy Lagos street and think it has any effect is an illustration of why you are where you are today...

Now curse away!

Hello All,

I am currently on F1 in the US and my fiancee got admitted to the same University. I am wondering if it is fine for her to state this in her DS160.

You’re not married so she is not required to state this. If she’s asked at her visa appointment, she is free to mention it.

Really thoughtful answers. For once someone answers the why this school question with a believable and personal response.

Your personal ambition section is lacking though... is there concrete assurance that you have a job waiting for you?

Ask yourself why your dad's sponsoring you... or ask him. Once you get your answer, just say it to the VO and don't dwell on it. I don't see an issue with that at all, keep your preparations going and don't have a negative mind. A married 32 year old man could be sponsored by his father.

NYC talk ma......you deserve some accolades....

TWoods:


You got admitted to Duke... pretty easy to grant you a visa... congrats!

Let those who continue to choose visa-mill schools learn from you.

Hey Twoods. It's been a while.

Yes Twoods , a master's degree in Agricultural science is a requirement for me to pick up a lecturing job at my alma mata and also give me an opportunity to also work as a consultant where I can give extensional services to Agricultural Organization and Industries !! Furthermore , as an entrepreneur , I get preach what I practice !

.I hope its not bad @twoods

Ubah1:


But those that will interview him have oyibo mentality. I know some that are married, sponsored by their parents and got visa. My concern is the age and the school he chose.

Oyibo mentality yes but cultural pattern of the local country is always taken into consideration

Same way if i am a white guy and I go shaking , kissing and hugging everyone , if deployed to a Muslim country then cultural consideration has to come effect .

I can't really remember the transcript but it was a very brief chat about my previous travel experience to the US and plans to return to Naija. It was so brief (less than 2 minutes or so).
I just noticed this thread exists...so, calm down... I can send you some cupcakes

Yes, trust me your answers are unique except that you need to add something more on what next after your masters answer, so spice it up a little bit more... all the best

Do you have this in writing? Just make sure you do go with something concrete and concise. They’ve heard plenty of aspirational statements.

But good job so far.

Absolutely. Yea, I was so into studies that I can't remember what goes on on TV anymore.

It's good to see everyone still active here.

Now curse away!

This your fourth lesson is for you, even you can't handle criticism and you run into your shell if 3/4 known people on this thread tackle your response. But we know the person that is making you feel like you are very important.

Dear all,

Please I want to know. Between Oregon and Florida where would you advice someone seeking for admission to go to for studies. University of Oregon and Florida State university particularly? Anybody studying there or have attempted to study there? I have looked through the net but I need opinion of people who have been to the USA/ have first hand experience. Am considering two schools there and the tuition are reasonably okay. Looking at cost of living and where I can find a lot of people sharing my colour �. Thanks everyone
