Hello, I will be renewing my visa for grad school. I’m currently filling out the DSO160 application, and I noticed that I can only add one funding source even though I have two. How do I let the embassy know that I will be having multiple sources of funding?
As you said, University reputation seems to matter quite a bit. Is there some ranking system that the visa officials follow or is it more arbitrary ? How decent would you say my chances would be if I am going to Texas A&M for a Computer Science MS degree ? Unfortunately, they do not release their scholarship decisions until June/July and my interview is probably gonna happen before that.
There is not special ranking system they use, more just based on common knowledge of quality of colleges Certain colleges have bad reputation that take advantage of F1 students so those are red flags they are looking for Texas A&M is just fine
Hi there! Hope you are doing well. Thank you for the informative video. A few queries regarding my visa interview. I got my F1 visa interview in about 20 days (planning for spring 24). 1) I applied to 2 universities in Usa and got acceptance from one and another being still on hold. so, what to say when the visa officer asks me about how many admits? will it be a problem ? 2) The amount in the i20 is about $39500 and scholarship of $4500 so the final amount is $35000. Coming to my funding it is $35000 from my family funds and $25000 loan from bank. Will it be a problem if my savings are more than loan. 3) I graduated in April 2023 and currently unemployed. So should I say I am woking on the courses related to my major like python. will it be okay? Thank you
Be honest about admits. Funding is fine as long as there is good proof of funds. That’s fine to say you are a recent grads and working on courses to prepare for next phase.

Good day I am due to start class 25 August for Fall of 2024. I am yet to book my visa appointment for july as the college/company sponsoring me delayed providing my proof of funds so i expect my i-20 by Tueday 25 June 2024, am i too late. Secondly my former employer which is a college is sponsoring my studies how do I justify why they chose to sponsor me. The only reason I have is that they want a subject matter expert in the field of cyber security and hence they are sponsoring me so that I come back home and apply these skills in training back at their college. Is that good enough

It's so funny though. Almost every officer knows that Students do not leave immediately and in fact there's a pathway to residence via F1>H1>GC. So I've never understood rejections based on intent to stay.
You'll easily get the visa, while on F1 you are paying US money, so there's literally no reason for them to reject, its only once you switch to OPT or H1B, you realize Canada or Germany was the right choice all along
I have applied to 1 University and got an admit. What if they ask how many universities have you applied? If I tell only one University does it affect my visa?
@@chaiandcoaching Hi I recently got accepted in a Bsc Nursing program in the USA. Though i already have a nursing degree here from my home country I simply applied for the same program because Nursing degree in the USA is more advanced. I had a visa interview and it was refused. Could studying the same program be a red flag to why I had a refusal. Watching from Zambia
Hello officer, I’ve been rejected twice but with the same university. In fact, this time I did change my sponsorship to myself. I’m a working professional and last time I kept my father as my sponsor and this time i changed it to myself and still I couldn’t secure visa. Does changes means only if we change university? I thought the same university would be best fit for me and due to which i did stick with the same uni. And i know officers would want me to have something change in my application so , i thought better to change sponsors rather than changing uni. While answering every question visa officer seems to be very friendly and polite. Each and every questions, I answered to visa officer, she heard that very calmly and I thought that i would get visa but in the end she replied that sorry. You can again apply. I would be grateful if you give your insight on this officer.
What were your visa interview questions and answers? I need more details before giving any feedback. Also, what is the college and degree, and funding situation?
Hi there! Thanks so much for the very informative video. I have my visa interview scheduled for next week. My biggest concern is the fact that I intend to switch industries / career change. I am admitted to a Master's program focusing on Entrepreneurship but my Bachelor's (taken here in my home country) is not really related to that. Would this be a red flag or should I just explain my career transition carefully?

apply for F1 visa from Nigeria , Yesterday there is massive denial in Nigeria . pls is Nigeria a reflags or is there any special screen to Nigeria student.
I am a Sri Lankan who studied PG in Austria and applied for B1 visa in Vienna and got rejected. Now I got an admission to UCI and filling D-160 and apply for F1 visa in Colombo Sri Lanka. In one section they asked "Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?" If I answer "yes", would it be a problem for visa approval?
Are MPower loans red flags? I got into Columbia Civil engineering ms program (I m from France) and took two loans with MPower for the first year and a third loan with my parents for the semester three. But I think my thrid loan will be approved just a bit after my appointment date and the other appointment dates are after the start of classes for Spring semester. I think I can ask for emergency appointment but I m not really sure if that applies I will have the chance to be hosted in NYC. Will a letter from my host be sufficient?
52:52 I have an F1 visa interview next month i am from Nigeria I applied once in Nigeria to study criminal justice in law enforcement but I was refused. Now I live in Dubai and I am having the interview here in Dubai to study same course in Tiffin University Ohio. I have also been working and did a diploma program in CNA and have certificate on BLS with American heart Association here in Dubai. Will this limit my chances of approval or increases it?
Thanks for responding. 1. Will my working here in Dubai and trying to do the interview from here affect my chances of visa approval? 2. For the fact that I have acquired some certificates here, can it boost my chances of approval?
@@maryleneonunwa334 sure it can, working abroad and have travel experience can be viewed in positive light, but you need to make sure you communicate that experience
Am a undergraduate student I have an F1 visa interview to do My AA program in nursing Will my interview be as same as those who going for phd, master or BSC
I was just listening to this and wondering, if a visa applicant is a graduate student who has received a full tuition waiver and will be receiving 2,500 USD as a monthly stipend.

Is it feasible that an officer could grant a visa to a candidate even though they truly believe they won't return to their native country? It may depend on a number of factors, including whether an officer likes an applicant based on his responses and any additional factors.

If your L1B visa was put into 221g due to lack of a letter to the o consular officer and then the consulate notified you to hand over your passport to issue a visa but then you didn’t since the company’s requirements changed and the visa was no longer required would that constitute a refusal or issued? But since you didn’t give your passport for stamping the visa was not issued so I am not sure what the answer would be in this case Any clarification would be helpful
If an F2 Visa applicant suffers from breast cancer and has to prevent from reengagement by post treatment specific safety procedures, would this clarification alongside with an official letter authorized by her oncologist in first country, be a reputable evidence that she will not try to change her Visa to F1 at US, since her major is chemistry? Will this illustration persuade the officer?
I have studied Chemistry in Iran. I have published some papers in my field which couldcnotribute me to get a PhD program admission from US. However, I do not intend to study PhD. I am a F2 Visa applicant now, and I am afraid that due to my academic background, visa officer suspect about my visa abuse and believe that I will change my visa state to F1 in the US. How can I persuade the officer that I will not study there, and how can I achieve my F2 visa without any suspicious problem. Also, recently I have survived from breast cancer and I believe that offering my medical documents to the officer will help me convincing him/her I will not try to change my visa state to F1 in the US for studying chemistry as my major.

So, I have been hearing so much about "Fully Funded" What does the embassy consider fully funded? My brother is in the middle of applying for his visa interview for a 2-year associate, he was only required by the school to show proof of funds for his first year which he already did. Does the embassy require that he shows proof of funds for the whole two years as against the one year the college requires?

Hello, I will be renewing my visa for grad school. I’m currently filling out the DSO160 application, and I noticed that I can only add one funding source even though I have two. How do I let the embassy know that I will be having multiple sources of funding?
you can make sure to share that during the visa interview
watching in Cameroon. good stuff

As you said, University reputation seems to matter quite a bit. Is there some ranking system that the visa officials follow or is it more arbitrary ? How decent would you say my chances would be if I am going to Texas A&M for a Computer Science MS degree ? Unfortunately, they do not release their scholarship decisions until June/July and my interview is probably gonna happen before that.
There is not special ranking system they use, more just based on common knowledge of quality of colleges
Certain colleges have bad reputation that take advantage of F1 students so those are red flags they are looking for
Texas A&M is just fine

Hi there! Hope you are doing well. Thank you for the informative video. A few queries regarding my visa interview. I got my F1 visa interview in about 20 days (planning for spring 24).
1) I applied to 2 universities in Usa and got acceptance from one and another being still on hold. so, what to say when the visa officer asks me about how many admits? will it be a problem ?
2) The amount in the i20 is about $39500 and scholarship of $4500 so the final amount is $35000.
Coming to my funding it is $35000 from my family funds and $25000 loan from bank. Will it be a problem if my savings are more than loan.
3) I graduated in April 2023 and currently unemployed. So should I say I am woking on the courses related to my major like python. will it be okay?
Thank you
Be honest about admits. Funding is fine as long as there is good proof of funds. That’s fine to say you are a recent grads and working on courses to prepare for next phase.

Good day
I am due to start class 25 August for Fall of 2024. I am yet to book my visa appointment for july as the college/company sponsoring me delayed providing my proof of funds so i expect my i-20 by Tueday 25 June 2024, am i too late.
Secondly my former employer which is a college is sponsoring my studies how do I justify why they chose to sponsor me. The only reason I have is that they want a subject matter expert in the field of cyber security and hence they are sponsoring me so that I come back home and apply these skills in training back at their college. Is that good enough

It's so funny though. Almost every officer knows that Students do not leave immediately and in fact there's a pathway to residence via F1>H1>GC. So I've never understood rejections based on intent to stay.
🤷♂️🤷♂️
You'll easily get the visa, while on F1 you are paying US money, so there's literally no reason for them to reject, its only once you switch to OPT or H1B, you realize Canada or Germany was the right choice all along

I have applied to 1 University and got an admit. What if they ask how many universities have you applied? If I tell only one University does it affect my visa?

Hello officer,
I’ve been rejected twice but with the same university.
In fact, this time I did change my sponsorship to myself. I’m a working professional and last time I kept my father as my sponsor and this time i changed it to myself and still I couldn’t secure visa. Does changes means only if we change university? I thought the same university would be best fit for me and due to which i did stick with the same uni. And i know officers would want me to have something change in my application so , i thought better to change sponsors rather than changing uni.
While answering every question visa officer seems to be very friendly and polite. Each and every questions, I answered to visa officer, she heard that very calmly and I thought that i would get visa but in the end she replied that sorry. You can again apply.
I would be grateful if you give your insight on this officer.
What were your visa interview questions and answers? I need more details before giving any feedback. Also, what is the college and degree, and funding situation?

As you know in Iran , national service for 2 years is mandatory in IRGC ( in banned list of USA) but I was a primary school teacher in those 2 years . 8 years ago .
Do you think I should edit and write the truth in that form ds160 ? Do I have any chance of getting a visa? Is it possible to edit ds160 at all ? Please guide me.

If your L1B visa was put into 221g due to lack of a letter to the o consular officer and then the consulate notified you to hand over your passport to issue a visa but then you didn’t since the company’s requirements changed and the visa was no longer required would that constitute a refusal or issued? But since you didn’t give your passport for stamping the visa was not issued so I am not sure what the answer would be in this case
Any clarification would be helpful
That’s complicated, I’m not sure about that, sorry. Please get help from an immigration attorney or the experts at Argo Visa for guidance. 😃
If an F2 Visa applicant suffers from breast cancer and has to prevent from reengagement by post treatment specific safety procedures, would this clarification alongside with an official letter authorized by her oncologist in first country, be a reputable evidence that she will not try to change her Visa to F1 at US, since her major is chemistry?
Will this illustration persuade the officer?
Sorry I don’t fully understand what you are saying. What is your goal? What are you trying to accomplish?
I have studied Chemistry in Iran. I have published some papers in my field which couldcnotribute me to get a PhD program admission from US. However, I do not intend to study PhD. I am a F2 Visa applicant now, and I am afraid that due to my academic background, visa officer suspect about my visa abuse and believe that I will change my visa state to F1 in the US.
How can I persuade the officer that I will not study there, and how can I achieve my F2 visa without any suspicious problem.
Also, recently I have survived from breast cancer and I believe that offering my medical documents to the officer will help me convincing him/her I will not try to change my visa state to F1 in the US for studying chemistry as my major.
