8:28 very important point. I always thought if I answer for a long time, the visa officer will be annoyed and will reject me. But now I understand the difference between a full answer and a long answer.

[@tommylawal7622]

Thank you soo much i gott my visa approved in my first trial just from listening to 3 of your videos constantly which made the consular fall in love with me because my first response made us in a good mood we lauhed alot and she was cracking jokes with me till she gave me the visa, she was soo nice to me regarding she rejected the person before me.. Thanks alot argo. With the help of God I was approved. I would definitely recommend you guys to ppl... Thanks so much my first trial... Thanks alot.

Hello ! I was planning to go to United States on F1 visa. Due to the delays of appointments, It will me delay start of classes. I am thinking that it can affect my visa approval due to those delays of Visa Appointment date while classes have started. My question is , if I change from Fall to spring so that Visa Appointment date could be without delays , do you think it can affect my visa approval due to the change of semester?

[@ArgoSocial]

Due to the current wait times, it's becoming increasingly common for students to have to defer their start date or admission. Since the wait time are so long, you really need to focus on getting your visa approved as it will be difficult to get another interview slot.

[@chuksezike2181]

Pls what is the correct answer to ‘will you be visiting your family in the US?’ If you have family in the US

Before 6 months ago I took F1 visa interview but refused. I think the causes my be my travel history. March 07, 2023, I traveled from my home country to other country with proper exit and entry border immigration stamps from both countries. However, when I returned to my home country via border bus transport, I did not receive stamps immigration offices. As a result, my passport lacks a stamp for my return journey. Does it can be the cause for my visa refusal? Is renewing a new passport may solve this issue?

This was what I told the Vo in Nigeria embassy but she immediately deny me, I asked her why was I refused and she said nothing has change. 😔 I think different vo have different point of view .

Hi ben, hope that you are doing great. I have recently found out your videos on youtube and found it so helpful. I am preparing for my first visa interview. I have applied for masters degree in SAP financing. I had 3.78 CGPA in my bachelor graduation. Currently, I am working in banking sector for last 5 years and had no gaps after my graduation. The total cost of course I am applying is around $30500, that is I think a bit higher. The course doesn't even provide any scholarship but it is entitled with CPT(curriculum practical trainings) that mean we can find a paid internship program for funding our courses. I have a doubt if higher cost of this course would be any reason for my visa denial. For funding I have some saving from my 5 years working also my spouse is engaged in banking sector and had a grocery shop in my house owned by my brother. Is this funding and CPT enough for funding my course?
