Hello Dear Forum mates!

I am going to apply for a 2 -month program (Business Ceriticate) and get F-1 visa. I am wondering wether it is possible to transfer to a language school just to improve my english and prepare for toefl. Can the officer deny the transfer and extention just because it was business certificate and now it is language school?

Also, Can be 2 months a very short duration and create problems to transfer?

Is the business program a ruse to get to the US to take english classes? Your english, based on your post, is pretty good

good luck

Yes, I intend to do this 2-month program (business) and then transfer to the english course. I don't understand why it is hard to answer my questions. I wrote it very clearly. And yes my English is good, but I need a high score TOEFL. I am asking again.....Is it possible to transfer or not?

A lot of people come to the US for 'courses' and forget to leave. From the surface it looks like you are trying to come the US and then finagle your way to an extension.

What ties do intend to show to demonstrate intent to return to Russia?

Do they not have suitable English classes in Russia?

Does this business certificate require you to read and write in English?

Is the English school one to issue an I20?

Why is the 'certificate' only 2 months?

All these questions require answering because if you cannot answer them here you likely won't be able to answer then during the interview

good luck

You will not get an F-1 for a two month business certifiate course -- F1s are for academic programs and this sounds like a vocational course, which would be an M1 visa. You cannot transfer from an M1 to an F1 (English course) without a approved change of status from USCIS. They would likely question how your English was good enough for one course and not good enough for another.

The business course issues I-20 for F-1 visa. Don't confuse people, okay! I don't need M-1, if you can't give advise, don't write it. I've already got my visa F-1 and will enjoy my trip! No we can't study english in russia.

Wow.

You don't bother to answers questions so people can figure out your situation and give you a good answer.

You demand an answer when there are unknown facts.

When you ask for help, you should be nice about it.

Good bye and good luck.
