Hi Esther! Please i got my old Acknowledgment letter for spring but i deferred to fall. I have received my I-20 form and i also have gotten a visa date but i don't know what i should do about the Admission letter since my acknowledgement letter is showing spring and im going for fall.
Pls I'm going for my interview I got a job upon completing my education in the USA.... in the letter from the firm stating I got a job waiting for me.... should the firm put their stamp on it or not
Hello! I really do not know about the process for post-graduation jobs and such. You can reach out to your university’s designated school official (DSO) for international students. They will most likely give you the best answer.
Hii, i have a question please!!! If my program is starting on the 1/1/2024 and am applying for a bachelor's degree which it's a four years program! How long did my passport expires date supposed to be?
Hi Esther, I've been trying to apply for the fall 2022 semester but I'm finding difficulties applying. Has the application deadline passed or can I still apply and please tell me an easier way I can apply thank you .
Hello! The deadline (November 30) has passed for Fall ‘22. There is only one admission cycle per year so now you have to wait to apply later this year for Fall ‘23. Application opens around June or so
Thank you ESTHER for this video I have a question, i dont have IELTS,TOEL because the university i apply to know that i did not have cause i told them and they said okay so what do you think ,
Hi! Are they significantly different/ unrelated? That’s not really ideal but if you are asked, you can explain what happened…guessing it was a mistake? You just have to tell them as I cannot think of anything else
Hello, no you don't need to do that except you just feel like it. I did not have any when I did my interview. Having enough funds for your ticket is good proof that you can afford a ticket
Please on my university application form I made a friend in the united state as my sponsor, but it's my brother here in Ghana who's going to sponsor me , so can I send my brothers bank statement to the embassy? And how much does he supposed to have in his account before they accept?
Yeah it shouldn’t really matter as long as your school doesn’t specifically list your friend as the sponsor somewhere in your admission documents. You can use your brother’s financial documents instead
Hello, IELTS/TOEFL serves a different purpose compared to GRE/GMAT. IELTS/TOEL only tests your use of English Language, nothing else. Most schools ask for it. GRE and GMAT are academic tests and you have to find out which one your school of interest requires as it varies.
Hi Esther! As long as the school didn’t require it, the embassy will not have need for it. If they bring it up, just tell them that the school didn’t ask. Good-luck!
Hi greetings please..am a community college AAs degree I 20 holder .please my aim is after my studies In community college I will transfer to a university for my bachelors degree making it total 4years tow years in community college and tow years in university . please should I tell the VO that I want to university after my studies in college ..???? And also please in my DS160 should I fill in 4years length of stay in the USA or tow years please help am confused!!
I already responded to your other comment but for the length of stay, I’m really not sure tbh. I would say two years just cos you’d eventually need to get another visa for the transfer later + you can explain at your interview but I don’t exactly have the best answer
Did you write an Statement of purpose for the visa application ?? And do we need a police clearance? If my bank statement has good amount of money, more money than I said in the Berea application, will it affect my visa?
No, I don’t recall having to write the SOP but I think there was a spot in the visa application form to add any information that would help in analyzing your visa application. No I didn’t use any police clearance No, your bank statement during your visa application can have a different amount from what was in your Berea application.
please after i have gotten admission in a college in united states, what bills will the college expect me to pay before coming there? i know i'll pay for tuition fees from my home country but i don't know if they are gonna ask me to pay a 1years accommodation fees even before i get there
Hello, you are only expected to pay the amount you choose to contribute as shown on the application form. You do not pay tuition nor accommodation before coming to Berea.
Thank you for this video. I’m sure it’ll be very useful soon😌
Yes!! ❤️
Hi Esther pls for student who wishes to study Masters degree is it going to write IELTS exam?

Hi, please what counts as proof of SEVIS registration
Is that in terms of visa application? That means you need to pay your SEVIS fee
Pls I'm going for my interview I got a job upon completing my education in the USA.... in the letter from the firm stating I got a job waiting for me.... should the firm put their stamp on it or not

Hii, i have a question please!!! If my program is starting on the 1/1/2024 and am applying for a bachelor's degree which it's a four years program! How long did my passport expires date supposed to be?
Hi! Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the resumption date so July and beyond for expiration
Great job Esther, pls tell me if Berea college admit matured students of 28 to 35yrs old for this undergraduate Scholarship program
Thank you! Yes, Berea accepts students of any age because there is no discrimination based on age.
@@EstherOlabisi Thanks Esther 🥰
what if your passport got missing and your new one isn’t valid for 6 months does that mean they won’t grant your visa?
I would imagine that a new passport will be valid for more than 6 months, except I’m missing something from your explanation? You can clarify ☺️
pls who has gotten his visa approved going for undergraduate studies here?

@@EstherOlabisi hey so I want to twll that as berea is a free college so no such fees are needed right so what to show in financial documents
Hey great video lots of help but do I need to do and bring a completed form i-134 to my interview??
You should definitely take any financial supporting documents to the interview

I got approved
@@Chapo992 That's wonderful news! I am so so happy for you. Congratulations buddy! 😊
Hi Esther am going for me interview next month but the major in my I-20 is different frm my ds-160 is this a problem
Hi! Are they significantly different/ unrelated? That’s not really ideal but if you are asked, you can explain what happened…guessing it was a mistake? You just have to tell them as I cannot think of anything else
wiil it be any problem if i don't take expired old passport to the visa interview
I’m not really sure to be honest, you can call the embassy to ask
Do I need to book a flight itinerary reservation and take to the interview?
Hello, no you don't need to do that except you just feel like it. I did not have any when I did my interview. Having enough funds for your ticket is good proof that you can afford a ticket
No, because the US recommends you only buy your ticket and dispose of property after you have the visa in hand.
Please on my university application form I made a friend in the united state as my sponsor, but it's my brother here in Ghana who's going to sponsor me , so can I send my brothers bank statement to the embassy? And how much does he supposed to have in his account before they accept?
Yeah it shouldn’t really matter as long as your school doesn’t specifically list your friend as the sponsor somewhere in your admission documents. You can use your brother’s financial documents instead
Hi Esther, in your financial aid package from Berea, did it include costs to cover the cost of air travel from Nigeria and did you get a stipend?
Hi! No the financial aid package doesn’t include air travel costs. You don’t really get any stipend…your “spending money” comes from working
Pls what is USA test that's is needed for Masters I mean GRE or GMAT or ilets,
Hello, IELTS/TOEFL serves a different purpose compared to GRE/GMAT. IELTS/TOEL only tests your use of English Language, nothing else. Most schools ask for it.
GRE and GMAT are academic tests and you have to find out which one your school of interest requires as it varies.
Good answer
Hello Esther, the school that offered me admission didn’t require for IELTS/TOEFL, will the embassy have need for it?
Hi Esther! As long as the school didn’t require it, the embassy will not have need for it. If they bring it up, just tell them that the school didn’t ask. Good-luck!

Do you need to do medical tests before the visa interview if getting a F1 visa?
Nope!
No. Only need medical for an immigrant visa, not nonimmigrant
Hello Esther can you please tell me how your IELTS exam when. was it hard?🙏🙏
It’s been a long time so I could barely remember any specific info but I don’t remember it being hard. Just put your best in preparing ☺️
@@EstherOlabisi seriously 😭😭😭😭😭 think hard
Lol it’s been 6 years+ buddy. I remember for sure that the speaking test was super chill. It felt like a random conversation, not like an interview
@@EstherOlabisipls can chat private please🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@moseswuam2570 you can send an IG message to the account linked in my about section. I will do my best to respond
Please is berea college really free, how many tuition free scholarships are given each year
Yes, it is truly tuition free until you complete your degree.
Dear. If my father sponsoring me did he have to sign my i-20
Your parent/sponsor only needs to sign if you’re under 18. It’s written on the form
What colour should o sign my DSO signed blue colour
Did you write an Statement of purpose for the visa application ??
And do we need a police clearance?
If my bank statement has good amount of money, more money than I said in the Berea application, will it affect my visa?
No, I don’t recall having to write the SOP but I think there was a spot in the visa application form to add any information that would help in analyzing your visa application.
No I didn’t use any police clearance
No, your bank statement during your visa application can have a different amount from what was in your Berea application.
