F1 after green card expiry
Hi,
I want to apply for studying at a graduate course in a US school. I was in the US as a child and had received a green card along with my parents. However, I returned to India 12 years ago(never went back to the US) - the green card expired 3 years ago.
My question is - if I now apply for a F1 visa, will the fact that I used to hold a green card, cause a problem in getting the F1?
My sister (still a minor, living in India with family) is a US citizen by birth - can this fact also go against me getting an F1 visa?
Please help, as I need to know if I should even think of applying to US schools.
Thanks in advance.
