toluene1234: 1) I think you'll be selling yourself short starting with 'No Nigerian University offers that. ' it is well known that there are lots of online courses and certification available with Labs too' So start with something better. You can talk about the real time hands on experience in research and technology which the United States boasts as top in the world and how such is valuable back here. 2-3)How many admits did you get? You just mentioned some badass schools that ideal for your course of study on your lists. So you have to think it through how your response would be. As much as possible, avoid generic responses especially in questions relating to why this school and why this course? You should start by stating the opportunities to have certifications in various programs in addition to your degree, and flow to other valid points. Try to start with your right foot cus VO does not have time to wait for you to build your thoughts. 4) seeing you graduated 9 years ago, it is expected you have taken time to build your professional career . This is your strength for home tie so don't play with it. You can say ' I will be resuming full duties at my place of work and look at working with top government agencies in tackling the issues with vulnerabilities and bla bla bla... Make sure you grab the gist .. 5) if your program is a maters program, your family has no business with travelling and they are expected to be your home tie. Your response to this question is a no no from my point of view. Kindly let the VO know that all arrangements has been put in place to take care of your family back here and more so, you wouldn't be spending much time before getting back to your family. Only PhD students can take the courage to state that their family will come later on due to the span of their programs. 6) organize that response.. They can see it on your DS 160 so just give it a perfect summery. . ' I completed my NYSC in 2012 and have been working since then. I am currently bla bla.....' For your course it is almost impossible to get funding before arrival. ( what's the total expense on the I20?) All the best bro. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Please, if a company's SOA is submitted for I-20 processing but the sponsor's letter/promissory letter states the name and relationship (uncle) of the sole owner/signatory of the business, what fund provider name is the school likely to write on the I-20? Company's name or account owner's name? Also, which selection is appropriate in this case while filling the ds-160 under "who is paying for your trip?" Organization or other relative? Thank you. |

gbeje: Some schools don't state the personal details of the sponsors on I20. So you have to find out if your school does . You can notify the International office that you did prefer the details lifted from your financial support statement not the SOA. |

funding isn't really a problem although anything above 20k a year would be bothersome, I would like some recommendations if you can. to also explain properly, I am into web development, and the reason I was considering doing data science is because of the machine learning, web scraping, etc. program and not because of data science itself. bracelum: |

adurajoseph: If you had an undergrad in Computer Science, I would have encouraged you to do an MS in CS. An MS in CS is more flexible because you can take up jobs in Software Engineering, Web development, Data Science etc. You can still do it with your BS in Econ but you will have to take multiple prerequisites and it depends on your motivation. A good option for you would be MIS (MS in Management Information Systems). MIS is not as quantitative as an analytics master's but you can still use it to enter the analytics industry (but it will be more difficult). The reason I suggested MIS is because your reason for doing data science is not very strong and I want to suggest a degree that has many career options for you incase you get disappointed with data science. A degree in MIS can make you a web developer, a software engineer, a data person or an IT Business Analyst depending on how you want to customize your degree. You have to be a lover of statistics for you to find joy in data science. And you may be disappointed that a lot of your projects in data science may not require complex machine learning techniques due to problems with interpretation. Based on your explanation, I would suggest MIS and the following schools might make sense. Based on your budget, I would suggest choosing 2 ambitious, 1 moderate and 2 safe options from this list. I see no need having 5 funded admissions from safe schools when you could have just risked 1 or 2 of those spots for more ambitious targets. AMBITIOUS SCHOOLS - their alumni base is massive and this will help you land good jobs via networking 1. MS in MIS at Texas A & M University: You will need a 315+ GRE and some prerequisites in Java and SQL (I think). With assistantship, this degree will not cost you up to $30K in 2 years and their job placement rate is ~100% after 3 or 6 months. 2. MS in MIS at University of Arizona: Another good option with opportunities for landing assistantships that reduce your cost of education. 3. MS in IS at Indiana University MODERATE SCHOOLS - Please search for more schools and let me tell you if they fit into moderate bracket 1. MS in Biz Analytics or Information Systems at Oklahoma State SAFE SCHOOLS - Search for more options 1. MS in MIS at Northern Illinois University 2. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Phrance:. Going well with VIU. .. i doubt that . Truth be today you can never know or say an interview was going well or predict the outcome. Only the VO knows what in his or her head but it helps by picking the right school I personally will not recommend anybody going for interview with that school |

JohnnyAmhan: Firstly i dont know anyone in Little Rock so cant really help there The bold part was a terrible idea.... forging doesnt help anything but creates more problem. Let say you had scaled through and even got your visa. Then what ?, you are left stranded in america with no resources to pay that fee . Been stranded in the US is no joke . What you need to do is have a plan on how you intend to fund this waka. 3 Likes |

I am taking a prodigy loan letter covering 84% i20 amount, one statement of account from an uncle (same surname) in the US, another statement from a guardian here, CofO of dad's house. Questions 1)Is this a gd combination? 2)Are affidavit of supports necessary from any of my sponsors? Can i do without it for any or all of them? 3)Will they 'send' me and the CofO if i present it? Pls gurus wey don enter yanky and know every, assist answer |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Nobody: 6:31am On May 20, 2019 |
amb001: C of O is not necessary. And having multiple bank accounts is also a red flag. Your loan letter (if provided) and one bank statement should be fine. What school and what program is that? |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by JohnnyAmhan: 7:38am On May 20, 2019 |
LagosismyHome: I understand very much ma. But I can pay for monthly rent while in college, but the fact is the school is saying they will withdraw the scholarship from the i-20 if I stay off campus alone. So now it's just to get the i-20 with a relative or I pay the 8k for room and board which came quite too sudden ma... Notwithstanding ma, the Athletics coach has promised to offer to complete it to full ride by spring semester as I came late for fall, but the admissions office will withdraw the full tuition I have now by that time if I don't enrol in fall, and it was competitive to get it. So now I just want to get the i-20 with my scholarship on it... I hope you understand ma. |

JohnnyAmhan: I understand you clearly but you still have no plans or stated them so the discussion only goes around in circles . Even monthly how do you intend to pay this ?. Not all school would you find jobs on campus for freshman Also In a lot of school , all freshmen will be required to live on campus, even students whose family house is close to the school so i am not surprise at this. For me there nothing i can help with, the school rules is their rule |
