Associate Degree F1 visa

[Raphmadu 0]

Greetings to everybody, I'm a LPR and VisaJourney mates helped me through my visa process. I want to bring a brother to come here and study. My question is, is getting an F1 visa easy for an Associate degree or must it be a Bachelors degree? Most colleges here in Louisiana are 2yrs. I would need every opinion I can get and your opinion is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I would be worried more about providing evidence that your brother will return to his country after studying. The student visa is issued with the assumption that he will depart the US after his studies. He has to provide "strong ties" to his country. You should research what the requirements are for your country, especially if it is a high fraud country.

Provide proof of "Strong Ties"

- property that the family owns

- family bank statements

- Family in his country

- Martial status

- Children

- Etc.

Thanks for responding, we've got all of that back home. My question exactly is do the embassy really issue F1 visa on a 2yr program or it must be a 4yr program.

As long as the school meets the requirements, a 2 year school should be fine.

The first step for a prospective nonimmigrant student is being accepted for enrollment in an established school which is SEVP certified. In general, for academic students attending a university, college, high school, private elementary school, seminary, conservatory or other academic institutions, including a language training program, an F visa is the appropriate category.

My F1 visa was issued for a two year school with no problems. They just have to be part of the SEVIS program.

Even if you have all these if your brother is between age of 16-25 single male puts him in a unspoken category where rejection rate is higher.

So you might want to check on that, CO would want to know what are the good reason that your brother would return back to home country.

You do understand that no one is looking at this thread anymore since it is buried deep into the forum - until you write on it and it gets bumped back up?

I'm sure a Mod can delete it - but there really doesn't seem to be anything suspicious or "incriminating" about this thread.
