Hi! Im an International Sophomore student transferring from my home country (Panama) to the U.S(California) and I’m about to transfer to Fall 2017 to Cal Poly Pomona to continue my major in MIS, I wanted to go to Csu Fullerton because I heard that their Business major is very good, so, I believed that “well, my major has something with business on it then it should be a better option” but then, they denied me because they didn’t considered my class a Critical Thinking Class that was also one of the Golden 4 Rule. Anyhow, I send them my Appeal Letter the first week of may of 2017 but then I called like the fourth week of may and they told me it wasn’t processed because they couldn’t open a file, but then they fixed it and said that they will put my file back and let the process continue. They haven’t called me yet, and it has also passed a month more of waiting. I called Yesterday and they said that hopefully I will get an answer this week(26-30 of June) but, If I do get accepted I will have to change my visa that has been already accepted and stamped and everything from Pomona to Fullerton. The thing is that I applied to a program where I’ll be in BEIJING for 3 whole weeks so I may come back the 26th of JULY! and If they did accepted me do you guys think that I should make an effort and try to do all these changed of my visa and being a student in Fullerton worth it in about 3 week and a half that ill be leaving to Pomona?
Schedule:
May 3rd - Send out my Appeal Letter to Fullerton
May 24th - Called, and they Fixed it so they put back my file for the process
June 2nd - Got my F-1 Visa for Cal Poly Pomona
June 26th - Called Fullerton and they told me that hopefully I’d get my answer THIS WEEK
5th of July - Departing from Panama to Beijing for the Program
26th of July - Departing from Beijing to Panama
The GAP that I will have 3 weeks I will have if there is time to process the papers for Fullerton
22nd of August - Departing from Panama to California to attend CAL POLY POMONA (that the plan for now!)
so, my question is that from the 26th of July till the 22nd of August do you believe that I should do all the changing process of my visa and everything from Pomona to Fullerton? Or that I should just deny the acceptance of Fullerton and just stick with Pomona? and do you think that the process of changing visa F-1 to the SAME visa F-1 just to tell the console that I’m just changing University will take a lot of time or will it take much less within the 3 week GAP that I have?
