Hi everyone,

I’m an Ethiopian citizen living in the UAE, and I have a UAE Golden Visa (10 years). I’m planning to apply for an F-1 visa for the University of Miami, which I’ll be attending as a full-pay student.

I’ve also previously travelled to the US and other major countries, and I returned on time from all trips.
Based on this profile, would an F-1 visa be highly likely, or is it still difficult to predict? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I am currently a, Ethiopian student studying in the United Arab Emirates and I will be attending the University of Miami. As of right now, the UAE has halted all interviews due to the conflict with Iran and I was asking if it would reduce my chances of getting a f-1 visa if I did it in the consulate in Ethiopia. For context, my parents are sponsoring me and I do have a 10-year Visa in the UAE where I want to come back and work here after graduation. I have also been to the United States and the United Kingdom (multiple times).

Another question is that would I be breaching anything by committing to other schools in other countries (like Canada or the UK) as a backup option if I do get rejected. Would this bite me in the back? Thanks!
