I'm guessing it's because you showed family ties in the US and so the officer feels like you have the intention to immigrate there rather than study and come back.
Nope. He totally missed the point of the question. He asked why he choose to go to Yale University and his answer should be that he is going there for studies. Telling the visa officer that Yale is one the best schools and you're cousin lives there is very unecessary and off point and shows you're not likely to return after your studies in the usa. And also you have to make sure every answer you're giving is related to you returning to your home country after studies.
@@kaza-shim my total expense is $45k. Could you please tell me how much bank statement and funding should I show in my I-20 and how much shall I say is my Father's income?
I learned recently that it's actually important to make sure the interviewer knows you are not by all means interested in staying there. Like, give them the impression that you want to go to get your education so as to immediately come back, and get back to building your own life, helping your family, getting a job in your home country etc.
just asking out of curiosity, what's wrong with studying there and then making a life there? isn't that the goal of 90% of the people who go for abroad studies?
@@nepoleangambi6864 but that's the whole point 😂🥲 Going to better country/city for better opportunities and make a living with optimal lifestyle.. Atleast better from home country.. Isn't it?
@@vinayakchopra88 bruh there are stories of people getting rejected even after getting admit from Harvard,i know it's weird but never mention that you'll even work on OPT 😂
Bro, why is that? Isn’t it a better thing because sponsoring a family member makes visa faster. I live in New York and I sponsored my relative and they got visa.
@@user-ge4vy2zp7vwhen a person interviews for a non immigrant visa status, by US law the visa officer must assume the person to be intending to immigrate unless the person can prove so otherwise. Hence, in that brief interview the person must present a case to the VISA officer as to why they will not immigrate. Visa officers don’t care where you are going what you are doing or your well-being in the US. They ask these questions as indirect questions to judge whether or not you will immigrate there or not. Telling a visa officer that you have relatives in the US can indicate that you have support in the US to immigrate there if you ever want to. It’s also very easy to change status inside the US especially if you have a brother or sister who is US citizen as they can petition for status change. But that does not mean that you lie. If you are asked if you have relatives in the US do not lie to them. Just do not be forthcoming with this information unless you are very specifically asked.
If a student is accepted into a college like Yale, he will almost certainly not be turned down during his Visa interview because the officer knows he is a genuine and brilliant student. I'm not confident about family ties, but they're still a possible threat to acceptance.
I would rather talk about the program that I'm applying for, the advantages of the program, what I'm hoping that I'll learn. That automatically highlights the advantage of applying to a particular university. Open to suggestions :)
When you mentioned US family, you basically stated your intention to remain in the US for as long as you can and potentially apply for permanent residency. The student visa is not dual intent, it's for temporary studies and training.
This wouldn't have led to a rejection. Consular officer would inquire further about the cousin and what the actual arrangements would be. They will also ask for further evidence of ties to your home country
now they think that you want to stay in usa as yr cousin lives there so that is something which they don't want show them that you will go back after course completion 😁
They don’t care wether you go to Yale or some other university, they don’t have India style culture here ( iit and other bs) if you are qualified visa officer will allow you to
@@oguhkingsley I could not understand the accent of the officer. I got a bit confused there and could not handle the pressure of the occasion ! But I have my f1 visa interview now again on 23 August and I'm hoping for approval this time...!
its because he asked him whyyy you going to this university not why you choosed this university there is a huge diffrence plus he tells him about the family
He didn't show any tangible and personal reason he is going to America and Yale, and he has ties in US so he will definetly work and will not take the education serious, therefore he might quit the schooling and will still be in status of the F1 visa since he has not graduated
Visa officers want to know about why you interested there. Why not others. What is the speciality about this university. What's the outcome/ result after completing this course. What will your destination or planning be after completing.
I'm guessing 214 b. From what I've learned, everyone is assumed to be an intended immigrant. You have a matter of seconds to demonstrate that you intend to return to your home country after your "temporary" stay because of your strong local community ties. I have heard that family ties in the US is not an automatic disqualifier but talking about saving on travel expenses could have implied that you're not financially stable whether or not it's true. I have no affiliation, but Argo Visa @ArgoSocial would be a good place to start your student visa journey. They are not cheap but wasting your money on failed attempts and getting a permanent visa denial mark on your record is more detrimental IMHO.
The visa interview is getting rejected as graduation background (Mechanical) is not matching with the course I have chosen MBA (Business management). Can you help what should be my answer for this?
Staying with your cousin to save travel expenses is unrelated and out of contet information for the question asked. Sharing excess information should always be avoided while speaking with immigration officer.
Hi sir! I applied for my visa on 21st June in UNSW Masters of international relations Itr-26lakhs Funds -60 lakhs after initial fee payment and ohsc fee payment Ielts-8 bands Classes starting from 9th September when can I expect my visa decision?
Not convincing ! The reason why yale not other programs? How can it help you? What is its role in your future? It should be personal and unique. You also would better to show a tie if they let you.
Aoa, brother at the Moment I am in O-Levels. I am planning to get into a community college in the Spring intake. Can you guide me that what types of questions will I be asked by the interview officer? As I am applying into a college and not University?
