this website has really been helpfull,special thanks to all who have made it possible for this forum to come this far,no matter hw small i believe we can still learn from ur experience.good luck everyone.
hello happy school blog
i have get my i20 from wichita state university in bse dental hygeinist. i have 6 year gap in my study but during that gap i have running my own dental clinic by appointing a dentist . my interview date is 2.11.10. i have been applied without ielts or toefl .plz tell me what can i do for my interview give me some suggestion for my good interview
hello sunil,
your school might not require some of the standardized test to issue an i-20,however if it is stated on your i-20 that you have satisfied the english proficiency assesment then you can convince the consular officers during your interview,if not u will have to take the toefl or ielts.
hello boman on my i20 it is stated that the student is not yet proficient in english but the english instruction will be provide at the university .then what can i do
hello sunil,
most schools that require an english proficiency test like toefl before an i20 is issued will state that you have satisfied the english requirement on your i20,however some schools irrespective of your toefl or ielts score will conduct a mandatory interview for students on arrival to determine the students level of english proficiency by professors,the outcome of the interview usually determines the type of english classes you will take on campus,that is why it is stated on your i20 that english instruction will be provided at the university.if u have taken the toefl already its ok,still carry it with you for your visa interview.
Guys,
I had applied for undergraduate course in Wayne State University to study Computer Science. I was accepted, got I-20. I faced the visa interview on August 11 and had been approved for visa:D. Here’s the questions:
1. What’s ur name?
2. What university r u going to?
3. How did u hear about this univ?(In this case i said my brother)
4. Is ur bro studying there?
5. What is he studying?
6. How long has he been in USA?
7. Have u taken some test(SAT, TOEFL, etc)?
8. Have u got ur marksheets(S.S.C, H.S.C) with u? pls show them…
9. Who is ur sponsor?
10. What ur parents do?
as far as i can remember these are the questions i hve been asked. after that he chked something on his computer & then said ur visa have been approved.:D
I was amazed. I never thought they would give approval this fast. Hope my information will help some1.
I think after getting visa nobody actually visits this page…
NOBODY gave a single answer to all the questions….:O
Please i got I20 without Gre and Toefl for US. So please kindly help me.
Let me know wat are the questions that are frequently asked for this type of admission…..
See there are chances of your rejection because no good univ. will admit you without good score of those exams. At least give them & be safe.
Another thing is it all depends on your luck , I got 87 in toefl & 900 in gre still i was rejected for my VISA on 4th aug,
I have a friend of mine who had 77 in toefl & 800 in gre she was granted the visa.
But she applied very early. in june this year.
first question mostly is
why this university?
for which you have to be very clear and honest.
depending on the answer how you give, the next questions will be..
be prepared about sponsor and available funds thats all..
all the best..
when is your interview… date and place

My cousin brother is in US. He is doing his MS. The address on his passport and DS form application was same as mine. but in my ds form i have mentioned that if ther is any other relative as no.. is it a concern
When u hv relative thr in US,thn y 2 mention no ,fil a new DS 160 n mention yes,secondly thr is no prob evn if d adres is same.
No, this is not a concern mannu!!
You can modify your DS form and take the new confirmation with you..
although you dont need to coz you already got ur visa!!!
don’t think too hard, it really makes no difference….you will be fine.
verifying officer really cant trace you on that.
Hi,
I am applying for fall2011. I graduated in 2009, so there will be a gap of about 1.5 yrs. I don’t have any significant experience to account for this period. Will it affect my chances of getting a VISA ? Your replies will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, In my above comment, by mistake I mentioned fall 2011. Actually it is spring 2011. Also I would like to know if going in fall is better than in spring?
Goin in fall is definitely bettr as universities tk mr no of international students th spring n wintr intk,bt again it depends on d courses offered,if u hv chosen a course whch is offered in spring thn no use of goin in fall.
U hv 2 b spontaneous n account a valid reason 4 d 1.5yrs duration.
thnks for the help.. I filled it accidently and neva gave it a second look as visa dates were running out. I have scheduled my appointment.. now what is the required steps. Do i fill a new form reschedule a new appointment or just go for visa interview and request councillor that I have committed a mistake.
if u r gng thru a consultancy thn go n ask ur counselor wat is d required step,or in d second case don mention abt ur cousin stayn in US evn if askd by d VO,m sure d VO wnt dig out ur family tree.generally d VO wnt ask anythn outside d DS160 n givn docs,bt 4 ur precaution i said 2 fil a new form,as 1′s rejectd its dificult latr.
thnks man.. but i have already scheduled my appointment and there are no more visa dates available.. so should i fill a new form or just go to conselor and ask tell him that i have committed a mistake. plss do post ASAP
Hello,
I have read your blog and it is really very well written and makes it easy for guys like me to understand each and everything about the whole procedure. I have a question (which I searched here before posting but did not find) in the form they ask how long one is intended to stay in the visa? My question is that I am applying for a community college which is a two year college and then one have to apply to transfer into four year college to complete undergraduate program. So should I write and tell them during the interview the duration for 2 years? Or should I write and tell them that It will take me 4 years because I will be transferring into a 4 year college. I really need your help.
Thank You.
u’ll hv 2 mention d duration u r actually planin 2 stay whethr its a commumnity or UG course,so it wud b 4yrs,n F1 visa is issued fr 5yrs.
Hey Folks, problem !! already applied to 5 UNIZ for fall 2010,got one I20 so far.
written the Gre twice in 2 months without prep.
First gre score – 730
Second gre score – 890
toefl -90
UG aggregate – 78 %
good sop and lors
have some computer courses certificates
good co-curricular and extra-curricular activities
NO FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS !!
well,here is my problem.i am currently waiting I20 from my most preferable UNI.i would schedule for the VISA intervw the day i got it.i want to ask all you smart people about my VISA CHANCES !!! will i get a FI VISA with the above said credentials. i know the GRE scores are low but i have seen people getting through with scores touching 800 as well. kindly encourage and i shall not forget you.
Hey Kintu,
The good thing is that you actually have attempted GRE again and improved upon your score at least marginally. Since your other credentials are good, and your TOEFL score is above minimum, you have a very good chance of getting your VISA approved. Just in case if he asks to explain your low GRE score, have a answer prepared. All the best.
Shyam
THANX for encouraging me dear..what would you suggest me that what to tell to VO about low GRE scores…keep writing
hi kintu
greetings
they will not normally ask you why so low scores
this you should ask your self
because you only know answer for your question
my reasoning about low score about any one leave alone you
is can be summed up
1.not enthusiastic about your education
2.lack of motivation
3.lack of focused attention
and if one is really has a burning desire , one would prepare
for his gre and toefl
well in advance
say from the first year of your undergraduate
using every opportunity to test your maths skills and english words
simply preparing, well , in advance
not taking last minute attempt
mostly people who lack goal
or not prepared to see the future ‘
these are the reasons i feel at this moment
nevertheless u can face the visa officer with courage of confidence
and i wish you all the best
good luck
easwaran
If u cnt justify ur low scores js tel ‘em ur preparation time ws less n simultaneously runnin wid ur othr degree programs
Hi this is Kavya,
I have got the I-20 from Florida Institute of Tech and also from Long Island University,NY, in Biotechnology and Medical Biology(MS)respectively.
I have already done MS in Biotechnology from Bangalore University.My GRE score is 1130 and TOEFL score is 84.My question is what should be my best answer in response to the question of the VO”Why are you intending to do second masters?”Since I want to do PhD after my MS how should I convince them that I want to come back to India after completion of PhD?
Please reply.
D requirement 4 MS is 10+2+4,since in India BS is 3 yrs so 2 apply 4 PhD at latr stage 2nd MS cn b considered.
Hi,
I got admit in MS in Environmental Engg at Penn State for Fall 2010. I have completed my M.Tech. in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering and for the past 1 year had been working as a Junior Research Fellow in microbial fuel cell, an interdisciplinary research topic. I wanted to pursue PhD on this field, hence applied only to those univs where work was carried on (for some other constraints I could apply to only to 3 univs in all). I got acceptance from Penn State for MS (they had a few subject requirements for PhD which I hadn’t done, I guess that is the reason they offered me MS, maybe also because of the change in field of study) but without funding. I plan to go there, pursue MS, try for funding as well (my father has money for the first year, and can arrange for 2nd year as well, but definitely would prefer some funding in the univ), and then apply through the internal exams for PhD, else apply to some other univ (US or Europe) for PhD.
Do I tell the VO that I intend to pursue PhD after this, and if possible in the same univ? Will keeping the intended duration of stay in the DS160 form same as the course duration (24 months) pose a problem in this regard? If I tell him that I intend to pursue PhD, how do I convince him that I’ll come back to my country (since most pursue at least a couple of Post-Doc tenures in the US itself after PhD)?
Yes, U hv 2 say dat u wana pursue PhD,coz everythng u hv 2 mention in d DS160 form while applyn 4 VISA.
In dat form u hv 2 mention d duration u wana stay thr.
awesome it great and very helpful to the beginners of Visa interview. Thanks alot and keep going .All the Best to Team work.

hi
i m Amit
i m preparing for us interview. ive a question in my mind that i came back from britain in jan 2010.could it be a problem while i ll go for the interview.
I’m Rakesh,presently studying in SRM college(BSc-computer science). My visa got rejected. Here is my case. I completed my 12th grade and I scored 1037 and scored 86 in TOEFL ibt. I did not immediately apply for the USA university,there was a gap of one year,during this one year I’m doing my BSc-computer science in SRM college. I got the I20 from the De anza community college,cupertino,california. I’m going to pursue Computer information system in De anza. The VO asked me that, why am I changing from bsc course? secondly, he asked “why are you going for the 2 year college rather than picking a four year college”? And thirdly,he asked me why dint you apply for the college as soon as you complete your 12th grade? Why are you suddenly discontinuing this college and going for De anza? So let me know the ways to get thru the interview!
Hi.
It’s mamun here.Why i choose X university and why i want to study in U.S. and not in Bangladesh.

Hi Rakesh,
If you prepare the answers for the questions in this blog, I don’t see any probs in your VISA getting approved. But is is important for you to stay calm and not panic during the interview.

Help needed.

In my option it also depends on your other scores and consulate. If your TOEFL and some other score that he is asking for is also low then its a fair chances that he might reject, But dont loose the hope prepare for every probable question that you can face and try and convene the consulate.

halo
i was offerred a scholarship and an out of state tuition fee waiver for fall 2010 in a uni in the US
can i say that, once all other documents are also made clear, my visa chances are quite high coz of the aid?
i have heard like the visa officials give a high preferance to the students with aid
Not really, I got a scholarship too but my visa was rejected, sometimes its shear luck. He just looked at my GRE and TOEFL score and said rejected with no questions.

Hello, I have a question that i have been asking everyone around me however, so far i have not recieved a satisfying response.. I grew up in America, however due to some paper issues regarding my parents i had to return to my home country and carry out my high school years here and since i was new and getting used to the system my grades were not that satisfying etc. Anyways my question is.. is telling the visa officers that i have grown up in America and had to return because of those unfortunate issues a wise thing to say?.. will it reduce my chances of a visa?
Hi everybody,
I went the interview for F1 visa and was told that I have been approved and they would hold my passport. She said that they will send it and told me that I don’t have to come in person to collect it. Also she gave me a tracking number to track my case online. Does anyone know how long would it take take for them to send my passport? Also I am planning to go out my city for a month (vacation). Can anyone collect my passport on my behalf or should I be present to collect my passport?
I would really appreciate if anyone answers my questions
Thanks
they just hold bcos u just went early to the consulate, if your college is starting in just few days when u had interview, then u could get ur passport next day,
but u r safe, nothing to worry in ur case, aslo they might dont want to print ur visa right now, bcos they have slow internet issue, and you have still time, so they put u on hold,

Hi, i am shanker and my scores are GRE-900 and Toefl-80. Actually i was rejected for Spring 2010. I am reapplying for Fall 2010. So wat is the scope of me getting Visa?
Hi,
I have been accepted into Austin Community College and I have got my 120 form. The college asked for my TOEFL scores to issue my 120 form. They did not ask for SAT scores. I have my I20 form, am I still required to take SAT test before I apply for my F1 visa or can I apply with my SAT scores as I have the 120 form. Please advice.
@Ammatullah……… Hi friend,
As per your question the answer is that COMMUNITY COLLEGES never ask for SAT but they do ask for TOEFL because they have to make sure that you demonstrate your English Proficiency.
You can either take or TOEFL or IELTS. You must be going be going to College for transfer to University in future.
Earlier, the visa for Community colleges was very tough but may be now US embassy have started issuing visas for it. I think so because now I can see people applying for Community Colleges too. I applied in 2008 but was rejected at the time of interview in Jan 2009. Then I applied again in July 2009. I was issued F1 student visa. I had TOEFL score of 98. But as I was having free time during my second attempt, I took IELTS too and my score was 7.5 bands. I was never aware of US education formalities during my school time. I just met a friend of mine who was my classmate when I was at High school. My friend is studying at MIT… I was amazed and surprised when I realized that how reputed MIT is. I started exploring US education prospectives. If I could have come to know earlier all about this then I would have definitely gone for SAT. But anyhow Community college was a option for me because I was late enough for SAT. Preparing SAT and taking test requires time and all this is supposed to be good when a person is at school. I graduated from school in 2008 march and started exploring US education after it. Now I am studying in Los Angeles at a Community College. I will may be take SAT near the time of my transfer because some people I have heard that some top ranked universities prefer SAT score even for transfer students.
Can any one give the answer for “WHY THIS UNIVERSITY ?”
Hey,I am Kunal.Actually I was studying in Drexel university,Philadelphia.I took my admission in 2008.I have a US visa for 5 years.Then After that I was medically unfit and I needed my family support.I came back to India in 2009.I had to drop out from the course and now when I am medically fit I want to go back and start my studies all over again.I want to take admission in community college of Philadelphia and I want to know what are my chances of getting a visa.I already have a Visa but It’s for Drexel university and now I want it for community college of Phialdelphia.Kindly lemme know asap.
Interesting situation Drexel to Community College. Why not continue in Drexel itself?
Hi Kunal, as u told that u were medically unfit and u had to drop ur class… sorry to hear about that. Well, if u have been out of US for more than 5 months than u must apply for visa. Am sure u know this and thats y u applying again. Anyways… going from University to community college can be the question to be asked from u by Visa officer. Say that you want to go as a transfer student to some other better university. Do tell them that classes at community college are more cheap than University.
ur chances are 50/50 under normal view but u can increase them with ur communication skill n way of presenting urself.
It’s coz in Drexel I am gonna complete my bachelor’s in four years..
It can save a lot of my time if I go to community college
and then take a transfer.but m not sure if I get the visa for community college or not..
Yes, you can get Visa for community college. During Visa you have to say that your intent to transfer to 4 year college.
I am also a community college student. Before I applied all used to say that I won’t get visa. I was rejected once but second time I got visa. I suggest you whether thinking much on the REJECTION thing…. try to apply with your best attempt. Its not something unpractical or immpossible… if I got visa second time, may be u will get visa in ur first attempt. I was not good in interview first time as I was unable to explain why I selected US and why not India. You answer all questions confidently when you face the visa officer. You will get visa. Best of luck !
plz can u mail me the asnwers for all the ques….
Hi,
I have been undergoing medical treatment in US since May 2007. I have been flying back and forth from India to US. I wanted to do a degree in graphic designing here in India but have not been able to do so because of some personal issues. While I was in the U.S. I checked out few the community college which offered a associate degree in Graphic designing and found the method of instruction in US to be better than here and wanted to pursue a degree in a community college in Graphic designing field. I was told that I can apply for the F1 Visa while I was in US but then I was also told that I will not be able to leave the country ( US) till I complete my course. Though I have relatives and friends in the U.S my parents are still in India and so I want to be able to visit India atleast once in a year i.e. whenever I am on vacation thus I hesitated applying for the visa while I was in US. I was told if I get my F1visa from India, I would be able to go back and forth without a problem. Also I am supposed to visit my doctor in US few times in a year for review so while I am studying in US I can use the opportunity to see my doctor every so often.
I have couple of question before I apply for the Visa:
1.) Should I mention that I am getting medical treatment in the US for the past three when going for the interview? If I mention it , will it affect my chances of getting a visa?
2.) If my visa is approved , how long do you think it will take for me to get my passport stamped.
3.) Also I am divorced and have a child in India. I am not sure if I will be taking him with me or not. If I do decide to take him with me, should I apply for his visa along with mine and will it affect my chances of getting a visa ( I decide to take him with me. I have family in US so I will get the necessary help in taking care of my 8yr old son while I am in college).
4.) I completed my bachelors degree in 2000 will that be an issue as there is a huge gap…
5.) If I get the visa soon i.e. few months before my semester begins, will I be able to go to US 2 or 3 months before my semester begins. I have to visit my doctor atleast once in 3 months so it would be really hard if I have wait till August 2010 or July 2010 to be in US.
6.) I have B1/B2 Visa which is valid till 2016, will that visa be cancelled if I get my F1 visa?
I would really appreciate and be grateful if you guys can answer my question.
P.S. I will be staying with my sister while I am in the US.
Sarah – You have to ask the above questions to an immigration attorney.
Hi !!
Well my visa interview is on friday (december 4) and I was just wondering… I didn’t take the TOEFL exam ’cause I took an english exam in the community college, they approved me.. so now that im back at my country, can they deny me a visa just for not having a TOEFL SCORE? because I am very good at speaking english… I thought I had no problem with that but since I saw your post I started doubting… anyways.. amm… please awnser back soon!
Thnks for information
Hi Friends,
i m navneet n i have applied to wayne state n got accepted.i m facing a problem that my brother is also in the same university,so i waant to knw if that will be problem.what should i answer or should i hide this thing .please help me out .,.,.,
@Navneet – Say the truth, you can say that your brother is also in the same school.
I completed my 12th grade from India. I was interested to go abroad and study but I was not at all aware of anything like visa requirements and documentary formalities. I completed my 12th in March 2008 and being honset I scored very average. After my 12th I checked on internet how to apply for abroad. Luckily, I got a link of http://www.happyschoolsblog.com
You can read this article as my testamonial.
Anyhow……. I used to surf this site and I learned about many things like finance, SAT, GMAT etc etc…
I remember there use to be a online chat option also with Raghu. I chatted with him and I use to ask many questions both in chat as well as blog. Many people write on the walls and reply.
I got a lot of help from this website and I stared preparing for my visa interview. I took TOEFL and I also checked another website called http://www.studyusa.com
Being an average student I was aware of my capability and hence I applied for a community college. Everyone used to say that I would get rejected because US embassy dont give visa to community college students.
and u know what…….. I got rejected! But this was not because I applied for a community college, it was because I was not able to convince the interviewer.
The interviewer asked me that why I am pusuing US for study and why not India. Additionally, I was nervous very much and my answers were also not spoken with confiddence.
I was almost broken with the rejection. My family got a set back since I invested money and time. Just one thing that I was satisfied or proud that even if I got rejected but I tried myself and did everything on my own. NO AGENT NO HELP!
I did my best just I got confused and distracted at the time of interview.
Anyhow, I decided to apply again and I still didn’t change my college. I waited for another 5 months and applied for Fall semester. Got a new I-20 and prepared all papers freshly again.
http://www.happyschoolsblog.com was my window to explore all that is required.
I did my best again and didnt get distracted this time.
Result- I GOT MY US VISA. I GOT F-1 VISA for 5 years.
Now I am in USA and studying at the same community college that I applied for.
I advice to all people who wish to apply that whenever you apply just check internet and surf websites like happyschoolsblog
There is a lot of wrong information on internet but one of the best things about happyschoolsblog.com is that if someone posts some wrong by mistake or whatever… happyschoolsblog.com corrects it. I know because sometimes while replying to people I posted some wrong info by mistake… u know what EACH & EVERYTIME IT WAS CORRECTED
So, I conclude that this website is the most reliable one.
I am studying at LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
Its a very big college and so big that they are planning to convert it into a university in future.
I am not saying that go for community college but I say that even if you go for a community college, dnt worry.. just be ready to justify urself. Justify that why u want community college. U can say that its good to go to the best community college rather than going to a below average university.
I will like to share one more information. I have to come to know about a university in US that doesnt charge International students higher than US citizens. They do require SAT.
The name of univeristy is EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY and it is located in Oregan. Please check the following link for more info.. and do surfing happyschoolsblog for every help that u may need. All the best.
http://www.youniversitytv.com/youlife/eastern_oregon_university.html
you can reply this post if u have any questions. u can also find me on facebook.
My email is varunishere3886@gmail.com
I cant reply emails but I can reply on facebook for sure. But one thing I tell you that this website happyschoolsblog will help you more than me or any person.
it feels so strange……
I can see my posts … questions asked when I was in India and struugling for my visa…. hooo it feels so good now that I be succesful to get visa. I remember all those days when I climbed step by step… TOEFL, applying to college, Finance for college, I-20, Financial documents, Legal documents, Visa interview and finally flight to USA…
I miss India and mom dad
I am studying at the college and looking for transfer to university after completion of 2 yrs of study. Most community colleges serve transfer purpose and many students in US choose this way because it saves a lot of money. Moreover, a community college gives more freedom to choose options. You earn good credits and u will be transfered to a good university.
Great going dude…Ur blog just gives a great support for the aspirants…
Hi, I am Pushpinder kumar from Punjab.am doing B.sc bioinformatics right now i am in 2nd year. am going take sat test in dec. but am having 1 year gap after my 10+2. is there any problem to get visa in 1 year gap condition..
Dear Pushpinder kumar,
I think you should not be worried about one year gap. Pls. note that, its not sure, visa officer will ask you about your gap period. Gap period will not affect for getting student visa whether you have one year gap or more than that. Hence, you have to prove counsular you will be full time student and very consious about your study as well as your future. You can easily tackle for your one year gap period. Such as you can say, i have gap one year for submitting my application to different universities and colleges,toefl/ielts/sat e.t.c. or admission procedure. I am now studying in South Arkansas University although i had gap of 4 years. I was very worried about my gap period eventhough i was well prepared for that answer. But, i was very cool in interview and he asked me why this university not others? And other question is tell me about your family background? Why you didnot join army? (I am son of Ex- army officer). In those questions i answered positively, and finally i got visa in first attempt. You have to well prepared to answer all questions whatever they will ask. It may be regarding your personal life or academic life. Be honest and confident, you have to prove them, you will return back after completion of yur study. Best of Luck!

Hey!!
I am a frequent visitor of your website and this site has proved to be very helpful! I really appreciate this great work you have put in to help thousands of students like me to give them direction for achieving their dream of studying abroad. My heart-filled good wishes to you for everything.
I have got an admit in the MS in Materials Engineering program in University of Houston for Fall 2009. I has three questions regarding the VISA interview that I am about to face on the 15th of July, 09:
1) If they ask me what are my plans after the completion of this masters, what am I supposed to say? I wish to continue my education and pursue a PhD after my MS but I am afraid that if I mention that they might reject my VISA on the grounds that I have plans of not returning. Please give me your valuable suggestion on this.
2) My elder sister(single) is working in Houston on an H1B visa in an American company. She had gone onsite from an Indian company but after 1.5 yrs of stay there, she switched her job. I have plans of living with her during my graduate studies. Do you think this will have a negative effect on my VISA chances?
3) I am going to show even her as one of my sponsor, along with my father as my dad’s savings alone is not sufficient. However, on my I20 only my father’s name is mentioned. Will it be ok if I get the affidavit of support under both their names and have them sign it?
Kindly suggest as to what I should do as there are just three more days to go for my Visa interview?
Thanks a lot,
Tanushree
Dear ,

I got admission from University of Dallas in Pre- MBA Course.
Write now I am working in UK, London as a Product manager. I got my bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Scotland.
My question is does anything particular document require if I stayed here in UK from last 2.5 years & now going back to India for just only for F1 visa Interview.
Thanks.
Naman.
VO might ask what were you doing in UK. So, its better to have documents to backup your claim.

Hi Berhanu.
I am Varun Kumar from India. I applied for a community college too and got my I-20. Everything was good but I wasn’t granted visa. Some people say that US embassy visa officers don’t grant visa. But I don’t believe this. If you have a genuine reason and you are able to present yourself then VISA is not difficult. Keep this in mind that
1) Firstly, they will see whether you are a genuine student.
2) Secondly, they can ask you that why are you trying for community college and nit for a university. You can make up an answer that community college provides more opportunity and it is more convenient to go through a community college into a good university via transfer.
3) They will also see your ties to your home country.
4) If you can then take along a job promise letter with you so that you can prove that you will return to your country.
5) If you have gap period in your study then please cook up some practical story.
6) Be prepared to tell them that what you were doing between your last school and till today.
Happyschoolsblog.com is an excellent to get more information. I collected lots of information from here. I was just not lucky enough to get visa because my interview was not good. I got confused there and my language skills got all down. I was not prepared for the interview. So, you please concentrate on interview too. They will only see yours papers if they see u as a genuine student. Be confident there. Don’t argue them if they deny. Well i wish that u get visa. But anyhow if u have to face the other side then don’t loose heart.
Take professional help if you can. But don’t pay extraordinary amount for any fake document because that is very risky.
GOOD LUCK !
Hi my name Berhanu Sisay. I’m from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The community college that I have applied for has already sent me the I-20 form. I have an interview appointment on Monday 8th June. Is there any one, who had an F-1 interview before, and has any important information wishes to share or wants to aware me, please welcome.
Thank you for reading my profile.

I will hjave provisionla certificate after the reulst for the fianl semsetr mark sheets. Can anyone tell me whether it is mandatory to have this whne I go for the vis interview?
I look forward to someone helping me.
hey ther..

Niki – I would appreciate if you can send us an write up about your Interview experience,I can post in the blog. Thanks.
Am from karnataka, but can i go to delhi for F1 visa? Is delhi better than chennai? I am just concerned about the rejections from chennai. Will going to delhi help?
hi varun this is rafi here,
I have I20 from 3 uni’s two of them are with same course and one with other course, but I am opting for the third one.
what do I say when asked about why I took this option.
Whatever university you have choosen, make a strong point regarding it. For example, you can say that you find the staff of urs choosen university much co-operative. If you have interacted with any of the professors of urs choosen university. you can mention their name and tell about their co-operative attitude. Secondly, you can cook some points about the location. Like you can say that I have found the location the choosen university much more peaceful. Well, these are very trivial points. But its better to say these rather than going dumb and saying nothing.
I think that the most important point can be regarding the university ranking. If ur choosen university is ranking higher than the other two. Then there is an absolute genuine point.
Just look on internet about your university and compare it with the other two. I am sure you will find more points. Just keep in mind that your reason should be practical enough to make them believe.

Dear Raghu,
Yours website in an excellent source for the students to get genuine information. I got alot of help from ‘happyschoolsblog.com” regarding the basic information. I didn’t have any idea before about the technical terms. But yours site is really awesome. I was denied student visa last time. I want some guidance from you. I hope that many other students also be facing the situation like of mine. Please answer me. My situation is as below:
My name is Varun Kumar. I am from India.
I applied for student visa to US in January 2009. I was accepted at a community college in an associate degree. When I went to the interview, the officer asked me several questions. Though I answered many but few questions were not answered efficiently. Actually, I was nervous being my first interview at any foreign consulate.
They asked me that “Why I want to pursue degree in US and why not in India?”
They also asked me about my percentage in senior secondary. I don’t have good percentage. I told them everything truthfully.
They inquired me about my family and asked that whether I know someone in US.
Well, I didn’t know anyone in US. I answered them no.
During the interview, they didn’t saw my financial documents. They just saw the I-20, my passport, MRV fee slip and other forms.
The visa officer denied my visa stating that she is not convinced. After sometime, I requested them to send me the visa rejection letter.
They send me an email. The email stated that my visa was rejected under Section 214(b)of Immigration and Nationality act.
I have prepared all the answers now. But my query is that will they ask me these questions again or will they ask me something different. Another thing that I want to know is that “Do USA grants visa for community colleges?”
My percentage is not so good. I completed my senior secondary in March 2008. The interviewer also asked me that “What I have been doing till January?” Well I was so much interested and confident about my visa that I didn’t enrolled at any educational institutions anywhere in India. I am admitted into the community college on behalf of senior secondary, so there was no purpose of getting enrolled at educational institution in India. But the visa officer didn’t understand this fact.
“I want o know that whether my unsatisfactory answers were responsible for visa denial?”
If it is so, then what should be done?
I want to reapply.
I have prepared the answers now. But my query is that will they ask me these questions again or will they ask me something different.
Is this thing also responsible for the visa rejection. What circumstances of mine should I change to reapply.
hi. i am from the philippines. have previoulsy applied for Q1 cultural exchange program for 2008 – 2009 winter seasons. unfortunatley, i was not granted the visa because i was not able to convince the consul that i will come back after my contract.
i plan to apply again for the same type of visa this month. i’d like to ask your suggestions on this specific questions:
what will make u come back?
what will you when u get back to the phils?
i would very much appreciate your help. thanks
The only possible answer i can think of to this question is a fake one. Just get information about a leading company in philippines in your field of study and just mention u want to obtain job in there on basis of degree u get in US.

You can use the forum to discuss with other readers.
I have opted a community college for associate degree in engineering.
I want to be a mechanical engineer. Till now I have completed 12th class. They aslo asked me that why I am not pursuing bachelors in India. Please tell me that Can I present any job promise letter of any small scale industry. My uncle has a firm of tool manufacturing.
Can I present them the reason that I will get employment after my return?
Someone told me that US promotes graduate studies and not under graduate. Is it True?

Hi, I am Varun Kumar from Punjab. I had applied for student visa to US consulate. But my apllication got rejected. The interviewer said that they were not convinced that whether I will return to my home country after my education completion. Please tell me that How can I convince them at this view point. I had evrything genuine. My money documents were true and genuine. Nothing was fake but they did’nt even looked at them. I dont know that how they will be convinced that I will return to my home country after my degree. Moreover, also inquired me alot about this that why I am interested in going to USA for my course and why not for India.
@ varun…
HI Varun…m Sujon from Bangladesh currently studying in USA, I absolutely agree with you, about the points that you made, US Visas are sometimes hectic and for people from the south Asia, it’s quite difficult for us to get a F1 Visa. Anyways dont worry, i have some suggestions for you,
U can say that the quality of education in USA is much better than any other countries including India and that US degrees are highly appretiated in India, after graduation i want to utilize my degree in the XXXXXX (mention ur field) field and take it to a new level. India is growing in its economy and after i graduate i will get a perfect platform to work in my country and serve it,
about ur time gap, tell them that you have researched a lot about US schools since you had the burning desire to complete ur graduation from US, so u dint get into any uni or stuff, n abt ur percentage, well US consulate give a lot of important to ur desire, they see that whether u want to GO to USA or u want to graduate from USA, dont pretend that ur totally finished if u dont get the Visa, TRY sayn dat u have gone through a bad patch in ur high school so cudnt do well, n abt community college, well m not sure abt India, but for Bangladesh, they usually dont give F1 Visa unless ur applying to a top university, the basic thing is they c ur intensions, which on da other hand relects on ur grades, ur college search and ur future plans. Dont be bothered abt ur bank papers because they will only see it when they are sure that ur a GENUINE student and ur intension is to study and not to migrate. so dont worry Varun, research on it more and if u have any more question u can mail me @
as3244@drexel.edu
