    Thanks for this video and I have a question please. Does the figure for the cost of attendance need to match the "student funds" figure? Or the student fund can be more than the cost of attendance ?

    • @EstherOlabisi
      @EstherOlabisi  Před 2 lety

      The student funds figure must be equal to or greater than the cost of attendance ☺️
      Note that you have to consider the source of student funds i.e the bank statement. Like if your sponsor has other dependants, you can’t just show the exact amount - needs to be way more …stuff like that. I hope you understand xx

    Thanks for this video… So you mentioned your earliest admission date which is 12th July to be around the time you can travel to USA but they stated classes start from 22 August.. so like isnt that more than 30 days required to be in usa law or its the program start date which is 11 August that will be considered ? Will be glad to get a reply

    • @EstherOlabisi

      They consider the program start date because that’s really when you need to be at the school (orientation, etc), not classes start date.

    What I'm going to ask is that how you can convince them that you are coming back !??!.
    .
    I really need this .
    .
    And the second one is for English language institutes do you need that much money in your account to get the F1 !??!.
    .
    And what about if you have someone there going to take care of you is it guarantee that the F1 for you!?!?

    • @EstherOlabisi
      @EstherOlabisi  Před 2 lety

      You’re welcome. Convincing them that you’re coming back is all about proving home ties. My video on F1 visa interview goes into that czcams.com/video/CsgzHt9enUk/video.html
      For any institution including English Language ones, you need to show the amount of money required by the college (tuition + fees).
      Nothing really guarantees your F1 visa approval, you just have to prepare in every way; however availability of required funds is definitely one of the things that help.
