F1-visa for prospective international graduate students!
Once the international student gets an I-20 from any university,he or she becomes officially accepted to that
particular graduate school. A student can hold multiple I-20's but can apply the F-1 visa with only
one university's I-20.
The student should choose a graduate school in which they think best maximizes their chance of getting
a student F1-visa. Typically if you have an I-20 with aid although is not the university you want to attend,it's best advised to
appear for the F-1visa with that particular I-20.
Once the student gets accepted at the consulate he or she gets the F-1 visa stamped on the passport
for that particular graduate school. The student then can come to the US on that particular F1-visa
and once they enter US should report to the graduate school.

If the student still desires to go to another graduate school for which they hold a valid I-20. The student can take
a transfer to that graduate school by completing the paper work under the authority of the international
office of both the graduate schools accordingly.
The student need not get another F1-visa or need not go to the consulate again.
