Can we book visa slot with one i20 and then change to other?

Question

I have i20 from a few school, namely NCSU, ASU and others. And I am still waiting for i20 from TAMU. But TAMU is taking a lot of time and I am afraid that later it will be hard to get visa slots. So what is the proper solution for that?

Also, is it possible that there is no visa slots at all and then we have to drop the idea of going abroad for masters? Hope not, so scared help me

Same here, even after knowing that it's possible i need courage to explore and do it haha. But just found out that it's a Common practice and can be done. So I'll try now

Sure I'll msg you

I wanted to add that too, But i think we should choose a date, late enough so that we get i20 from other university too. If not, then i think that's just waste of visa money. Still not sure if the interview date can be changed but i really doubt that.

I am in the same boat, whether to use i20 of different college to book a visa slot and change it as soon as I receive i20 from my target school. As far as i read it is very much possible but I still just want to make sure. I'm feeling anxious as well.

If you need visa fee receipt, i have extra one which is successful you can use it instead of waiting for neft to be confirmed. Ping me

Hi, adding to what @Aniruddh asked above, what if we use some i20 to book a visa slot and we don’t receive the admit we are waiting for up until the visa interview date arrives?

Yea, that makes sense.
Also, I’ve heard we can do SEVIS Transfer from current uni to the new one after going to US. (Given you have the new uni i20 by then and the courses match.)
Requesting more info on this, if you know any.
