Is it Possible to Change University After Scheduling a US Student Visa Appointment? | GyanDhan

Hi @Aman_Sachan

Changing the university after getting your visa approved is a little tricky. To initiate the process, follow these steps -

  1. Get the I-20 from the new university
  2. Transfer the SEVIS fee. The fmjfee website is used to pay the I-901 fee. Go onto the website and fill in the required details for payment status. If there is a valid record of your 1-901 fee, you will see the transfer button. Just need to click on it. You will be prompted to fill the SEVIS ID of the new university. Enter the correct details. You will receive an email for the transfer request. A second email will either confirm your transfer or deny it. If the transfer is approved, print the new details for later use. In case the request is rejected, the email will have an explanation.
  3. Fill and submit a new DS-160 with the details of the second university.
  4. Pay the visa fees once again.
  5. Schedule and attend the OFC and visa interview appointment a second time.

Follow these steps and sit for the interview again. I hope this helps you. If you face any problem, post on this thread and I will get back to you. All the best!
