I'm an Indian citizen, and I need to attend a business meeting from 13th of July in the US sponsored by my company. Hence I will require a B-1 visa for 10 days in mid July.
However, soon after the meeting, I'll be moving for studies and hence will need an F-1 visa from 10th of August for staying at an institute in the US for the next few years. The college will be sending me the I-20 this week.
How should I proceed to book slots with the consulate? Will there be any effect on either of the visas? I cannot seem to find information on such a case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
