[@kingsfordonyina2101]

Thanks for passing through! So I have dropped Martin's LinkedIn beneath the video and also the link for the required documents (for the F1 VISA interview)

Thanks, Kingsford and Martin! Just remembered how I was rejected in my first-ever US visa interview. Now I'm ready to face another one but this time via Schooling. Much love from Ph, Nigeria 🇳🇬

Great job👏🏻. Martin has an interesting interview experience. I equally attended EIU and it’s great to see you sharing knowledge about education abroad.

[@patiencempirirwe5449]

I can fully relate, 2 weeks ago, i had fully prepared for the interview, i actually have been working in customer service for the last 10 years, but something happened to me when i got in line and noticed almost everyone in front of me being rejected. Something left my body. The words that were coming out of my mouth didnt mske any sense,thats how i was rejected. I satute anyone who has managed to keep it together at that counter,may i not forget to mention that i was bending while communicating through the window, everything that could go wrong, went wrong with me that fateful day.

[@Blessing-r5o]

Me too, I was rejected in August but am not giving up

[@patiencempirirwe5449]

Who will be paying for the deficit? *I have a partial scholarship and my uncle will be taking care of the remaining ones. He has been the one taking care of education from high school and undergraduate level and even in my one year vocational program in Nigeria Law School, Lagos campus. He is a successful business man. The CEO Nwabu God oil and gas Ltd and estate developer. He has taken so many contracts in this current administration. He was trained by my sick dad, he vowed to reciprocate the love by investing in me. As the only legal representative in my family and unclear family, I have the legal responsibility to manage his properties located in strategic places and this will help concentrate with his business.

[@emmanuelezejnr7066]

Thank you very much for the good work you are doing. It's really helpful. If one gets a fully funded scholarship offer to study in the USA, is he/she still expected to show bank statement as proof of fund during interview? Thank you

[@kingsfordonyina2101]

Generally, USA "fully " funded scholarship comes with a full tuition waiver and a monthly stipend. So in retrospect there're some minor charges whereby you the student takes care of which your monthly stipend can cover that in excess. Best!

[@johnsonajayi7846]

I don't think so since all expenses will be covered. Just take the letter from the school to the embassy and show it if requested. Please be ready and have reasons why you wanted to attend the school and why you chose the major. If you don't answer the question correctly, you might be denied; however, I pray that everything turn out right for you. Just be prepared. Practice before going there, write your answer for this question down and check it the next day to may sure that it does make sense to you. Please show the letter whether requested or not. Good luck.

[@mary-annmakafuiblagogee3996]

I think you should. When you get to the US, it might take at least a month to get done with your documents processing (SSN and other documents). Whilst waiting to be done with your document processing, you’ll make some expenses plus the school will not start paying you immediately you get to the US so just to prove to the visa officer that you’re prepared for everything you should.

[@kingsfordonyina2101]

@@johnsonajayi7846 I guess you didn’t get my submission. There are instances whereby one receives a funding package that fully waives the tuition with a generous monthly stipend sufficient to cover other fees for the semester. In disguise, it’s a fully funded package and the school normally makes an annual estimate…which means it’s not the actual cost. Thus, I was referring to situations whereby the school requires a bank statement to issue your i20. But if they cover all expenses the funding letter is enough.

Hi Kingsford, How are you doing? Hope all is well . The consulate office at which my f1 visa interview appointment was schedule at, is currently closed , due to the COVID. Fortunately, I was able to speak with one of their customer service officer today, and she suggested that I change to another location, cos they won’t open any time soon due to the COVID . Please, what do you advise ? Should I wait till they open, or should I transfer my appointment to another location ? Won’t it affect my chances of getting my visa approved?
