QUESTION
How long should I wait to apply for a visitor's visa after having an F1 visa?

More details to this question:
I returned home June of 2012 after being in the US on an F1 visa for 5 years. How long should I wait until I try and apply for a visitor's visa? I would like to visit family, friends and most importantly deal with things I have in storage from when I was living over there. However, since there are a growing number of people I know that are getting denied for not showing strong ties, I feel at this point I may be considered to not have strong ties having only returned about 9 months ago. How long should I wait before I apply? I already have a stable, well paying job. What else will they be looking for?

There is no way to know what an individual consular office will consider sufficient ties. I recommend you just apply. If you are denied, you can always apply again later.
