F1 Visa Stamping

Hi,

I am in a similar situation right now like the one you were in. I was on H1B and I have changed my status from H1B to F1. I have joined my university as a full-time student and now I need to get F1 visa stamping. I would like to know few things about F1 stamping.

• Should I go to Canada or Mexico? Which one would be quick and easy?
• Does the processing time differ from one US Consulate to other? Is there any particular US Consulate/Embassy in Canada or Mexico that I should be going to so the process is quick and easy for me?
• What documents do I need to provide to the US Consulate? Do the document requirements differ from one US Consulate to the other?
• How much time the visa stamping process would take?
• Since my status has already been changed are there still any chances of rejections? If yes, then what are my options?
• How sooner do I need to take appointment with the US Consulate? How much is the waiting period?

Your feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Ankit Patel.

Hello

I have a similar problem. I plan to change my visa status from H4 to F1 . I wanted to go to Mexico for that.
If anyone has gone to Mexican consulate , please Let me know your experiences
Which one do you think is a better option .Going to India or Canada /Mexico?
In case of rejection of my F1 , Can i come back to US on my H4 (H4 is valid till 2008)?
Also , do we have to submit the I-539 form for change of status?or only Ds-156,DS-157, DS-158?

Your reply is needed urgently , and will be greatly appreciated.
