    1st update :- You can apply for US F1 visa 365 days prior to the start of your program that but you still can't enter USA 30 days before the start of your program date.
    2. The fees for DS-160 has been increased from 160$ to 185$.
    Now 5 TIPS
    1. Don't give one word answer at your F1 - Visa interview.
    The first question the visa officer is going to ask you is with some variations.
    Why are you going to study in USA?
    Do not talk about irrelevant things. Answer should be informational and helpful and do not ramble.
    2. Do not memorize responses?
    Have in mind top 5 things you want to say?
    They are experienced and they can quickly catch you.
    3. Establish a connection with the visa officer.
    Look them in the eyes. Look comfortable and Confident.
    Sometimes, visa officer is typing and not lookig at you but still you should do your best.

    Listening to the officers questions and establish that you are being authentic and your answer is distinctive.
    4. Don't change you school because it is not going to help you. Just prepare better for visa interview.
    5. Prepare to explain your funding.
    If you have a sponsor that's paying for you?
    What your relationship and why he is going to fund you?
    Develop a context.
    Remeber, if you will not satisfy him/her, he is going to fill in the blanks himself.

    Hi Mandy, thank you very much; the tips I learned from your videos really helped me with my interview, and I got my J-1. My program is fully sponsored by the U.S. Department of State (Fulbright). Also, the program fully sponsors my dependents, and I've received the DS-2019 for all of them. My concern is about their J-2 visa interview as my spouse can't speak English but my 13-years old kid can speak at an intermediate level. Due to closure of the U.S. Embassy in my home country, they need to apply to a U.S. Consulate in a third country. A recent J-2 denial under Section 214b - from the same program and country as me - scares me too about my dependents' case. I appreciate your advice in this regards so that they can well prepare for their interview.

    Hello Mandy. Just stumbled upon your content, it's really enlightening. Thank you. I have been denied twice and i have a 3rd interview coming up soon. My problem is that i stutter, which gets worse when i am tensed, and the interview environment is really tensed. (1) How do COs attend to applicants who stutter, do they automatically presume suspicion? Because in my last interview the CO didn't even make an effort to properly hear my answer, like asking me to repeat myself. He just took the little he could hear (which wasn't great if taken as a standalone answer w/out the complete answer) and typed on his computer (2) What is your advise for approaching this interview as a stutterer? I really tried to calm myself on that day but to no avail. I crumbled. Thank you.

    In 2013, my B-1 visa application was denied, followed by a denial of my F1 visa application in 2022. I had applied for the F1 visa from the country where I completed my undergraduate degree and was employed at the time. Additionally, my mother currently resides in the US under the "withholding of removal" status, and my brother has faced five rejections for a B-1 visa. Now, I have received admission to one of the top universities in the USA and I am considering reapplying for an F1 visa from my home country. Both of my rejections was under 214(b). Given these circumstances, what are the chances of my visa being approved this time?

    Hi Mandy, thanks a lot for this. I was wondering, if I'm going as a PhD student and have been granted a graduate teaching assistantship which pays for my tuition and pays me a monthly stipend to cover living expenses, do i still need to provide a bank statement from a sponsor or the assistantship is sufficient in that case?

    Hi Mandy, i was denied an F1 visa because my immediate family (Mom, Brother and sister) resides in the US. I want to reapply, but i fear this might still affect my chances of getting an approval?
    I would be eternally grateful to you if i get a response to this.

    Thank you so much. I was awarded a GA position but I applied to the University using my mother's bank statement. While the bank statement contains more than enough money to cover the remaining cost of my studies, my mother is now retired and earning $500 monthly in benefits. In addition, my sister who is an expatriate with the United Nations pays our mother $2000 every month to care for her grandchildren, but this is not a formal employment arrangement, so how do I navigate this tricky situation in my visa interview?
