Thanks in advance for reading through a very long email

I got admitted into UC for Executive Ph.D. in Information Technology for Spring 2019 term. I am currently on F1 visa. Before that I have admitted and completed into Keller Schoool of Mangement for MBA in Information Technology in 2015-2017. I have used my Masters OPT for 12 months and switch back to UC for Ph.D and staying F1 visa. I plant to go to india in August 2019 during my summer 2019 semester to get my F1 student visa interview. Before that I have done H1B stamping in the year 2014. After that, now only i am going to india to get stamping for F1 student visa. In my Ph.D. still I didn't apply for CPT.

Could you guys help me to get the visa interview in smooth way? If you guys have any experience please share to get my visa stamping.

Thank you in advance.

My wife has F-2 Visa Interview in Chennai on 6th May 2019. I'm doing my MBA from Arizona State University on F-1 Visa. I had sent her all the required document for her interview along with both of our I-20 and original marriage certificate through UPS. The documents are still in transit even after 1 month, so I sent her another set of I-20 issued by my university through one of my friend going to India. The problem is she doesn't have our original marriage certificate, she the only copy we had is still in transit. I have sent her the scanned copy and ask her to take a color print out. But if the VO doesn't accept that, how can we justify our case or what can we do in this situation? Somebody please advice me what can we do to convince the VO of our case?

Hello,

My wife had a visa interview on 22 April 2019. VO said an application is approved and you will receive a passport in 2 days. She gave her letter which says your passport will deliver to address you choose. It is not 221G.
But now https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx shows status as “Administrative Processing”. I don’t know what should I do. Does anyone have the same situation before for F2?

I came for visa stamping of H1b and had my interview on 1st April and I was handed over yellow slip stating some SEVIS history checking
and my status is Administrative processing since 1st April. I haven't heard anything back on it.
Is there anyone else who faced a similar situation. How long does it take and it there anything on my end i needed to do speed up the
process.

My husband is on F1 status and his cpt was expired on 23’rd December 2018. He already applied for opt. His graduation will be complete on May 2019. We got married on 15 November 2019. I have worked as an Assistant Professor in the university. I was pretty much confident but still had little nervous.

VO was a charming lady and responded well.

Me: Hello, Good Morning mam!! ( with a smile)

VO : ( smile) Good morning! Can I have your passport please?

Me: Yes, sure here it is
( She was looking at the monitor screen and continuously typing)

VO :Can I have yours and your husband’s I20?

Me: Handed the I20

VO: When did you guys first meet ?

Me : On a matrimonial site.It’s a kind of love to arrange marriage.

VO: What’s your marriage date ?

Me: 15 November 2018

Me: Around 800

VO: Can I see your marriage certificate and some pictures?

Me: Gave her all the proofs
( She smiles and said you both looking so nice together) I was feeling confident.

VO: What do you do in India ?

Me: I work as an Assistant professor in xxx university.
After few seconds...she smiled at me ..

VO: Congratulations, I’m approving your visa and you have a great married life.

Me: ( so much happy to hear that) Thank you so much mam..and you have a nice day.

This is all about my experience. I had prepared a lot for interview every type of expected and unexpected questions but the interview went so smooth. She didn’t ask anything about my husband.

So the only key to get the visa is Confidence and have faith in your self that you can do it. Always say the truth develop your body language. Prepare for interview in front of the mirror or wth someone.

Good luck ...😊

Hi,

Thanks in advance for reading through a very long email. :)

I got admitted into UCF for MS in Computer Science for Fall 2019 term. I'm currently on H4 visa. However, I plan to go to India in December 2019 i.e., after one semester to get my F1 student visa interview.

I have following questions in such regard.

1) Can I show the liquid amount equivalent to the i20 amount in my husband's account which is a checking account of a bank or should the amount be only in a savings account?
2) The bank account statement of how many months prior should be submitted to receive i20?
3) this is about F1 visa interview, can I show the exact funds in my husband's checking account which I have provided for I20 as financial support for funding my graduate studies? If yes in that case how many monthly statements of the account transactions i should provide ?

Thanks and Regards,
Aparna Siripurapu
