Dream Big Dreams...

It does. At least my college's name appears on my F-1 visa as annotation.

I think this is most reasonable (IMHO, best) solution. You won't have trouble in changing the universities while in the USA. Why to take risk and go for visa interview again. (I guess, it can be a problem for you 'cuz India is the country with one of the highest procent in visa denial).

No big deal :) BTW, do you know that 90% of Californian women are sexually active (if you know what I mean ;) ) and 70% of those 90% are sexually attractive? Lucky you are :) Have a very good time in California!

Ummm. I guess, he is from India, Calcutta... Anita, where are you from? I thought Anita is Indian/Pakistanian name:rolleyes: . Correct me if I'm wrong...

Gotcha! That what I was asking you about. The sentence in the bold says that you should come to your college before September 6, 2005. You can not arrive at your school by that time for the reason you mentioned above, right?. At the port of entry immigration officer (DHS (formely INS) officer) will ask you a question why this date is expired. And this can be a problem for you, although not serious one. That is why you need to show him new I-20, not a new visa, with expected report date that is not expired. Easy as it is. :) If you have further questions, don't hesisate to ask. Dilshod Well, you know, I don't have any stamping of that kind on my I-20. Actually, only immigration official at the port of entry is allowed to put a stamp on your I-20 (there is a special space provided on your I-20). But the procedure may vary from country to country, from one consulate to another. I think we should wait for Anita's reply ('cuz she is also from India, maybe from Calcutta, I guess) or maybe reply from Calcuttian (?:)?) student who have/had similar situation.

It is never late to say a word of cogratulations :) . Thank you Bruno! I wish good luck to your sister in her application process. A word of advice. Even if Berea College does not require SAT I, I advise her to take the test and score higher than 1300, or at least 1200+. It will definitely increase her chances on admission. Dilshod

Sorry. My bad. I was reffering to item #5 :) . Can you tell me what does item #5 in your I-20 says? Thanks. Dilshod

That is the way to do. Thanks!

You go girl :) ! GSU ranked in top 20 for MBA program. The only thing I didn't understand is if you will live some months in Atlanta, then fly and live in Rio, then in Paris, and finally spend two weeks in China. Or some students will live in Atlanta and others live in Rio/Paris. And what is starting salary for GSU MBA Graduate?

+ Carleton College, Colgate University, Connecticut College, Davidson College, Earlham College, Haverford College, Lafayette College, Oberlin College, Reed College, Vassar College, Whitman College My college, Berea College, also gives full scholarships, but admission is very tough. They take one international student out of one hundred applicants. Every year they accept 30 students all around da world out of 3000 applicants who send their applications. Dilshod P.S. BTW, Wellesley College is private women's college (if I'm not mistaken, Hilary Clinton graduated form this college! Very prestigious school). Moongoddess, I encourage you to apply there, you will definitely boost you chances on admission with financial aid. Also check Smith College (alma mater of nancy Reagan), Scripps Collegeand and Mt. Holyoke College.

Don't worry, I will handle this one either :) Your visa stamp mentions the date your American visa expire! (September 2010). I-20 a.k.a. Certificate of Eligibility is a document which is sent to you by university. You took this document on your visa interview, didn't you? Now, take your I-20 and look at the item #7. What does it says? Write back :)

I am sorry to say that, but I think no VO deny visa for no reason. Try to analyze the situation once again and find your own explanations based on your visa exprience. Sometimes, there is an information that people don't want to disclose while filling visa application (DS forms), and that leads to visa denial. The only thing I suggest you [plural] to do when going to visa interview is to tell the whole truth about your relatives in the USA, immigrant visa petitions, your work history and many other things. Believe me, nowadays consulate's database has information on every applicant and the visa counsul knows almost eveything about the applicant he interviews. So, do not lie. Honesty is the best policy. :)

Very good post. But don't forget to give the link.

I think your chances to get into Jesuit colleges are very high (considering your profile). Check out Loyola University, Chicago. It's one of the best Jesuit colleges in the nation. BTW, why you are so interested in Jesuit colleges? :) :rolleyes: :hmm:

Got the point. ;)
