Hello,
I was on a visitors visa in USA purely and solely on the purpose of visiting a few cousins and friends of mine.during a visit to one of my friend's college,I happened to meet a few professors and other people who encouraged me take my Sat's and toefl and apply to some universities in USA.
Luckily i got admission into one of the universities for fall08 and i went to my international advisor who gave me three options for my visa,
1.Change of status
2.go to homecountry and get the visa
3.Go to canada or mexico and get your visa as a third country national
I didnt go in for change of status as i felt it wasnt the right way and also i didnt have much time.
I didnt prefer going back to my homecountry and gettting it as there was very less time as i had decided very late on choosing whether to study abroad or not and my orientation had already started
So i chose going to canada as a third country national and getting my visa.
I went to canada and attened the interview but they said everything is fine except that i was a third country national and my homecountry visa officers would be the best persons to evaluate the decision and the officer in canada asked me to go back to my home country and get my visa
In the process she also cancelled my visitors visa without prejudice and said that was mandatory.
Now i deferred my admission to january 09 and iam in my homecountry in asia and i want to attend my interview on January 2nd as my orientation is starting on 12th of january.
I just want to know what should i do and act according to my situation.
Any advice would be of great great great help
Thanks
THIS IS VERY URGENT
