Am I eligible to apply for a Schengen Visa from the U.S. though F-1 visa is expired?

Besides all the documents that show your intended EU consulate that your a financially sound traveler/ tourist, show them intent to exit.

How? - Dummy ticket/ unticketed reservation to India or elsewhere. Or buy a full fare fully refundable ticket to elsewhere and then cancel it once you have the visa.

I had to something similar once as a latin american consulate wanted a ticket, and we were struggling because:

  • To set a schedule to fly from a certain location in US
  • Find a day / date when fare was suitably inexpensive
  • Reach that city on time
  • Sync up with my friends schedule in Latin Am
  • And get consular date/ time appointment for the visa in another US city

Try to get all this done in a short window of time. Crazy.

So, I had to try & lock a visa appointment in one US City A (and documents/ invitation letter etc), cancel the booked ticket, sync up with friend to book a ticket few days down the line (weekend), travel to US city B to catch flight to US City C where my luggage was sitting, pack my bags and then fly to latin america.
