Hello House,

I will like to seek advice especially from anyone who has done/witnessed something similar.

My sister who studied Biochem has been doing business fulltime in the last 3-4 years wants to study Medical Office Mgt. Our concern is how to approach the key points in her visa application SOP drafting.

I will greatly appreciate any advice or suggestion on how best to position her visa SOP and salient points that may help with the difference in first degree and projected study.

Thank you.

Call IOM on phone to book an appointment, tell them it is urgent. If you don't do the medicals within 30 days, your study permit application will be rejected. So book your medical appointment within the timeframe and complete it.

Hi, q life bookings are only open on Monday by 8am, I think, anyways for IOM just send an email with the letter they will make space for him or better still he should just go there with the letter they will create a close date for him.

Hello,


I have similar experience as you.
MY spouse has been in the US on f1 visa before I applied for graduate school. My interview was this week and my visa has been issued.


You don't have to lie about anything. Just state it as it is.


I was asked "are you married "? I said yes. Then the next question was so what happens to family when you are away. I told the VO that my spouse is currently in the US on f1 visa and I have no kids yet.

If every other thing is good, then this shouldn't be an issue.


To answer your question about statement, there isa high probability that the VO wouldn't even look at your statement, however, printing the extra 2 months statement or requesting it wouldn't hurt. You want to make sure every t is crossed from your end and you have nothing to worry about.

It will change before the deadline given to you. Keep checking for nearer dates. You can also mail or call them if you don't see a nearer date in a week to the deadline. Best.

Fill a new DS 160. Then update your visa page with the new DS 160 and SEVIS number. You have no problem.

Hello House,

I have a inquiry, I will state my story briefly:

I sought to apply for an f2 visa, I filled the DS-160, paid in the bank, opened an account on USTRAVELDOCS, and I am currently at the stage where I am supposed to book an appointment. I have not booked the appointment because I have not seen a favourable date.

The Twist

I have now gained admission and wish to apply for an f1 visa to attend my program. its logical I abandon the earlier f2 application but I am unsure the steps I need to take to begin/complete the F1 application. do i fill new ds-160, do I proceed with the same USTRAVELDOCS account (how? considering that an f2 application is live in the account), or I will be eligible to open another USTRAVELDOCS account?

I will appreciate your kind and step by step guidance on how I need to complete the application given my unique situation.

Thank you

If your program is fully-funded, go for f1 first if not go for f2 and apply for f1 when you get to us. Remember that f2 has longer waiting time and if you are denied f2 visa now you can't apply for EA for F1 until after 6 months.

It will be a misrepresentation if you add your spouse before marriage. As it stands now, you are not legally married at this time, so if you add your spouse now, it won't work.

I believe you can add him/her after ITA and even AOR.

OtunbaTee:

Yes, But let him explain in his letter of support that he has never operated a bank account and reason behind this decision. It will end in praise.

OtunbaTee:


Did the person actually say he/she doesn't have a bank account? Because you definitely need a SOA to show POF. no 2 ways about it. Also depositing a lump sum into your account prior to your application will definitely raise a brow. You can only encourage your sponsor to open an account and also pay part of your fees from that account , when you solve number 1, then number 2 would be easy....it will end in praise.

I said after I had submitted my application I realized I didn't submit my mum's bank statement as my sponsor so I was worried and decided I will send it through webform so the day I was about sending it through webform the NSE request dropped so I just used the opportunity to get the ticket ID and password of my statement and that of my mum's statement!!!.Hope the explanation helps!!!
