Already hold B1, will immigration be a problem with F1?
I have a B1 visa for the USA which I used in Dec-Jan for 2 months. Now I am back in India, I got a university admission last evening and am planning to go to the USA on the F1 visa in Aug. But my brother is graduating in May and I want to attend his graduation ceremony on the B1 visa. Do you think when I go in Aug on the F1 visa, will the immigration office have a problem with me?

Will my B1 B2 visa be Cancelled when I apply for an F-1?
Your B-1/B-2 visa will not be cancelled if you decide not to continue with your F-1 studies in the U.S. and you promptly depart the U.S. thank you for your answer.Can a B-1 visa be changed to F1 visa?
All other B1 and B2 visitors may apply for a change of nonimmigrant status to F1/M1 student by filing the Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Status. However, B visitors should be aware of the 30/60 day rule [see comprehensive article].How long does it take to change status from B1 to F-1?
If a person enters on a B1/B2 visitor visa, generally the person is given 6 months of time or \u201cstatus\u201d to be in the US after successfully completing inspection. After a recommended waiting period of 90 days to file an application to change status to F-1 student, that leaves the person in status for only 3 more months.Can I apply for F-1 and B1 at the same time?
Yes, as long as the visas are for different purposes. For example it is OK to have a B1/B2 (tourist/business) and F1 (student) together, but not OK to have two valid F1 visas.Will my B1 B2 visa cancelled with a F1 Visa acceptance rejection?
