The entire interview system is flawed , how can one decide the intentions of a person in just 2minutes ? The judgment of the officer can also be biased and flawed , the pressure of making rapid decision of selection and rejection within specific time frame can result in brain fatigue resulting in false judgement there’s just so many variables involved beyond our control and reach .. and this lady here is scamming people out of their pockets just like us embassy

My husband (F2) had a previous marriage record at the embassy when he applied for B1/B2 (he applied twice with married as his marital status), he was denied all attempts in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, he got separated. And In 2019 we met, and got married 2022. Is it important to raise this in the interview? Like should we tell the officer even if we are not asked after the previous marriage? Pls Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey Mandy , I’m from South Africa and I went for my J1 visa Yesterday and got denied but I can not figure out why, he asked me what I do for work and I told him I’ve been working in a contact centre for 3 years and also doing some volunteering work at a preschool. He also asked me if I’m still studying , I explained to him that my bursary did not pay in time so I had to drop out because I could not fund my fees at the time. He asked me who I lived with , I told him my mother and my aunts , he asked what my mother does and I told him that my mother is currently unemployed and I am supporting the family. Please advise me on where I went wrong and how to improve it for next time. I would book a consultation but it’s a bit costly for me in my currency😢

You should update the Application ID number if possible. If not, reach out to the Embassy or Consulate where you plan to apply to make sure they have the most recent Application ID number.

Does can I apply bachelor degree at age 24

[@ZFvisa]

Absolutely, but you’ll need to explain why you waited to start your degree, and why you are starting it now. Take a look at our online courses at www.zfvisaguides.com - we give you all the guidance you need to prepare.

It may complicate your interview slightly - you'll need to convince the visa officer that you're going to the US to study, and not for some other reason. Take a look at our online student visa courses at www.zfvisaguides.com for more details about how to prepare.

Do visa officers do research about some information you give during interview in their computers?

[@ZFvisa]

Sorry to hear that! Assuming you were denied under 214(b) and not something more serious, you can generally reapply at any time. Note that you should be honest about your previous refusal and come prepared to explain your situation in detail. Take a look at our online student visa guides at www.zfvisaguides.com for more information.
