No, they need to get a new visa with the correct school name listed. 

But couldn't they just enter on school A's visa and I-20 and then ask them to transfer their SEVIS record to school B? Rather than getting a new visa for school B before travelling?

Hi there,

super random question but, if an F1 student has received their Visa for a specific school but also got an I-20 for another school, are they able to enter the country on school A visa with school B I-20? Or would they have to do an initial transfer after arriving?

Sorry to hear you had a horrible experience!  What was the outcome at the end?  I do hope you receive good news.

It was so awful…

She gave us a letter saying that they will contact us if they need anything else and we have to wait up to 120 days for a decision. 

I just don’t understand…we have such a straightforward case, still married, sharing financials, are on each other’s insurances etc she couldn’t have cared less. 

I had my interview yesterday in St. Louis and it was absolutely horrible. 

Lasted approximately 8 minutes,I had a gazillion of documents that she asked for but did not look at. She asked us 0 questions about our marriage or relationship,referred to my husband’s daughter as “IT” and was very hung up on why I left the country when my J1 visa was expired in 2015/2016. I am utterly confused and sad and guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens next. 😢

Soooo my status changed to “interview was scheduled” on December 8

On December 20th I received a letter from USCIS with a new, 24 month extension notice but nothing about an interview.

The weird thing is…the date on that extension is 12/14…so 5 days after an apparent interview was scheduled.

I tried calling USCIS but was unable to get through…assuming it’s because of the holidays…

This is really frustrating…did they really schedule an interview or did they just accidentally update it when they sent out that extension?! Who knows.

Any thoughts/ ideas are appreciated 

Apparently  my interview was scheduled the beginning of december, however I have not received my letter in the mail yet. 

Any suggestions on how long to wait? I know it’s before the holidays but I don’t want to miss anything because of not receiving the letter

same....Arrgghh !!!

UGH so frustrating 

Question…how long after Biometrics appointment did the case status change?

It’s been 3 weeks and nothing…of course lol

hi everyone!

Entered back in 2018 on a CR1 visa and filed my I751 with receipt notice 10/15/2020..edit: it went directly to MSC

Had my biometrics appointment on 7/16/2021

case status has not changed on the website yet and while I was a bit surprised that the biometrics appointment was „this fast“ I am mad at the same time that this all still takes sooo long 🙄😂

Today has been a good day. I got my letter for my biometrics appointment AND a new vacuum cleaner. Now Austria only has to beat Italy in the Euro cup and the day would be pretty much perfect haha

UGH. I know I should be used to this waiting thing and I expected it too but I am just too impatient for this #######. 

And the worst thing…everything went to MSC and it will just take foreeeeeevvvvveeeerrr. Haven‘t even received anything for Biometrics yet and I just know it will still be a while. It‘s alright tho, not too much is changing for me but stilly. aaanyway.  Sorry. Rant over. haha

We just survived an almost 24 hour long power outage on the hottest day of this year yet in St.Louis. I am exhausted. But more so devastated about all the food we had to throw out! What a waste! 

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend

We made it home. And the „breezy“ drive home today was NOT it. The husband had major vertigo and motion sickness and was puking for what felt like  our entire way home. 

I need a vacation from all this. Let‘s see if work will be okay and the kiddos nice to me.

Ouch.  I was down in the Keys last weekend.  We have a house on Big Pine Key, not far from Key West.  We are there every three or four weeks.  Will be there with a LOT of friends for the 4th of July.  

 

Hope you had fun.

Oh I wish I would have known that before. I’m sure you could have given me an honest insider tip on why key west beaches suck and/or where to find a really pretty place of sand and water (if any) but I guess it’s too late haha

We had a great time there tho and we’ll go again! Lucky you having a house around there, enjoy it!! ☺️

On our way back home. KeyWest-St.Louis 20.5 hour drive. We anticipated to maybe making it to Atlanta and surpassed all our expectations. I should win an award for best long distance driver or something 

Tomorrow’s gonna be a quick ride and I can’t wait to see the kittens again. I’m sure they will be insanely mad at us, as it’s the first time leaving them (my friends took care of them) BUT STILL 😂

I learned: Roadtrips are fun. but I ain’t going from St.Louis to Key West with the car again!

I’m so sorry T-B.! Hope the situation is getting better! Many hugs to you and also mini B!

Roadtrip is starting in less than 24 hours and I am so excite!!!!

Many Many Moons ago I shared many many important off topic things with you. that was until life got in the way and this forum had to suffer and be without me. 

Aaaaaaaaanyway…the Queen of Austria is back. Lots of things happened…but where to start?! 

Most importantly…The husband and the queen are still married and barely ever want to rip each other‘s heads off, we made it through COVID and are FINALLY going on vacation on wednesday. 

What did I miss, catch me up.

Apparently now all I751 applications require to have an interview. However they have an interview waiver if certain conditions are met, like had been interviewed for AOS in the US.
Most CR1 are routed directly to MSC to have their cases ready for interview at local offices. 
Basically they want every couple to be interviewed by USCIS either for AOS or ROC.

Oh, I see what you mean! 

Yeah I get that, and that‘s totally fine but they could just hurry up. It‘s not like I live in a super busy, popular area for immigrants LOL

Thank you for comforting words.

May I ask When did you apply ? And do you see any update if you have not received your card already ?

I sent it early october and got my extension letter in november (dated 10/15/2020) 

I have not heard anything ever since, no!

On 3/3/2021 at 4:55 PM, Ecaen87 said:

Normally cases sent to MSC from the beginning are sent there to get them ready for interview. Those who haven’t been interviewed together in the US by USCIS, like CR1 are sent to local offices for interview.

Can you explain that again please? 

I got my CR1 in my homecountry and my husband was there with me, though not interviewed.

MSC means, its not straight forward, needs review. SRC is simple straight forward, no issues cases.

 

MSC always gonna take its standard time.

I would not say no issue cases. At least I personally would not consider my case having any issues.(hve been married for 4 years now, sent enough proof,bought house together etc)..and yet it got sent to MSC

i believe sometimes it’s pure luck/unluck 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did you submit it to Arizona? I just woke up but no surprises 😂  Thank you❤️

Yes we sent it thru FedEx to the Arizona address!

Good luck, i hope you will get a text soon!  🥰

As mentioned above, I finally got my receipt number and UGH it starts with MSC 🙄

Not that I mind but in current times I could do very well without that probable interview 🙄😂
