F1 Stamping

If anybody here could give me an advice, I would greatly appreciate as I have been very nervous for many months now. I came here to the U.S on a B2 (tourist) visa and I changed my status to F1. I never had the "prospective student" annotation on my I-94 and I got my COS anyway. (For those of you that say that only people with "prospective student" annotation can get a COS--that is not true!)
Anyhow I have been attending a community college here and I'm about halfway done with my course. I would like to go back to my home country (Brazil) to apply for visa stamping there. I'm very nervous because I know there is always a chance that it may be denied. I think I have some positive things going for me: I'm in my eary twenties my father has been paying for my education here, I have no relatives whatsoever in America and no immigration petition of any kind. I am a high honors student who is showing progress towards achieving my degree. What are my chances of actually getting the visa? Would it be too difficult? My concern is: I'm already 50% done with this course and my father has already shed thousands of dollars towards my education. If the visa were denied the whole money effort and hardwork during my studies here would literally go to waste. I'm nervous. Any advice? Thank you
 
how long for COS B2-J1

How long does it takes to get Change of status approved B2 to F1 ?




Please tell me, thanks
 
I have a different Question maybe gels with the same name for this thread

* Have converted from H4 to F1,
* I20 valid till May'2008
* Planning to graduate in May'2007
* Will be applying for my OPT next week (3rd Week of March'2007)

Can i go to Mexico or Canada for my Visa stamping?
Will i be questioned as to why i need my F1 stamping?
Is there a chance that i might get rejected? I would guess "Yes"
 
B1/B2 to F1

If I were you I would wait till I graduate and go to my country then.
With your diploma in hand and a transfer I-20 you will have a strong case at the consulate.
but again it all depends on how tough visa issuance is in the part of brazil you live. so do your homework, and don't rush....
