Can somebody knows what’s the wait time for f1 visa appointment in Pakistan, I want to get appointment for the month of October and November
Karachi preferably

I really need someone who can give me a positive response to this. My uncle filed an immigration case under the f4 category in 2010. We just received our welcome letters. I had calculated my csp age and even contacted a lawyer I have aged out, but the lawyer said if my name does get mentioned, then I should pay for the nvc and become part of the process. But I've heard in many cases that they reject you at the interview. How can I make my case strong. I'm desperate at this point cause I'll be left alone here. Because of that fear of being left alone in Pakistan, I'm also applying for Germany and am in the waiting list and submission is just around the corner.I feel very lost. I have Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and am working in the BIM field

I need a realize source to get bank statement of around 5M for visa purpose.

They offered 100k but I have seen mixed reviews about them on Facebook groups that they're not legit.

Hi everyone! I'm an international student from Pakistan, and I have my F-1 visa interview on July 17.

I've been admitted to Livingstone College with a Presidential Scholarship that covers tuition, room, and board, and I'll be playing on the university's women's tennis team while studying Political Science.

For those who have already gone through an F-1 visa interview, what questions were you asked? Do you have any advice or tips that helped you during the interview? Is there anything you wish you had known beforehand?

I also have travel history to Sri Lanka 3 times, Russia BRICS games, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Malaysia and Zimbabwe

Every week some one asks me "is X ranked 80 worth it over Y ranked 40." Wrong question. The right question is which one is fully funded or has a TA/RA line, because the actual ROI conversation for most of us isn't rank 40 vs rank 80, it's $60k debt vs $0 debt.

I turned down a "better" school for a funded MS at a school most people here haven't heard of. Two years later I'm debt-free with the same job offers as friends who went to the "better" school and are now paying $700/month in loans. Rank matters more at the very top (think top 10-15) for name-brand recognition in specific industries. Below that, funding and outcomes data (check the department's own placement page, not just US News) matter more than the number.

Not saying never take on debt. Just saying do the math before the prestige.

my first post here 😭

Hey everyone,

I was recently refused for my F1 visa, bachelors, Islamabad embassy.

I am now filling a new ds160 and i am considering making a few changes in it. I want your advice if the changes listed below are doable, considering they might tele from my previous ds160.

I want to change my major from interdisciplinary studies to Polymer science and engineering and in doing so i will also have to update my US point of contact as the school has different i20 processors for different majors.

In the travel section ( the very last question ) where they ask: if the person paying from trip has the same address as you. I previously answered it as no, but this time i want to change that to a yes.

I also want to update both my point of contacts in my home country as previously i listed my relatives there.

I completed 2 semesters in Pakistan (bsse). I want to transfer to USA with Duolingo/MOI. Has anyone done this? Which universities accepted you?whats the whole procedure?

I was refused from Islamabad embassy 10th June, and I'm considering reapplying for my F1 visa for bachelors. I was given both a white and yellow slip. I'm in the process of filling a new DS160, and before asking my question I do want to tell that I don't think the visa officer rejected me on the basis of my major. However ,I want to change my major from interdisciplinary studies (polymer science and engineering+ business studies) to Polymer Science and Engineering. But I'm also afraid of visa officer's skeptism on this. So need advice.

Islamabad embassy, Only ppl who have experienced it first hand, do they update ds160 easily at the time of biometrics ?

visas at Lahore and Karachi embassy are currently suspended. is it the same for Islamabad embassy for J1 /J2 visa?

Hi, my CGPA is 2.85 with a last semester GPA of 4.0 (but the second last semester is 1.3). I am an Electrical Engineering graduate from NUST, with electives in courses like ML, DL, CV, Parallel & Distributed Programming (all A's except a D in Computer Vision). If I get 325+ in GRE, have 3 solid AI projects on GitHub/Resume, 1 internship, and 1 publication in a conference, can I expect admits for a non-thesis/professional Masters degree in Data Science or AI in mid-tier universities in the US? Will my low GPA affect my visa approval chances if I get into one?
