How many I-20's you have
Have your ever been to US or any other country
I heard that Chennai is bit tough in getting Visa Which consulate is best for F-1 Visa?
We always advice you to got the regional consulate you belong. Chennai is tough!!! No it is not tough.
People defined chennai is tough becoz of it rejections , but if u see the ratio
of rejections with the number of people attending it is same thro out the country. Officers are not constant they change with time.
I am married and working for an MNC here in B'lore, I want to go for my higher studies. How tough it will be for me to take her along with me being a student? Can I apply along my Visa or Do I need to apply after I went to US
I guess your dependent visa process should be intitiated by International student office.
Here are some details...
You must show a bank account atleast $5000(depends on the state and Univ standards) to get your spouse as dependent. If you have been in your program less than 9 months,
then you have to submit a letter of support from your academic advisor. This letter should state that you are adjusting
well to the academic workload and that your advisor is not concerned that bringing your family to the US might
adversely affect your academic success.
The International office issues you a travel I-20 form for
your spouse and or children to use to apply for an F-2 visa and enter the US.
After she comes here she/he is not eligible to work or go to school.
Taking her/him to Visa comsulate along with you!!!, better you contact your International Student Office.
I am going for F-1 Visa, I do have gap of almost 2 years after I graduated how this is effect my chances to get Visa?
Well In US it is very rare to find a candidate who goes directly to Masters after his bachelors.
They will work few years and then they will think about they higher studies
Even we can see 50 years guy doing his Masters. I don't think this is problem infact I think this is postive sign.
Always you can say experience along with Masters degree can help me in better understanding the things.
I got my Visa for Univ of New Orleans, but I do have admission for NIU and I want join NIU.can I directly go to NIU
This is something which immigration officer won't like if you change your univ at the port of entry. Of course some students went like this
but for some it created trouble. Why to take risk. No sooner you have been to New Orleans shift to NIU.
The Univ from which I got my I-20 doesn't need GRE, and I got the I-20 from the univ with out GRE can I go for my Visa
One of the general question the officer asks you is GRE Scores, most of the students carry those GRE and TOEFL scores.
If you don't have it then officer can ask you to come back with scores. It happened to couple of my friends.
Its better if you take the GRE score card with you.
Univ people can always defer you I-20 for next sem, I would say defer your I-20 and give your GRE test.
I applied for 3(NJIT, Univ of BridgePort, Univ of South Alabama) Universities. I got one I-20 from Univ of BridgePort today, but I am sure that I am going to get I-20 from NJIT also.
Can I book for my Visa interview for Bridgeport and later change it to NJIT?
Yes you can block the Visa based of Bridgeport and later you change that to NJIT, I think you are allowed to make modifications
7 days prior to Visa date.
I got my Visa rejected can I go for it again with different passport or with different Univ I-20?
Never ever try to go with different Passport, you may get permanent ineligible status.
Going with different I-20 ? May not be helpful.
Visa gets denied in some situations like
1. Less Funds
2. Less Scores
3. Potential Immigrant
Less scores better you improvise your scores and give a shot, if it is less funds try to change your documents
If he proved that you are potential immigrant, you should be prepared to answer next time and covince the counsul officer
with a valid reason that are you are coming back. Don't argue with him/her just convince him, if he found that you are there for second time
Say,Yes I am here for 2nd time,Last time Visa officer
denied my Visa and labeled me as Potentail immigrant, but having this much of assets on my name and having thich much wide scope in my country
I am not finding any reason to stay back in US. All I wanted is to expose myself to the latest technologies and trends in US....
Talk to him something like this.... Don't show your desperation there.
Do I need to carry SEVIS receipt along with my HDFC receipt and I-20.
Unfortunately YES visit www.fmjfee.com for $100 Sevis fee. I guess they accept all
major credit cards.The SEVIS no should be on your I-20 use that number while providing your details online on mentioned website
pay it there and take the print out while going to VISA. Later thro post you will recieve a card or a from which you need to show at the port of entry.
and show the same at your international student office.
