Hello VO,
I have a scheduled F1 interview next month in Saudi Arabia, I have to do it here because i currently work in Saudi Arabia, though some folks say going to my home country is the best option for me, however, i dont have that liberty right now as i have to complete my work contract.

My questions are:
my I-20 reads ''ACADEMIC AND LANGUAGE'', is that the normal thing for someone going for a masters degree in the U.S?
or is it because i haven't yet demonstrated English language score required by the university that admitted me?
the university said i have to enrol for an intensive English language training at the institution before i commence my program of study or i can place out if i re-take IELTS.
However, i want to proceed for interview and see the outcome before i re-enrol for ielts.

please what is your take on this issue? do you think insufficient English language score might impact on my interview?

if the consular at the interview ask me the purpose of my travel?, how should i answer so it can reflect what's on my I-20 sufficiently, without painting a negative picture on my performance??

Thank you for your reply.
