Hi Friends,
I need a big help from you. Sorry for a lengthy post. Waiting for suggestions.
My employer had filed H1B VISA this year. I don't know the lottery results and even my employer will not reveal that till July. Even though selected in lottery, [b]I have no hopes that my employer will send me as there are bulk of applicants from my company.[/b]
[b]Going to US is my dream[/b]
So I planned to study MS in US. I got admission in 4 colleges for FALL 2014 which will start in August 2014
[b]Questions::[/b]
[b]If not selected in lottery:[/b]
Can I attend F1 interview in July?
Will Visa Officer(VO) know about by H1B application?
If VO knows, what is the best way to answer why did you applied both at a time?
Will VISA officer reject me straight away stating me as [b]potential immigrant[/b] saying you had applied for H1?
What we need to fill for the Question in DS 160 form for F1 Visa [b]"Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the point of entry?" [/b]
[b]If selected in lottery:[/b]
Still can I attend F1 interview in July?
Will Visa Officer(VO) know about by H1B application status(i.e. it was picked in lottery)?
Do I need to cancel the H1B process before trying to apply for F1 VISA? If so It's not in my hands. What to do?
If I can attend F1 Interview, what is the best way to answer VO why did you applied both at a time?
What we need to fill for the Question in DS 160 form for F1 Visa [b]"Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the point of entry?" [/b]
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
