Hello everyone !

 

I am currently in US on B1/B2 visa. This is my first stay on tourist visa. I got 6 months stay and I am going to go back to my country next month. I have graduated with associate degree in 2021 and I completed one year of OPT. After that I returned to my home country. I came to US at the beginning of June this year and I have been visiting my friends and travelling around. I got accepted to a University for a bachelor degreee program. I will be returning to my home country on November 18th (my stay is until November 25th) and after that I am going to go and apply for a student visa to come in January and start school. My question is if someone was applying second time for a student visa. Do I have some chances of obtaining student visa after being in US for 5 months (not overstaying and always maintaining my status). I know those questions may sound weird but I was wondering if someone was in a similar situation.  I will appreciate any comments

A lot will depend on if the Degree makes sense

I got 2 student visas in a row 10 years ago. First, I did a university prep program with an F1, and then a bachelor's degree program with a other F1. I know a lot of students who extend (might not be the correct term) their student visa by doing a master or doctorate after their bachelor's degree but most of them stay in the U.S. during the winter or summer break between the two programs.
