Can I Use B1/B2 to travel to the US When Applying F1
Upvote:2
As per the official site It only takes 3 calendar days to get an appointment at the Vancouver consulate and the processing time is 3 working days. You have almost two months. I would definitely not complicate my life having an F visa ongoing while visiting the US.
Problem is, the USCIS really doesn't like people who attempt to switch status from B1/B2 to F (because if it was your original intent to stay and learn in the US then you have committed fraud when you declared you are visiting) and while you claim you intend to leave before reentering on your F visa it's anyone's guess whether they believe it. If on the border they get wind of an F visa within the six months permitted by the entry on the visitor visa things can get very ugly, very fast. Don't do this. You don't need the trouble.
Remember the two important rules for border crossing: never lie to immigration and never offer information unasked. What's the purpose of the trip? California vacation. How long are you here? Just a week, here is my hotel/airbnb reservation/phone number of my host/whatever and my return plane ticket. Like that.
