I have made a mistake on my departure from the USA 🇺🇸 instead of saying 2028 I made it 2025 how can I go back and change it from the DS 160 because on my i20 it’s 2028 and can that be a big problem for me?

[@chaiandcoaching]

You can’t change DS-160 once submitted. You can share that during the interview or you will need to reapply with a fresh DS 160.

I am a citizen of Armenia. I have an interview for b-1 b-2 scheduled in August. I have read that rejection rate is over 50% for Armenian citizens, the only countries with higher rates are Afhganistan, Iran and Somalia. Does that mean I will be automatically refused a visa? I have been to the US 20 times on b-1 b-2, but with a different passport.

[@chaiandcoaching]

@@Funduk-i9w not necessarily, but sounds like you need to be really prepared. Watch our b1/b2 video for tips

My interview is in a few days and I applied for an F1 visa. I have watched some of your videos in preparation for my interview and I saw that one of the red flags is having a relative in the US. I have a relative in the US. So how do I go about showing the person interviewing me that I am planning on coming back to my home country, even if i have a relative in the US?

[@chaiandcoaching]

@@NatashaMumba-wb6mx it’s about home ties. Need proof for home ties. Watch our visa interview playlist for more tips. Also, you can also take the free visa interview checkup quiz to see how you score and how the visa officer will likely respond: bit.ly/argovisainterview

Is it a good idea to mention the fact that I choose a university because it’s relatively affordable compared to other r1 research universities?

[@zarifadel4229]

Definitely that's a good point but have other reasons as well like " they are all great research universities but this particular one provides the best R1 research opportunities at an affordable price"

[@chaiandcoaching]

@@therealbro21 yes, but will need more personal reasons too

Hi, i was refused 3 times for F1 visa in India for stuying associate degree in music. Now i want to go to Masters in music and i own a music school from the last 5 years and after the rejection i travelled to 8 countires including UK and i own a property. Do i need to really try for f1 visa again or leave it and try for tourism to visit us someday. Please ask this question. Thanks in advance

[@chaiandcoaching]

@@musictheory137 all depends on what your goals are. You can always reapply but you will need a new strategy. Coaching and visa interview prep could really help.

Hello, I have accidentally uploaded a 4-year-old photo where I am noticeably slimmer, younger and have more hair, on DS-160 application for b-1/b-2 visa. Can I get rejected because of this issue? Will it help if I bring my current photo to the interview and provide it if asked?

[@chaiandcoaching]

@@Aman-bawa no, why?

[@Aman-bawa]

@@chaiandcoaching bcz I have heard from ex visa counselor that interview should be atleast 15 days before program starting date. Otherwise there would be more chances of visa rejection . 90 percent chances of visa rejection. Is it true?
