Are community college visa approval rate lower than a normal university?

[Anonymous1080P 2]

Hi, I intend to apply into a community college, it provides a 2 year associate degree which can be transferred into pathway program into a university where you can study for 2 more years and get a full bachelors degree, it's more cost efficient for me personally plus associate degree gives me hands on skills throughout those 2 years at college, but the main reason of going for community college is it's cost efficient studies..my question is if I tell this clearly to the VO would I face rejection? Like what is community colleges visa approval ratio?

Being able to explain this just as you explained it here is a good sign. I know many international students who received student visas to attend community colleges. Trying to save money is a very valid reason for this.

I'll try my bestest to explain the situation to VO I hope he gives me enough time to express everything, since English is not my first language and I'll be very nervous at the interview.

Good luck.

 

be more prepared to explain why you chose your choice of study and why you can’t do it in your home country, as well as ties to your home country that will convince the officer you will return after your studies are done. As long as the program is credentialed to issue i20s, the officers shouldn’t really care what school you go to.

as long as it is accredited college and can provide the I 20 

 

 

To apply for a Community College you usually have to submit the following:

1. The college's application form.
2. Their application fee.
3. Your high school diploma translated to English.
4. A copy of your passport.
5. Proof that you can finance your studies.
6. Proof that you have the required English level, for example a TOEFL or IELTS test.

most do not have residence on campus so, u also need to show proof u can afford to live (and the I 20 not mentioned )

and its a great idea to go in this direction as it does save a ton of money

study hard and apply for scholarships for the next step

Well I don't think the embassy might ask that since I'm from Pakistan and I'll be applying from UAE? Idk I think I'll have to ask them.
