Congratulations mam, your visa is approved

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 ?

My wife appeared for F2 visa interview on May 6th in Chennai

VO: Can I have both of your I20?
Wife hands over both the I20 forms.
VO: What is he studying there?
Wife: MBA
VO: Which university?
Wife: Arizona State University
VO: So how will you manage your expenses? Is your husband working there?
Wife: I have my savings, as well as my husband, has some saving and hands over both her and my bank statements. My husband also has a GA there.
VO: What is GA?
Wife: Graduate Assistantship
VO: Sorry, your visa has been rejected. And hands over the form stating denial under section 214(b).

Can anybody tell me or guide me what would have been the possible reason for denial?

Hi,

I got married in 2017 and moved to the US in F2 visa while my husband was on F1 Visa. My husband got job in an University (public) as assistant professor in Aug 2018. He's now on his F1- OPT. I've got admit for MSCS in his University itself for Fall 2019. I'm currently in India to get F1 Visa. Please clear the following queries.
 
1. What are my chances of getting my F1 Visa approved provided my husband works as a assistant professor? Will that mean that we are intended to stay and a possible reason for my F1 Visa to be rejected?
2. Has anyone faced a similar experience? If yes, please reply to this post.

Hi..
i m on my F1 visa but my F1 visa got expired on 26 December 2018. My OPT finished on Mar1st, 2019 and then I applied for another program in Community college.

Please advise me as soon As Possible please

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.
