Can I still apply for a visa F 1 after submitting EB5?

Due to the long schedule of EB5, many applicants often have to wait. But in fact, the EB5 visa and F 1 visa of investment immigrants do not conflict, and they can apply at the same time.

Applicants who have submitted EB5 can apply for an F 1 student visa to study in the United States at the same time as long as they have reasonable reasons and have no bad records in the past.

If the university you apply for is related to your personal experience and career planning, and it is a regular university, the less likely you are to be rejected. Because the focus of the F 1 visa exam is: Do you really study in the United States? Do you know the school and major you applied for?

If the visa officer asks whether to apply for immigration during the interview, he'd better answer honestly that I have submitted EB5 and am waiting for approval, and also tell F 1 the reason for applying for a visa.

The main application for F 1 visa can be divided into two situations, namely, the main applicant and the subsidiary applicant:

The affiliated applicant of 1.EB5 wants to apply for an F 1 visa:

Generally speaking, the children of the main applicant do not need to prove their immigration tendency. Because EB5' s immigration plan has nothing to do with the current F 1 visa application, and it is very reasonable for children who are studying to apply for F 1 visa to study in the United States early.

Second, the EB5 principal applicant wants to apply for a visa of F 1.

Tell the visa officer honestly that the EB5 application has been submitted and is waiting for review. Although studying abroad and applying for investment immigration at the same time seem to be in conflict, it can be passed in theory. Generally, the reason why the visa for studying abroad is rejected is that the application reason is inconsistent with the facts or there is an immigration tendency. However, since I applied for investment immigration and wanted to study in the United States first during the long queue, I decided to apply for a student visa of F 1.

In order to learn the language and adapt to the environment in the United States as soon as possible, both the principal applicant and the affiliated applicant (children) can choose to apply for a visa of F 1.

Questions and answers on EB-5 and F 1 visa application at the same time

1. Will I be refused a visa if I use the F 1 visa to enter the country while applying for EB5?

If your visa F 1 has been passed, you can enter the country smoothly by answering all customs questions truthfully when you enter the country.

Second, if you apply for an F 1 student visa while waiting for the EB-5 investment immigration application, will the visa refusal rate increase?

In fact, the two applications are not related, and the pass rate does not affect each other. Don't worry about applying at the same time.
