    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

    • @chaiandcoaching
      @chaiandcoaching  7 місяців тому +3

      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.

Now I’m thinking of applying for a study visa for masters as I have my degree and a good amount of work experience. Do you think my previous rejection could have an impact on my f1 visa? Should I disclose my sisters on the f1 visa form?

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?

    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.

    • @chaiandcoaching
      @chaiandcoaching  Рік тому +6

      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

    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.

    Hi I’m from Ghana and I’ve been accepted into undergraduate program in Albright College and my parents are going to cover my tuition and other expenses and I have 35% of my tuition covered by scholarships. But here is the case I’ve been denied twice visitors visa and I’ve have my F1 visa interview next month. Will the twice deniers visitors visa affect my F1 visa approval. This is actually giving me nightmares and I need your help

    Hey!! Well done on the video, it was great hearing from you guys. I wanted to ask on your thoughts as my situation is complicated. I moved to the US as minor with no choice but to follow my parents and over stayed. I then left when I was a minor knowing if I wanted to get back the penalty would be less. Now I'm a an adult and I have been accepted to college and applied for the F1 visa. How is the officer going to react to my 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
