Hello

I have applied to few univs in the US and am waiting to hear from them. I also have a job offer in the US and my H1 application will be filed soon. Will having an H1 application hinder my F1 visa if I get into one of the universities?

Will applying for H1 alone be a concern for a reject on my student visa? I am planning to apply for visa based on university admission

Hi,
First and foremost you must make up your mind on what status you want to enter US. If you want apply for a H-1 visa make sure that you do not apply for F-1 visa simultaneously. If you want to enter US through F-1 visa I would not talk about the H-1 situation. Keep these two events mutually exclusive.When applying for student visa your case will be on a strong wicket if you get finacial support ( Teaching/Research assistant). Anyway whilw applying for F-1 or H-1 you need to show that you have strong ties back to your home country and plan to return home after finishing studies or completing a project. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for your response. I will not apply for both H1 and F1 visa. But I have already applied for H1 application. I am hoping to go only for F1 visa once I get admission from university. Will just having H1 application processed cause trouble during F1 visa interview? Do I need to mention that I have an H1 petition applied?
 
NO
