Hello,
I have a bachelors and masters degree in Energy from my home country in Europe.
Recently, I am planning to change the direction of my career by getting an associate degree in Computer Science with focus in Web Development from a community college. I plan to use these skills to get a job in the developing IT industry back in my home country. I will file for change of status from J1 to F1 after my admission for Jan 2017 term.
Though, I am concerned whether having a bachelors and masters degree in an unrelated field will affect my application for change of status at all or not ?
Also, I will be sponsoring half of the cost from my personal saving and the other half will be done by a friend who is one H1B Visa. Hence, I was also wondering if having a sponsor who is one H1B visa affect my application or not ?
I will be glad if someone can share some information and provide some guidance in this regard.
Thanks.
