F-1 Student Visa for Language School (Having a Friend in the USA)

[nsc 2]

Hello everyone, 

I wanna ask something for my friend. 

My friend has applied to a language school in NYC and she has an appointment this week. I'm a green card holder, married to a USC and living in the USA almost a year now. I'm living in California. So, here's the thing; I paid my friend's passport delivery service online and on the receipt, it's my name and American home address. We are kinda freaking out because her agency that she's doing the visa process through said that having a friend in the US is an absolute denial. Is that true? I mean, I'm aware that no one can answer that 100% but what are the changes? Again, it's just the passport delivery service, nothing else. But her agency is insist to put my name on her DS-160 as "US Contacts". Neither I or my husband is sponsoring her. She's working in Turkey as an HR specialist and want to learn English to move up in her career. 

Sorry for the mixed-up story; I wanted to learn if it makes a difference for me to pay the passport delivery fee and having my name on the receipt? And do they check that document at all?

Thank you. All answers are appreciated.

Why is she using an Agency, when I see Agency I get worried.

 

Presumably she is showing she has the funds to cover her tuition and living costs, that is the big thing, how would the passport delivery service receipt ever come up?

Well, she wanted everything easy because she doesn't know how to do things. My husband and I were going to help her with the whole process because we did our I-130 by ourselves without any RFE or setback but she wanted to go with an agency.. Anyway, yeah she does show funds to cover everything. And you know, after your interview the embassy would send your passport back. So if you want it to an address that you choose, you have to pay the delivery fee (I'm sure you guys know what it is, just being more clear). So I paid that fee and my name shows up on the receipt. She asked about to the agency if it's okay and they said it might have get her a denial. Do you have any info about it that the embassy would make it an issue?

This a simple Student Visa application, Immigrating is very different.

Yes it is. I meant, we did the complexed immigration process by ourselves so we could help her with the simple student visa as well. Sorry about the confusion there. 

 

I am just wondering if the embassy would even look at that insignificant receipt. That's all.

They very likely will not, but they will wonder why she wants to go to a language school in the US to improve her English. There are many other (online) resources available for that. 
 

An F1 is a non-immigrant visa, so the interviewing officer will want to see evidence that she will actually leave the US after her studies, so they will be interested to see how strong her ties to her home country are. What will prevent her from trying to adjust her status once in the US?

She does aware of those and hopefully she’ll do a good job at explaining them. She took an English course in person in Turkey as well but couldn’t learn English well. So that’s why she wants to go to a native English speaker country to study. 
Thank you for the answer. Hoping for her the best.
