Student Visa Renewal :(
Login in to Rate this Post:     0       ?        
I got my visa renewed from Kathmandu in May 2013. My visa and I-20 expired in June 2012 but I had my I-20 extended till December 2013. I am a PhD student. And I had the followding documents:
Transcript, A letter from the department saying I am yet to finish my required credits towards my PhD, Renewed I-20, Transcripts of my PhD program, and other supplimentary documents about relationships and finance etc. Renewal was easy.

For renewal application, I filled up the DS160 (?) form I asked my friend to go to Nabil bank and get the receipt and and interview date. Typically, you get the interview date after a week of submitting the form and fees. I reached KTM 2 days before my visa interview and they gave passport back in 2 days after the interview.

Before that I wanted to go to Canada and renew my visa. I also got visa for Canada and an interview date. But I decided to go to KTM cause I thought with the money and time I go to Canada ( travel, hotel, uncertainities) I might as well go home.


Good luck guys!
