Is it possible to get F1 Visa for community college?

Yes you can. But, there’s a trick to that. I will explain that with two examples.

In this article, you can read two F1 Visa interview experience for Community College. Then, you can read why one student got F1 visa, and other got rejected.

F1 Visa for Community College – Rejected

I was denied my F1 visa
Here’s my background:

I am a high school graduate, and I was accepted into Foothill College (2-year transfer community college) in California. The Visa Officer, during my interview, asked me two questions about the college. Here’re the questions and answers:

1) How did you hear about Foothill?

The college was mentioned during a college spotlight at school by my college counsellor.

2) Why Foothill College?

The fees are comparatively more economical as compared to the other college I was accepted into(i.e., Florida Inst. Of Tech.). Another reason is that Foothill has an excellent transfer program to the University of California schools.

3) Do you have anybody in the U.S?

No.

After the third question, visa officer denied my visa stating that he found me to be a non-credible student and issued me the 214(b).


F1 Visa for Community College – Approved
Here’s another student who got his F1 Visa sharing his experience.

I have received five years F1 visa for a community college (Pierce College) in Los Angeles. Here’s how?

I applied in January, but I got rejected.

Reason. I could not convince the VO why I am selecting a community college over a university. They need a solid proof.

I applied again in July of the same year, and I got my visa.

I took the course curriculum with me telling them what’s the main reason for community college and what exactly am gonna do. Same classes at university were at community college but at four times the price of community college.

So, I explained the VO why should I pay more for same classes when I can cover them at much affordable price plus how flexible is a community college.

I got my visa and I am typing this sitting from LA. I did

Hello dear please when you went to interview for the community college did you pay for the SEVIS fee..I also sent you a DM please kindly respond

Good morning my good people. Please I need an urgent help from anyone who recently filled the Ds160. I have completed the form but only work history was asked. No information for education or training. So I don't know if it's the new style. I don't want to submit and later encounter problem at the embassy. Please help!!!
I just filled mine and there was no column for previous studies. It's just where you've worked/are working now and the degree you're going to the states for. So don't panic wink

Please does anyone here stay in New York? As I'll be having a 12 hour layover at JFK before the flight to STL. How does one survive a 12 hour layover at the airport? Anyone here staying in New York that can accommodate moi for a couple of hours? I would appreciate it. As I wouldn't want to stay at the airport for that long period. Thanks.

12 hours might seem long to stay put in the airport but it's too short to go back and forth. Asking questions on how to get to your destination, traffic is to be considered, unnecessary expenses you will accumulate and the stress moving your along with luggage.

My advice and some other persons will say this too, wait it out!

Yes. You should send an email to the embassy with details first, and then go in for another interview.

Please I want to confirm something o.

I received my i20 today and I already sent money to a friend to pay for my SEVIS fee of which I generated the coupon since last week. I hope the coupon is still valid?
Again, can I go again and fill the DS160 and pay for visa application while I wait for my friend to pay SEVIS fee?

You can use Naija account, sure. That is not a problem at all. You can hold your ds form until you have all the info you need to complete it, and then, you should keep the generated code number very well, as you would need it to continue later. Keep your security questions too. If you have other issue, write to me. I will be willing to help!

I ap8 thanks so much.

Did you go through the guy transcript? He answered his questions right. And even if he makes little mistakes it's not enough to be denied that easily with such a good profile.

NOTICE TO STUDENT VISA HOLDERS:
As at last night, @ Georgia Atlanta, a student visa holder (a Nigerian and cousin to my friend's friend) was turned back home after his visa was cancelled. The reason is that he did not leave Nigeria at the date stated on his I-20 that he should resume. He had waited more more months; that is, he should have left few months back. So when he got to the port of entry, he was sent back.

I am not saying this to put fear in anybody here, but pay attention and make sure you get your ticket in time. You have your visa already, and so you have no business waiting in Nigeria --EXCEPT your school resumption date is still more than 30 days. Please be warned! I wish all of you safe journey.

I advice all of you to leave latest 5 days before your school resumption, and make sure it is less than a month before your resumption. If you come in when it is still more than a month before your resumption date, forget it, you will be sent back live and you will need to buy another ticket. Be warned! And more importantly, AVOID LAX--Los Angelis International Airport, except you are going to that area. People are having issue with immigration at this port of entry! This information is coming directly from Texas, US.
Emmanuel.
