Dear sir, i have applied for scholarship but they refused to give me scholarship because my grades didn't meet requirements. Does it make me any trouble in interview ?
@@silencespeaker2336 not necessarily, but now you need to show good proof of funds
I am having tution fees of 24 lakhs along with my living expenses and my sponsor is my father and I am showing bank balance of 30 lakhs. Is that enough? Or should I should I add up to it like my father have 4 acres of land and additionally I am also taking a loan? Btw does having loan makes you look like you are not having good finance3es?.@@chaiandcoaching

Hey..thanks for sharing your experience with us. I stay in New Delhi and would be applying from the same city preferably. I have two primary concerns:
1. Although my program is a very busy one and there would hardly be time to work while studying. But is it okay to mention that you may take up an on-campus job (if available), to help you pay back the loan interest while you’re in school? Or should you avoid showing interest in work during the school completely?
2. If the appointment wait time in New Delhi is longer than that in Chennai or Kolkata, can I change my appointment consulate after submitting the application? And does it make a difference if you are applying at a different city from what you mentioned before?
Thanks!
On campus jobs are fine since they are legal. Any location for visa interview is fine.

How was it? What were the questions and answers?
my view is reason for first rejection was not credit hours answer but OPT and interest to gain practical experience.This was corrected in 2nd interview
👍
I agree, OPT and funding as well. As questions about siblings also asked

Hi Nikita,
Very insightful video can you please tell me what was your answer when he asked why 2nd masters? I’m asking this because I do have a 2nd masters. Will be really helpful if you could reply.
Did she not share in the video?
Jai, I mentioned it in the video but I’ll reiterate I had a 3 year undergrad and to be considered for a phd in the US they generally look at a 16 year education so 12 years in school and 4 years as an undergrad.
I wanted to apply for a PhD but fell short by one year hence the 2nd master (which I would fast track into the PhD program) if that makes sense

I have my interview on 2nd august . I’m pursuing my bachelors in psychology though my undergrad program is nursing n i have gap years like 4 yrs as i was working as a nurse in those time my primary sponsor is going to my be my uncle so this might trigger them as I’m from single parent family soo could u help with this please.
Let the consulate know that your uncle has been of great support because you’re from a single parent family, he helped and sponsored for your undergrad program and he’s willing to help you pursue your dream of becoming a psychologist. Also include that he’s been very successful at (the work he does) and has been of great help to the family financially.

How did you end up

But when I check in the passport tracking portal it is still showing issued even after rejection. After rejecting me they gave my passport back with the white slip. My passport had the US visa printed but It was scribbled from the top showing they cancelled it.

Very useful, honestly seems like she talked a lil too much when she gave the interview
👍☕️
What if she got rejected on the third interview? In such a case is she allowed to go to the US as she has got approved in her second attempt?
A rejection is a rejection, but I guess I don’t understand your question…
@@chaiandcoachingAs she says that her visa got approved in her second attempt. However, she got full scholarship from University of Texas at Dallas. Therefore, she decided to go for her third interview. I wanted to ask that if she was rejected in her third attempt, would she be able to go the US from her previous i-20 as she has already got her visa approved in her second attempt?
@@pratikjung8346 good question, not sure
I’m guessing whatever the most recent ruling or visa status is given will be the one observed

does telling the visa interviewer about working off-campus during studies have bad impact?
Well that is technically illegal…

I’ve got admission in MBA at Webster. Is it OK to say in interview that my real brother is going to sponsor me who is a senior bank manager ?
Sure
25 minutes? I thought interviews were maximum 5 minutes.
Yeah, so long!
can i get f1 visa granted with 2.4 gpa from Nepal?
Do you have college admits?
Hi, I was rejected twice, and now i have to shift my admission till spring 2024... I was asked about my sponsor (who's my uncle), i was also asked my post graduation plan (which i said it's to take up a lecturing job at my almamata. I was also asked what i was doing at the moment (i replied that i just finished my compulsory one year service to the country, we call it NYSC here and that I've taken up a research assistant job at my almamata...
These were the questions that came up in both interviews.
In the first interview, i was asked if i had a relative in the US , of which i said NO immediate relative,, prior to that i wrote on my DS-160 that i have other relative not immediate relative in the US...
What do you think could be wrong? And In my next interview, what do tou think i should add or remove
Rejection could be from lots of different factors…
-sponsor
-family in usa
-home ties
-future plans

@@chaiandcoaching right my bad but , I'm here because I got rejected in Hyderabad consolate on 7th December
It is a scam. This is so sad. The students put so much effort and pay so much to the US for these interviews and are rejected on a whim by consular officers. That some eventually after many more fees, etc. are accepted says it all. The system has to be better.
What ideas do you have to make improvements?
@@chaiandcoaching Good question. It seems that Consular officers are faced with a tough and impossible job.
Giving hundreds of very short interviews per week while under pressure to process as many as possible as fast as possible. How is it possible to properly vet applications this way to ferret out fraud and immigrant intent?
As it appears to wind up to be a subjective process in the end for the officer to get the job done, this may mean that legitimate and serious applications are rejected but those well-positioned and with immigrant intent can slip through.
Maybe Congress can relieve consular officers (who surely have lots of other duties) this task and budget for visa specialists to conduct this work? Allowing more time, effectiveness and efficiencies?
Just a thought from the armchair. :)
@@elaine5953 👍☕️😁
I had my visa interview on july 11th 2023 at the Kolkata Consulate, my interview lasted for 30 seconds and i got approved.
The officer only asked 2 questions. I guess it got approved so quickly because i was going to study at BROWN university. At the end of the interview the officer told me “congratulations, welcome to Rhode Island” ❤
wahoo! what were the questions and answers?
What are the 2 questions?
Chai, tell me please how do you think the visa officer will think about this answer ( F1 visa, study English)
- Why USA ?
As I recently obtained my bachelor's degree in automation engineering, i have set a plan of pursuing a double master's degree in Dubai. However, one of the mandatory requirements for admission is a minimium toefl score of 80. To meet this requirement. I have chosen to enroll in a specialized TOEFL program in the USA. The decision allows me to simultaneously study english at connect english while completing my first year of master's studies through distance learning. I talked with my department head, BRAHIMI Nouzha, and she was fully agreed of achieving both Algerian and international diplomas since I'm a serious student with a very good grades. By effectively managing my time, I will return to Algeria after achieving the desired TOEFL score and complete my master's exams and also graduation. And then apply for a master's degree in engineering management in DUBAI. By having a master's degree in automation and industrial informatics, and another master's in engineering management will alow me to become a project manager in an Algerian company to engage with international clients.
Sounds good 👍
