Thanks a lot bro, you and Fred are really doing great work. God richly bless you guys🙏🙏🙏. God willing we will join you guys to pursue our academic goals.🙏🙏🙏
Kingsford this is a great video. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am sure your photo didn't look doctored at all. Seems the security guard could have been jealous and decided t o send you on a 'wild goose' chase. Your picture wasn't doctored by anyone so why go there? The security guard will get a cut of the money AND he is only supposed to collect your phone and your bag.
Will use embassy at your home place get to know that you have a brother in use yet you have not stated that you have him in ds160 form, if they get to know what will happen
Once you use him as your sponsor it will reflect on your i20 and they will ask you who’s sponsoring your education so regardless you’ll bring it up. Just be sincere. PS: It’s advisable to use him when he’s on legit status in US
Kingsford after you got a better offer from Eastern Illinois University, what process did you go through to update your visa interview portal? please throw more light on that for me. what exactly is SEVIS transfer? did you update your DS 160?
Thank you Kingsford for this video, A quick one here,i have a first degree in Microbiology, 8 years and still counting work experience in Banking.I intend to quit my job to study(Msc) a health related course or Nursing in any America University.will this affect my chances of my visa been approved? Owing to the fact that i am quitting my job and not studying any bank related course.
I have a question, what can you answer when you're asked why you want to go to a Community College when you already have a Bachelor's Degree and already working in a different field from what you intend to study at the community college?
Hey how are the part where you said the I 20 is supposed to be signed electronically did you mean the school issuing it should put a signature or the part where the student is supposed to sign ( is it the one which is supposed to be signed electronically)
For the admitted students who are waiting for the graduate assistantship decision by the school, is it advisable to wait for the decision to be made before proceeding to fill out the i-20 document? Imagine the decision is made in June, is it a safe enough period to proceed to complete the process leading to your visa? I received a $10K merit scholarship with the admission letter but because the graduate assistantship application is different in addition to other fellowships applications, decisions haven't been made yet by the school.
Edem, Due to how things have changed, I would recommend you proceed and get your i20 whilst waiting for the GA decisions. When decisions are made you can get your i20 updated.
Hi Edem, my name is Ekua in spintex. Please i have just started with my graduate application and looking to get a scholarship too. Is it possible you can help? Maybe if i can reach out to you if its not a bother. I want to know how to go about it. Thank you very much and will be waiting for your response
Thank you once again for all the helpful tips. Here are some questions for you. With regards to the bank statement, will it be a problem if it is coming directly from a sponsor in the US or another country aside from the student's home country? How long does it take for an I-20 to be issued by a school once a student's bank statement is uploaded to his or her student portal? Lastly, does one's I-20 come along with his or her official admission and funding letter? Thank you Kingsford.
Reginald, With regards to the bank statement, it all depends on who’s sponsoring you. If you can’t get one from Ghana( which is quite advisable) then US or another country is fine. Also, with respect to the i20 it depends on the school, now some schools takes less than a day to issue an i20…others too can take weeks or a month. Lastly, i20 is a separate document which comes *after* you’ve secured admission and probably funding.
@@reginaldayivor351 sponsoring from USA may cause to reject ur visa. If you say "i have relations in the USA/I know .... xyz prof in USA, XXX helped me to get admission. My friend XXX in USA/this uni... " cause to reject visa. This is an experience from Sri lanka. check how this affect to ghana
what if the student is offered a graduate assistantship, but to comply with all the required documents such as the bank statement which is necessary for the issuance of one's I-20, used a bank statement from a sponsor in the US? I know the interviewer will want to know who is sponsoring the student. When that happens, and the student makes mention of the graduate assistantship as the main source for him or her to fund his or her studies, will the interviewer probe more to find out about a secondary sponsorship? Thank you.

Not all GA offers cover your full expenses like health insurance, school fees and some other costs. In that regard, you’ll need bank statement to prove you can cater for that fraction.
