mrcodebreaker:Firstly, you have to decide whose bank account statement you want to use for the whole process, it is a red flag to use an account for collecting the I-20 and using another account for the Visa interview,it is a discrepancy, how do you plan on defending this? What do you plan on telling the VO on what happened why the person decided not to sponsor you again or why you decided to change your sponsor? Note: The VO's are looking for inconsistencies,pls try not to put yourself in that situation. Except if you have a very convincing reason for the change which still depends on how the VO perceives it. Best advice is be totally sure on the account you want to use before collecting the I-20. Also, from what i've gathered here, it seems using an American bank account statement has two sides to it. Depending on the kind of VO you get,it might be a sign that might constitute 'lack of home ties' , meaning that you can decide to stay back after studies because you have adequate sponsorship for your welfare beyond your studies, this is not a good sign for F1, but another VO might feel that you have a good source of money to take care of your studies and grant you the Visa but my personal opinion is 'why risk it?' |

Happiness67: Ok bro. Thanks for your feedback. I will stick with family funds from my parents and siblings. So please how can I start building this statement. What figures can be coming in. and how much do you think can be paid in small small. the target is 43k usd which is like 15m up. Asides salary of my siblings how can i build their account gradually. thank you |

Happiness67: Most i20 don't carry name, so there is no way a V.O will know the account statement the person used when collecting his/her i20, so i don't agree with the discrepancy issue you raised. Also he can use his sisters own to collect i20 then go ahead to used his own account statement. There is nothing wrong in it. The only way there will be issue is when the school writes the name of the sponsor on the i20 of which 90% of schools don't do that. Once all the means of sponsorship are genuine, he can use any. Personal account statement of sponsors are well encouraged than business accounts. |

Time2win:Hello bro,if you followed his quote well enough,you would have understood what I meant. He said and I quote 'can I use my cousin or aunty in america bank statement to get my i20 while I and my sister work on BUILDING the ONES we plan to use for the interview'...So the question is what if they got another source of fund that is not family related,then how is that not a discrepancy? He then said 'POSSIBLY' using his sister's bank statement for the interview after building substantially on it in his subsequent post, what if his sister's acc is not available at the time of interview or it has not reached the required amount(43k) as at the time of interview and they have to look for another source outside,won't that result to a discepancy in information provided on I 20 and bank statement presented during interview. My advice was to inform him to play safe and consider all scenarios,thanks. 1 Like |

Happiness67: You are assuming, he hasn't started looking outside. Family funds includes parent, uncle, aunt, cousins, siblings. Thats what you will see on most i20 aside self sponsor. So everything he is doing is still within family and even if he eventually get another statement of account elsewhere, he can still claim the person to be his uncle/aunt. Your uncle/aunt must not have same surname with you. 2 Likes |

Time2win:Ok bro, but you are also assuming too, let's not try to derail this thing, let's focus on helping him and pls let's not try to find fault on another person's response to a question,it is not too good, it is like trying to make someone look somehow.Just air your opinions by quoting the question, without highlighting or quoting another person's response. Love you bro |

mrcodebreaker:Bro, 43k no be small something..But everything is possible by God's Grace. The VO's are looking for consistent flow of income into the account. Many questions like how much is the salary that enters into the account of your sister or family member monthly? Is it much? And also know that you have like 5 months towards fall 19 interview,how much can enter within that 5 months? The word is consistency here,A sudden flow or rush of income into the account might be a cause of concern to the V.O.Just try to consider these things and make the best choice of account. Thanks |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Time2win(m): 1:25pm On Feb 21, 2019 |
Happiness67: Sorry if my reply looks like am trying to find fault. Just wanted to explain the whole scenario to him. All the options he planned to use can work out. He should just make sure everything is legit |

Pls I need your input here... My brother who resides in China operates a Domiciliary account here in Nigeria with GT Bank.. We have same surname & I want to use him as my sponsor. I want to know if dollar account will be a red flag to present at the Embassy during interview process.. Thank You! |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Milkshakes01(f): 3:28pm On Feb 21, 2019 |
Well, I believe it depends on the occupation, A real estate agent get lump sum of money in their account, A lucrative business person get lump sum of money weekly, the occupation you tell the VO doesn’t have to be that of a salary earner. There are occupation that you can say you sister does. In 3 months, you can build up 15m in your Acc without any issues Happiness67: 1 Like 1 Share |
