Emergency Appointment and Visa Rejections – F1
By HSB
I had couple of Scraps in my Orkut Scrapbook and the question was ” My Visa was rejected before through emergency slot visa appointment booking, can I appear for visa again through emergency Slot, since regular slots are not available”. first of all you need to understand the difference between Emergency Appointment and Visa Rejection,
I got the following statement from VFS Webpage.
Students or exchange visitors who are within 120 days of their start date of a valid program and who have not been refused a visa within the last six months.
But, I’m sure, getting visa rejected has got nothing to do with your emergency slot. Both are two different things. Visa is decided by the VO based on the interview process and Emergency appointment is merely a way to get the interview slot.
But, appearing for third time is absolutely not a problem, but if its within 6 months of previous visa rejection, I guess you have to wait for regular slot. To validate my information, its better to call VFS and talk to them. They are better person to answer this question. Good Luck with your Visa. Do, follow the tips I have said in my previous post about F1 Visa Tips and I have personally few of my friends who got F1 Visa 3rd and 4th appearance for interview. So, believe in yourself. Express in your face that your are confident when appearing for student visa after Vida denial for first or second attempt.
If you are going for 3rd time Visa Interview, and if you display the attitude of ” I already got rejected twice, let me try one last time without hope” then you will have very less chance to get Visa.
I would think and re-think each and every word you spoke during previous Visa Interview and see what was that few words that you are Visa Officer said, got your Visa Denied and make sure you don’t make that mistake again. And they will know the reason for denial, and you should have strong answer to explain why you are still valid candidate to study in U.S.
Example: One of my friend appeared for F1 Visa 3rd Time and she was asked
“What would you do, if you don’t get Visa this time”?
Her Response: ” I’m very much interested to pursue Master’s Degree, If I don’t go to U.S. to study, I’m going to spend the same money in U.K or in Australia”
So, you can see from her reply, that how interested she was in studying and her willingness to spend to get Education Abroad. Its her confidence got her Visa in 3rd attempt.
