Hello house,

Does having a conditional admission affect whether the VO denies a visa.
I got an offer in Lamar university and it states
“Your admission status is based on departmental recommendation. Full admission status will be granted once you have completed 12 graduate semester hours with a minimum grade-point-average of 3.0.

Thank you

Very unusual from Lamar uni. Why is your admission conditional? Would the conditional status reflect on your i20?

Hello guys I got an offer from university of Florida, but it wasn't clearly stated if there is any form of funding available, is there anyone who can assist with alternative means of funding and the chances of visa APPROVAL

Congratulations. This is huge. All glory to God first.

Now, please don’t look for any alternative funding source yet. Ask your department whether they have GA/TA position in place. Usually, department have this fund for you so that your tuition can be waived and you can get paid stipend every month while u study. Also, the chance of visa approval is high when u secure some funding.

Email the graduate coordinator. I think for u to secure admit at this time when it’s already late mean that you’re on to better things ahead.

Congratulations once again. UF is no mean feat

Please who knows the next available date for students starting school in August?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by dgee1(m): 1:44am On Apr 15
Please what if you get some funding, but still have about 8k deficit. How best can one show proof of ability to cover the remaining cost, to increase the chances of one's visa getting approved? Personal account? Relative (mum, dad ,uncle, etc.) or Mpower loan? Thanks in advance for your response.

Please don’t take MPower loan to the US consulate in Nigeria. That can work in other countries

The best would be your own money, follow by sponsors money like your parents

While it’s important that you take proof of funds to the embassy, the VO won’t necessarily look at it. So it depends on how well you’re able to articulate your case when asked about how you’re going to pay your deficit.

Likewise, $8k deficit isn’t that much. Stop panicking, your visa will be approved by Gods grace

Your gpa must be the reason. You didn’t answer the other question. Anyhow, congratulations and best of luck.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by missidy: 10:59am On Apr 15
What is your gpa? If your CGPA is low, it might be the reason you were given conditions. You need to prove yourself in the first semester.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by JohnZak: 12:23pm On Apr 15
It is likely due to your GPA. A GPA less than 2.5 is equivalent to about a C grade which is considered a very low grade. Some universities view your undergrad GPA as an indicator of your grad school performance. The program probably conditioned your offer so that it does not bring down their graduation percentage. Some masters programs would rather kick out a poor performing student than have that student lower their program completion percentage.

If I were you, I would wait on other programs to see if I they would make me an unconditional offer. A conditional offer might be problematic in the eyes of a VO.

Hi. I got admission since February. What program did you apply to?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by rsogbuyi: 5:11pm On Apr 15
To be sure if I get you right,
Is it that when it’s 60 days to by resumption (June), I will make an application for emergency date, or I can make the application for emergency date anytime but I’ll be given a date from June-July?
