UmmZayd:


Hmmm how is the brother doing? And did he entered as a student too? Making sure everything about the brother is legal is necessary. She can change her sponsor. I've had friends who changed sponsor if you think that's the issue but I'm sure that's not the only issue. How much is the cost of attendance and for what program? Was she asked why her brother will sponsor her and what does the brother do? how long has he been in the US?
If you can provide a well detailed transcript of how her interview went it will be good.

Best of luck

Please have you seen someone that used a US relative as sponsor and was approved?
because am married and am using my sister in US, but I was planning to change sponsor because I defer from spring to fall session

gbarinze:


Applying to a school in the same location where you have indicated your relative lives has always been a red flag.
Now, it may worsen her situation if she change the fact of her brother being there, because they now have all those facts. I think the best shot here is to opt for another different school entirely, located outside the area where the brother lives

Please who can be used as a sponsor for a lady who is married?

What of if the person applying is married here in Nigeria will it still be a red flag?

Chynwem:
A friend of mine got denied today. The only question they asked her was about her sponsor, which is her brother and he stays in Texas (same state she is applying to). Now she wants to defer the admission to Fall. Is it possible for her to change the info on her Ds 160? Or she should keep going with that?

Is she married?

What if the person filled her sponsor is from the same location in the US where she wants to school but has not done the interview yet, because she defer her admission to fall,can she use another sponsor from Nigeria for the new I-20 she is requesting for and fill a new ds-160 form and update it before the interview date?
Since the old ds-160 form has expired
Will they still know

* V.O: Pass me your passport and i20

* V.O: Where are you going to?
I am going to Texas A&M Kingsville University for my Masters in Electrical Engineering

* V.O: How did you hear about TAMUK
I have two family friends who currently study at Texas A&M Kingsville. They told me a whole lot about the University and the quality of education I stand to also benefit if I come.

* V.O: Which other school did you applied to and how many admitted you?
University of Texas at San Antonio, New York Institute of Technology and Texas A&M Tamuk

* V.O: Why Tamuk over UTSA, NYIT?
I pretty much enjoyed my interaction with Dr Armit Verma of the Department of Electrical Engineering in the Frank WIttcherweich School of Engineering. He provided me with prompt and precise responses to each of my request. We already built a good rapport. he was very excited on my admission to TAMUK as compared to the other Universities I applied to.

* V.O: Why Electrical Engineering?
Coming from my first degree on same course, I am now more passionate to acquire the requisite trainings to become a leading force in bringing about the lasting change in our power systems. Indeed there are numerous challenges with Power in Nigeria same as its opportinites and the vacuum here can only be filled by those who have the right knowledge.

* V.O: Why do you want to study in the USA?
Graduates of American Universities are always very well skilled. American Universities offer impeccable syllabus with a great blend of both practical and theoretical skills. Also, their degrees are highly regarded globally. They occupy juicy positions on their return to the country due to their acquired skill. Their degrees are well appreciated and recognized globally. Why do I need to consider anywhere else.

* V.O: Tell me about your study plan.
After my two years study stay in the US, I will deploy acquired skill into improving the power system of Nigeria by seeking for employment with the Ministry of Power specifically and becoming a contract lecturer with any of our top rated University in Nigeria. Instilling in them the right academic standard needed to be a better Engineer.

* V.O: What will this degree do for you?
This degree will arm me to be a better competitor among the league of well trained engineers who are willing to help build Nigeria. It will formally align me to global standards in terms of being a properly trained Electrical engineer.

*V.O: Tell me about your academic background
I finished from the University of Port harcourt in 2018 having graduated with a CGPA of 3.85. For my final year project, I worked on the comparison between Proportional Integral and Proportional Integral Differential for Liquid level control. I use Matlab for basic computational analysis. as this was deployed at Afam gas plant in Rivers State.

* V.O: What you been doing?
After my compulsory two one year NYSC, I have worked with a few Nigerian companies in the Engineering sphere, such as (abc) height in Port harcourt, and now (xyz) Electric. Currently with xyz Electric where I function as a Maintenace Engineer, I carry out maintenance checks on Electrical parts with the help of circuit software JIRA.

* V.O: who is paying for your studies?
My Dad.

* V.O: What does he do?
He provides Industrial gas to manufacturing companies in Lagos, Ibadan and Benin.

* V.O: Can I see his bank statement?
Oh Sure.

*V.O Goes through the statement for over 3 minutes cross checking every detail
V.O What is FBM as stated in the statement?
I said its one of the transactions that occurred. Actually a case where a client made payment. The statement actually has N34 Million.

*V.O Goes through the statement again while typing some crap.
*V.O I’m sorry you are ineligible to enter the US at the moment, while handling to me the blue paper. Please check through section 214b …………………
I was dumbfounded, I felt my world was crashing in on me. I left the facility disgusted.

The truth is, the V.O don't want to give you visa, if he wants to,he won't dig you like this

Please does that mean I will need to fill another Ds-160 because I was admitted for spring but I couldn't get EA request approved,so I have to defer to fall 2022 because my regular appointment date is May 2022

Moshkom:



2. You would need to fill in a new ds160 around the time you schedule for the new interview. Ds160 expires after 30days of filling. So get your new date before you start filling it.

1. Yeah, kindly reschedule to at least 60days before the resumption date on your i20. I mean, if your school resumption is August, get you a May-July date.

Don’t forget the date search kick start from NOW, don’t wait till later, now!!!

Goodluck!!

Please did you pay additional money after Visa approval? Like issuance fee?

habeeb246:
your sponsor?

Did you pay any money after the visa approval? Or issuance fee?

Salsabil88:

He asked me that he sees u have deficit, who's gonna pay for me. Then I mentioned my uncle. But now I will use my father's account, secondly I will deposit some amount as personal funds, and I will go with My statement of account. My total cost of attendance is $26k, scholarships awarded is $2500 only.

Ok, does that mean no other money reflected on your I-20 form except the scholarship awarded $2500 ?

Salsabil88:
Hi guys I got denied under section 214b at Abuja embassy on Nov 4th.
Heres my transcript and I will be deferring my admission to properly restructure for new interview.
Vo: After greetings with the Mr Korean.
He asked me where I'm going to study.
Me: University of Findlay.
Vo: which course
Me: masters of science in environmental safety and health management.
Vo: I see you have funding how will you cover the deficit
Me: my uncle is gonna pay for me he works at yzx
VO: have you travel out of the country
Me: Yes.
He handed me the blue paper.

My observations are: I indicated that I'm single, & my last job was in Dubai which I recently quit because I have to come to Nigeria for visa. So this shows that I don't have strong ties in Nigeria like wife, job or investment.
Now in my next application for visa I want to indicate that I have married within the last 4 month, I have 7 siblings & my parents and I have a new job with my salary like $1400k & will change my sponsor to my father from my uncle or can I use a company as a sponsor with the agreement of deducting 30% from my salary after coming back? Kindly advise me thank you

Why did he say you have deficit?
Please can you share how much was the total cost amount in your I-20 and how much money you made available,

Please if my I-20 form indicate is my sister in the U.S that is sponsoring me, Is it ideal for her surname to be the same with mine to make the V.O believe that we are related?
