[@SelamSeyoum-j3n]

i had a visa history with f1 visa in 2021 and i came back without finishing my course because of some health issues then now im trying to apply for university ...how the previous visa may affect the visa?

[@vinatgeephoenix]

I got my visa refused in Jan then I reapplied with a new I20 of a different uni for spring semester but I didn’t get a slot. Now I got a slot in May and I’ll have to get a new i20 for Fall 2024. How do I update this information in ds160. Only difference is of dates

[@darwesh929]

What happens if an applicant has a strong letter of support from university that he/she applied. Does that help to issue the visa?

[@KelechiFrancisca-lb9fm]

In my first interview, I was denied due to an inability to explain my intentions going to 🇺🇸, . I have rescheduled another interview. If the vo asks me what has changed, what should I say?

[@gaming_461]

Does 5years gap affect visa ??

[@AwaBajo]

Team argo, i have a question,the bank statement I submitted to the school i applied for my I-20 will be 6 and half months prior to my interview,will this affect me.

[@christine2090]

Hello, I am reaching out to seek advice on a second F1 visa application. Thank you for your help! 1. In my DS-160, there is a section asking me to explain any previous visa denials. Is it advisable to utilize this space to mention other factors I didn’t get to present in my interview? I’m considering explaining my specific career plans as proof of my home country ties, why I need a US degree, how I developed those career interests, and an 8-month career gap. 2. Would an informal recommendation letter from a potential employer in significantly help my second case? I don’t have an actual job offer but was considering asking the employer for a letter endorsing my candidacy for a future position.

[@Chinonxo]

Going for my second attempt on Monday 😶😶 Coming back here to testify

[@ArgoSocial]

Good luck!

[@geoffreyvaz5641]

I would like to ask the experts two questions. 1. Is it important to provide the contact person and contact details of my previous employer when filling up the form? 2. I get my salary from my new employer by cash, not cheque, not credited directly into my account. Instead, can I provide a letter from my employer showing exactly how much I earn?

[@user-rd7vf5ss9e]

If a current student got refused during renewal and needs to get back to school asap, but no more available slot in home country, can a third country be a good fit in this regard?

[@ArgoSocial]

Yes, but you need to be extra prepared. It will be harder to get approved outside of your home country in an ordinary situation and even harder if you have a refusal in your home country. We strongly recommend you book a session with an Officer on our team to get insights for this. You can book at www.argovisa.com.

[@doreenowusu]

Please I can manage i that situation easly

[@Jeanezechiel-mz8qk]

I got a question. if the embassade of the United States in my country is firm . I can pass the interview in a country that shares the same border .

[@Tariqshah-ql6sh]

Does the one-year gap affect the visa?

[@ArgoSocial]

It can! You need to be able to effectively explain the reason for your gap, what you did, and how everything fits into your plans.

[@BilalNoor-mj3ix]

Is ones age a factor in F1 visa approval?

[@yazanneaji1918]

It depends

[@ArgoSocial]

This can have an impact-- but it does depend on all of the factors of your case like type of degree or field of study.

[@faycheroo3659]

​@@ArgoSocialcan a 25yr old apply to a community college for a certificate course? Or that age will be a factor
