advanced degree exempt - overseas campus of US university

Am studying in the Singapore campus of University of Chicago, graduating Mar 2016 and planning to try the H1b lottery in Apr 2016.

Background: My Master’s program (Financial Mathematics) has 2 campuses, one in Chicago and the other in Singapore. The university confirmed that the Master’s degree awarded will NOT mention Singapore or Chicago. It’s the same degree with the same teachers, same homework, same exams, same lectures real time via video link. Not a joint program with another university.

Q: does the ADE application form require some evidence (like F1 visa details) to prove I studied in a US campus?

(If it helps at all, I could get a B1 or B2 visa to enter the US.)

This should be a somewhat common situation since a number of US universities have such a satellite campus overseas. I believe Chicago Booth is another example.

I searched online but didn’t see any detail about the ADE application form. Any website you know?

Note I’m not eligible for OPT, because I’m enrolled in the Singapore campus, not the Chicago campus.

I don’t think you can apply under ADE as the university is located outside USA. You will have to attach the copies of your I-20, OPT card (if you have one), F1 visa, Degree certificate from the university along with the transcript, when you file your petition under advanced degree cap.

Thanks Ramanan. I will ask my university to issue the I-20 and F1 visa for a 3-month exchange to the US campus. (Degree certificate and transcript will not show location of campus.)

Based on your knowledge, is that all I need to apply for ADE?
