F1 Visa Issue

[guidance]

Could you please guide me how to handle this case?

I am in dependant visa and doing my degree in USA, i have done all the pre-requisites as per the guidance by the university for more than a year.

Finally I also enrolled in the program and the student advisor they delayed the process in converting my visa to student.

Now they say it is really difficult to convert to student visa due to geographical location of the university, they have distance education in various states and i am doing in one of the branch location.

They gave written statement saying that they failed to analyze the international student visa issue and it will take more than an year to figure it out and it will be too late to convert student visa as my graudation is due with in a year. I spent more than 25K in doing this course and now they are saying that i can transfer to other college or refund the tuition fees to resolve the issue.

I cant avail the opt for 1 year and i have to stay home after completing the course. I was totally cornered and please advice how to deal with them.....

Many distance education programs are not accredited and have numerous other problems as you have found. Many universities will not accept transfer credit and require 2 years in residence at the university to receive a degree. If you would like to PM me the name of your university and degree, I'll look at it to see if I can come up with some suggestions for you.
