Oh wow, congrats! 🎉🥳🙌☕️ thx for sharing good news! Could you share details of visa interview to help others?? -location -questions the VO asked -your exact answers -documents shared -university & degree -etc.
@@chaiandcoaching Hi, sorry for late reply, I had some works to do now I am here!😃 I had my VISA interview in US embassy in Nepal I applied for F1 visa, I had really good academics! I had 9.3/10 cgpa and good English proficiency with 7.5 in IELTS as well, so I guess my academics played a vital role during my interview! I was asked about 4 questions Why this university?(Webster university) Why this major?(My major was biology) Who are your sponsors?(parents) What are your future plans?(working in the field of health and medicine) I was really confident about my intentions to go to United sates and that is to continue my study, I mentioned the academic aspects of my degree and provided the abundant information about my university that would really help my major! I was confident and I made my VISA officer believe in me! As I wanted to be a health and medicine specialist I had chosen biology major with special emphasis in health and medicine, I exactly mentioned him about my idea and he immediately gave me a good response from behind the window! I had about $23,000 to pay and I said that my parents will pay for my studies, I mentioned their profession and income & the collective income from my parents was $38,000, I didn’t lie I had all of the documents present with me in the embassy! So he believed me! I mentioned about the deprived health and medicine services in my country Nepal, as I am studying biology with health and medicine emphasis, it would really help me to gain wide range of knowledge and while returning back to my home country I would look forward to work in these sectors! I was confident with all of the documents present, I made good eye contact with my VISA officer! He knew I was confident, I smiled in each and every answers I presented and he smiled back to me! I deserved my VISA and he approved it! I did it so do others can !just be genuine and confident about your case!
@@chaiandcoaching Not about making it easier. I've never liked interviews for anything. Job or just random interviews, exams, I get shaky as hell juat for being there. Then you hear a Visa Officer going on a decline spree because his /her wife offended them 🥹
I accidentally deleted our conversation. Actually, I don't speak English. For our current conversation, I'm just translating from French to English using Google Translate. That's even the reason why I'm going there, to study in-depth and understand the English language well. Thank you for your advices.
@@chaiandcoaching it was very smooth. as suggested by you and other former officers like u, i tried to get my story through. i filled up the silences with reasons about why i was pursuing further education, i think that was what convinced the officer at the very end

@chaiandcoaching I recently discovered your valuable videos and tips for passing the F-1 visa interview, and I wish I had found them earlier. I applied for an F-1 visa two months ago but was not successful. I believe this might have been due to the MPOWER loan I had at the time. Since then, I have canceled the loan and received financial support as a grant from my employer, where I have worked for three years. This grant includes a job offer with an excellent salary in their financial management team after I complete my master's degree and return to my home country. Would it be beneficial to mention these changes in financial support at the beginning of my upcoming visa interview on Thursday, August 8, 2024? Thank in advance for your guidance ❤

My visa was denied today this is my second time trying first was b1/b2 now F1 bit didn't succeed ..I was very sad I cried ..how could life be so cruel ...I don't think I can try again because am so angry 😡
I'm a bit confused. Let's say I applied for a visitor visa back in 2012, around 12 years ago. At that time, I was just a student with no job and weak ties to my home country, which were the reasons for my rejection. Now, in 2024, I have graduated and have held a stable job since 2018, amounting to 6 years of professional experience. I've also applied for an MS degree. My question is, should I be concerned that I was rejected before, even though my circumstances have completely changed? I hope this question will be helpful to many.
Visa officers usually take a maximum of 1 minute to speak with you and how can you explain all those reasons you are outlining on the video within that limited period of 60 seconds ?
@chaiandcoaching thanks for reply, but I already got a visa, today Chatgpt's voice talking helped me a lot, Also thank you for your videos, really helpful

My father is currently retired. He has been retired for a pretty long time, but he actually has the money saved up to sponsor me. Is this a red flag? And if it is how do I explain the situation to them.
What happens if you are selected for the DV Lottery but do not receive the opportunity for an interview due to a high case number, and then apply for an F1 visa?
I got refused two times. I applied for MS CS in Miu last year. Now i got an admission in FSU. But i have taken a loan from Mpower because I don’t have that money. Now how can i convince Vo about my loan ?
Is it good to say in What changes you made?? I have changed my university, because this provides me better course work and schorship 20'400usd.. Moreover my designation upgraded from associate lawyer to legal manager.
I applied for an f1 visa and got rejected a few days ago. Location antananarivo Self sponsored I work as an IT support technician and also own an agro chemical business,I work in my family agro business as well. Course of study, associate degree in IT controlled electronics. VO:why do you want to study in the us? I would like to set up my own IT consultancy firm soon and with a certification from a us institution would improve my chances of getting clients. VO:how are you funding your education: from my savings from working for my current employer and also working in my family agro business,my family is in the business of buying and selling of grains. VO: have you traveled abroad before? Aside from coming here,( third country applicant). No but I’ve previously obtained a visa to the uae but was unable to use it till it expired due to work commitments. VO do you have any family in the us? Yes an uncle in Fort Worth Texas who went through a visa lottery he won almost 20years ago. VO I’m sorry but I can’t grant you a visa right now……. What do you think I did wrong, I will be trying again next week.
@@chaiandcoaching -Location of visa interview was in Madagascar -university or college. Seattle central college for an associate degree in IT controlled electronics, I hold a diploma in information technology from a Ghanaian college. - documents shared. My bank statements showing I had more than enough to pay my fees and expenses for the entire stay in the US, also tried showing my business certificate but he wouldn’t look at it saying he doesn’t trust docs specially from Ghana, he couldn’t verify those documents so he wouldn’t want to look at any other docs I had to show, he has had issues with Ghanaian docs in the past. Lastly he confirmed having an uncle in the US meant I had ties to the US and was the reason for my denial. My uncle went to the US the legal way, through the visa lottery almost 20years ago, he has been successful at his job,he and his entire family of five are all us citizens. This happened yesterday at my second interview, this is sad and I’m really disappointed in the interview system.

Please! Can this be a problem, if let say your i-20 states that you have an Uncle that will be your source of funding, including a loan secured, and during the interview session you're asked "How will you pay back the loan while in school?". can you say part of the loan which covers your living expenses while in school would be used to pay the loan interest including personal funds from you, whilst the claimed personal funds was not stated on the i-20 but you carried the claimed personal funding bank statement with you to the interview session, without stating in your explanation to the consular that your uncle stated on your i-20 will also help pay part of the loan, in a way to take full responsibility of paying for your loan interest?
It is a clearing and forwarding business, and after a two-minute interview, they hand you the pink paper without explaining why they've denied the visa. Seriously, why deny someone a transit visa or crew? While everything is clear, can they contact the US company to verify? Is that not corruption? They should refund the visa cost.

Thank you, the videos are amazing. 2 questions. I was accepted to Boston university with 35% scholarship and I wanted my close families to send the rest of the money which my parents can't afford to my mom. Is it okay if the money was transferred a month prior to the intrveiew? And is a loan a bad choice of source of income for financing my education?
Education is fine and normal, very common You can send for whatever works best for university, just make sure you have right documents showing all financials
Thank you again for the fast reply. I will take "education" as "loan". Yes my university accepts loans. My fear was if the transfer to my mom's account will affect my VISA application? (since it will be in 1 or 2 months from the interview date). And I am from subsaharan Africa so they may be cautious on funding of the university. Will I also need to bring details of bank statements for many months?

Your videos were very helpful! i have some things i would like to know sir I apparently got my f1 visa rejected and the sponser was my US citizen uncle who's not blood related to me, can that be a red flag? Is it better to change my sponser to my mom for the second attempt?
Hey Sir! Hope you're doing well. I'm from Pakistan🇵🇰 My question is, Fall intake has already passed and now everybody is saying that visa approval ratio and scholarships are far more in Fall than in any other intake. Is it really like that I wouldn't get scholarships from universities and wouldn't get my visa approved more likely for other intakes?? Waiting anxiously for your reply please!
how big of an impact does having 3 refusals from Canada have on my chances of getting an F1 Visa to the US? Canada was so cruel to international students this year :/
@@chaiandcoaching and could an honest answer help my case? For instance if they ask about it and ask about how my situation has changed this is how i’d approach answering it (for context my most recent refusal reason was cause they weren’t convinced my application was consistent with a temporary stay) : I’d say : yes i have been refused a study visa from Canada a few times before and one of the reasons i received was that my application wasn’t consistent with a temporary stay. Since then i have been fortunate enough to better my situation and get a Golden Visa (10 years) in my country of residence (the United Arab Emirates) and this visa allows me to return to the uae at any point for 10 years. Having acquired this visa strengthens my reason to return and assures that i don’t plan to overstay my visa in any way cause the UAE has been my home for the past 13 years of my life.

@@chaiandcoaching
Hi, sorry for late reply, I had some works to do now I am here!😃
I had my VISA interview in US embassy in Nepal
I applied for F1 visa, I had really good academics!
I had 9.3/10 cgpa and good English proficiency with 7.5 in IELTS as well, so I guess my academics played a vital role during my interview!
I was asked about 4 questions
Why this university?(Webster university)
Why this major?(My major was biology)
Who are your sponsors?(parents)
What are your future plans?(working in the field of health and medicine)
I was really confident about my intentions to go to United sates and that is to continue my study, I mentioned the academic aspects of my degree and provided the abundant information about my university that would really help my major! I was confident and I made my VISA officer believe in me!
As I wanted to be a health and medicine specialist I had chosen biology major with special emphasis in health and medicine, I exactly mentioned him about my idea and he immediately gave me a good response from behind the window!
I had about $23,000 to pay and I said that my parents will pay for my studies, I mentioned their profession and income & the collective income from my parents was $38,000, I didn’t lie I had all of the documents present with me in the embassy! So he believed me!
I mentioned about the deprived health and medicine services in my country Nepal, as I am studying biology with health and medicine emphasis, it would really help me to gain wide range of knowledge and while returning back to my home country I would look forward to work in these sectors!
I was confident with all of the documents present, I made good eye contact with my VISA officer!
He knew I was confident, I smiled in each and every answers I presented and he smiled back to me!
I deserved my VISA and he approved it! I did it so do others can !just be genuine and confident about your case!

@chaiandcoaching I recently discovered your valuable videos and tips for passing the F-1 visa interview, and I wish I had found them earlier. I applied for an F-1 visa two months ago but was not successful. I believe this might have been due to the MPOWER loan I had at the time.
Since then, I have canceled the loan and received financial support as a grant from my employer, where I have worked for three years. This grant includes a job offer with an excellent salary in their financial management team after I complete my master's degree and return to my home country.
Would it be beneficial to mention these changes in financial support at the beginning of my upcoming visa interview on Thursday, August 8, 2024?

@@Mummiguel2021 ok….
I'm a bit confused. Let's say I applied for a visitor visa back in 2012, around 12 years ago. At that time, I was just a student with no job and weak ties to my home country, which were the reasons for my rejection. Now, in 2024, I have graduated and have held a stable job since 2018, amounting to 6 years of professional experience. I've also applied for an MS degree. My question is, should I be concerned that I was rejected before, even though my circumstances have completely changed? I hope this question will be helpful to many.
Any prior rejection will always have an impact
When will you have another life Q&A session? Thanks! You guys are great

Wow, sounds complicated. Maybe you can try that. But remember, simple and clear communication is important with VO
It is a clearing and forwarding business, and after a two-minute interview, they hand you the pink paper without explaining why they've denied the visa. Seriously, why deny someone a transit visa or crew? While everything is clear, can they contact the US company to verify? Is that not corruption? They should refund the visa cost.

Hey coach
Since one year after completing my high school I've not done anything study-wise and now I wanna progress my undergrad study in the US.
So will the study gap hamper my chances of visa?
If so how to tackle it
@@Rhin199 all depends on if they ask about the gap year and how you explain it…
I was preparing for a competitive exam and besides my granddad passed on .
I really don't wanna use the second reason so maybe go with the first?

Hi, I have a doubt. In my Ds I said that the person who would finance my trip would be my brother but in my I 20 it says that my financial support comes from my family.
So if they ask me who is your financial sponsor, what do I say?
Be honest and make sure what you say matches your documents
Is your brother not a family? I don't even know why you guys ask these questions

If I had criminal record but rehabilitation has occured, will it still appear in the US system ?
@@VladBieltz criminal record from where?
@@chaiandcoaching from Romania. I gave a friend half a gram of coke and they charged me for drug trafficking. It was 7 years ago.
@@VladBieltz well you do need to answer questions about criminal record on visa application honestly
@@chaiandcoaching ok but its not like I am forever inadmisible, no kind of waver, agravated felony or whatever right ? I did it when I was 20 and I regret it.
@@VladBieltz yeah, it won’t be in US system from another country
at the end he said " if you just applied for DV it's not a problem", i did apply for DV 3 times and didn't get selected. Is that gonna be an issue?

Okay so in 2018 i was refused for a tourist visa to the US, which was to attend a competition.
Right now I will be going to the University of South Florida with their highest scholarship for international student. I guess i was refused before because i could not answer something about my father's job (well i was too young then).
All i wanted to know is, does the previous rejection affect my F1 visa now? If yes, then how do I prepare myself for it now?
Yup, it will have an impact. Watch our video on this situation of prior tourist refusal before a student visa interview.

I won the DV lottery in 2020 but 2 weeks before the interview, there was COVID-19 lockdown. I was never invited for the interview. Now I've gotten Graduate Assistantship to study for my master's, covering $36 000 out of the annual expenses of $41 000.
Is there anything I should be critical of prior to my interview?

Ben is so much amazing. The tips for Ben helped me alot. I took his advice about how interview response should focus on how studying in the US is important to home country and self. Also I took his advice on how to make sure of the first question ask. My F1 visa just got approved and I have less than 1 minute. I make my case strong from the first question.
VO: Where are you going in the US?
Me: I was able to name the University, my fully funded scholarship, my program and level of education, my research goals and my intentions to return to Liberia to have a senior lecturer position at the university of XY where I am currently employed.
VO: Who is sponsoring your program.
Me: l have a funded scholarship from Prof. XY research group and I will be a research assistant in that lab.
VO: But I am seeing personal funding on your I-20.
Me: Sure you are right. I am taking my family with me so I needed to provide fund to take care of them.
VO: Where are your family
Me: They are in my home country, Liberia
VO: How many children do you have
Me: XY number of children
VO: Sir your visa has been approved and you will get your passport in 10 days.
Me: Thanks with a simile 😅
I applied from a third country where I am currently pursuing my Master's degree.
Wish you all good luck to come. Thank Ben and this amazing team for helping with tips.

Hi. I had applied for the H1 B lottery earlier this year but got rejected. I already have a visitor visa since 2015. Do you feel like these might be red flags for the F1 interview
Was H1B rejected, or just not selected in lottery?

Hi. I am a F1 Visa applicant and I have my dependents (husband and 2 sons) Will the consul think that we'll be immigrating since I have to be with them while I study? Thanks.
Not necessarily, it’s ok to bring family with you on dependent visa
Thank you, the videos are amazing.
2 questions. I was accepted to Boston university with 35% scholarship and I wanted my close families to send the rest of the money which my parents can't afford to my mom. Is it okay if the money was transferred a month prior to the intrveiew?
And is a loan a bad choice of source of income for financing my education?
Education is fine and normal, very common
You can send for whatever works best for university, just make sure you have right documents showing all financials
Thank you again for the fast reply.
I will take "education" as "loan".
Yes my university accepts loans.
My fear was if the transfer to my mom's account will affect my VISA application? (since it will be in 1 or 2 months from the interview date). And I am from subsaharan Africa so they may be cautious on funding of the university.
Will I also need to bring details of bank statements for many months?
@@raiyehaile3825 yes, banks statements and proofs of funds for supporting education Journey is helpful too
Yes, *education loan* earlier

@@scopgee8123 you want your documents to all match. No, you cannot edit a DS-160 after you have submitted it. Instead, you'll need to fill out a new DS-160, pay the fee again, and book a new appointment.

Once you've completed the new DS-160, print out a new Appointment Confirmation Sheet to bring to your interview.

Yes, that can be an issue

My question is, Fall intake has already passed and now everybody is saying that visa approval ratio and scholarships are far more in Fall than in any other intake.
Is it really like that I wouldn't get scholarships from universities and wouldn't get my visa approved more likely for other intakes??
Waiting anxiously for your reply please!
Watch in our video on fall vs spring intake
Does visa officers have access to see my bank statements without asking for the document?
Nope, they only see what you give them
I have admission to university of Washington, but I didn’t get funding. Do I stand a chance of getting the visa? My father is my sponsor
Sure
how big of an impact does having 3 refusals from Canada have on my chances of getting an F1 Visa to the US? Canada was so cruel to international students this year :/
@@kindakomplicated4537 it shouldn’t have an impact unless they ask you about that specifically
@@chaiandcoaching and could an honest answer help my case? For instance if they ask about it and ask about how my situation has changed this is how i’d approach answering it (for context my most recent refusal reason was cause they weren’t convinced my application was consistent with a temporary stay) :
I’d say : yes i have been refused a study visa from Canada a few times before and one of the reasons i received was that my application wasn’t consistent with a temporary stay. Since then i have been fortunate enough to better my situation and get a Golden Visa (10 years) in my country of residence (the United Arab Emirates) and this visa allows me to return to the uae at any point for 10 years. Having acquired this visa strengthens my reason to return and assures that i don’t plan to overstay my visa in any way cause the UAE has been my home for the past 13 years of my life.
@@kindakomplicated4537 yes, always be honest with visa officers
@@chaiandcoaching alright! is this answer good?
@@kindakomplicated4537 sure 👍
