My father included me in his EB-5 petition, and our I-526 was approved over three years ago. For almost two years, our case has been documentarily complete, and we have been waiting for NVC to schedule an interview. We don’t know how much longer this will take, but I recently got accepted into a great graduate program at a prestigious university. Now, I have to apply for an F1 visa. I fully intend to return after my studies, but I know I’ll have to prove that to the consular officer. What are my chances, and how do I go about it?

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryDisclose the truth to the officer and if you a genuine student the officer should focus on your present intent at the time of applying so if you plan to return to China in the future, then the visa may be issued.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryShould not be a problem. Explain at the consular interview that you are retuning for your immigrant visa interview when or if it ever gets scheduled.
