H4 to J1 - administrative processing
Hello Everyone,

My wife attended her visa interview on may 13th 2019 for J1 visa. She was previously dependent on me ( J2 till June 2018, H4 from june 2018 to now)
After she got her I-797 , she couldn’t get her H4 stamped and she went for J1 visa stamping interview directly. VO gave her 221g refusal form and put the visa on Administrative processing.
They took her passport / ds-2019. We haven’t heard anything from the visa consulate after that.
Do you have any suggestions about how to proceed from here on ? Any idea about the approximate duration for Admin Processing. Her residency start date is June 17th. So worried about it.

Thank you.

J1 REJECTION- DOCTOR
Hello,
I recently secured an Internal Medicine Residency position in the US and applied for a J1 visa. My interview was in Delhi on 14 May 2019 and it got rejected. I was handed the 214 B letter and the officer said I violated the B1B2 visa, which I did not. My intent fo my previous travels to the US was for observerships, residency interviews, and CS exam. Has anyone had a similar experience? She did not take any documents except the DS2019 and my passport. I was not given a chance to present any documents. All questions were only about my observerships and why I spent so much time in the US. I am applying again but what are my chances and how I prepare better for the next interview?

F2 Visa: CPT or OPT
Hi,

Is there is any the difference to get F2 Visa if F1 has CPT.

As reading so many experience (F1) CPT visa can be a main reason for rejections.

If F1(spouse) OPT VIsa then there is the chance to get F2 visa without rejection.

Please someone suggest or give your views on it.

Thanks

F1 Visa Administrative Processing
Hello,
Asking for a friend
I have a quick question on the visa administrative hold.

The case m talking about had an interview on 17Apr 2019. My status did not update yet.
So, any approvals for candidates in the month of april after clearing the admin hold, please tell me the wait time

Many F1 Visa's are being put on hold for further admin processing and the financials are collected accordingly.
Anyone who have got their visa's issued post the admin process?

Suggestion for Funds for F1 VISA Interview
I have a question regarding showing funds.

I have shown savings of parents and grandparents which is more than I20 amount. My parents (working) and grandparents(retired) are Government employees in India.

Now for my F1 visa interview for having fund of 1.5 times I20 amount I would like to use both loan and 75% of my family savings. Apart from these there are some properties like house whose evaluation worth I will keep as reference.

Is it okay or anything I need to change my financial plan ?
