hwfwl: Since they are 2 programmes from different schools, it's very possible to change from the masters programme in school A to the PhD program in school B after the first semester. You'll just inform the masters programme that you won't be continuing the programme. According to the department of homeland security, you can have multiple form I-20s (https://www.voanews.com/a/can-i-receive-multiple-i-20s/4008980.html) but you have to eventually choose one. One question I have though, is why do you want to spend money on a semester (masters) that you may let go of? Some PhD programmes can allow you end your programme after 2 years and will award you a masters degree. You can systematically inquire and see if that's a possibility in the PhD programme that you're interested in. However, if you've not yet obtained the PhD admission, be careful how you inquire as it may suggest that you're not interested in the PhD programme. 2 Likes |

DRscience: There are several options available to you after graduation from your masters programme if you want to stay back. First, you can apply for your optional practical training (OPT) when you're about graduating. It gives you up to 12 months to work in a job related to your course of study. Depending on your field of study, some companies in some fields like IT and engineering can file an H1b (work permit) or a green card for you. In the advent that you don't get sponsored for an H1b or green card, you can apply for an extension to your OPT if you're in a STEM related field. Another option is to apply for a PhD programme (most are funded). That will be an additional 4 years. Many companies that employ international PhD graduates will sponsor you for a H1b or green card. Alternatively, with your PhD degree (and to a lesser extent with a masters degree, unless you have good research publications), you can apply for a green card through the national interest waiver programme. Here you have to prove that you have skills that are needed in the US. The national interest waiver programme route is expensive (about $7,000 -$10,000) because most people use a lawyer to avoid any complication. The last option is if you meet a guy in the US (who's a US citizen or permanent resident) who loves you and walks down the aisle with you (assuming that you're still single and free). Then you can apply for a green card through the marriage route. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Timotee:Thanks for the reply. Not that I want to waste funds as such, it's just that I have been processing admissions for over a year. Now that the masters admission looks certain for spring 2019, the phd admission is now also a possibility and I should prefer that but its fall 2019 and I can no longer wait that long. I doubt if I can cope with the boredom. But am told if I embrace the masters it would be difficult to change to the phd if eventually I want to when fall comes. That's where I am confused. I love phd but to wait another year ill rather start a masters program and then change if I feel like when the time comes |

hwfwl: I totally understand the boredom in having to wait out the PhD programme. If you have the money, it's very possible to switch from the masters programme to the PhD programme, and it's very straightforward. |

Dwebsites1:You're towing a dangerous part. As I would always advice, do not make claims you are unable to substantiate. It is not difficult to discover the truth from you. If you applied to 1 school, admit it and give a very good reason why you did so. Visa Officers are your friends and are willing to comply with sincere applicants deserving of approval. 3 Likes |

Just finished filling my ds-160 but somehow I've not convinced myself enough to submit and sign it. Meanwhile I have an issue. My sponsor is my uncle who owns a trading company so money enters his company account and leaves almost immediately but it's daily and constant. Now I'm wondering, if I present this type of statement and at the time the embassy wants to verify is when he has pulled out the money and waiting for another inflow, will this affect my chances? Secondly my aunt has a fixed deposit of 19m, can I present the investment certification as proof of funds?? Can I on my ds-160 put both as my sponsors ![]() Also, for a student, what's the acceptable length of stay? cc lagosismyhome. Guys please help. Thanks |

Hello house, happy Sunday. ![]() My visa interview is fast approaching and I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone I have reached out to to help correct my preparation transcript...God bless you guys. Please I'd really appreciate anyone who can help me with both oral and physical mock interview to help with my preparation. I'd be so grateful...thank you! ![]() |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Dwebsites1(m): 11:21am On Oct 21, 2018 |
Are they going to verify the place of work after approved visa? or only bank statement they verify? thanks |

Dwebsites1: Sir, i have a feeling you're going to be padding up your stories just to get your approval...i sincerely wish you all the best though! ![]() However, i know a thing or two about telling lies! You'll sense a need to tell stories and unfortunately they won't add up. The pressure you'd be under would make you slip up. And boom...the VO figures that out and the misrepresentation is going up on your record. So please, don't sugarcoat anything. Tell the truth always and as weird as your truth might sound, stick to that truth! Just figure out a better way to prove you're telling the truth. Finally my brother, you really don't know how to lie. And you i doubt you know how to express your lie! ![]() Once again, I wish you all the very best! Cheers. ![]() 2 Likes |
