Is it possible to get F1 Visa for community college?

Yes you can. But, there’s a trick to that. I will explain that with two examples.

In this article, you can read two F1 Visa interview experience for Community College. Then, you can read why one student got F1 visa, and other got rejected.

F1 Visa for Community College – Rejected

I was denied my F1 visa
Here’s my background:

I am a high school graduate, and I was accepted into Foothill College (2-year transfer community college) in California. The Visa Officer, during my interview, asked me two questions about the college. Here’re the questions and answers:

1) How did you hear about Foothill?

The college was mentioned during a college spotlight at school by my college counsellor.

2) Why Foothill College?

The fees are comparatively more economical as compared to the other college I was accepted into(i.e., Florida Inst. Of Tech.). Another reason is that Foothill has an excellent transfer program to the University of California schools.

3) Do you have anybody in the U.S?

No.

After the third question, visa officer denied my visa stating that he found me to be a non-credible student and issued me the 214(b).


F1 Visa for Community College – Approved
Here’s another student who got his F1 Visa sharing his experience.

I have received five years F1 visa for a community college (Pierce College) in Los Angeles. Here’s how?

I applied in January, but I got rejected.

Reason. I could not convince the VO why I am selecting a community college over a university. They need a solid proof.

I applied again in July of the same year, and I got my visa.

I took the course curriculum with me telling them what’s the main reason for community college and what exactly am gonna do. Same classes at university were at community college but at four times the price of community college.

So, I explained the VO why should I pay more for same classes when I can cover them at much affordable price plus how flexible is a community college.

I got my visa and I am typing this sitting from LA. I did some mistakes but not I am on track again. I am transferring to UCLA, and I would recommend everybody “stay honest to yourself” and “Be confident” good wishes from LA.



Visa officers expect students were going to community college to tell them their plans to transfer to 4-year college. You have to make this argument to get F1 Visa for attending the community college. If you can’t convince your visa officer, then you can’t get the visa.

Now, you know the trick. It’s time to save some money by studying first two years in a community college and then transfer to the 4-year university.
COPIED.
thank you very much for this

If you really want something then you need to put in the effort from begining to the end... .so to be off nairaland and not utilising the resource here shows you dont really want it ..

Go back to the beginning. Read previous transcripts. Apply to more uni and not C. Colleges and if you must go through C.College route then learn how to sell yourself well
thanks for the advice but I opinion in for college because it's less expensive compare to university so if I defer my admission to fall this year and reapply for my visa what are the chances of me getting a visa or will I still get denied again? looking forward to your response thanks

Maybe If you post your visa transcript, gurus could look into it, see where things went wrong and suggest a solution. And YES you can always reapply if you want
ok I applied to baltimore city community college and I go admitted I've paid for my semis already and I book for my appointment and this is how the interview went

VO: Good morning
Me: good morning
VO: slot in your passport
VO: why are you going to US
Me: I'm going for study
VO: how many schools did you applied to
Me one
VO: what school
Me : baltimore city community college
VO: why associate degree and not bachelor degree
Me: I want to have a solid foundation cos the basic education I acquired isn't enough for me to to advance further
VO: that's not the reason they are on same level one is just higher than the other
VO: pass me my passport and my denial letter

I said it that those behind apostle sulemans ordeal and spreading the lies are Hidden Muslims..... Not the sincere Muslims but those that have planned to annihilate Christianity in Nigeria.....

I only feel bad because My Nairaland is one of the channels they are using to propagate lies against Christianity and Pastors....

But why don't these accusers of the BRETHREN go to court to seek redress orther than this campaign of calumny and character assassination?

Simple because it's fabrication that can never be proven in a court of competent jurisdiction......

In all, let the accusers go to court and stop the media trial.......
