☕Chai Question: Have you had a visa denial before?☕ 🔴Argo Visa Coaching & Free Visa Interview Checkup Tool: bit.ly/argovisainterview Talk to an ex-visa officer to get your questions answered! 🔘Visa Interview Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0tvjihRHmP4mecnEFKvFtY…

I was denied a student visa last month. i listened to this video, got prepared and got my visa yesterday 😊 the most important thing is to be truthful, show how much you're excited about the program. And elaborate without adding unnecessary details (rambling) ! Also I believe that the officer himself play a huge role, the first one I got when I got denied was passive aggressive, the one I got yesterday was respectful, showed genuine interest and it looked that he was really listening to me, it made me feel comfortable best of luck to everyone!

Denied for a visitor visa in 2016 because of a concurrent immigration application. Had a research opportunity in 2017 so i applied for a J1 visa, denied again. I reapplied for the same visa again directly after, convinced them I was coming back so they made me wait like 1 month while they did background checks on me, it got approved. In 2022, my immigrant visa became due and I went to the interview, it was approved directly and now I am a green card holder! Never give up on your goals, just keep at it but do it in a smart way, Goodluck everyone :)

Excellent and very important video as so many students facing denial issues and it’s good to hear from someone who has actually served in consulate for years! Thanks for making this video Rob!

This is a great interview and a wonderful resource for the whole visa process! I work with many immigrants in the professional and specialist field. I'll show them your video.

Wow ! Knowledge is really the key ,I was denied a us Visa about 25years ago ,I've travelled to other countries but never went back until 2017 with my son because I wanted him to go on his school Disney trip and the experience of travelling,I was denied a Visa for him also,I was asked why I'm not going with, my response was not now,listening I realised I should have explained. I have the experience of travelling I didn't own a us Visa, all I wanted at times was to give 7years old son at time a chance to know another part of the world .very informative,.Thanks much

Thanx Rob this helped a lot.

My son made an appointment with the Fort Erie customs on Nov 17th 12 pm. We left Toronto at 7 am as we didn't know how busy the customs would be. Arrived the town of Fort Erie around 9:45, stopped at Timmy for breakfast, cashiers and customers were typical Canadian and super friendly, must say quite different from some Timmies in Toronto. There weren't too many that day so we were directed to one of the offices on the right side of the lane. Custom officer kept all our passports. We waited for no more than 10 minutes before they called my son. He was basically asked how he found this opportunity, job duties, university diploma and transcript, took no more than 15 minutes.

My English husband was denied an Immigration VISA to come to the USA a few years ago. I am American by birth and also a veteran. We were both 60 that year. He is an Army veteran with three head injuries (bayonet, bullet and explosion) and was beginning to have some memory issues. When filling out forms on his criminal past he failed to list a broken window incident (misdemeanor) at the age of 17. He was told he was denied for lying of government documents and being an undesirable. We were furious for a couple of months as we tried going through the appeal process but then my husband had a heart attack and needed heart surgery. So in retrospect that immigration guy may have saved his life because we certainly could not afford that kind of healthcare in the USA. Si instead I got a VISA to immigrate to England where his healthcare is there for him. The process is pretty awful though and the system really needs some work.

I just received my US Tourist Visa at the first time of asking. It was a brief interview. A good strategy is to be as clear and concise as possible with your information. My interviewer kept asking me about my academic credentials (I am a PhD student).

Thank you guy. Your videos are always helpful.

Thank you so much for makeing this video regerding 214(B) refusal. Really this video so important and helpful for us specifically NIV F1 Student.

All you have to do is not be nervous (they'll think you're hiding something/lying about your intentions) and answer all the questions they ask you thoroughly and truthfully according to the type of visa you're applying for, that's all there is to it! If you're applying for a tourist visa, tell them that you're on vacation from school or work and that you're visiting friends/family or you have hotel accommodations pending. If you're applying for a student visa, let them know that you're coming to earn a degree in your chosen field and that you plan to go back to your home country after to contribute to your field. The same thing goes for other types of visas. Be truthful and you have nothing to worry about. Remember, first impressions are very important. Go to the window, smile, greet them the time of the day, and just relax and answer the questions. The interview will last about 2 minutes maximum because they already know everything you put down on the application, the interview is basically to just confirm it!

Ben your the best 👍

Thanks for the video. It's really helpful.
