Hello,
I have a current situation. My F1 visa has expired and I am still studying and I will graduate in May 2014.
I am thinking of going to India to renew my F-1 Visa or "get a new F-1 visa" on the basis of doing masters.
My questions are:
1) I have not applied for OPT yet ? If I do apply before graduation and my OPT starts, then would I still be able to get a new f-1 visa
by showing that I am going to study as a masters student ? If yes, can I come back to US and not do my masters but instead go for OPT ?
2) If I will be changing universities when I go from bachelors to masters ? Will it be okay to go for VISA interview ? (Consider I didn't apply for OPT at all for this question)
3) I have transferred schools back and forth a little during my undergraduate career. Will that have any affect on my chances of getting a new F-1 Visa ?
4) I am planning to renew/ get new F-1 visa in the summer time ! How long would you suggest for the time frame ? I mean for how many days should I anticipate to get VISA process done ?
5) Can I apply for OPT before graduation ? Go to India to get F-1 Visa based on Masters admission and come back and work on OPT again ?
