		<description><![CDATA[Hi Friends, I am Neha.
Please please help me with the following...

Four years ago I went to US for my graduate studies. But after only 1.3 years I left the university and came back to India (Because of some family issues). I only completed the fall semester and took exam for spring in this university. I am now re-applying to new university for a fresh start in graduate studies. (My SEVIS record must have expired by now!!)

My query is
1) As I have not finished any degree in US, is it necessary to provide details of the university i attended for 1.3 years?
2) As, I haven't spent much time in US to ask for recommendation letters from this university, can I avoid mentioning its name and arrange for strong recommendations from the university I last attended in India?
3) Will all this create issues in getting a fresh F-1 visa?

I don't want to discuss this leaving out decision of mine, can I just say that I have been working in India for last four years and tell nothing about it to the new university? (again: my sevis record must have expired by now!!)
Although I know that I will need to tell truth to the visa agencies as they can see my passport!!

Kindly help me clearing my doubts to plan ahead. Should I completely avoid talking about this short time study in US?

pls pls..reply...help me out!!
Thanks in advance ]]></description>
