Aaaah gotcha. Yeah, no, that’s fraud. And the officers know about this plan because you haven’t been the first one to try it. Coming on an F1 visa with the intent to adjust is immigration fraud and you should absolutely refrain from doing it

Oh sad 😞.

So your employer is sponsoring your studies?

I have a letter to show am returning to put into work all the experience gained from the study trip in my job to make my services more efficient and better. 

Right.

 But you also have a K1 pending, which shows that you are wanting to migrate to the US. And the officer knows this.

And he knows that once you're in US, you're not coming back? Basically throwing their money down the drain?

 

Unfortunately, I see you're trying to use your employer to cut the K-1 queue, get a F-1 to get to US, AOS and then stay. 

 

Most stuff you can learn online. 

 

This plan isn't succeeding, Unfortunately.

I would tell them the truth of having a fiancé in the US who I miss smch, I wish to have my studies and also spend some time with her while my study is on going. After which I would return to my home country . This is what I feel I will tell them and if granted F1 visa, then I’d withdraw our K1 application and then go for AOS. Hearing is an immigration fraud makes me weak cos I don’t know what to do anymore

Makes sure you tell IO this exactly at your F-1 interview. 

 

What field if study is this?

Which defeats the purpose of a K1, and the officers know it. Sorry, but they’ve seen this movie a thousand times, especially from high fraud countries.

Why would you do this?

Yes I hope to apply for AOS after few months once granted the F1 visa, my employer isn’t aware I have a K1 application with the USCIS. 

Make sure to share this plan with the CO interviewing you for your F-1.

 

I am out.

This is a VERY BAD idea.

You are planning to lie to the US government AND your company... 

If your company is sponsoring your studies are you sure they won't ask for their money back if you decide not to return to Nigeria? MBAs can be VERY expensive. 

And how long have you known your fiance? 

If things go sideways... and you can no longer pay for your studies, you have to pay your company back AND you end up divorced... how will you pay everyone back when you lose your visa in the US and the trust of companies back in your home country?

I would not try to go forward with this plan. 

You are thinking of engaging in fraudulent behaviour with severe consequences. 

 

ETA: People are always trying to skip the waiting line at consulate by applying for tourist or student visas. I don't think you are getting the visa unless you really do cancel the k1, break up with your partner and only plan on studying in the US because you want to bring back valuable skills and knowledge to Nigeria.

All any of us can advise it that what you are planning is fraud, and not to do it. Stick with the K1.

You cannot enter the US via an F-1 with the intent to stay and adjust status.   That is visa fraud.
