Question details
I entered the US on a B1/B2 visa in febuary 2007, and then changed my status to F1 in May 2007. I enrolled into a 1 year certificate diploma program and started attending school in June 2007. I completed the program and in Fall 2008, I transfered and enrolled into a Master's program at a prestigious university. I have completed 1 year of study and I am half way through the program. I am intending to visit my home country this summer. I would like to know the procedure to obtain the F1 visa stamping. I wish to travel and come back while I am a student. I have obtained my SSN and my Driver's License as well. I have also signed a lease for my apt for the next 1 year. I have always maintained legal status till date. I have working on campus for the last 6 months. I would like to know about the chances of getting my visa stamped before coming back to continue my studies. I am very confused listening to people and I really need some good advice. Its been close to 3 years now and I really wish i can get to see my family back home. I will really appreciate any advices and help. I dont know what kind of questions will be asked in the interview. Also the probability or obtaining the visa stamp. Please tell me what is the best way to approach this and the best thing that I can do.
Chances of getting an F-1 visa are remote. I would want you to reconsider the trip. The biggest problem here is, unless you declared to the consulate that you intended to convert from B to F status, they are likely to consider you to have misrepresented your true intention when you obtained/traveled on B visa.
I STARTED MY EB2 140 CASE WORK WITH RAJIV’S OFFICE AFTER WAITING FOR 2+ YEARS ON MY CURRENT PENDING EB3 140 FILED BY ANOTHER ATTORNEY.I GOT VERY GOOD CASE WORK AND DOCUMENTS REVIEWED BY RAJIV, SUMAN AND MATHEW CHACKO IN DETAIL AND SUGGESTED FOR PORTING AND INTERFILING MY 140’S WITH PENDING 485. MATHEW WAS VERY DETAILED ABOUT REVIEWING MY EXPERIENCE DOCUMENTS AND FINDING OUT THE CHANGES REQUIRED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CHANGES DONE AS RECOMMENDED QUICKLY. SUMAN WAS VERY QUICK IN ASSIGNING THE CASE TO ATTORNEY AND ALSO FOR ALL EMAILS FOR ANY CLARIFICATIONS NEEDED. EVEN THE ADMIN STAFF IS QUICK TO RESPONSE WITH SHIPMENTS OR ANY NOTICES. RAJIV WAS SO HELPFUL IN REVIEWING THE CASE IN DETAILS FOR HAVING THE CASE FILING DONE IN A STRATEGIC MANNER ESPECIALLY FOR INTERFILING THE MULTIPLE 140’S I HAVE GOT APPROVED AND PENDING SO FAR. FINALLY WE GOT THE APPROVAL IN LESS THAN 35 DAYS AND I AM REALLY REALLY THANKSFUL FOR RAJIV AND HIS STAFF, ESP. MATHEW CHACKO AND SUMAN FOR THEIR GREAT HELP AND CONCERN TOWARDS THE ATTENTION GIVE TO CLIENTS.I CERTAINLY REFER ANYONE OF MY FRIENDS OR KNOWN PEOPLE TO HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM RAJIV’S LAW OFFICE FOR THEIR GC PROCESS.
