Terry/ Anybody!!
Need to know on my visa status - I'm from India but right now in USA on work permit. I came to USA on F1 for MS and then converted to H1 and am working. Now if I am to get back to studing MBA, I believe, I need to convert back to F1 -so shud I still prove my funding capabilities to receive the visa? For my initial F1, I had to prove my ability to come, live in US and support my entire course fee. Now that I am in US, what amount balance (GSB website shows entire expense to be $91k) should I maintain to get the F1 visa from GSB? Does GSB guarantee any kind of financial assistance to all admitted candidates?
How practical is it to assume completing the program with minimal personal funds and depend on GSB funding possibilities for major portion of the tuition?
Thanks,
R
