When you interview for your visa, it looks like you have picked right college.

As soon as you get the States, you change in institution, it is not good in USCIS perspective.

It is not only that, but it also takes sometime (at least a month), if you miss one semester, you will find it not pleasant.

IMHO, go to your original college for at least one semester and change college a few month in advance.

Good luck.

This has shed more light. Thanks a lot Nancy. I will take my time, to wait for the right school.

Trust me, don't do that. It is not wise later.

Thanks Nancy for the advice. But, can you please expatiate more on the likely complications or reasons.

Thank you once again.

Are they of equal standing, same fees etc?

No. The new school is better rated and more expensive.

Hello,

What would you advise in a related case of Switching from one I-20 sponsor to another I-20 sponsor when you have been given visa, arrived in the US but haven't done registration with the first school.

The change of school is just based on the fact that you prefer the other school after careful consideration.

Thank you.

No. The person needs to be accepted at a qualified school. The school must issue an I-20 before the person can apply to change status.

Thanks Aaron2020..

After securing I-20 and other relevant documents, can this visa status change be done in the US or it has to be done at the home country?

Hi,

2. Yes it can be a problem. One of these two passports was obtained using a document with a false birthdate. It may show that you are willing to use documents with false information. This may put your credibility on the line. If you are willing to obtain a passport with false information, then are you likely to obtain a student visa with documents containing false information.

3. Will not matter as long as you can show the money is yours.

4. The amount will be up to the CO at your interview. You must have enough to cover the I-20 requirements.

How do you mean show that the money is yours? Does it have a thing to do with how long the money has been in your account. In a case where your sponsor is willing to transfer the money into your account.

What advise do you have in this case?

Can a spouse on F-2 visa convert it to F-1 on arrival to US, if she also wants to study but admission is not ready yet and spouse on F1 is resuming in June?
