Good day guys, I can see a lot of success stories coming in this year. Please what documents do I need at Poe, do I need a bank statement and also, what questions are asked. Is it a whole new interview like at d embassy cos I'm landing at jfk and I've only been entering d us with visiting visa so how is jfk Poe for f1 visa candidates

Denvan:
Hello, pls if u dnt mind, what is d name of ur school?

There are penalties outlined in the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act for both illegal presence in the United States and for removal by law enforcement during illegal presence. There is also the fact that any VO reviewing your application will have to determine whether they believe an individual who already has a history of breaking U.S. laws can be trusted to use any visa in the future appropriately. As difficult as an individual's circumstances may be at the time, the best option is to avoid any problems by complying with the law.

All applicants are given equal consideration under the law; visas which allow you to cross international borders are a privilege, not a right.

Busconductor:

The reason for her deportation is clear - she was issued a visitor's visa which was supposed to be for tourism and visit only for her to carry along her educational certificates, thus indicating one with an ulterior motive to enroll in school on arrival in the US and abusing her visa for purposes not it is originally intended for. What plausible reason could a supposed visitor to the US give for having educational certificates, transcripts etc. in her possession? Aren't you supposed to be visiting and sight-seeing? What are carrying your certificate for? Isn't it clear that you have hidden plans to go to school in the US? It is stark obvious that she obtained the wrong visa for her plan (to study) and it is only right that her visitor's visa is cancelled and she goes back to the American embassy to obtain the right visa for her purpose - the F1 visa. Sorry, but that is how the US immigration law works. It is either A or B, there is no in-between.

Her flying Etihad is not the issue. The issue is that she exposed herself by leaving her educational certificates where they could easily be seen. Had she properly stashed away her educational certificates in her check-in luggage or box, she would have been fine. Transferring to F1 status (notice I did not say F1 visa but F1 status as status and visa are two different things. A visa is a permit allowing you to travel and re-enter a country within a specified time frame, say 2 years. Your visa has nothing to do with your status. Status refers to one's legality in the foreign country based on one's visa. A business man who obtains a B1 visa and enters the US and conducts his business transactions is in status (his conducts being in line with the category of visa given to him) or a foreign student with 2-year F1 visa who enters the US and enrolls in school, let's say for Masters, is in F1 status and if after his 2 years of Masters he continues onto PhD, he is still in status even though his 2-year visa may have expired. He would only need to renew his visa if he wants to travel out of the country and re-enter the US) from B1/B2 while in the US is difficult anyway, with a 90% denial rate as you would have to prove the sudden change of mind to study after arrival in the US and prove it was never your ulterior motive to do so.

hottestlegs:
still no answer

Notonlyamerika:
That's normal, f1 visas are valid for 2yrs. Ur 2yr visa is used only for entering the US. While in US, U are covered by ur status (f1 status) which is valid for the whole period of ur course only if you do not breach ur status. U can only renew ur visa outside the US.

amanze15:
no cause for alarm 2 years is the standard, u can extend it during the course of study...I never collect my own,

DARKLIGHT:
Boss, I think it can be renewed when you get to US during your study.
