Hello sir, thank you for this video, really helpful. I am looking forward to apply for my F1 visa in September.

[@hilove3494]

Hello Friend, I already filled out the visa application but having a hard time to make appointment for interview date. My question is which one do u select when you try to make appointment for visa? The following are the options. 1. Passport services other than adding pages. 2. Report the birth abroad of a child of a U.S. citizen and/or apply for the child's first passport. 2. Request notarial and other services not listed above. Thank You in advance!🙏🏾

its humiliating what they do , they can keep their F visas , I've been in USA before it's not worth the time and humiliation they give when you go for the interview, even if you do everything right you still get denied , if they think they doing such a good job, Why are there still immigrants living in usa

Hi sir. I currently work in Nigeria as a supply chain manager at my fathers manufacturing company. To expand my knowledge I am looking to pursue a masters in Supply chain management from the US. Post my studies I am open to two options , either joining back my fathers business in Nigeria, or I am looking to expand into a new manufacturing business (already know the field) in my home country India. I wanted to know if being an Indian, I mention that I plan to return to the business in Nigeria, will this be a problem? My father is in Nigeria since 20 years and I have done most my school from there too. (I will be giving my visa interview for F1 in India for fall 2022) Thanks in advance

They mainly asked about my academic background and how/why it led me to choose the school/program. Just get your facts right and most importantly be honest! For example, have you been denied before? (I was asked this question) If you have, answer truthfully and state the reason. Also, just like the video mentioned, make sure you tell your own story because that is unique to you and no one else. Let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck to you and let me know how it goes!

Hello Team Agro, I'm an F2 Visa applicant. Previously, I have been denied Visa. However, I have applied for another one(F2). In my previous interview, VO asked of I what I do as job and I said I'm a fashion designer, although I wrote "learning fashion designing " in my DS-160. I sense this might be one of the red flags. Please, guide me on a better way to package my job? Secondly, I indicated I'll be staying for 6 months whereas my I-20 reads 2021-2026. This, I guess, could be another red flag. Please guide/advise me on how to go about those grey areas in my next interview. Thanks.
