House, for instance I'm already a freshman in university A, but before leaving Nigeria, I applied to a university B (the school that I prefer) for the next academic session and got their admission. Is it possible for me to move, kinda like ditch university A and go to university B without having to come back to Nigeria for another i20?
NB- I know direct transfer is possible, but it doesn't come with the incentives that freshman admission goes with.
Please house, help with thoughts on this. |

@Theflint1,
once u have registered in school a, you can't leave to school b except through transfer. The only way out is, to not register with schoo a and go to school b with ur sevis info transfered, and it must be in the same semester.
This is from what i know, hope i'm nt wrong house |

Zeezahbee,i urgently need your advice and help. My cousin went for her interview on tuesday and was denied visa because she has a pending immigrant application(which has been pending for about 4 years,she didnt even know its still pending and her mum was the sole applicant). Fees have been paid and semesters second week in january. What is your advice,should she re-apply? will the pending immigrant application always stand in the way? Kindly advice |

If 20th is on your I-20, then you're good. Just let the VO know you've made all preparations. You may wanna request for extension letter from your school tho Hey, I'm in a similar situation. My tentative interview date (if i'm not granted an emergency appointment) is Jan 21st but my school resumes first/second week Jan. What does an extension letter look like? Is it an email or a regular hard copy letter delivered by post? I'm asking because I'll have to request for one, but i dread the prospect of having to wait another two to four weeks for another mail via post. Which was what landed me in my current fix. Fall's looming... |

Kindly advice She shouldn't reapply but wait on her immigration decision. She has declared her immigration intention the day her mother submitted that form I-485 (if she did), so applying for a non-immigrant visa won't likely be favored on time. |

drmathewchuku:
hello everyone , I love this group and I have always been a guest so far today I have registered.
I need your help! about two years ago.my wife applied for an immigrant visa of H1B category and included our first born and she was not granted the visa due to incomplete documentation .she was to reschedule for another interview and she changed her mind.as at 11th of december my daughter applied for an F-1 visa to study in the usa after I made payment for her tuition.now the VO refered back to the non immigrant visa application as submitted by my wife in 2012.
so she want denied visa.
my wife then sent a mail to the immigrant lawyer in the usa that was handling her immigrant application then and she was told that few weeks atbhwr request and from the america embassy it has been terminated and my daughter can reapply.please if she reapply how can she convince the consular that the previous application for non immigrant has been terminated
thanks all
Dr.mathew The problem is that USCIS or U.S. embassy doesn't like dual intention. H1B is a non-immigrant visa but including her name makes her beneficiary to immigrant benefits through her mother. The lawyer only terminated the mother's application but the record on DHS file still remain active. She needs not worry about the partially terminated case but how to convince the consular that her own case and intention is genuine and different from her mother's. I'm sorry to hear that you've paid the tuition. Payment of tuition is never advised for any international student before obtaining F1 visa. |

hayour00:
Hey, thank you for your response..What about if USCIS gives her a response by January and probably grant her change of status but decides to sit for SAT in January and go back to Nigeria to apply for degree program and enter as a freshman in summer..Is that going to affect her application when she decides to apply for F-1 visa in Nigeria with new I-20 from a four years program school? why will she go back to nigeria after USCIS has granted her a change of status, once they grant it, she must start classes with the school on file ASAP, if she dares go back to Nigeria, she will have problem at the POE, only the school on file can give her a letter to travel, that is she must be in that school for spring. what i am saying is that, if she get USCIS approval, she should sit her ass in USA |

NB- I know direct transfer is possible, but it doesn't come with the incentives that freshman admission goes with.
Please house, help with thoughts on this. seems you have asked this question before, you must resume at university A, then transfer the next semester. reason why is that you have do not have an i20 university A |

Kindly advice contact the school to return your money, as long as she has a pending immigrant visa, her chances are as slim as a broom.sorry but thats the deep truth. only 1% of people having a pending immigrant application end up getting a non immigrant visa. my own hard truth is tell her to wait for the immigrant visa |
