Hire an Immigration Attorney When Student Visa- Rejected!

If you are Canadian and had planned to attend school in the USA, but somehow got your Student Visa rejected, find a good immigration attorney to straighten out what could become a rather complex legal issue without much effort. 
 If this has happened to you, it is possible that you might have been under the same mistaken assumption of many Canadians in that they do not have to abide by the same rules as other international students; but that assumption is far from the truth, as many immigration lawyers can attest.
 
According to information obtained from the US Department of State (DOS) and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the only difference between Canadian students and other International students entering the US to study is that Canadian citizens not have to apply for an entry visa through a US Consulate. They do, however, have to obtain the same documentation as every other immigrant in reference to study, work or permanent residence in the USA. A student would need to have completed the following documentation to be considered for a visa.

•    1-20 A-B Certificate of Eligibility (F-1) Status
•    1-20M-N Certificate of Eligibility (M-1)Status
•    DS-160 Non Immigrant Visa Electronic Application form
•    MRV paid receipt.
•    A passport valid to at least six months beyond your stay in the US
•    1-2x2 photograph


Additionally, you are expected to provide transcripts and diplomas from other institutions that you have attended; scores from any standardized tests that you have taken and proof of financial sufficiency.
  
The US government requires that the school you will be attending issues you the 1-20 form, the DS-160 is done online and the rest is done through the US embassy's office.
The Immigration and National Act is fairly specific with regard to the requirements which must be met by applicants to qualify for a Student Visa, the consular officer at the US embassy will be the  you applied will make If you have gone through all of this procedure, however, and your application was still rejected there are a few reasons that would automatically put you out of the running for active study in the US.  If your application was denied for any of the following reasons, correcting those issues, then finding immigration lawyer attorneys to re-file your petition might be the best course of action.  The most common reasons for a student visa application to be rejected would be as follows:

•    Must have a residence abroad with no immediate intention to abandon.
•    Intend to return home once the course of study is completed
•    Possess sufficient funds to pursue the proposed course of study

So, if your student visa has been rejected, hire a reputable immigration law firm.  Diplomacy in this type of situation is always the best tact, and with an immigration attorney on your side; one who has been trained in the nuances and complexities of immigration law will understand what you did wrong the first time around and correct the discrepancy in your re-filed petition. Before you know it, you are sitting in class and enjoying the academic environment of the American university or your choice, with all immigration issues a thing of the past.
