Student Visa Processing -Updates
 06-MAY-2006
As the new school year approaches soon, the U.S. Department of State issued a cable to the visa posts on May 6, 2006 to give a guidance for smooth processing of the visa applications. For instance, it advises the visa posts that when it comes to the immigrant intent which is primary reason for denial of nonimmigrant visas including F-1 student visa, the officer should just consider "immediate and near-term intent" and not the remote or long term intent. Another guidance indicates that once the school has issued I-20, the officers should not question the students' academic ability to complete school or financial ability to pay the schooling or preference and choice of specific school. It also advises to operate the current 90-day window period of time for application for school before admission to the U.S. more flexible and in some instances, the consulate may accept applications before 90-day window.
