Does having relatives in the USA reduce chances of getting a F1 visa for studying MS in the US?

 It might.

Your 'intent' might be questioned if you have immediate relatives living in the US.

In such a situation, you might be suspected of applying for a student visa under a false pretense and intending to immigrate, which implies that you won't return home after you finish your studies and pursue a career in the U.S.


What should I do about it?

  • Target different state universities
  • Target the best Universities in the USA
  • Establish strong ties with your homeland.
  • Be as clear as possible that your only plan is to study in the States and return home after graduation.
  • Do keep in mind that the relatives here in question are only blood relatives, i.e, siblings and not cousins, so you need not disclose about your cousins.
  • Embassies usually ask you questions related to your academics and about the university you intend to apply. Your financial stability and your performance at the Embassy interview are the two factors that determine whether your Visa application will be approved.
  • It is important that you convince the consular officer that you intend to study, that you can pay for your studies without working illegally, and that you will return to your home country after your studies are completed.



All the best!
