Dear Nairalanders, Please I need your help with regards to directions for my F1 visa application for a post graduate degree. Because, I am a novice in this area, I went through an agent and paid a large amount of money. But I have suffered untold delays in the hands of the agent coupled with a shoddy handling of the admission process. It is a tale for another day. Presently, I have admission for fall 2019 for University of Akron Ohio - MA Communication and Media Studies. Yet to get my i20 and I've been told to pay for visa fees to beat time. What chances do I have seeing that I couldn't get funding of any kind? My undergraduate CGPA is 3.88 and I got 92 in TOEFL. There's not much to my bank statement except I'm able to get a sponsor which I am trying to before time. I am female, married,in my early forties. I have two children who I want to travel with. I am prepared to start the process all over again to ensure I get it right. Please advice me. Thank you and God bless. 1 Like |

I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment since yesterday but I’ve not been able to login my profile. The pop up keeps saying “Login failed please check username and password.” I auto saved my login details so I’m sure that’s not the issue. The last time i logged in to check available dates they wrote “approaching the number of times required to view this page” could that be the reason? Anyone with similar issue? Please help |

tellbiodun: Sorry about the manipulations of the agent. But keep this in mind, you cannot go to the US with kids without having a very STRONG financial support. Infact, even with Full Funding, the VO still wants to know what your husband does and how he will support the kids because full funding is meant for the student not the family. I don't know what the agents have told you. . but I advice you to wait and get it right as you've said. 1 Like |

Dhebie19: Please reset your password . The limit of trying to reschedule is around 5 times after which you are restricted from rescheduling for ONLY 24 hours after which it resets and you can reschedule again. Clear the inputs by the auto save and manually enter it. Like I said you can reset your password too. 2 Likes |

Dhebie19: I had this issue like two weeks ago, I tried the forgot password option and it didn't work. I sent a mail and I was told I logged into many times or so and I should wait for 24 to 72 hours to try again. I waited approximately 48 hours and I was able to login 1 Like |

Please try and go with it. I had a similar situation. No deficit on my i-20 but the VO requested for the confirmation of my funding. Which I presented. she read through line by line and saw where I was asked to pay 1k USD for a semester. Although the letter also indicates this fund can be deducted from my pay installmentally but still the VO asked if I have any financial statement for this purpose. I feel itz better to present a financial statement in such a situation. This shows despite being funded, you still have something at your disposal. Time2win: 5 Likes |

omohakin: It doesn't mean you would have been denied if you had no SOA. The I20 clearly shows no deficit and I have not seen anyone denied for such. 1 Like |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Time2win(m): 10:54am On Jun 11, 2019 |
omohakin: Your case was different. The V.O didn't have time to digest your letter well and capitalized on the 1k$ he/she saw. Most times, they don't ask for the letter. Worst case, they will ask you to send your Statement of Account via DHL if they really need it after seeing your full funding and you didn't come with one. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by omohakin: 11:00am On Jun 11, 2019 |
What if the VO requests for other document like mine. please kindly advice the fellow to go with since she/he can get it. Nobody knows what else is written on her/his funding letter or sort which the fellow didn't disclose. Yes it might not lead to a denial but from experience I saw how many times the VO read through that clause on my letter and the stern look on her face. My I20 clearlys shows no deficit (0). In my opinion. Let the fellow disclose any of such info in the funding letter. A better advice can be given. Brown2Green: |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by omohakin: 11:03am On Jun 11, 2019 |
This isn't true. She read through my i-20 and letter thoroughly. Infact I became bore during the process and my reflex action of drumming with my fingers slightly set in. Time2win: |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Time2win(m): 11:08am On Jun 11, 2019 |
omohakin: You saying it isn't true, were you the one reading it to know what he or she read. The V.O knows what he/she saw. Many people with full funding went for their interview without any Statement of Account and were approved. If it's needed, they will ask you to send it. If you have any, carry it along. If you don't, don't bother yourself. Just attend your interview. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by omohakin: 11:24am On Jun 11, 2019 |
You still don't get my point. I clearly stated in my writeup. If the fellow can get hold of the bank statement. Why not go with it. I insist that I saw how many times she read through that thing. Something else I noticed..the moment I aswered yes to that question and presented the financial statement. She gave me back almost immediately. If you can hit the nail on the head while delay?. like I said. IF the fellow can get the statement...why not. For me, I never planned going with it. Three nights before my interview, I woke up and felt the strange urge to go with it and it worked for me. This platform is for sharing informations most especially personal experiences that rarely occur so others can learn. It is just a different experience from norm. I understand your point Bro. I just shared my experience. Brown2Green: 1 Like |
