[@artinasabzevarzadeh4014]

It was the most useful video about F1 visa that I've already watched It was fascinating !!!!

[@Ahmad_9134]

29:30 I don't think that's what she was asking for, The US they don't care what we do, when we do, gap years Gap concept is a very very Indian cultural thing. We don't belive in the concept of gap during educational or when working, If you take a gap, people around us presume your life is over cause you took a gap year. We don't have a concept of educational break, career break etc etc Ps: Love the videos

[@udetivisa]

Thank you for the comment; yes, U.S. officers generally understand an educational or career break. To clarify further, Indian students overstress about a gap year, but a six-month or one-year gap (or even longer) is not a huge deal if you can discuss what you did in a way that makes sense to the consular officer. I tell students that while they are waiting for a visa slot, they can try for an internship or volunteer; it will give them something to talk about if asked, "What did you do after undergrad or high school."

[@YudiJ]

Yeah, it gets very subjective

[@elaine5953]

They do not. They are under pressure from their supervisors and things like statistics. The law does not address this. Nor if it is a PhD or Associate Program. But the officers consider this outside of the law. Including your social status. It is the Cast system in the US Embassies. Remember they make an assumption in 2 minutes

Is there any negative impact for low cgpa students on visa interviews? Hence, there are some matters that need to be clear 1. If a student gets full funds/scholarship then it going to be easy to get a visa or visa ratio will higher, On the other hand, who is going to be visa interview from self funds where there has no funds/scholarship of he/she avail so that moment visa going to be rejected or its just a myth?

Working in the call center industry since 10 years and wants to do masters in USA and also has a gap of this. Age 40 years. What are the chances of getting F1 visa after looking at my age?

[@Madmaxjack]

My brother, I would suggest you to find better opportunities in India. I made the mistake of coming to the US and it's been an absolute disaster. Only 3-4 people I know personally have managed to find a job and remaining 256 of my batch are struggling even to get an internship. The market is absolutely saturated here. If you are able to unskill, get unskilled in india. Paying 50-60 lakhs and not having a job at the end here is setting yourself up for debt. Truth be told, it's been super depressing here. It's not sunshine and rainbows, I made that mistake but I guess that's life. You need a lot of luck to make it here. I wish I had taken my chances in India. I hate the fact I am in debt now. It's not sunshine and rainbows here, don't let anyone fool you into believing that.

[@udetivisa]

Hi! Yvette here. Your age will undoubtedly be a factor. You must be very convincing when discussing the reasons for returning to school. Your major will also be in question, so the choice of the program has to make sense to the consular officer. Good luck!

[@creativeplanet2820]

​@@Madmaxjackhow many years of experience you have and which field you're from, can you please let me know?

[@Madmaxjack]

@creativeplanet2820 I have about 6 years of experience, and I've worked in the life sciences tech sector. I'll be honest with you, no matter what sector you're from unless you're absolutely brilliant at your field or you have like a solid reference who can get you a job here then I would suggest make that journey else it's just going to be tough as hell unless the universe is rooting for you. Some people are super lucky, like 5 in 300. Someone who believes that luck favors their chances is a fool, is what I would say, so if you're in India and have decent experience working on your skills , get a better paying job. However, if you love academics and are really invested completely in tech, then I guess you can make it here, but you would still have to network like a madman to make it.

Internship certificate can be used and you can explain about your role and responsibilities of the internship. But gap more than 6 month is not a good thing. I myself faced this situation and was refused 2 times. So I genuinely advise you be clear and confident on the gap issue whether it may be a of 1 month or 1 year.
