F1 Visa question about sponsor and approval.

[WorkHard_ 0]

Hello everyone, I am planning to apply for F1 visa for bachelor's degree at a 4-year university in the United States.
I am 27 years old and I am a student in my home country and I receive support from my parents to study, my great uncle is an American citizen and very rich in the United States and will be my sponsor, as well as some friends who will also support me and also proposed to be a sponsor.
Is my situation favorable?
Can I have 2 sponsors? and how much does the financial situation of my sponsors influence the process?

In fact, I forgot to mention, I have a B2 Visa and it is still valid for another year, and two entries and exits in the US, never overstayed, is this a positive factor or does it not matter?

The matter of what's sufficient when it comes to finances is something that your future university will decide on - in the form of the DS-2019. After you get that form is when you can schedule your student visa appointment. 

Which embassy will you interview at?

I'm sorry -- this is not accurate at all.  The DS-2019 is not connected to an F-1 student visa -- it is for J-1 visas..  (Nor is the university the final decision maker as to the applicant's financial ability, but that's irrelevant for this poster).

 

OP:  You will receive an I-20 from the university that will show all the expected costs for a year of study. You must show all funds are  available for the first complete year of study, and clear documentation of the ability to fund the remaining years. It will be the Consular officer at the interview that decides whether your sponsors are credible and have the resources and actual willingness to fund your education. For example, it is unlikely that they will determine that friends are a credible source of funding and will, in fact, have the funds to pay for your education.

Thanks for your answer, financially I am 100% guaranteed by my sponsors, my only concern is to demonstrate strong ties with my country and not run the risk of having my F1 denied, given my conditions, I am 27 years old and have no assets and do not currently work, My family supports me financially so I can study here.

Unfortunately, a “100 % guarantee” from friends to help you may not be acceptable.

But my chances are good?
Never had a VISA denied, never overstayed, two admitions in the US as B2 holder.
My sponsor will be my great uncle and his financial conditions are very very very good!

You will need to show your sponsor's financial standing - their ability to sponsor you. Other than that your case looks promising to me.

It will entirely depend on whether you can convince them that you will comply by the terms of the nonimmigrant F-1 visa, and return home after your degree is completed.   If you’ve had family members come over as nonimmigrants and stay, that doesn’t bode well.
