☕Chai Question: What location is your next visa interview?☕ 🔴Argo Visa Coaching & Free Visa Interview Checkup Tool: bit.ly/argovisainterview Talk to an ex-visa officer to get your questions answered! 🔘Visa Interview Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL0tvjihRHmP4mecnEFKvFtY8-vb4beRBq.html
I went for my student visa interview way back in 1983! We too had similar stories from back then, although no UA-cam to share them. It seems there is always one officer in every consulate who just rejects everyone. Back in my days, there was a black lady officer in Mumbai who I was told rejected every application. Then, a few days before my interview someone told me that she got transferred to Chennai - which made me happy. Anyway, the officer who conducted my interview in Mumbai did not ask me a single question; she was busy combing her hair and handed me the white slip and mumbled something like "pick it up at 4 pm". I wasn't sure what it meant, so I asked her to explain which she did with a smirk. Over the years, I found out that many of my friends who applied for a student visa in Mumbai were approved by her. God bless her.
It would be more appropriate to refer to the infamous "Chinese" officer as "Chinese American" officer, as he wouldn't become an American visa officer if he were just "Chinese".
You said it right. This guy was either ignorant or downright insulting when he addressed one US consulate office as Chinese and the other as American. Surprising that he is in the US with such a bad attitude
I don't think he had a bad attitude. People do not recognize the hyphenated American usage outside the US. He was simply using Chinese as a way to differentiate.
@Chai & Coaching 1. How did you get to know about this university? 2. What's your course 3. How many universities have you applied for? 3. Who's funding you? 4. When did you graduate, and what are you doing right now?
I don’t think there is any pattern that can be tied to a specific US consular officer, who approves or who rejects visa . There are lot of background checks that happens behind the scenes. They may not publish specific reasons of why they rejected any specific case. Each visa applicant’s case is unique. Addressing the officer with respect and being prepared to answer specific questions confidently helps. Besides, one needs to have a sound financial funding from the country of origin and strong ties back to your country will help the case as F1 is considered a non-immigrant visa. My 2 cents. - former F1 student, B1 visa and H1B visa holder and now an US citizen.

@@chaiandcoaching Thank so much for sharing the valuable information. I was also wondering whether it is advisable to say about our deferral to our officers when they ask about our year gap, or shd we just say that we have worked at a place and avoid saying about deferrals
This guy was an exception because he'd already been to a couple of countries before the US, especially Singapore which has a good reputation. I doubt he would have got his visa if that wasn't the case. It doesn't have much to do with your confidence or university.
As far as my understanding goes, consulate officers are always staffed by nationals from the country you are applying for. How does one counter have a Chinese officer and another have an American officer?
@@avijitshoma That makes some sense, but then again, what ethnicity is "American"? (Unless of course he/she is a Native American) Thinking about it more, I think it's just rooted in the world wide misunderstanding that White race/European ethnicity = American which is obviously far from the truth as you pointed out.
Divorce is never the way out, My wife and I have been having issues before I sort out help from a spiritual adviser,i wasnt going to let my marriage of 18years crash
See I have my 5 friends facing the same chinese officer and they all were approved. All five were f1. They all were approved in the same queue. So please Shardul it is a prejudice based conclusion that is being given about the Guy. He wont and neither he is grumpy. He is quick which means he is checking your confidence in less time. So what to do? Short but crux filled credible answers are needed by him. There is nothing about chinese or any other officer who reject just like that and so please dont dont dont worry. You keep a nice smile on your face, know your purpose of visit and why you deserve it, share your highlights. Say that along with your plan. And Booom see u are approved. My 5 friends did the same back to back. This may sound false but it happened. Believe it or not. Good luck to you all.
There is a officer in chennai like this, she is called as transcript lady, she asks for students transcript Then she takes a glance at the transcript and asks what is ur favourite subject and least favourite subject in undergrad and rejects😢
You should come to Kenya and interview people. You will hear heartbreaking embassy stories. I just wonder why people are charged so much money then dismissed on a whim by a consular officer who seems angry, for whatever reason
It's like people are dismissed without much consideration. Sometimes someone will just be asked; what's your name? When were you born? Visa denied! Surely what is that? Africa bears the brunt of consular officers who already have a mindset against us. I got my visa on the third trial. I tried the third time after 15 years. Applying for a visa in my country becomes a full-time occupation because of the hurdles we have to jump.
@@chaiandcoaching it is utterly heartbreaking for many. It's not easy for a regular African to afford USD 160 for the visa and so when they're barely given a fair hearing, it's really devastating. People literally pass out at the embassy because of the fear of being subjected to indignity by the visa officers. I work with a travel agency and obviously we handle visa applications. Daily I get to see seriously discouraged people. Yet for Americans it's so easy to go anywhere they wish. It's quite unfair
While the video shared the person's experience, It has racial bias by mentioning the consulate officer as Chinese. The reference is very wrong. The officer is an American citizen and not Chinese citizen. The candidate should have deferred from referencing the ethnicity of the consular officer. Most Asian decent have similar physical features and cannot be labelled as Chinese. The interviewer should have coached the candidate.
There used to be a Chinese professor at my University he like to fail many graduate students. So getting F in Graduate School means you are out of program. While preparing for my PHd written test , I went to him to ask one question. I had worked out the problem but wanted to verify the answer. Well I saw him struggling in solving the problem. Gosh if I was faculty in that having done so many times I could have easily done it. Yes he did solve it in front of me . So during my Phd written exam he set up questions. I had got 89 out of 100. He said I barely passed the Phd program because of 89. I told him I could have solved everything but due to lack of time I laid out steps how to do it in one problem. This professor never gave an A from what I hear from other graduate students. I probably scored highest or second among all his students. Since then I am disgusted with the education system. No other professors treated me well. But School is memorize and then put on paper The educational system is a joke. Einstein probably would laughing at it.
My only thought process in all these is how will they vet the teachers/professors so that they don't do racial profiling on students ? USA is totally a different system, how do we know if they are neutral or partial? The way the marks of each students are held close to the heart and also students don't meet each other again in next semester all make up for tough evaluation on professors. This is just a thought process to safeguard a student's career.
There are white, black, and colored people, this apart students come from different countries and each is a case of geopolitics for the educational institution
@@chaiandcoaching His question was why do u want to go to the US. As I started to speak he gave the slip to me and I was in shock as it was not more than 15 to 20. seconds.
I will have my B1/B2 VISA interview in The Gambia in two weeks. I have a good travel history to Europe, Asia, and other parts of Africa.

The same thing happened with,i went for C1D visa and interviewer asked me only a question and he rejected me,and that time I couldn't say anything,i wanted to argue with him
Hey! Thanks a lot I find your video very helpful but I would like to share my experience with you it's so relatable Even I got the female Chinese officer at the same counter no.(34) at Mumbai consulate(5th August 2022) and even I too asked her to pardon a question for 4 times😅😅 And she was like why am standing infront of her but unfortunately I got rejected
Hi what happened in the second time. Approved? I have a similar case. I got refused for section 214b during 5 th March 24. Now I have booked an appointment again. I have an interview in another 2 days. Can you share the questions?
Can i please get this chinese guy for my visa interview? I hate travelling but my job requires traveling to various countries. I NEVER want to see beautiful places. Traveling for 17 hrs sitting straight and stiff in a chair without any scope of movement!! Any economy flight that exceeds 50 min is already too much!
VISA EXPERIENCE Attempt 1 Consulate:- Chennai Appointment Time:- 10 am In time:- 9:30 am Out time:- 10.15 am University:- Northeastern University Boston Course:- Engineering Management Looked like Asian American men Status: Approved✅ VO : Gm Me: Gm Officer Can I remove my mask VO: Sure u can Meanwhile he asked for passport and i20 Place your right hand four fingers on the scanner VO: So what course ur doing at NEU Answered VO: what was ur undergrad major As I was answering he interrupted VO: ur undergrad is different, how it is related to MEM Answered VO: what subjects in Engineering Management u have Answered Ur visa is approved and said something and gave a white slip I said thank you and he nodded his head. He approved all the people in front of me.
They make it very tough for hardworking well deserving indians to get into the US but they can't stop thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the Mexican border....crazy
No offence, but do you know how many students get rejected even after answering confidently, and having strong financials etc ? I know there will be a ton of them. Also do you know the mediocre to poor applicants who do terribly and still get visas ? There will be a ton and I have seen such interviews. There are a lot of factors that are taken into consideration to grant visa and ofcourse officers mood is also a major factor. I'd advice folks who get rejected despite everything that goes well from their side not to loose hope and keep trying again and again and also have a Plan B and Plan c without fail.
Hey! Thanks very much for all of your helpful videos. I was in the US since Aug 2022 but when I was coming back to India after almost a year to see my parents, my passport was lost and then stolen in Chicago. There are barely any videos about getting a new or replaced one. Also, is there any quick process so that I can fly? Also, I am appointed as an RA of my university dorm and I do not want to miss this golden opportunity. Please help! :)

@@chaiandcoaching Don't know how they do it India as I was in China and had a very experienced vendor with me, to help out. I answered 2 basic questions, had my finger prints taken and that's it. Second time, I didn't even visit them.I got my visa 3-4 days later
I had my visa interview in Mumbai and fortunately i got into counter-26 and got my visa approved but that day in the 34 counter they was an African American who was rejecting everyone
@@chaiandcoaching my interviewer asked every kind of questions like 10 or maybe 12 Cause I switched stream from mechanical to computer science. My interview was in dec 2022 and I’m in the US for the past five months
I have my ofc and have my flight scheduled 3 hours after the allotted time of 3:30 pm. I wanted to get the ofc done well before the flight, so I plan to go at 1 o clock. Will it work?
I did find it after Google search that you are referring to University of Texas at Dallas. Sorry. I have lived in US for 45 years and had not heard of UTD and that is why I asked that question.
One black danger looking guy with long hair may be he is African origin guy in Mumbai rejecting lot of student USA visa without any reason... May be he is daily fighting with her wife after fighting with her wife he is direct coming to office may be this big reason why he is rejecting student visa.
@@ThuGLiFe-ur5ts The VFS is there to just collect your documents. They then send everything to embassy and you should receive an email ( from the embassy ) for the interview withing 1-3 weeks after submitting your application.
Today also my rejecte the us c1D visa from Mumbai i am facing Chinese officer counter no 32 he is very bad man language not loudly pls remove the Chinese officer
@@chaiandcoaching He used to be one of the easiest or the hardest people to get through. Either you're through in 2 questions or get rejected in those 2 questions. This is from my experience in the fall - of 2021. Almost 95 out of 100 times those questions were related to the financial aspect of your planning.
@@chaiandcoachingwhy would he refer the officer as Chinese? Is it because of their Asian look? If yes then that needs to be corrected as Asian American officer. Even if the officer definitely has Chinese roots, they still should be referred to as Asian American as only US citizens can become Consular officers. I don’t think Kamala Harris will be referred to as Indian Vice President.
This guy explaining his Visa interview experience has the audacity to use Infamous Chinese Officer. These kind of fellows should be BANNED from entering the US for Life time for making such scathing remarks.
@@chaiandcoaching There's no such word as STANDED, in any dictionary. It is STOOD. The guy who's talking about communication skills is a blooming FOOL who I guess has his SELF STYLED DICTIONARY exclusively for words created and founded by him.

Hi what happened in the second time. Approved? I have a similar case. I got refused for section 214b during 5 th March 24. Now I have booked an appointment again. I have an interview in another 2 days. Can you share the questions?
@@uday6150 approved
Can i please get this chinese guy for my visa interview? I hate travelling but my job requires traveling to various countries. I NEVER want to see beautiful places. Traveling for 17 hrs sitting straight and stiff in a chair without any scope of movement!! Any economy flight that exceeds 50 min is already too much!

What undergraduate specialization CS , ECE or what??

They make it very tough for hardworking well deserving indians to get into the US but they can't stop thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the Mexican border....crazy
😮😬
I didnt receive any white slip after the interview but the officer took my passport will that be a problem ?
Maybe, I’m not sure. You should double check on that
No offence, but do you know how many students get rejected even after answering confidently, and having strong financials etc ? I know there will be a ton of them. Also do you know the mediocre to poor applicants who do terribly and still get visas ? There will be a ton and I have seen such interviews.
There are a lot of factors that are taken into consideration to grant visa and ofcourse officers mood is also a major factor.
I'd advice folks who get rejected despite everything that goes well from their side not to loose hope and keep trying again and again and also have a Plan B and Plan c without fail.

Hey! Thanks very much for all of your helpful videos. I was in the US since Aug 2022 but when I was coming back to India after almost a year to see my parents, my passport was lost and then stolen in Chicago. There are barely any videos about getting a new or replaced one. Also, is there any quick process so that I can fly? Also, I am appointed as an RA of my university dorm and I do not want to miss this golden opportunity. Please help! :)
You can watch our video about losing your passport
@@chaiandcoaching Thanks for the response! But it doesn’t tell us the process to get a new one though :-)

Just try to articulate your words very well. Most students are anxious and panics hence why they mess up and don’t get there visa approved.

The officer could anywhere from Asia. He could be Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese.. etc 😂

The rejection can happen at the counter itself? Schengen, one doesn't know till much later.
Oh really? How does it work there?
@@chaiandcoaching Don't know how they do it India as I was in China and had a very experienced vendor with me, to help out. I answered 2 basic questions, had my finger prints taken and that's it. Second time, I didn't even visit them.I got my visa 3-4 days later

What is UTD? Is it even a real school?
What do you mean?
I did find it after Google search that you are referring to University of Texas at Dallas. Sorry. I have lived in US for 45 years and had not heard of UTD and that is why I asked that question.

One black danger looking guy with long hair may be he is African origin guy in Mumbai rejecting lot of student USA visa without any reason... May be he is daily fighting with her wife after fighting with her wife he is direct coming to office may be this big reason why he is rejecting student visa.
Oh really?
What about poland national employment visa interview 😊
What about it?
@@chaiandcoaching is there any interview VFS global
@@ThuGLiFe-ur5ts I’m not sure about that, sorry!
@@ThuGLiFe-ur5ts The VFS is there to just collect your documents. They then send everything to embassy and you should receive an email ( from the embassy ) for the interview withing 1-3 weeks after submitting your application.

Today also my rejecte the us c1D visa from Mumbai i am facing Chinese officer counter no 32 he is very bad man language not loudly pls remove the Chinese officer
Very sorry to hear that! What were your questions?
First learn to speak English properly.
what about the bald guy, is he there anymore?
🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@chaiandcoaching He used to be one of the easiest or the hardest people to get through. Either you're through in 2 questions or get rejected in those 2 questions. This is from my experience in the fall - of 2021. Almost 95 out of 100 times those questions were related to the financial aspect of your planning.

Chinese officer in us consulate??? Hmmmmm
Only if u look white u r called american??

I Have Been Rejected Under 214B By Chinese Lady Officer
Sorry to hear that! What happened?
Chinese officer? Asian American person? Oh god please.
what do you mean?
@@chaiandcoachingwhy would he refer the officer as Chinese? Is it because of their Asian look? If yes then that needs to be corrected as Asian American officer. Even if the officer definitely has Chinese roots, they still should be referred to as Asian American as only US citizens can become Consular officers. I don’t think Kamala Harris will be referred to as Indian Vice President.
@@jibin7277 yes, the correct term would be Asian America, but everyone in Indian refers to them as the infamous Chinese visa officer
Chinese cannot become an American visa officer.
Correct
Asian American. US is a country of immigrants. Chinese Americans have been in the US since the 1800s.

Can anyone check what's the word used by this guy between time 4:40 to 4:46. Is it STANDED? Sounds crazy from where this guy picked this up.
“Standed in the queue” aka stood in the queue
@@chaiandcoaching There's no such word as STANDED, in any dictionary. It is STOOD.
The guy who's talking about communication skills is a blooming FOOL who I guess has his SELF STYLED DICTIONARY exclusively for words created and founded by him.
@@chaiandcoaching STANDED HAS NO MEANING!!!
