obaru: Your question is not clear. Is your I20 carrying your name as in self sponsor? Did you have funding from the school? Seeing you're going for PhD. What exactly is on your I20 |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by fairheart(m): 4:50pm On May 09, 2019 |
If your i-20 is showing personal fund, that means you have submitted your personal statement of acct for the application. You will have to go with that statement. Also, do you have funding for the phd program? obaru: |

Good day gurus, My sponsor is in the US I have his statement of accounts of February to April which exceeds the amount on i20. And his income tax returns. Is that enough to prove financial capability? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by obaru: 5:33pm On May 09, 2019 |
Thank you sir. This is what my I-20 states. STUDENT'S FUNDING FOR 9 MONTHS : Personal Funds: $ 0 : Funds from the school $ They left it blank : Family Funds: $ 41,524 : On-Campus Employment $ They also left it blank ESTIMATED AVERAGE COST FOR 9 MONTHS : Tuition and Fees $ 21,040 : Living Expenses $ 15,484 : Expenses of Dependents (1) $5,000 Total:$ 41,524 For the family funds above, I gave them my uncle's bank statement for the school to issue me the above I-20. I have been offered GTA and my Ph.D will be funded after I was endorsed by a faculty member but I-20 has been sent since February which is not showing anything like funding. Please should I still go with my uncle's bank statement which is indicated as family fund on my I-20 or what should I do? Please I need you guys assistance. Thank you |

obaru: Ask the school to send you a new i20 reflecting your assistantship offer. 2 Likes |

obaru: There is ample time to order for a new I20 that will reflect your GTA. My advice, contact international office and inform them of your GTA so they can inform you if there is any deficit, then you can provide an SOA to offset that. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by SplendidGod: 5:50pm On May 09, 2019 |
obaru: I would suggest you write to the school to issue you another I-20 if possible. You could state that it makes the visa process easier and so on. My opinion though. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by fairheart(m): 6:09pm On May 09, 2019 |
Kindly talk to your school to update your i-20, with GTA reflecting. Note in your message to them that it is crucial to your visa as the embassy would want to see a prove on your i-20. Nevertheless, you will still go with your uncle statement of account. Best of luck! obaru: |

Had my visa interview on Monday and here is the transcript. V.O: Good morning Me: Good morning V.O: Pass me your passport Me: (Passed my Passport, I20 and sevis receipt) V.O: Did you apply to any other school? Me: I applied to seven other schools. V.O: You applied to seven other schools? (She was a bit surprised) Me: Yes (Actually applied to nine schools) V.O: Why did you choose this school? Me: Well, it was actually a tough one. I was awarded a fellowship by the school and given a graduate assistantship by the department. Also, my adviser Dr. Pierson was really keen on having me (stuttered a bit here) and went out of his way to convince me to join his research team. Most importantly, his research work on additive manufacturing, industrial automation and cobots are a perfect fit for me because this was what I worked on in my undergraduate research project, so it's more like a step up. ( she was listening and typing all through. Even after I finished she kept on typing for a while before asking the next question) V.O: Which engineering are you going for? (My I20 only had "General Engineering " as the course of study) Me: Industrial Engineering V.O: Do you have any one in the US? Me: Yes, my uncle. V.O: Are you single? Me: Yes, I'm. V.O: (brought out the white paper and circled the pickup location before giving it to me.) It will be ready after 3 working days...... you will need your I20 at the point of entry... Me: Thank you. Thanks to everyone especially those that took time to share their transcript, they were really helpful. I pray those preparing for their interview shall get their own with ease. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

Good evening. I had my f1 visa interview today in Abuja. I was given the white paper that states where to pick up the passport. After, I received an e-mail saying that I have been invited for re-interview. Please does anyone know what that might mean? |

I'm a little bit confused as to what to do next. I received my I-20 form last week Friday and I'm supposed to pay my sevis fee and proceed with other visa matters. But my passport will expire in October and as such, I'll be needing a new passport for the visa interview. I have already started the process of getting a new one but it's really slow. In fact, the immigration officer here in Ibadan said the earliest time to receive the new passport will be by month end. The question is, can I use my old passport number to start processing and scheduling for visa interview while I wait for the new one? Will it affect me in whatever way, going with a new passport on the day of the interview? Guys, thank you for all your inputs on this thread. It has been worthwhile going through it and I pray every genuine student get his/her visa. |

SplendidGod: I don't have a 100 percent sure answer to the bolded but I believe it doesn't work that way. 1. You can't go to receive a Visa and an expiring passport. I believe they won't even take that passport from u. 2. You have more time than u think. I know at least 6 people who are still waiting on admission. 3. Get out of Ibadan. Look for immigration officers u can bribe perhaps in Lagos. 4. Don't do "padi-padi" things with that Ibadan immigration guy. Call him aside, squeeze something in his hands and tell him to show u d way. They are probably hoarding the passport and if they are not, he will tell u exactly where u can get it on time. In all, just calm down and do the right thing once and for all. Be ready to part with some money. Even if u had 10 months on your current passport, d only wise thing to do is to get another passport. Changing Visa from one passport to another is not a walk in the park. 1 Like |

I noticed UPS is having their packages delayed with reports saying 'your package is delayed due to government regulatory agency hold' . So for guys requesting for I20 if you can use DHL or FedEx it would be better. 4 Likes |

@enuelsmith on this forum registered TOEFL for me last year and I just realized that on my account that I have $180 outstanding. I am currently in the US studying. I hope this will not affect me in anyway. I was here last year thanking him for the kind gesture. I was here singing his praise for giving me a discount of 50%. I am confused and sad at the moment. I really want to know what happened because up till when I left Nigeria there wasn't any issue. Is it possible for someone to cancel payment after registering and siting for the exam. I am really worried about what has happened. I dont want any fraud allegations on me in the US. Cc Justwise, Lagosismyhome |

SplendidGod: My advice is go through the immigration page on Twitter, raise a complaint. I had same issue and mine was a bit worse. School refuse to issue I-20 due to less than 6month validity. I went through their Twitter page and picked up my passport yesterday 2 Likes |
