Has anyone tried to apply for a first-time F1 visa in Canada without work/education experience in Canada or US? I'm thinking about doing this but the US Embassy in Canada website says this:
Consular officers in Canada may refuse to issue a visa to first-time F1 applicants if the applicant's education and/or work experience is solely or predominantly from a country other than the United States or Canada. In the absence of U.S. or Canadian education or work experience, we strongly encourage you to apply from your country of residence.
So if anyone has done this before, I could really use some help.
Many thanks!
