    Hello girls,

    Anybody applying for MBA/ MS in Fall 2012 in NJ/ NY colleges?
    Im on a H4 visa planning to apply for Fall 2012. I had questions about H4 to F1 transfer. My college application deadline is April 30th.
    1. Do I have to apply for the student visa before I submit my application?
    2. If my application gets selected, how do I start my student visa process? How much time does it take to get the i20 form?
    3. Can someone tell me the student visa procedure in short. Like what documents are needed, where do I go to get the visa, etc
    4. Do I have to go to India to get my F1 visa stamped?

    Thanks,
    Swar

    Let me try answering some of your questions!

    1. Not necessary to switch visas before sending out applications. You can be on H4 and still apply/ get admitted.

    2. As soon as you get admitted, you can contact International Student Services at the University, they will talk you through it. There's usually a counselor who will be more than willing to help you.

    3. Documents required for the visa transfer: Varies. Again talking to the International Office will help you get a clearer picture. From my experience, I think it takes anywhere between 3-6 months for the transfer.

    4. I don't think you need to go to India to get your visa stamped, you will receive an immigration document which should be converted into a visa stamp when you come into the country next after a visit to India.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Bharati,

    Hope you are doing good. Im planning to do Masters in Information system. The colleges I have shortlisted are Baruch (NYC), Pace (NYC), Stevens (Hoboken). Im currently studying for GMAT and getting documents ready for the admission procedure. Have you shortlisted any course and colleges? Did you take your GMAT yet?
