Hi there! Hope you are doing well. Thank you for the informative video. A few queries regarding my visa interview. I got my F1 visa interview in about 20 days (planning for spring 24). 1) I applied to 2 universities in Usa and got acceptance from one and another being still on hold. so, what to say when the visa officer asks me about how many admits? will it be a problem ? 2) The amount in the i20 is about $39500 and scholarship of $4500 so the final amount is $35000. Coming to my funding it is $35000 from my family funds and $25000 loan from bank. Will it be a problem if my savings are more than loan. 3) I graduated in April 2023 and currently unemployed. So should I say I am woking on the courses related to my major like python. will it be okay? Thank you

[@chaiandcoaching]

Be honest about admits. Funding is fine as long as there is good proof of funds. That’s fine to say you are a recent grads and working on courses to prepare for next phase.

Good day I am due to start class 25 August for Fall of 2024. I am yet to book my visa appointment for july as the college/company sponsoring me delayed providing my proof of funds so i expect my i-20 by Tueday 25 June 2024, am i too late. Secondly my former employer which is a college is sponsoring my studies how do I justify why they chose to sponsor me. The only reason I have is that they want a subject matter expert in the field of cyber security and hence they are sponsoring me so that I come back home and apply these skills in training back at their college.

Unfortunately, they do not release their scholarship decisions until June/July and my interview is probably gonna happen before that.

Hello officer, I’ve been rejected twice but with the same university. In fact, this time I did change my sponsorship to myself. I’m a working professional and last time I kept my father as my sponsor and this time i changed it to myself and still I couldn’t secure visa. Does changes means only if we change university? I thought the same university would be best fit for me and due to which i did stick with the same uni. And i know officers would want me to have something change in my application so , i thought better to change sponsors rather than changing uni. While answering every question visa officer seems to be very friendly and polite. Each and every questions, I answered to visa officer, she heard that very calmly and I thought that i would get visa but in the end she replied that sorry. You can again apply. I would be grateful if you give your insight on this officer.

If you say you have a distant relative in the U.S and you mentioned his name, would the visa officer pull up the person's profile to look at his status and also make sure you're saying the exact thing on hos profile. Please i need immediate response

[@chaiandcoaching]

They might, but best not to mention distant relatives. Only mention immediate family if asked

So, I have been hearing so much about "Fully Funded" What does the embassy consider fully funded? My brother is in the middle of applying for his visa interview for a 2-year associate, he was only required by the school to show proof of funds for his first year which he already did. Does the embassy require that he shows proof of funds for the whole two years as against the one year the college requires?

[@chaiandcoaching]

It’s good to be safe and have 1.5x proof of funding for tuition and living expenses from i-20

My visa was denied and top of my DS 160 was written reciprocity, what's that mean. My program of study was English.

I’m not sure about that, sorry. Please get help from an immigration attorney or the experts at Argo Visa for guidance. 😃

Hi, I want to draw your kind attention. I am a student. I have completed my 10th grade 2 years ago in 2021. From 2022 to 2023 I did not go to any high school . Now, I want to go to the US in a high school to grade 11. I am filling out the DS-160 form for an F1 student visa for US. I am facing a problem with both the present and previous work/ education/ training information section. In the present education section, I have written about my 10th-grade school's name. And in the previous education section where I have to answer the following question - " Have you attended any institution on a secondary level or above?" But what should I write in the previous education section? I am not understanding if the answer is yes or no. If yes, should I again write about my 10th-grade school's name as 10th grade is the secondary level? I have not enrolled in any educational institution for 2 years. 2 years ago I passed 10th grade. 1) What should I write in the present education section? 2) What should I write in the previous education section? I mean in which section should I write about my 10th grade? Present or previous? I would be grateful if you could help me . Thank you.

Oh no, matters get even more confusing for the young people who are applying for F1 Visa. One should think that the USA and or Canada would want to keep the people there whom they put through their universities.

I am.waiting for my I20 fro UT Austin. The total cost of attendance withoud dependence is $43799. My living expenses funding of $20,500 is coming from my private company being a member of the board and the remaing balance of tuition is from a friend who is also a realtor. I also have an annual $6,000 fellowship grants from the school. I have travel experiences, Dubai, and couple of African countries, i have always returned home, i dont over stay. How best can i tell my story to the visa officer especially those lady officers that are finicky... to create best impression. I am Oluwafemi from Nigeria.

[@chaiandcoaching]

Just tell your story in a way that makes sense If you want help crafting it, you should go for coaching call with the experts at Argo Visa

[@flakesgal]

Thanks for this interview with Argo. You mentioned you had a video on expedited visa appointment. Could you share the link, please?

[@chaiandcoaching]

Yup, just search on our channel, it’s in our visa interview playlist too

[@FaithDonnel]

Pls I also need u to throw light on this expedited interview date

[@kayrusanquintero7741]

I have a question, speaking in my mother language can be a reason to the visa will be denied? even if i going to do a master degree?

[@chaiandcoaching]

It could be, it’s important to speak clear English if you are going for a student degree

[@Tarikkb]

How can I explain why took a gap year without talking too long , cuz I have been rejected last week and I am going back next week and I’m intuitively sure that the officer didn’t understand why I took a gap year cuz I didn’t explain it well , but I also don’t want to talk too long and make them frustrated

[@chaiandcoaching]

Only you know the reason why you took a gap year, just explain your story clearly in a way that makes sense

[@MyAlishka]

Is it feasible that an officer could grant a visa to a candidate even though they truly believe they won't return to their native country? It may depend on a number of factors, including whether an officer likes an applicant based on his responses and any additional factors.

[@chaiandcoaching]

Not likely

[@parishah3277]

umm okay here's a question thay i had, there were a few universities that needed application fees, so i kind of submitted the documents but then i finalized another university so i did not pay the fees, and then the mail reads that "you still have to pay this amount in order for your application to be reviewed" so do i have to include the names of those universities when the vo asks how many universities i have applied to?

[@chaiandcoaching]

If they didn’t review your app because of pending fee then I couldn’t count those in the list of ones you applied to

[@eltonmenezes]

If your L1B visa was put into 221g due to lack of a letter to the o consular officer and then the consulate notified you to hand over your passport to issue a visa but then you didn’t since the company’s requirements changed and the visa was no longer required would that constitute a refusal or issued? But since you didn’t give your passport for stamping the visa was not issued so I am not sure what the answer would be in this case Any clarification would be helpful

[@chaiandcoaching]

That’s complicated, I’m not sure about that, sorry. Please get help from an immigration attorney or the experts at Argo Visa for guidance. 😃

[@FasholaJoshua-qn7ig]

Concerning the sponsors while in the school...what if you are going with a presidential scholarship how would you explain that to the VO

[@chaiandcoaching]

Just explain the scholarship and what it provides, that’s a good thing

[@onahi2025]

If you have an approved B1/B2 visa currently and have been to the US before and did not overstay does that affect your F1 visa prospects in a positive way?

[@chaiandcoaching]

Yes it can help
