We often get asked how to answer certain questions at the F-1 visa interview. People are always wondering what the Visa Officer will think about the University they have chosen. Former Visa Officer shares his insights on this question.

Hi
I got admission from Colorado State University. Thanks Ben. I had many personal reasons but your video helped me to organize them and hopefully present them wll to VO. I like Colorado, Texas, south western states because of their culture, weather. Because they are less populous. I had a friend in the University and that was my first introduction to it. And I like the program on a personal level because it is about social change.

Hi sir, thank you for all your advice. I need to ask a question, I had my DV interview and got approved, a week later the officer moved me to 221(g) administrative processing and request me to submit my resume. My question is that what do you think the reason of being adjudicated to 221g case , and is submitting an affidavit of support could help speed up my case processing (they didn't ask for it). You reply is really appreciated. Thank you

Why Edmonds College? How can i answer this question?
I went for an interview last month and was denied. Not because I didn't have funds. I had it and in excess via a scholarship. But the wicked VO never gave me a chance to explain anything as to how I got the scholarship. I'm sure he was so hell bent on denying me. I just wonder why a lot of VOs behave so irrationally. Now my plans have been thwarted, no near date for another interview, my start date is next month and every plan I have has been ruined all because of one jealous VO that sees everything bad in a foreigner getting a scholarship from the US.
