There is no way the program you are going to study will not be captured on your i-20.

If it's not in the i-20 the school send to you, the school immediately and have them correct it.

Alright thanks

Hello everyone, on the 120 form will the person's concentration ( master's program) reflect? What if it is not indicated how does one defend this if asked during the interview?

In most cases, sevis name for your course is what reflects on your i20. Eg my course is Exceptional Learning concentration on Applied behavioural Analysis but Education is what reflected in my i20. My course in education department and that is the general sevis name for my course.
VO asked why PhD in Education, I told her all about Exceptional Learning in relation to education

Please if you have any updates about how to go about this, please share

Please is it compulsory for the sponsor to be related by blood or I can have someone who is not related by family be my sponsor. Do I stand a chance

mojolajesu:
Hey, you shouldn’t have even mentioned your sister at all.

Also, from my experience Loans are somewhat a red flag too. Avoid them as much as possible

So my advise is, get another sponsor, don’t use loans at all, and hope that the VO hasn’t put a serious note on your profile cause that your sister ish is a major red flag!

Are you married? Do you have kids here in 9ja? You need a very strong home tie as well.

Good luck to you

Hello everyone,
Please I need insight on this situation for a close friend. She really needs to know her next steps.
If one has gotten a visa to go to one school for fall 2023 semester and travels and is yet to enroll in the school then the second school gives the person ission with more funding than the first school for the next semester which is spring 2024. Does the person have to enroll in the first school even though the first school is not giving any funding or Assistantship and is asking that the person has to pay the tuition deposit. Should she pay tuition while waiting for the second school to start enrollment? What can the person do in a situation like this?

Me too please 09035676542

If na me I go go the second school

Phenomenal101:
The ph.D assistantship I received from my dream school has a deficit of $15,000.
Can I renegotiate with my Supervisor to give me full funding if the offer letter he sent to you does not cover your full cost of attendance?

What is the best way to approach this.

Should I just settle for another school that offered an assistantship that covers most of the Cost of attendance for my Masters degree, with only a deficit of $3,500?

They should transfer their SEVIS to the second school by themselves.
But if they choose to in the first school they must pay the school fees for the semester attended and then ask for a transfer to the next school afterwards.

Good day house, I am applying for Spring 2024, how long should the letter of recommendation from my lecturers be? Is one page sufficient?

If she transfers the sevis to the second school and decides not to enroll in the first school, classes will not start in the second school till January. Will she be allowed to stay in the country without being enrolled in any school? Her visa is carrying the name of the first school.

You’re out of status once you’re not enrolled in school.

Please what are the schools I can get itted for masters directly with 2.2 that doesn’t require GRE test?

I’ve been a silent reader on this platform and a lot of transcripts here have helped me, so I’d also be sharing mine. I was the 5th person to be interviewed but the 1st one to be interviewed by the VO that attended to me.
She was a black American lady with small pink lips🥰
Immediately she opened her window she called me to come forward, which I did.

Visa Transcript
May 26th, Abuja
Appointment time: 7:30am
Interview duration: 1 minutes( at most)
Status: Approved
COA : $61,000


Me: Good morning mam
VO: Good morning

VO: Have you traveled before?
Me: No, I haven’t

VO: me your i20
Me: (es it to her)

VO: What are your plans with this degree in this school?
Me: Studying sociology will help me in acquiring more knowledge in social theories, critical thinking and data analysis, this will help me in achieving my career goal which is to take up a job with *****. The current CEO of ***** is someone I met when I volunteered to work with **** in sensitizing women about the dangers and preventions of sexual exploitation. Upon the end of my voluntary work I was promised a position and I look forward to graduating in time and coming back to focus on that. It’s also one of my career goal to start up an NGO that would focus on the prohibition of human trafficking in women and young girls specifically, It is also very important for me to be close to my aging mom who isn’t getting any younger.

VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: I would be sponsored by a family friend whom I have known since childhood, when the need for me to school abroad came up he had a conversation with my mom and offered to sponsor me in honor of the relationship that both families share

VO: What does your sponsor do
Me: He’s a software engineer by profession and works with Microsoft, he also owns an Africa food store in the US

VO: What do you do?
Me: I am currently a student at the university of ***** but due to the incessant strike it became necessary for me to school in a more predictable academic environment, hence the need to school abroad.
(VO nods in approval to my ds 160)

VO: Where would you be staying?
Me: I will be staying with my sponsor until my on-campus accommodation is sorted out.

VO: When did you graduate high school?
Me: I graduated high school in 2018 and gained ission in 2019(VO nods again)

VO: When is your program start date?
Me: Uhhhmmm(I really did this, I thought about it for like two secs) August, August 20th to be precise.

VO: Do you have any friends or family in the US?
Me: No, just my sponsor.

VO: Do you have siblings?
Me: Yes, I have two siblings

VO: Older or younger?
Me: Older. I am the last

VO: Where are they?
Me: My brother is in Lagos and my sister is here in Abuja

VO: What do they do?
Me: My Sister works with **** and my brother works with ****
VO: Typing….. (and then proceeds to me my i20 without my port but I didn’t notice she added the white paper to the i20) keeps typing..
Your visa has been approved( proceeds to tell me how I can collect it and saying something relating to the white paper but I didn’t hear.)
Me: Thank you mam, thank you( she smiles and then I walk away)

Note: From my experience, she didn’t ask for any documents or any proof, she seemed to be paying more tension to what I was saying and what I filled in my ds160. I noticed that whenever I said something corresponding to what I filled in my ds 160 she’d nod her head and with all these questions my interview still didn’t last up to 1min highest I’d say 45secs.
Thank you all for assisting me without even knowing it🙏🏾
