Hi

I am a prospective student ( International) and intend to apply for the Fall 2004 batch to the MBA program. I am currently on an F2 visa which will get converted to an H4 visa in the next 2 months. I have a few questions with regards to the visa requirements for the program.

In due course of time and if I do get admitted
1) Do I have to convert to an F1 visa status to seek admissions?
2) Am I eligible to apply for the program on an H4 status?
3) Would I be required to go back to my country of Origin to get the visa?

Thanks
Roshni

Hi Roshni,

You CAN indeed get an admission on H4 VISA. The only issue is you wont be able to support yourself on H4, ie, you cant get any kind of assistantship or on-campus job as H4 VISA doesn't give you work permit. While on F1 you can do 20 hour/ week jobs or take up an asstship. I dont have any ideas about where you should get your VISA stamped though. Rules have changed (and are changing) almost every month these days and since I am not in that field, I completely lost touch with it. Probably http://www.immihelp.com can be of some help to u

HTH
Sri.
