Hey, learn to make your opinion without attacking people. I gave my opinion based on my knowledge and experience about the visa process. If you disagree, you can as well state your points, rather than attack me.

Friedpotato:
You people will just come and make unnecessary generalizations and factless conclusions.

You can always tell the V.O that your school doesn't offer online classes for your course but that was 'only' made available for fall due to the Coronavirus and it won't be available by spring. The V.Os knows this. Like the case of Havard and other big schools.

Apart from that you can always Google why in person classes are better than online classes and tell them one.

Taking online classes has it benefits. it proves that you're financially bouyant to be able to have covered your tuition and you might most likely focus on school and not planning to use F1 as a devious means to run.

VOs interview a lot of people with different majors going to different schools. You can’t expect them to know specific details about your program or school. And even if they do, it’s your responsibility to present your case in the best way possible. Never assume they should know something.
See listen, if you start to take your courses online now, it defeats the purpose of F1 visa. F1 primarily allow you to take your courses IN CLASS. This is why I advice you not to start with online classes because it might make things hard for you by the time you go for interview. And again, this is a period of uncertainty. Nothing is sure. Many things are changing. What if your school decides to permanently continue with online learning after this semester? Just differ till everything is clearer. Best of luck.

The program is Master's in film production. I was thinking any reasonable VO should realize there has to be hands-on involved in a program like thsi. I'm just afraid I'll lose the $5000 per semester assistance if I defer.

Differ your admission till your program is back in class !!! Don’t take classes online when you don’t have a visa. That’s enough reason to deny your application. The VO may think if you can take classes online then why do you need to get a visa.

Jidebambam:
Hi everybody,
I recently joined this forum as advised by a friend. I am particularly interested in the USA visa thread. i recently secured an admission with the New York Film Academy with a $5000 assistance for 6 semesters. I am admitted for fall but I can only take classes online for this fall. I have a lot of questions as classes resume next week. Should I take fall classes online or defer till next year? What are the chances of securing a visa next semester if I take classes online for the fall semester. All input will be highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Did she tell the VO during the interview about her pregnancy?

No, told the VO she was going for vacation. someone in the US was inviting her. The pregnancy wasn't obvious then.

Hello house, My sister intends to have her baby in the US. She is 4 months pregnant with a visiting visa which she got last month. Should she write a change of intent to the embassy? There's somewhere I read if she writes a change of intent after just a month of obtaining her visa, it could be cancelled. How true?! This is her first child after 9 years of marriage so she doesn't want to take any chance. How can she best achieve her aim?
Justwise, LadyG and other gurus in the house should kindly help with the information.

hi guru In the house. I'm a graduate of physics with 2.2 second class lower age 26. I intend to pursue a postgraduate program in IT In Canada. I need informations about some certain things that have been bothering me before I start my application process.
1. what's basically is the difference btw a graduate certificate(1 year) and graduate diploma (2 years) ?
2. how easy one could get a job and subsequently a work permit/permanent residency with any of them?
3. How easy is it to do the whole admission/visa process by oneself or go through the education consultant cos I'm considering maple but the package is kinda expensive with them.
