please i wish to know if it is possible to apply for a us student visa while in Nigeria or after getting to us.I have been given admission to a university in the us.though i have been expecting the admission before now since early last year

I believe it's far better to apply in Nigeria for your visa

you won't even be allowed to leave the Nigerian airport without a visa so, apply for one asap

To others who may be interested... a few rules of thumb to follow:

1. Just because it says so on the USCIS website that you "may" (note the operative word) does not mean you should. Always remember, immigration decisions you take today have consequences in future.

2. Applications to adjust status from B1 to F1, within 30-60 days of entering the US on a B1 visa are generally rejected by the USCIS. Early applications such as this are always considered "preconcieved intent", unless you specifically indicated at your B1 interview that you would like to consider the option of adjusting status to F1 during your trip.

3. If you applied for a B1 at the interview and also mentioned the option of adjusting to an F1, the VO will also adjudicate your eligibility for an F1 visa at that time and note "prospective student" on your visa.

4. Remember, should your attempt to adjust to F1 in the US be turned down, your chances of getting an F1 or B1 visa in your home country diminishes since an attempt to circumvent immigration rules will already be noted on your record.

5. The opportunity to adjust from B1 to F1 was severely restricted after 9-11, so this is not a trivial matter.

6. As you may be aware when it comes to US law, "may" does not mean " you should".

Thanks.
You seem quite knowledgeable in this. In as much as having a valid b1/B2 visa increases chances of getting the F1, would it get cancelled if somehow, the F1 is denied. I've Heard of a few peeps that had their Valid visit visas cancelled when they applied for F1 and got denied. I don't have the details tho. Just the outcome.
In my opinion, visa applications are treated differently and one shouldn't affect the other
Could you please shed more light on this?
I understand the implications of not getting stamped into the country on an F1 visa, especially when one applies for OPT. My only concern is the cancellation of the B1/B2 of something goes wrong. Is it true ? I am not being pessimistic tho.
Just need answers.

Thanks

Lmaooo..some questions people ask here though..

Despite the fact that several people have stated here to you that the information in bold is wrong.... F1 denied does not cancel b1b2 .... , you are still repeating that statement again here ......so at what point would u believe then ? ?

OK man thanks.

If you're resuming at Tennessee tech this spring, feel free to contact me.
Cheers

kelvyn29:


OK man thanks.

If the person has overstayed on the b1b2 or broken the terms of that visa....then thats a different conversation and yes i can see the possibility of the b1b2 cancelled

If no terms have been broken f1 outcome should not affect exisiting b1b2 .

Live in New York. I'm in PA imperiouxx house, he's treating me well, such a nice man, with his beautiful wife with a beautiful heart. May God bless you both abundantly.

Hello, just checking to see that all is well. Glad you enjoyed your stay. This is imperiouxxx's wife.

mjksho:
Thanks for your kind response. Can you suggest schools?

Texas A&M college station competitive I think fees is less than $16k; LSU Competitive but fees around $16k per yr, Uni of Kansas but you will need WES evaluation here, check Oklahoma state too dont know the fees but they should have funding; generally check southern schools they have funding and fees are cheaper I think. You can check NMSU, Arkansas, North dakota too.

Hello
Please I need y all advices here. The problem is I graduated from High School In 2012. Started my undergraduate studies in 2013. I voluntarily withdrew from University in 2015 due to family emergency. I have applied to a school in the US and I have been accepted for Fall 2017. Please when asked what have you being doing since high school, is it advisable to bring up my previous undergraduate studies and say I withdrew due to family emergency or I shouldn't even bother to say anything regarding it. Looking forward to your thoughts
Thanks

Does anyone know if Cleveland state university fund incoming students?
Though I've asked before, I really didn't get a response I could work with. I'm about to put in my application and I'll like to know about their funding so I wouldn't regret the choice. And by the way, I have asked the grad coordinator about their funding but he was evasive.

Your best option is always to be truthful.
There is nothing wrong with your reason, and you should mention it.

Just make sure that your finances and ties to home are good and give them no reason to look further at you.

If the grad. cord was that should give you all the pointer you need. Otherwise connect with a student in your prospective department on Linkedin and get undiluted info. or contact professors you will like to work with, if they have RA positions to fund you.
