But can i go wit my mums bank statement to d embassy, it is not up to 37000$, I used my dad's own for my i20

I just got back from Houston, Texas. My wife just had a baby there............i was able to visit some schools during my visit and so i am thinking of applying for an F-1 (Student)Visa. I heard some things which i will like to confirm from you all.

1. That my B1/B2 visa doesn't guarantee me an F-1 visa.
2. That my B1/B2 visa will be canceled even if i get denied of F-1 visa.

Lastly, will u suggest i just go back to US with my B1/B2 visa and change my status to F-1(Student) visa......... I know its very legal based on the info i got from USCIS( United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) website http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment/special-instructions-b-1b-2-visitors-who-want-enroll-school .

Thank You

Apart from the US, you can pay from anywhere, even in New Zealand. He should fill the form online and send to you.

You cannot pay SEVIS in Nigeria.

Join the two bank statements together. In as much as your source of funds on your I-20 is family funds, then father and mother are cool to the your sponsors. So take both statements of account to the embassy. Period!

geoscience or enivronmental studies

Sorry man. Was busy so couldn't really read that.

She could use her dad's statement of account, i mean the one she printed out, used for I-20, if it's not more than three months.

@Sandy, do you still have your dad's extra copy of his bank statement?

@Sandra I will not advic u to go wit d account u printed abt 5-6month ago.. if ur Dad is in Nigeria, he can still get it across 2 u, but if he is outside d country it might be alittle difficult

And when the vo asks her to present her statement she presents two right?

Loool.
Issokay.
Vos dont like excessive explanation. It just shows something is fishy. She should find a way to produce her dad's statement. It's that simple.

Oh...you need GRE.

Search for schools that do not require it.

One stone to kill two birds. What happened to this Indian guy might likely happen IF you enrolled before switching from B1 to F1. Change your status before coming to U.S. In the past, people get rejected when switching while in U.S. They were directed back to consulate outside U.S, just like when extending F1 visa.

kiran18:
Hello,

I went to us in year 2013 and changed my status to F1 from tourism visa, I came t india to visit my family and appeared for visa interview but, VO rejected my profile and didn't even give me a chance to defend my self or answer his questions. However i have completed my 2 semesters in USA with very good grades how much chance i have to get my visa approval and what is the procedure to answer the questions of vo... He asked me for gmat score i told him that I have taken a test in school and the portal says gmat requirement met but no score or number is mentioned how should i defend.
Please respond to me as the earliest as possible as i have my interview scheduled again on 25th may 2015

Excerpt from USCIS website says:

How can I obtain F-1 or M-1 status?

If you currently hold B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant status and would like to enroll in classes, you may apply for a change of status to F-1 or M-1, as appropriate, if:

(1) You have not yet enrolled in classes
(2) Your current status has not expired
(2) You have not engaged in unauthorized employment
To change your nonimmigrant status from B-1/B-2 to F-1 or M-1, you must file an Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form I-539), and include the required fee and documents listed in the filing instructions.

Please Note:

If you enroll in classes before USCIS approves your Form I-539, you will be ineligible to change your nonimmigrant status from B to F or M.
If you are applying to extend your B-1/B-2 stay and you have already enrolled in classes, USCIS cannot approve your B-1/B-2 extension because of the status violation.

Pay good attention to the lines in bold.

Up to 3 months is also cool.

Sorry. How should i address you? Lol. Is Sir okay for you?

DeeTus:

Which ever way u wish 2 be addressed. 3month is still far. If u go wit a statement of account printed 3month ago how do VO know if the money is still der. Try not to mislead her. D VO won't only look at d amount, d date printed is also important

Jan is a little late. Remember, i said 3 months. But at worst, if you're sure your dad's bank statement acount has enough money if printed when he comes back, then you can explain to the VO, instead of going to the interview with insufficient SOA.

The US does not check if the money is there. But UK, Norway, Korea, Finland and Sweden do.

There is no point stressing the Bank Statement issue, sandy already stated the funds is not enough. Why is it that during interview peoples sponsor are always not around? I'm tired of hearing this particular excuse for having a 5 months old statement? Do I need my dads presence to get his statement? No in most cases, what he does is, he calls his account officer and you get to have his statement. So that usual story of my dad or my sponsor traveled is a stale news. If your education or travelling is important to your dad, within 48 hours you should get his statement.
