    If you are a regular passenger we designate it faster than you can imagine. The main reason we are making these inspections are not regular passengers(can't load information). And we catch the selectees 95% of the time. So you're just on a trip with valid documents, be simple and collected and itl take 30 seconds :))

    Many cross questions were asked about my sister who is working there and they also asked my father's business details. I was fully prepared and didn't let myself be nervous at the interview.

    I feel US visa interview process is inconsistent and based on the mood/bias of the visa officer (they are humans after all). There are times people who should have gotten the visa never did (and vice versa). That's one of the small reasons why people from 150+ countries all over the world are willing to pay cartels who literally own the southern border to get them across. Current open border policy is much more guaranteed. Without immigration reform including the whole process of getting visas, the status quo won't change.

    I guess the question I want to ask is, is there a scenario where giving to much information is detrimental to your interview?

    well yea a successful person has no problem providing as much information as possible. In your scenario the person's father owns their own business and several rental properties - that's easy & confident to explain. What if your mother is the person selling eggs on the street in your other example? That will make a visa officer think very differently of you vs the other example, so people would not want to explain as much what their mother does.

    Hi Ben, I have one question to ask, but first, I want to acknowledge the effort you put into giving us a context on what goes inside a visa officers head when doing an interview; the question is how do we determine the exact reason we were rejected besides the common information provided on the blue paper they pass you post the interview?

    • @ArgoSocial
      @ArgoSocial  Рік тому +2

      Thank you! Unfortunately, that is something that is very hard to figure out. Many people think its based off of what the last question is, but that's not necessarily the case. What it really comes down to is if the Visa Officer thinks you qualify for the visa and will use it appropriately.
      That's where Argo comes in. Since we have made thousands of decisions on visa applicants, we can give you the best assessment on what caused your refusal. IT really is a personal case-by-case situation that's really difficult to determine on your own.

    Good information. Can I be denied a visa because my passport indicates the color of my as dark brown and yet they are black? I asked the issuing office and they said it doesn't matter!

    Thank you so much for this video. My wife was recently and we were thinking maybe it is because she used her passport which was bearing her maiden name. I want to inquire if it is necessary for my wife to change the name on her Nigerian passport (which is her maiden name) in order to apply for an F2 visa as my spouse. Her passport still bears her maiden name but she is now married to me. Does she need to process a new passport that will reflect my surname or she can still use the passport she got before getting married to me? She has affidavit and news paper publication that indicates her change of name though.
    Thanks for your attention.
