Is Harry Suing the UK to Hide Truth of Visa and Security?

Let’s talk about a few things going on in the Royal News World, Shall We?

This mouse isn’t completely sure of coming back entirely, but I figured a post here and there would be fine. Let’s get started.

My people come bearing some insights: Just about everyone in the aristocracy is openly aware that Harry isn’t truly cut off. As a matter of fact, some believe that Harry is only in the US because Charles sent him here and he is in fact on an A1 visa. Not so much as a banishment, but as a way to play both sides of the media circus and keep them all relevant. The whole world tunes in every time something pops up.

What brings more clickbait? Ask yourself the hard questions, though, don’t take the easy route. I’ve seen some things going around, and I see people truly never ask the hard questions.

I pray for the day when everyone wakes up and realizes that being elderly doesn’t make you harmless or innocent. This author was told the same things about Harry not being told about the diagnosis for the cancer until we all heard, BUT BEFORE. Interesting that ever got leaked out in the press, isn’t it? Why even tell us when he got told? Harry probably leaked it and did it to make Charles look favorable. Do you think Charles would let it get leaked? To what end? To look like the loving, yet firm father everyone demands him to be, the man that he cannot. The man he is not.

And now there are articles coming out about the contingency plans for Charles being sick. Harry is not in them, at all. Why would he need to be? Doesn’t that say a lot? The fact people have to be told Harry isn't included is silly. But you know what they say about assumptions.

Now, I was told by a friend that’s a doctor the whole story of the cancer being found during the prostate stuff made no sense. They would’ve seen other indicators beforehand. They ARE the greatest medical professionals on the planet, aren’t they? You mean a PET scan or blood test or anything like that, at all, wouldn’t hint at the other problems? This was a choreographed release of information.

It's being suggested that the press will be informed to release a cascade of tidbits over the coming weeks. Lady C said early spring, before summer. She also said it was Princess Anne who made the “racist baby” comments, and that was also a ruse. I’m pretty sure Lady C picked Team Charles back in the 80s, and she’s been working to gain grace and favor since. I think she wants to seem like she knows things to sell books or views. Go, girl, get that paper.

Speaking of paper, it was suggested one of the main reasons Charles was so upset with Harry when he “rushed right over” was because he asked for more money. Anyone could assume that but think about what he did immediately afterwards. He went over there only to have something to give an interview for. He got paid to “not squeal” on an interview. The Sussexes don’t lift a finger for free… they only lift them for freebies. Or money.

If Harry is here on an A1 Visa as a favor between Charles and the US, that means we are paying for that security in America. No wonder Harry is suing the UK, he needs to make it look like he needs something when he already has it. How would they possibly have the money to pay for their own? I posted the mortgage documents, remember. Do the math. They have 10 years to pay that house off in full before they get a 7.48% interest rate. They have upkeep, services, servants, nannies, clothes, utilities, maintenance that must be maintained or the bank could come in and do it themselves… Those things aren’t cheap. You have to have a faucet of money coming in to handle it all. They don’t even have a drip.

Oh, and I was told to really look at Harry’s page on the Royal website. And that the minute Wills gets that crown, his brother will be done for. Which is why Charles could be trying to be a father instead of a king in that situation. Then again, if Wills had hard feelings for both Charles and Harry, and Charles had a jealousy over Wills and the Queen… that’s a lot of ifs

One this is for sure. Harry will NEVER return to the BRF in a working capacity. Everything is a dance of smoke and mirrors.

It makes total sense to have Harry here on an A1 visa, have him in constant litigation with the UK so we peons think he needs security, but in reality he is here on a visa supplying him the protection he thinks he deserves. Of course, an FOIA would need to be filed, probably… I wonder if I could do that and see how he is really here. I don’t believe he is here on an O1 or spousal visa.

What is the real reason for all of this, people? It's just Flying Pasta, like before.

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

I’m confused. Why would he get deported? He’s married to (presumably) a US citizen already. Not sure if I missed something?

Well, the simplest explanation is that everyone who immigrates/emigrates to the US has to fill out paperwork to stay here. Doesn't matter who you are, who your family is, who you're married to, where you're from, what money you have. Everyone fills out the paperwork.

Being married to a US citizen only affects the type of visa (Spouse of US Citizen) you get and which application (Form I-130, the Petition for Alien Relative) your sponsor fills out to start the process.

The longer/more detailed explanation of the process, and the background for the lawsuit about Harry's visa application, is this:

(Apologies for how small the text is. I didn't want it to be a multi-page thing.) I'll describe it below the jump.

But essentially, Harry's process to become a legal permanent resident through his marriage to a US citizen is:

Sponsor/Meghan submits Form I-130 to the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), requesting approval to bring her spouse to live with her in the US.

USCIS reviews the form and will approve (left green circle) or deny (left red circle) the application. If they deny it, that ends the process. They can try again later. If they approve it, then:

Sponsor/Meghan pays a bunch of fees and a visa case is opened.

(The big giant square text) More paperwork and documents are submitted. Meghan and Harry do this together. (I'll explain this in a bit.)

The Spouse/Harry has his immigration interview.

USCIS will review the visa case file and make a decision on whether to approve or deny the visa request. If they deny the visa, then depending on the justification for denial, the Spouse/Harry may request a waiver or he can submit additional documentation for further consideration. If the visa is approved, then the Spouse/Harry is given approval to travel to the US and once he's here, he gets permanent residency - aka "the green card."

Now, getting back to the giant text block and the "more paperwork" requirement. In this phase of the process for a spousal visa, the couple must provide:

An affadavit of support from the Sponsor/Meghan (this basically says that she has enough income to support Harry and they won't need government assistance)

Supporting financial documents (probably tax declarations)

Harry's passport

Additional photographs of Harry

Form DS-260, the Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application from Harry (this is Harry's application for residency)

Harry's birth certificate

Their marriage certificate

Harry's military records (the US requires anyone with military service in any country to submit)

Harry's police certificate (information about whether he has been arrested or charged with crimes/what kinds)

Harry's Medical Examination form (which sometimes is done after the interview)

Form DS-260 is the big one. It basically asks the immigrant (Harry, in this case) about everything in his life: his childhood, his work history, his social media accounts, where he's lived, his family of origin, his children, previous travel to the US, medical and health details (including history of substance abuse. communicable diseases, and vaccination record), criminal history, security and background details, and social security.

If you're found to have lied about anything on this form - for instance, something pops on the background check that isn't disclosed or your answers in the interview are inconsistent with what's reported on the form or your social media tells a totally different story - it's grounds for your application to be denied and, if you're already here in the US, you to be deported.

This is what the DHS/Homeland Security lawsuit is about. The DS-260 has a question about drug use. The Heritage Foundation (the plaintiff in the case) is suing DHS to find out what Harry reported about his drug use on the form and in his medical history because historically, the US does not allow people with drug addictions or past drug use into the country. After Harry's admissions in Spare that he's basically a functioning addict, the Heritage Foundation assumed that Harry said "no" on the drug use question (which would be a lie) and they want to find out if he was given special treatment because of being Queen Elizabeth's grandson. (I also suspect the Heritage Foundation wants to find out if Harry has a regular passport or is traveling/living in the US on a diplomatic passport as well.)

So going back to your original question, yes, Harry can still be deported even if he is the spouse of a US citizen and even if he is a permanent resident. All the marriage to a US citizen means is what forms get filled out and what supporting documentation is submitted. That's all; there aren't any other protections involved in being married to a US citizen.

But there is a benefit to immigrating via a "green card marriage" - if you come to the US on any other kind of visa, the requirements are much stricter and the waiting period for eligibility can sometimes take much longer. Particularly on the latter, the US actually has requirements on how many people per country can immigrate/travel in a given a year, even if you're sponsored by a business or a friend or a family member (eg a brother or uncle). So some people end up waiting years to move to the US; that's just the demand on the system. But with a "green card marriage," you get to jump most of the queues and your waiting period for eligibility disappears in an instant. You can literally begin your application to move to the US the day you get engaged to a US citizen or the day you get married.

But you still have to go through all the hoops and fill out all the paperwork anyway. No way around that. No matter who your grandmother is.

Now for the part that makes all of this even more complicated: COVID.

A lot of rules government-wide were relaxed because of the COVID national emergency. One of the areas in which a lot of rules, standards, and regulations were relaxed is immigration, which caused an enormous backlog of paperwork and cases. Why? Because we're the goverment, y'all, and we move at slower-than-glacial-pace. In March 2020, we still processed a million things by hand on actual physical paper. (Remember, I'm a fed. I've got horror stories for days about this.) So part of the issue with everyone going home is that the paperwork didn't come home with us. It just kept stacking up and stacking up and stacking up in the office because we were still using paper systems and there hadn't been enough time to automate processes or digitize systems when we were ordered to work from home on March 16th. (Particularly in the DC area, talks/plans to send us all home started literally the week before, on March 9th. That was zero time to do anything but scale up the VPN and give everyone a laptop so whole entire agencies can work from home - because remember, before March 2020, it wasn't a thing for us in government to work from home.) So in June/July 2020 when the local stay-at-home orders were finally lifted, we all went back to the office to huge backlogs of paperwork and casework. Backlogs that were still growing by the day, and backlogs that needed to be handled quickly. As a result, there were a lot of decisions made to just "rubber-stamp" everything as quickly as possible. In DHS/USCIS, that meant citizenship and visa applications weren't as closely reviewed as they may have been in the past because the bosses were telling us "just get it done" because the Trump Administration was breathing down everyone's necks to deliver results that they could use in his re-election campaign.

So there's speculation now that Harry's visa/immigration application is one of those cases that got "rubber stamped" to get through the backlog. And part of that speculation is an attempt to understand when exactly did the visa paperwork get processed and whether there was undue special treatment in doing so. Was he part of the backlog that was grandfathered/rubber-stamped into the US? Or was his application processed before that?

Because if his application was processed before he moved here in March 2020, well, then the Sussexes aren't telling the truth about where they lived or what they were doing. Reason being that typically on a spousal visa, you usually can't already be living here in the US when you apply for it. You apply from your home country and come to the US only once your visa request has been granted.

So did the Sussexes apply for Harry's visa when they were living in Canada, starting the process as early as November 2019 when the BRF forced them into a vacation and panicking in February 2020 when COVID started closing borders? In that case, did the Sussexes apply diplomatic pressure to expedite DHS's review of Harry's case so they could be in the US before borders closed? Or did they say "screw it" and moved to the US without waiting for a decision and then applied diplomatic pressure to have Harry's case approved retroactively?

Or did the Sussexes apply for Harry's visa much earlier, when they were still living in the UK/working as full-time royals? And if that's the case, then did they really go to Canada like they said they did, or did they just hide out in the US for a bit so Harry could pick up his green card, and then they traveled to Vancouver/Canada for New Year's?

Or - perhaps the more tinhatty scenario - did the Sussexes apply for Harry's visa right after the marriage, at the earliest opportunity Meghan could've filed the paperwork? In which case, their secret honeymoon could really potentially have been a trip to the US so Harry could claim his green card.

Option 3 is incredibly farfetched. We know the Sussexes can't keep their stories straight so I feel like if that's what had actually happened, there would've been holes poked into their "fleeing to Canada" narrative already.

I probably lean towards Option 1 (they exploited COVID to move here) but Option 2 is pretty plausible too.

Anyway, that's a ton more than you/anon probably expected. (It's a whole lot more than I expected to write about too.) But hopefully this clears up some confusion about what exactly is happening with Harry's immigration status, why it's possible he can still be deported, and sheds a little light on the Homeland Security lawsuit.

Edit: added some clarification (see bolded part under the flowchart)

Tell me a secret, Brandy 👀

A secret? Hmmm...

So back in 2021 when I first started writing for Oscar Isaac I quickly moved over to Pedro Pascal as well - and like most of us queued up Narcos early on. It's a great show, but I wanted to know more about the background - the US Embassy that was the HQ for most of their work.

You see, Nonnie, I'm a West Cost girl. The US federal government exists to me as a vague thing over there where people wear suits with ties and sound like Aaron Sorkin. I wore jeans to my last three job interviews. This is obviously not my world.

But it interested me and down into the rabbit hole I went. Looking at both the past and present embassy staff and process. I discovered that it was called the Foreign Service - the diplomatic corps - and run by the State Department. I discovered that there were five different areas of interest you could apply in under and that the average time to get hired was about two years start to finish.

I discovered that the foreign service travelled the world. That they ran embassies, processed visas, reported on the host country, and maintained our diplomatic relations.

I discovered that there was a test to start the process and it was coming up fast.

This is mid-2021 by now and I was working as an attorney and I'm going to be frank with you Nonnie, I wasn't enjoying it.

So I took the test. I got a 192/200 and you also submit six essay questions which they look at if you pass (along with your resume) and then decide if they bring you in for the next phase.

I did not get invited to the next phase.

::disappointed face::

I went to a pretty dark place Nonnie, I have to admit. A bit of crying, some depression. But you know what? For the first time in my life I didn't give something up after failing at it once. I told myself I'd try again.

And I did.

In October 2022 I took the test again. I didn't do as well but I spent more time on my essays and narrowed my focus on my career track.

And I got invited to the assessment in DC.

The assessment is three parts: a group exercise, a memo, and a structured interview. I was an anxious mess leading up to it. I had three panic attacks. I nearly refused to get on the train to DC the day before (I always heard Maine was nice I could just go to Maine).

But I went.

And Nonnie?

I passed.

I still have to get both a security and medical clearance and my score is solid but not outstanding in terms of getting hired (higher scores will be hired before lower ones) but my chances are pretty good that this time next year I'll be a federal employee and on my way to serving abroad.

So that's my secret Nonnie. I chased a dream and it's coming true.

Norway Visit Visa Guide: Everything You Need to Know for a Hassle-Free Trip

Based on the above information, getting a Norway visit visa might seem hard, but it’s not as difficult as it seems. If you have all the key documents and want to arrange your application in advance, read through the steps described in this guide. Norway is one of the most naturally endowed countries in the world, featuring fjords and vibrant cities. To enjoy your time there, all you need is the visa.

The only thing that is left to do, literally, after your Norway visa has been approved is to begin to prepare for the trip. Whether watching the northern lights, visiting art galleries and historic sites, or walking the streets of Oslo, Norway has many tricks up its sleeve for tourists. Once you arrange everything and make your plans, you’ll be set for a memorable trip filled with beauty.

1. Types of Norway Visas

Understanding the relevant visa type is crucial for an issue-free visit to Norway. The Schengen visa is the most popular for temporary travel, allowing stays of up to 90 consecutive days within 180 days in Norway and all Schengen countries. This visa is perfect for tourists, business, family or friends visits, and conference or event attendance. The advantage of the Schengen Visa is that it allows you to visit several countries in Europe with just one visa, making it ideal for those touring multiple countries.

If your visit is for work, study, or any activity lasting more than 90 days, you must apply for a Long-Stay Visa or D-Visa. This visa is specific to Norway and requires additional documentation based on your visit's purpose. A D-Visa allows you to stay longer for education, work, or family reunification, unlike the 90-day limit of a Schengen visa.

2. Requirements for a Norway Visa Application

Some documents required for a Norway visa include an unexpired passport with at least two blank pages and validity exceeding the intended stay. A completed visa application form is necessary, along with two recent passport-sized photos that meet specific biometric standards. Being well-organized as you prepare these documents is essential. These are the basic documents of your visa application and needed to identify and verify the applicant.

These documents are in addition to the travel documents required to present evidence of the trip's necessity and feasibility. These include travel insurance with adequate medical coverage, a confirmed return flight ticket, and proof of accommodation (hotel bookings or invitation letters from friends or relatives). You may also need to provide a work certificate or proof of income; if self-employed, business documents are necessary. These steps ensure you have a valid reason for visiting and can support yourself during the trip.

3. How to Apply for a Norway Visa: Step-by-Step Process

Before going any further, let us look at the documents needed for your Norway visa application: your passport, completed application form, and other documents, including proof of accommodation and financial status. Having every document in order before applying is crucial to avoid delays or rejection. Travel insurance prerequisites include coverage for emergency medical services and evacuation if necessary.

After your documents are completed, make an appointment with the nearest Norwegian Embassy, Consulate, or Visa Application Centre (VAC). During your visit, fill out a questionnaire on the application form and participate in an interview, where you may be asked questions about your intended trips. You will then need to pay for the visa, with costs varying based on your age and the type of visa you are applying for. The application typically takes about 15 days to process, so it’s wise to apply early in case of any complications near your travel date.

4. Advice on Norway Visa Application

It is important to be keen when applying for a visa to ensure you are issued the right one. Make sure all required information is included and accurate before submitting your documents. A common mistake is submitting an incomplete application; ensure your passport copies, photographs, and travel insurance documents are in order. Being thorough will save time and improve your chances of getting approval.

Moreover, a well-developed and described plan of your trip may help you strengthen your application in many ways. Ensure that you offer a full schedule with flight information and confirmation of accommodation. This shows that you have taken your time in planning your visit and that you actually have a formal plan. This part is very important: one must not lie about the purpose of traveling, as it can lead to visa rejection or a ban from future applications. It is recommended to apply at least 4-6 weeks before the planned trip to cover processing time and possible additional delays.

5. Things to Do After You Have Been Offered a Norway Visa

After getting your Norway visa, verify the information to ensure accuracy. Check that your name, travel dates, and visa type are correct on the sticker. Any mistakes should be corrected promptly with the issuing authority. Review the terms of your visa, including the duration of your stay and any other Schengen countries you can visit if you plan to travel beyond Norway.

When traveling, make sure you have all necessary documents, especially proof of accommodation, return tickets, and travel insurance. Norwegian immigration authorities may ask for these upon arrival, so keep them handy in case of any issues at the border. Once you set your visa and other travel essentials, you’ll be ready to explore Norway’s beautiful scenery and cultural attractions.

6. Why Norway Visa Application May Be Rejected

The main cause of visa refusal is often due to improper or missing documents that required for the visa application. As little as one required document, or a wrong entry, can lead to application rejection or delays. To ensure you produce all relevant documents before submission, strictly adhere to the instructions from the Norwegian Embassy or Consulate. All documents must be authentic and up to date to minimize challenges during the application process.

The second major reason for visa refusal is lack of funds, which is a common cause of visa denials. You must demonstrate that you can fend for yourself economically while in Norway. This typically requires providing proof of financial means, such as bank statements or financial documents. Without such evidence, authorities may fear you cannot support yourself or might overstay your visa. It’s crucial to show you have sufficient funds to cover your travel and stay, especially for extended trips.

Conclusion:

Securing your Norway visit visa is crucial for preparing your trip to this beautiful Scandinavian country. Understanding the types of visas, collecting the required documents, and following the application process will help ensure successful visa approval. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway to enjoy Norway's sights and scenery, a business trip, or studying, useful tips can enhance your journey.

Now that you have your Norway visit visa, you can think about how best to spend your time there. It’s the ultimate travel destination, offering everything from the fabulous northern lights to cultural and city tours. With your itinerary set and all necessary papers prepared, your trip to Norway will be unforgettable. Safe travels!

Everything You Need to Know About Maid Visa Services in Dubai

If you're living in Dubai and considering hiring a maid to help manage your household, understanding the maid visa process can seem a bit overwhelming. But don’t worry! We’re here to break it down for you in simple terms.

What Is a Maid Visa?

A maid visa, also known as a domestic worker visa, is a special type of visa that allows you to employ a maid or domestic worker in Dubai. This visa is essential for ensuring that your maid is legally allowed to live and work in the UAE.

Who Can Apply for a Maid Visa?

To apply for a maid visa in Dubai, you need to be a resident of the UAE. There are some specific requirements:

Income Requirement: You must have a certain minimum salary, e.g 25000 which varies depending on the number of people living in your household and your residential status.

Accommodation: You need to have a suitable living space for your maid. This means having enough room in your home for the maid to live comfortably.

How to Apply for a Maid Visa

Gather Required Documents: You will need to provide documents such as your Emirates ID, residence visa, and proof of income. Your maid will also need a valid passport and a medical check-up.

Submit the Application: You can submit the maid visa application through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai or use an approved typing center for assistance.

Processing Time: The application processing time can vary, but it typically takes a few weeks. During this time, you may be required to attend an interview or provide additional documentation.

Medical and Visa Stamping: Once the application is approved, your maid will need to undergo a medical check-up in Dubai. After passing the medical test, the visa will be stamped in their passport.

Important Points to Remember

Labour Contract: You need to sign a labor contract with your maid, detailing their job responsibilities, working hours, and salary.

Sponsorship Fees: Be prepared for sponsorship fees, which include the visa cost and additional charges like medical insurance and other administrative expenses.

Renewals: The maid visa is usually valid for two years. You will need to renew it before it expires to keep your maid legally employed.

Internship Abroad: Housing, Visas, and More

Preparing for an internship abroad can be exciting, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges, especially when it comes to securing housing and visas. My journey began with researching various housing options. While I initially considered staying at The Intune Group’s housing facility, I decided against it. I wanted to experience the independence of living on my own, something I hadn't done in my 22 years. Plus, the housing facility was quite expensive, costing around $15,500 for the duration of my stay. I figured an Airbnb apartment would be more affordable and offer more privacy.

Accommodations

Airbnb quickly became my focus. I scoured the internet for various rental options, including Airbnb, Zillow, and other American sites. After comparing prices and reading reviews, I decided Airbnb was the best choice for me. I booked my apartment in mid-January, giving me about a month and a half to prepare for my move to the US in late February.

Airbnb is a popular option for short-term housing abroad. It allows you to rent a room or an entire apartment/house from local hosts. However, it's essential to verify the location and read reviews before booking. Additionally, some cities have regulations regarding Airbnb rentals, so always check local laws. If you are seeking a less expensive option, student housing, homestays, or private apartments are also viable choices. Student housing is often affordable and convenient if your internship is associated with a university. Homestays offer an immersive cultural experience, while private apartments provide more privacy. Research various platforms to explore these options.

Legal Preparations

Securing a visa is another critical step. The visa process was a bit stressful, and I had to request a faster processing time to ensure my visa was approved before my flight. The visa appointment was scheduled for just a few days before my departure, which left me scrambling. I was advised that I couldn't book my flight until I had my visa in hand, which meant I had to book a last-minute flight, which was more expensive. It was a bit of a hassle, but once I received my visa, everything went smoothly.

Visa Application is a crucial step when preparing for an internship abroad. The application process varies depending on the country, so always check the specific requirements of your destination. Some common requirements include a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, health insurance, and a letter from your internship provider. Prepare for your visa interview by researching common questions and practicing your responses. Dress professionally, bring all necessary documents, and be ready to explain why you chose the specific internship and how it will benefit your career.

Travel Planning

As research has shown, travel insurance is essential for international travel, especially when you’re interning abroad. It covers unexpected incidents, such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost luggage. I made sure to get travel insurance to protect myself from any unforeseen circumstances that might arise during my time in the US. I also learned that it's important to have a credit card with no foreign transaction fees to save money on international purchases and ATM withdrawals.

Travel insurance is essential when interning abroad. It covers unexpected incidents, such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost luggage. Compare different policies and providers to find the best coverage for your needs. When planning your travel, consider using a credit card with no foreign transaction fees. This will help you save money on international purchases and ATM withdrawals. Additionally, inform your bank about your travel plans to avoid any issues with your credit or debit card abroad.

Relocating for Work

One thing that caught me off guard was the requirement to have separate health insurance for my stay in the US. Apparently, in the Netherlands, you can't have Dutch health insurance if you're abroad for an extended period. It was a bit of a hassle to manage, and I even received an email a few weeks ago reminding me that I needed to have medical insurance, which I didn't. As a result, I had to pay a fee, which was frustrating. This is another thing to consider when planning your internship abroad, and it's important to research the local health insurance options and requirements to avoid any surprises.

If you're moving to a new country for your internship, research the local health insurance options. Some countries have public health systems, while others rely on private insurance. Make sure you understand the coverage and costs associated with each option.

Overall, preparing for an internship abroad can be a lot of work. But with careful planning and research, you can navigate the challenges and make the most of your experience. By securing housing, obtaining a visa, and taking care of necessary travel arrangements, you can focus on the exciting opportunities that await you.

.

1. Student Visa for the United States

An F1 visa is granted to international students who are enrolled in an academic programme or English Language Program at a college or university in the United States. F1 students must maintain a minimum course load in order to be considered full-time students.

 Unless they have applied for and been approved to stay and work in the US for a period of time under the OPT Program, they can stay in the country for up to 60 days beyond the length of time it takes to complete their academic programme.

F1 students are expected to complete their studies by the expiration date on their I-20 form (Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Student Status), which is provided by the US college or university to which they have been accepted and will be attending.

2. F1 Visa Requirements

During an F1 visa interview, applicants must satisfy and demonstrate several strict criteria, including the following::

The US Consulate has implemented a pre-appointment system for Visa Interviews. The applicant must appear for a personal interview at the US consulate on the date you choose for the visa interview. The applicant must persuade the visa officer that he or she is qualified for the visa. The applicant must demonstrate that he or she has strong ties to India and that he or she is not an intending immigrant or looking for permanent residence in the United States. When answering the questions, keep it brief and to the point.

.

If the officer is unable to review all of the documents carried by the applicant, do not be surprised or angry. Because officers have limited time for each applicant, they may not be able to review many, if any, documents at times. As a result, one should be prepared to explain one’s situation verbally and to respond to all questions promptly, patiently, and confidently.

.

On the same day, the applicant will be informed whether he or she has been granted or denied a visa. The name of the university for which an I-20 has been submitted to the consulate will also appear on the passport. As a result, it is prudent to exercise extreme caution when making the final selection of a university. If your visa is rejected on the first try for any reason, you can reapply after three working days.

Foreign Residence : F1 applicants must have a foreign residence and intend to return there once their studies are completed.

Sponsoring Institution : You may only study at the academic institution through which your F1 visa was granted while on the visa.

Financial Support : Applicants must demonstrate adequate financial support — the Study USA Financing Guide can assist you in preparing for this aspect of your study abroad experience.

Ties to the Home Country : All applicants must demonstrate strong ties to their home country.

Strong bonds include, but are not limited to, the following:

3. Admission Requirements

Admission policies differ between universities. Your university will tell you what they need to know in order to determine if you are academically qualified. Among other things, you will need to demonstrate to the school that you have enough money to support yourself while studying without having to work, and you may be required to demonstrate health insurance to cover any medical expenses if you require medical assistance. Once the university has determined that your application is complete and that you are academically qualified, they will issue you an I-20 form, which will allow you to apply for your student visa.

4. Where to Submit Your F1 Visa Application

Generally, applicants for student visas should apply at the US Embassy or Consulate with jurisdiction over their permanent residence. This is typically your home country — the country in which you reside. Although visa applicants may apply at any U.S. consular office abroad, qualifying for the visa outside the country of permanent residence may be more difficult.

The following are some of the questions that the Visa officer is likely to ask:

What is the purpose of your trip?

Which university are you planning to go to?

Who is sponsoring you?

Why do you want to do MS / MBA?

Why you Select USA?

Why you go to USA?

Why do you wish to study in the US and not in India?

Why did you select this University?

Do you have any relatives in the US?

Why is your GRE / GMAT / SAT / TOEFL score low?

What are you plans after completing your studies?

What is your father’s annual income?

MY STORY

(8) Interview at the Australian Embassy granted!

We went into a spin of panic. No country accepted us as migrants and Australia didn't accept asylum seekers at all. Three years in Greece seeking asylum seemed like a time lost in a limbo. "What shall we do", we kept asking this question while depression started settling in.

I started praying and vowed a vow to God, in the name of Jesus. I said, "JESUS, if you grant us an entry to Australia, I promise to read the entire Bible as soon as I arrive there." We had nothing to lose. The application for a visa to Australia was the only option. But how do you get through knowing that Australia is a 'difficult' country plus there was a medical requirement. This medical requirement was a major obstacle.

God had proved to us that nothing is impossible with Him. And if we are serious in offering a vow, and He sees our future so He knows what our heart is like, HE CAN DO MIRACLES.

From the moment of making the vow to the moment of boarding the plane to Australia with a permanent residency visa in our pockets, it took us only 5 months. This includes passing the medical, despite treating pneumonia in my lungs (forget about my vision impairment!) plus visiting my hometown on the way to say "Good-bye" to our families realizing that the trip is long and there wouldn't be any coming-back soon! What was even more fascinating, Artur wasn't turned away at the Polish border to face a penalty for not completing, a mandatory back then, 2-year National Military Service in Poland. In other words, he miraculously escaped to be either called-up (or taken into) the Polish Army to serve for the duration of two years.

Of course, this was not normal. This never happened before to anyone except us! It was unheard of, to go in such a smooth run with these kinds of obstacles. But if we treat JESUS SERIOUSLY AND PUT GOD ON PEDESTAL, he does unthinkable for us.

.....
