Former Visa Officers stories from behind the visa window 

Thank You Man, You are great! Am going to take my shot tomorrow!

As an American that has lived in Ecuador, I can't say your consultation prices show any care in helping those most in-need. $789/hr? Very sad you've allowed greed to consume you.

The best video I’ve watched so far

Thank you, Ben, for providing this crucial information!

The applicant is blessed to have you as his visa officer who interviewed him because you go deeper not only on what you see on his application.

I got my visa approved on the 25th April at the Nairobi embassy purely on Argo visa videos. Thanks guys

I have booked the consulant session from Argo. And what he said in this video is very accurate. I went straight to what I practiced and my visa got approved last week.

Ben you are doing great i m very much impressed from your experience i am sure your experience will help millions applicant s

So much to learn especially for introverts like me who are not out spoken.😢. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you Argo.... Your videos is very helpful, Today I got C1D visa after one refusal earlier

Well done Ben. 👏

Thank you Ben

I would like to say thank you so much because 3 weeks ago my F1 visa was refused and today I had the second appointment, I watched you videos, you suggests and I applied them to my case, that was awesome 🔥

Thanks a lot for continuous insightful videos. Today, I got my F1 Student Visa approved.

Thanks Ben ,very interesting video ❤

Great work ben..

I've been binging your videos ahead of my b1/b2 visa interview on April 25. I finally got my stamped passport back today. Thank you for all the tips.

Its really appreciate to you.

Ben you are an awesome person, please consider your consultancy fee which is unbearable for most of the applicants. Thanks!

Appreciated , informative video .

Tnks very much

Nice tips sir!! Please again I ask, do you share tips on that of Canada cos I have noticed your videos are more of USA

Thank you so much for posted these videos and especially your " Refusal series" . I got my Visa approved in my 2nd attempt in Hyderabad, India. Thank you and God bless!

Ben, you are a great Man and I personally love you for what you are doing, and most especially the story you shared in this video. Your concern and ability to engage the applicant to such a human extent. God bless your days of life. I have been refused a visa twice in Nairobi and the two interviews were done by one officer, imagine. I have been very honest in all the interviews.

I got my visa approved thank you Ben ❤

Thanks❤

Impressive... Am looking forward to K1 Visa interview.

First of all I never took any consultation from Argo. I was rejected 5 times in F1 student visa interview in India. The 6th time I made sure to explain and fight for my case, just like a lawyer who proves his case in front of a judge. And I got the visa

Hi Ben, do you go in detail while explaining the reason you got refused before on the Ds160? And what to write if the refusal was under 214b

Great

Hi Sir In other countries refusals and bans like Canada and Australia matter for the USA visa for the first time B1/B2 ?

Hello Argo Visa, I’ve a question, I have filled and submitted my DS-160 and waiting for my interview but I have something that I need to edit on the form that I’ve already submitted. Can I Edit? Does it a have a negative impact on my application?Thanks!!

I was refused my F 1 on 26 January this year. Everything you just said are the facts. I gave single answers. Well the lady gave me a 214b and said I wasn’t eligible for the visa at that time. . 😢 well I have already paid for my visa fee. Waiting on picking an appointment date. I have been following every single one of your videos

Please I need more highlights , since I have refusal case. . Thank you

Intention of the Visa officer matters. You gave that 4 time reject the Visa after asking questions which shows that you had good intentions and you value people’s time and effort to book a slot and show up for the interview.

Thank you Sir😫. I got my visa approved today. I was refused 4 times so my academic advisor gave me the option to take full time classes online. But my program is more of practical than theory so I was informed by the school to come in person during the next semester to take classes. I was so scared until I came across your videos on RU-vid. I realized my mistakes and I gave it another try. I got my visa approved today and I am so happy. Thank you for making a difference in our lives. Thank you Argo visa❤

Hello Sir,I graduated in Aug22 and have not worked since then and am going for Ms in CS for fall23. What should I put in ds160 about current "Current Occupation"? Help me out some people saying to put "student" as current occupation and then some people saying put "Not Employed".

Hi ben my travel history just turkey i refused b2 tourist visa ,will reply same profile or need to get EU visa befour 2nd interview? Please reply to my comment

Honestly the first visa applicant didn't seem to want to study in the US in the first place, he was just going along with it, maybe their parents were making him go but didn't want to study there

if you're applying for dvlottery regularly it will effect your interview in case you apply for tourist visa?

you. I got rejected on Feb 10 and wondering whether the incorrect filled ds matters

I was going for treatment, but after interviewing twice, he did not allow me. Please help me

Argo,l m pleased to learn how you guide application for visa. But how much is your consultation?

Wow sir I appreciate your info I had 4 refusal not sure if I want to go back 😢

Sir please give me reply as soon as possible because my interview is on 24 th July how much gap will accept after high school if we have genuine reason for ?? Can I go for my visa with gap ????

My visa was refused on 2017 in one month 2 times now I am going for the interview I just mentioned in D-160 my visa was refused in 2017 is that OK? Or should I mentioned two times was refused? Please update

I have refuse over eight to nine times already don't think am going back

Got denied for a B1/B2 visa today. The Visa Officer seemed disinterested on whatever we had to say. Every chance we get to speak up, he always cuts us off and asks another question. We were going to say all of our highlights and our strong finances and ties but he keeps diverting the conversation towards a different topic. It felt like we were judged and not assessed. We were both previously in the US twice under J1 visa. During our past visa interviews the Officers at that time were considerate and accommodating. It was really unfair on our behalf because we know that we're capable and we qualify. We really believed that interviews are not based on mood or whatever but the experience we had today kind of changed our minds. It's really sad and unfair when your intentions are pure and true and also have the means to do it but the Officer failed to see it and was not interested at all.

So expensive sir . I couldn't bear to pay that much of money.

How to ans what are your parents doing?

Hi Team, My case is little different & also little confuse. Can you please help me come out my confusion & doubts. Going to apply for b1/b2 visa to meet my mom who is us citizen.

Sir, what should be the dressing sense for f1 visa interview...does being formal give more chances of visa or can wear casual dress also

Hi sir Ben I have an interview on 18th this month. I would like ask if its better to have a consultation with Argo or next week. Thanks

Is my information already on the desktop of the visa officer before i gave him my docs??? He acted so rude and put the yellow slip on my docs before asking any question 😞...He asked and put the slip on the desk for me to pick up....i answered but the slip was there already ..

Hello sir I got refused ma visa at 214b last month help me up to crack an interview

Hello Ben, would you be so kind to answer my query? I am applying with wife and 2 kids B1/B2 visa from Saudi Arabia. I am having Canada visit visa and travelling to Canada for summer vacation. Will it help me to get us visa?

I finished my first degree two years ago, went for service and finished service last year October, I am in my late 20s Is that a red flag for a visa officer? Is age a determining factor?

Hello, My parents are planning to apply 5th time for USA visa after rejections. I’m pregnant and my due date is March 2023. I got a doctor letter for my parents visa appointment? Will it be helpful?

If didn’t mention my sister in ds who is on usa, does this consider as fraud

Hello Ben, Thanks for your valuable videos, but i have some question? My English is intermediate, so does that affect on the interview? Does visa officer have part of their decision (like 50% based on my application or browsing about my information before i go to the interview)? If i got refusal from Canadian visa, is that affecting the visa officer decision? thank you again.

Thank you so much sir for the valuable information. If an undergraduate student who’s applying for F-1 visa first time is enrolled in pathway program along with main course , pathway program is mentioned on I-20 does it reduces changes of getting visa ?

Why you guys do not reply?

I got denied 28th of April cause I got scared and cause of that made me stutter and not articulate my plans well 😭

What is your consultation fees?

I faced the same issue i was advised to give short answers what exactly the consular asks for, i was short in answers the consular seem tired and he was not interested to know more and i was also providing information in short words… at the end the consular puts me in to 221g refusal give me yellow and white paper and guide me to fill the form ds-5535 and we will contact you back.. it has been a month there is no update and no one contacted me 😢
