You're absolutely right, and this is exactly the reason why I am here. I would like to know if I might run into any problems with explaining to the officer why I am persuing a different visa with the same person after she being denied the F1.
What I did before was a mistake, and as you said a "naive choice". Hindsight is 20/20. I definitely should have researched and educated myself way more than I did in the past. While I wish I didnt do what ive done, what happened is done now though and I would like to move forward in a better way. So me coming here and posting is one step toward that goal.
Might you have any opinion or good advice on my concerns with having to explain about the F1 visa denial during an interview for a different visa?
I appreciate the posts from everyone telling me what I did before was not the correct way. I know its coming from a good place, I'm sure most people on this forum are speaking from a perspective of help. I am fully acknowledging my ignorant and unintentional misuse of the system no matter how small or big the extent was but I am coming here asking for answers about what problems I might expect now because of it, as the thread title states.
If anyone can put aside their disapproval of the way I did things before and offer an opinion of what to do now I am all ears and sincerely grateful because this situation is very significant to me.
I hope this thread might offer advice to others who might be in a similiar situation, and so far it has by showing very explicitly to not do as I have done. However, I would like to learn more about the problem that is at hand, anyone care to chime in about it?
