Hi Greatdentist
i am sushila from india.i have just joined my mph at usm on F1.now i want to leave mph after first semester and study a lot for nbde .fee per semester for mph is $5000,so i am thinking that if i can join some kaplan course it will 1.maitain my F1 status 2.perhaps it will be economical for me(how much are the fee per year in kaplan) 3.i will find more time for my studies.
BUT i don't know whether i can get permission of this change on the same visa? for how long i can remain in kaplan(at present i am having 5 years F1)
thanks

hi sushila,
i have just transfered to kaplan and before that i did mha for 1 semester. here are you r answers-
1. yes it will maintain your f-1 status, just u have to enroll for atleast 6 months,
2. it is definately more economical, the fees for part 1 and part 2 separate, which are both of 6 months each is $1000 each, but if u take a combo course of part 1 & 2 together, which is of 1 year, its fees is $1700.
3. u will definately find more time than doing mph and also save a lot of money.
ok, do tell me if you need any other information

Hi greatdentist,
Is it a must to attend one semester of college before being able to take a transfer to kaplan (for the f1 visa)?

 

[greatdentist]

hi simpl....,
ya its compulsory to complete one semester in the university on which u got the visa, its the new INS rule.

is there any interview that why you r leaving mph n joining kaplan
will i be able to join the kaplan course on the same f1 visa
thanks

hi sushila,
u can always tranfer to kaplan course without any hurdles.
Only thing u have to do is after completing one semester in your university go to your international advisor with the transfer form (given by kaplan people) get it signed.
Thn the tranfer form is to be faxed to kaplan office where they will issue a new I 20.My advisor didnt ask me any question but he himself faxed to kaplan office.
one can always take tranfer on same visa,its allowed.
good luck
