There is no way Walspring would know this as he doesn't work in that particular school

The best person to answer this is the sender , which is someone in the school. If you need this answer then ask the school directly

No i live and work here with my husband.kuwait doesn't give citizenship
TWoods:


The result of your next interview is likely going to be the same. The number 1 criteria to obtaining a non immigrant visa is that you demonstrate that you have ties that compel you to return to your home country. It’s harder for you to demonstrate that since you live and work in a foreign country. You’ve already shown a preference to emigrate.

Are you a citizen of Kuwait?
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by PweetieBimbola(f): 6:05pm On May 23, 2018
My dad is sponsoring me
LagosismyHome:


Who was the sponsor in this application for student visa.... your husband or the friend. If it the friend that can be a hard sell because what the gain of the friend to sponsor you for bag which is 4 years

If it your husband then better.... not sure what help or feedback anyone can give you but to refire and try again. The ways in Kuwait might be slightly different. I am not sure for a fact. Interviews are subjective based on the Vo perception if you are a credible student or not.

Automatic Termination of Optional Practical Training for F-1 Students If They Transfer to a Different School or Begin Study at Another Educational Level

USCIS reminds F-1 students on Optional Practical Training (OPT) that transferring to another school or beginning study at another educational level (for example, beginning a master’s program after completing a bachelor’s degree) automatically terminates their OPT as well as their corresponding employment authorization document (EAD).

Although authorization to engage in OPT ends upon transferring to a different school or changing educational level, students in F-1 status will not be otherwise affected as long as they comply with all requirements for maintaining their student status. These requirements include not working with a terminated EAD, because termination means that students are no longer authorized to work in the United States. Working in the United States without authorization has serious immigration consequences, including removal from the country and bars on reentry. Furthermore, remaining in the United States in violation of lawful nonimmigrant status could lead to an accrual of unlawful presence which includes another set of penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Currently, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) informs USCIS of the termination date, and the OPT termination is automatic under current regulations. USCIS has updated its systems and will begin to enter the EAD termination date into these systems after being notified by SEVP. USCIS will notify affected students and provide them with an opportunity to correct any errors in the record via their designated school official (DSO). This process is intended to strengthen the integrity of the F-1 and OPT programs, to ensure consistency between SEVP and USCIS systems, and to inform students of possible consequences of working with a terminated EAD.

Please I need someone to help me shed more light on the possibility of v.o’s approving visa for an individual going to university of Idaho through there global student success program. The benefit of the g.s.s.p is that you are Not applying with either gre nor toefl ,the first two terms is for English courses and other pre masters subject. You tend to pay a deposit to book your seat before your I-20 can be issued to you. May I know if this is a credible way when presented to the v.o as I have done my research on the program and also the school. Please gurus in the house , help with this .

GSSP is fine....it's just like a one year pre-masters program, but it counts towards your overall degree which may last for about 2 years.
The only constraint is the cost. No funding is given but you can get on-campus job.

The way you have your answers im afraid the VO might lose interest and cut you short half way through the conversation.... You see its very important that your answers are not Verbose so try and rephrase..... how about something like this

I choosed Tarleton State University because of the opportunity to work with Prof Bradt (Prof Bradt is enough to mention) whom i had the opportunity to meet during the annual international agricultural conference in Tanzania. He was the guest speaker. he is a great researcher of plant breeding and seed technology something he has been doing for the past 25 years ( i think its better you say this here so as to try and buttress your point on why the prof made you choose the school) and i am fascinated about all his work on the various crop he has worked on ( you can mention 2-3 crops ) He also offered me a research opportunity on a particular project he is working on which is "Variability and use of multiple seed viqour indices to predict field emergency and potential longevity in crops like seseme and zea mays . which is value for money ..

i think this way you did be more clearer and concise... Those botanical crops names though grin grin grin grin why not use the crops common name instead, the VO might not even know what type of crops you talking about lol

The one thing that breaks my heart is when I visit the barbershop. $18 for haircut and $3 dollar for shaving (Biko why would someone cut his hair without shaving). The same amount you spend on haircut you can use it to buy 4 packs of organic chicken labs and 1 pack has about 14 chicken labs(drumsticks). Sigh angry

If you do that again.

Now go get yourself a clipper and pay no barbers no more!
