I've often heard people say that approvals depend on the mood of the officer rather than a standard protocol and I can understand the same from this video. If that's the case, its so wrong and disgusting to let these people take life changing decisions for others.

[@YudiJ]

Yeah it’s unfortunate

[@harshitasingla1350]

Pww

[@Monsterenergy1000]

Yes, but that's the case only in few instances. In many cases, you might get rejected bcoz u might have a strong red flag which you won't even realize

Almost 90% of students in US have a scholarship or a RA or a TA, and as a result funding is not a problem, but if you are getting funded by a loan, or if your parents/sponsor earn less than 15lakh then its hard to get a US visa especially since the i20 amounts are all almost 60k+ nowadays
