F1 returning student without GRE

[vinayp]

Hi,
My wife has a change of status from H4 to F1 for MS in Comp.Sci. and has completed 3 semesters. We are travelling to India now and she needs to get her visa stamped. Her school has waived GRE for her admission. Do the consulate people mandate GRE score even in this case?

Thanks!
Vinay

GRE is not mandatory.

GRE scores are not required by the consulate, they only sometimes ask for it to check the person's credentials. If asked she can answer that GRE was not required by the university.
However, if I-20 mentions English proficiency requirement she may be asked for TOEFL/IELTS score.

Thank you for the replies. That gives some confidence
