F1 Visa Interview Experiences

F1 Visa Interview – Masters – Education is Sponsored by My Company

My visa interview was March 28th. My appointment was 7:30 AM.

Typically, for F1 students, the sponsor’s are parents, relatives, spouse, brothers, sisters and bank loan.

Sometimes, you could see the government sponsoring the students from Middle-Eastern countries.

But, this interview is different.

F1 visa applicant is sponsored by his company.

Could you imagine TCS or Infy sponsoring your degree in the US?

F1 Visa – Sponsored by Company

Me: Good morning Sir
VO: Good morning.

VO: Your passport.
Me: I gave him my passport and my I-20

    1. If you are selected for the F1 visa, then you B1B2 visa will be cancelled. one person cannot hold visa of different category (as far as I know). but if you are not issued with the F1 visa, then your B1 B2 visa will not be affected.

      But if you are issued with the F1 visa, then you must have to obey the F1 visa regulation.

  7. Hi even my company is sponsoring me for sttudies. Could you tell me what all documenys should I take from my compoany for the onterview. Also what should be written in the letter.
