Please, am a newbie in the house.
I already made admission application but my sponsor is neither my uncle nor a relative. He's someone that picked interest in sponsoring me and he lives in New York. How can I reflect that as to whom my sponsor is?
And what more info is needed regarding such a sponsor?

Ubah1:


Yes.

you sure Ubah1? how do I do it

Ubah1....good morning bro,please is it possible to go to my interview with a diff bank statement i went with the first time,the first one wasnt asked for just that the name of the sponsor appeared on the I20...pls advise me,tnx.

ifyalways:

Unsolicited advice is of the Devil.

My only question was if anyone have been in that situation ; applying for undergrad without SAT or ACTS, not lecture about visas.

There are schools that don't require these standardized tests, but it may be a tougher way to go for an international student. The US colleges will like to be able to compare this student to a typical US high school senior, thus the need for standardized tests.
There may still be time for your student to register for the Dec 1st SAT exam. And from my experience, a typical Nigerian student does better with the SAT than the ACT.

Nutshell44:
It wouldn't be fair if I don't post my transcript,I had to create an account tonight cos I have gained a lot from this thread.
Visa approved Abuja oct 10. Window 12

VO: oh you are going on a student visa. Pass me ur I-20. Just ur i20
I pass am. So why do you want to go to this school(Bowie state university)?
Me : first of all I chose this school because it is the oldest school in Maryland. He cut me
White man : that' can't be true. It's not the oldest school. I'm from Maryland myself.
Me: sir I did my research and I'm sure it's the oldest.
Be like say he come browse am.
White man: okay but u can't tell me u are going there because it's the oldest. What other reasons
Me: definitely not. The program structure of their masters degree program in communication is excellent and the curriculum was impeccable.their state of art facilities is also top notch and it will further broaden my horizon in communication and public relations. Also I have been in contact with some lecturers and prof. Most especially prof Adrian. He has agreed for me to join his research team.
White man: how did you know this prof
Me: I got his contact on the school's website and I have been talking to him since then.
VO:How many school apply did u apply to ?
Me: 3. Bsu,Selu,UB

White man: when did u finish secondary school
Me: 2011
White man: what of university
Me: November 2016
White Man : which school

White man: where's that located, is it private
Me: here In Nigeria...yes its private

White man: how much do u pay there?
Me:600k
White Man:ok. So how are you going to pay for this
Me:My dad
White man :What does he do
Me : he's the finance director of Bleep company and CEO Bleep farms

White man : do you have his statement or any proof
Me :yes. I showed him. He checks
White man : what will you do when u get back to Nigeria
Me: to take over my dads company because I currently work with him
White man picks white paper) I will be approving your visa,you will get a text where to pick up your visa. But I need to verify your statements for fraud. I hope you know if they are found to fraud u will get a 10 year ban.
Me: yes I know,you can verify
White man : but if it checks out you will get your visa. You will get a text on how to pick it up
Me: ok thank you

Picked up my passport last week.

Mehn I fasted and prayed. Even though I stammered a bit at the beginning, I still got my point across.its just grace.
I dey always hear say people they deaf when they approved their visa. Omo I deaf straight immediately for like 5 seconds . Hopely this helps someone.

elevatedmind:


The name on my passport is the right order and the one on my UG cert and transcript is in the wrong order.

If order is the only challenge, then you don't need to worry your head over that. You may only need an affidavit in the case of a typo error.

Hello everyone. Can a person applying for students Visa schedule an interview after the expiry date of his sevis �?

Thanks for your swift response

You already have your SEVIS number, so go ahead and schedule a date, but ensure to pay for the fee at most 3 days before your appointment.

Good morning House.
I'm a newbie on this thread. I'm trying to apply for fall 2019 and the deadlines for the schools I'm applying for are all in Febuary. Is it possibe for me to start reading for Gmat and Toefl in November and get high scores and still be able to submit before febuary. Note that I'm hoping to get assistantship.

Also, can anyone recommend a good tutor that has helped other Nairalanders in the past study and make good grades> This is really urgent guys, please help.

Spring2019:


Congratulations, was your bank statement collected for verification?

No. I came back with it

No. I came back with it. Why do you ask? Is there any meaning to it if they did or didn't

Gabbybanks:

Someone here said they now verify each and every bank statement at abuja and Lagos. I wouldn't have been concerned because my statements are legit but collecting bank statements slows down application. You might not hear from them till two weeks or three weeks and some of us don't have that kind of time as school resumes first week in Jan

No. Is there a way I can facilitate hat?

Bowie state university hardly gives funding, besides it doesn’t require any standardized tests so I doubt they will even give any funding without already being a continuing student

Gabbybanks:


No. Is there a way I can facilitate hat?

I wasn't given funding, but they said I can apply to be considered for in-state tuition!

420friendly:

Yes you can, but target writing those tests before mid-January so there can be enough time (10-15 days) for your scores to get to your intended schools. This would be a good idea if you ace both tests, and do not have to rewrite any.

I'll advise you take your time to read for both of them while preparing your other application materials. You want to do this right once.

Cheers.

Thanks alot
