How would i overcome such rejection please help me

I have been assigned an administrative processing in South Korean embassy, with a white slip and passport returned, and was asked to mail some documents. How long does the process takes in this country, any experience?

Greeting people,

While filing for my OPT(I-765) I missed the step where I had to receive OPT I-20 from college, and instead, I applied with program completion I-20 which was given to me along with my I-765 form.

I sent my packet with all the documents except I did not have OPT I-20. I did not know about this mistake until I got my OPT denial letter, which was exactly a day before my 60 days grace period after the program end date. Now my college refuses to apply for a new I-20 as my SEVIS status is now in completed status and they are not ready to provide me with a letter of support to file reinstatement.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue or can someone please help me through this?

I have completed my masters in Manufacturing engineering from CSU, in 2014-2015, I have worked in my opt from 2015-2018, then I have enrolled in Cumberland and have worked for 1 year from 2018 to 2019, in 2019 I came back to India, now I am trying to apply for a Ph.D. what do you think my chances of getting a visa at visa consulate

Well, my wife’s F4 visa application was filed a few years ago by her sister (a US citizen). In a couple of years, her ‘priority date’ will be ‘current’.
 
Spouse is keen to study from US now. Sharing prevailing general perception that in such case when an F4 visa beneficiary attempt to enter in the US either on a visit or F1 visa the local embassy resist sanctioning the visa request. Embassy believes that the F4 beneficiary might not return to his/her motherland. This caveat (that US embassy will reject her study visa due to the above-mentioned scenario) concerns us the most.

Eager to know whether this is true that she can’t enter US before USCIS release her F4 visa or otherwise?

Additional Query: As her dependent of this F4 beneficiary, can I apply for education in US on F1 visa pls? Will this be a wise decision to apply for spouse an F2 visa (assuming that she can’t get F1 visa on her own).

Keen to hear soon.

Hello all,
 
I am sharing my visa experience with you here. Could you help me what is the better visa to apply in my case.
My husband is in USA with Day1 CPT. I applied for F2 thrice and got rejected with 214(b). I am planning to apply for F1 for fall 2020 intake.
What are the chances of getting my F1 visa approved this time? Kindly suggest.

Thank you in advance.
