@@kuldeeptanwar2897 Please don't worry. Fill out a new DS160, and once your current case gets closed, apply for a new visa slot. There are chances that you may not get an appointment this fall, and you might need to defer admission to the spring. Getting a refusal slot is very difficult.

[@Mayurdusane]

​@@TaranWaraich-g2d Hi !! A few tips from me: Understand the question and answer to the point. Only give additional information if asked for it. If you didn't hear questions properly, ask VO to repeat them. That is totally fine. I did that, too. About the last study: Try to avoid mentioning marks, but a valuable addon is to mention the course name. About Gap: Stay calm and avoid talking about culture. Make the best story out of it as much as you can, and it should connect to all the answers you are giving. Also, avoid long explanations. Make it a maximum of two short statements. What your husband do: Do not mention earnings unless VO asked for it. Just mention the profession. Where is he living?: Mention like this He is living with me, city and state rather than just country name. What can you expect? You could mostly get questions around your previous interview. Your intent should be very clear about studies. Very important: Make a story centered around your intent for doing the particular course you are going for. Make sure everything is connected.

In DS160, there was the question: Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry? And below that there is another question saying explain: In the explanation I've just added that MY F1 VISA HAS BEED REFUSED ON 7TH ON JULY 2023. Just keep in mind that: The reason for rejection was not explicitly stated, and we are not in a position to provide a definitive answer. However, if the VISA officer asks you about you can just say that since it was your first interview you were nervous and unable to answer properly but now you are confident.

[@Mayurdusane]

This is the exact answer from notes, which were created with the help of my Visa counsellor. What has changed since your previous visa rejection? Yes my visa got rejected under 214 b. Since it was the first time, I was nervous and I was not able to convey why I’m doing masters after 5 years of work experience as well as my qualifications so far.

Due to nervousness i could not tell him that i have given english proficiency test , got defer and all .And , i got rejected under 214 b actually the visa officer got impatient at that time while repeating the same questions .he was in his late 40 s . Is there any chance of acceptance again with the same profile if i ll give my interview as my classes will commence on 21st of August,2024.

[@Mayurdusane]

You don't need to say you've taken an English proficiency test; it is already assumed. You need to understand the question asked by VO, so be very attentive while he asks it. Then, you just need to answer so that he will understand. Keep it very simple as a conversation. Forget that it is an interview. Think like you are talking to your new friend. You must often work on mock interviews so you won't be nervous again in the following interview. Ask family/friends to conduct your mock interview.
