    Usually, there should be a significant change by the time you’re reapplying. An example of a significant change is getting some sort of funding if you didn’t have any the last time. If you already had funding and you think you were denied because of your legitimacy as a student, maybe you could try providing a letter of support from your university/college.

    Hey Aisha. It’s normal to be nervous but don’t let it overwhelm you. About what to wear, it really is up to you. Nobody is looking at how you’re dressed and that doesn’t have any real impact on the outcome of your interview. Just wear what you’ll be comfortable in because you’ll be standing for a while, that’s all. Good luck tomorrow.

Now, when filling out a new DS-160 form, I’m asked if I have been refused a visa before. So I answer - yes, then it requires to explain. Please guide me. Should I write this or can you suggest a better answer? I HAVE BEEN REFUSED A U.S. NONIMMIGRATION VISA BECAUSE THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CASE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND INCOMPLETE. I UNDERSTAND THAT WAS MY BAD NOT TO BE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY REPRESENT MY REAL INTENTIONS WHICH WERE EDUCATIONAL. THE PROBLEM WAS I DID NOT TALK ABOUT MY TIES TO MY HOME COUNTRY WHICH ARE REALLY STRONG ENOUGH.

    Hi Amara, I hope you're well. So I applied for an undergrad program to Wisconsin University, I didn't get the admission based on academic factors according to them but then they offered me an admission to their smaller branch school, Wisconsin University - Barron cou nty. (Not sure if that's a pre degree program yet, waiting to get my letter and form 1-20 from DHL in a couple days) but my question is when asked how many schools i applied to, should I tell them I applied to the main uni and then they denied and transferred me or I just say I applied to the Barron county uni straight up? Just tell me what you think in general. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Hi. I just looked up the school and I don’t think there’s a need to mention that you got denied and transferred to the smaller branch. Just say you applied to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Be sure to specify Eau Claire because there is at least one other University of Wisconsin (the one in Madison) and those are two different schools. However, check your I-20 when it arrives to be sure of the name of the school written on it. Long story short, say you applied to ‘name of whatever school written on your I-20’

You should just be ready to prove in whatever way you can that she’s really your aunty. For the second question, yes having your mum as a sponsor is also good but I think it really only helps your case if she has a very good source of income. Also, if you decide to add her on your DS-160, you need to get an updated I-20 that reflects her as one of your sponsors too. Your DS-160 and I-20 need to correspond.

    1. If the request got approved, I don't think it matters now. Just go for the interview. 2. Yes it matters that you applied to one school. It's not a good look for you. I suggest that you find 2 to 3 other schools which you can say you also applied to. It might also be a good idea to find schools that have something in common with the one school that you'll be attending. 3. If you're already schooling here, then you likely will run into some problems. You need to have a good explanation for why you want to abandon your current program for something else in the US. 4. Refer to 3 above.

    Hi. I’m not sure when slots become available for those who have been previously denied, you just have to keep checking. Also, I doubt you’ll get asked why your application was denied in the past. What you’re more likely to get asked is what has changed since your last denial and you should be prepared for that.

    I really don’t know about this because it depends on the context. I’d say, don’t mention anything about it if you’re not asked. Also, I suppose the assumption is that people apply for their visa in their country of residence so if this isn’t the case, it might be a red flag to the visa officer. So, if you’re not asked, it’s probably best not to mention it.

This should work because there's no way for the visa officer to know how many/what schools you applied to.

Please do you think I should have waited until I saw a date that is earlier date? cos the dates kept changing. 2. Can I reschedule the appointment and how many times? Cos I read the number of times to reschedule is limited. 3. I read that one can apply for an expedite appointment only 60 days to the start of the program. Please do you think I should apply for the expedited appointment now or wait? Please help me with your responses and suggestions. Humbly waiting for your responses. Thank you.

    Hi. No, you shouldn't have waited. What you did was okay because you can always reschedule when a closer date becomes available and if that doesn't happen before it's almost time for your program to start, you can request an emergency appointment. I believe the limit for rescheduling is 3 times and if your program start date is not 60 days away then you cannot apply for the emergency appointment.

I didn't see anything funny. I was so serious I couldn't fake a smile but was just focused with eyes contact to the consuler officer while responding to the questions. I have strong ties back home. That's why I got my visa approved. I am employed for 6 years now in the same company. I am a Logistics Manager with a good salary. I will pay my studies by myself and got 25% of scholarship from the university. I am Married. I have no siblings or parents in the US.
