Hello,
Currently I'm in the US working on L1 B visa and the I94 expiry date is 25 May 2009. My passport is expiring on 07 Oct 2011.
I have been admitted to the one of the popular programs in one of the top universities in the US. I want to start the program from fall 2010 as a full-time student. So for this, I need F1 Visa.
On 20 May 2009, I'll leave for my home country. I'll apply for the F1 visa.
I have the following queries:
1) Is it that I won't be granted F1 Visa in June / July 2010 because I have already lived in the US for three years ?
2) I know that three months before the date of the passport expiry I need to apply for renewal. This means I need to apply in May / June 2010. Could my F1 visa be denied because I would then have approx 10 or 11 months before my passport expired ?
3) Do you see any potential problems / risk from the details that I mentioned above ?
Thank you for your help !
