Hi... I'm 23 years old, I graduated from high school since 2016 and I'm just processing my undergraduate admission at northwest Missouri state university. Will I have any issues concerning the gaps and if I may ask, what do you think is the best response if I'm asked why I'm just coming for my undergraduate after 7 years?

@@mayowamorinsola “I had financial constraints after graduating high school and so decided to take on a job as a research assistant to cater for myself and save towards my university education” No, I don’t think you’d have issues about the gaps. It depends on how you present your story
Insightful, as always! My F1 Visa Interview is in weeks. I got a partly funded scholarship. Hopefully, I’ll come back here bearing testimonies. Thanks a million for these life saving hacks, Fisayo.

I believe that this university is capable of giving me the education that I want to get. My university offer a very strong business program. It also offered the specialization that I was seeking. I also have a very good impression when I was in contact with the admission and when I read the students reviews about the university. How that look like
Hey madam Fisayo. This is a very good insight. Just asking , l already habe a gmdegree in educstion from my home country but l want to go and take nursing. How can l answer that?
Hello, it's me John Okot from Uganda. I plan to go to USA Washington DC for my studies. I believe by listening to you this is going to help me during the interviews.
fisayo thank you for the wonderful info, you are a blessing to our generation, I want to ask you a question, I have sponsor do I need still need to sumbit my own bank statement, ?
Hi just observed your masters is in businesses administration and that's what am going for. Please can I have your own insight on how to go about the interview with few detail approach
Hi Fisayo, thank you for the video. Do you think only having applied for one school in the US is a bad thing for the interviewer? I'm confident in my choice and didn't see the need to apply for other shcools
Hi fisayo My sponsor is my uncle and I’ve been hearing a lot about how it can be a disadvantage saying “uncle” Please how do I answer the question of who’swho’s funding this to provide enough family ties with him
Thank you so much for the video. I want to apply for an expedited interview date but the available dates I keep seeing is either today or the next day. Do you advise I apply like that or I should keep checking for a further date. My start date is January 3rd.
This will depend on how prepared you are. I’d advice you choose the next available date since there is no guarantee you’ll see other dates in the future
Hi Posh! That is what I intend to do do too. My start date is in January 9th, next year. Initially, I kept seeing a day to but when I checked last week, I saw this Wednesday for the next available date. I advise you keep checking. You will definitely get a date that will give you at least 3 to 5 days to prepare.
Hello Fisayo. My question is a little bit unrelated to this video. I learnt that immigrants are not allowed to bring in dairy products such as milk into the US. I'd like to ask this only applies to liquid can milk or if dry milk is allowed.
Hi Acharya, I covered that in this video. Have you watched it? I also listed some possible questions in my previous video, towards the end. Please watch it
Hello if asked whether you will be paid by your organization will keep paying your salary as an employee if your F1 visa is approved, what is the right answer?
Good Morning ma’am I’m going for sociology but my main focus is on the business force. Please tell me what you think of my answer and correct me where it’s needed. Ans: Sociology will help me gain creative marketing and communication skills that are highly demanded in the market; making me a though leader in the business field and upon graduation I intent to return home and start up my own businesses leveraging the skills that I gained during the program. In the long run I also want to start up a nonprofit organization that will help women business owners start new businesses.
Several answers to this question, you can do a quick google search for other points but what comes to mind is more opportunities to advance in the sociology space, more people who are actively working in that field that you can connect with, more funding from the schools in the US to study that course than Canada etc
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?
@@FisayoGracieAbby the school is at Muncie, Indiana. I was admitted and I'm planning on going for my visa interview, I just wanted to hear your own opinion.

@@agathaugbogu7872 I'm sorry to hear about that. The chances of not getting a F1 visa when your sponsor is US citizens is 100%. Because the 214b is trying to say that u do not have any ties to your country of origin. Being that America is a capital country, they want money from outside to come into their country. So it's somehow difficult to get a visa if you have sponsor from USA or u if mention to officer that you have immediate relatives in the USA.
@@FisayoGracieAbby yes I intended to do a BS in Computer Science in the US but have an interest of potentially doing a MS in Computer Science as well. But should ppl like me indicate that to the F-1 Visa officer (interviewer) or to say that U peruse it in U home country?
@@reemie786 I don’t think you need to talk about the Masters since you only got admitted for a BSc program first. Only state was is required or asked. Going further to discuss plans of staying back to do Masters may sound complex

I need an answer to this because I applied to only one school which there was no sponsorship and my dad is sponsoring me ,I did not even bother to process others because I have had several rejections from schools in UK
