What has changed since...? Don't answer no. 2.Be natural and speak confident. 3.being robotic or memorised or rehearsed answer can put you in danger. 4. Being nervous will cause a lot of words not to come out in English. 5. Be genuine with your answer

I have applied for J1 visa and it has been denied. I will apply again in two weeks. My mother lives in Turkey, Father in the UK and sister is in Switzerland(married). I'm from Turkey and studying in Bosnia. The officer only focused on how my father went, why he went and so on. I provided some short answers because I didn't expect that he would ask that much deep about my family. What's your advice for future applications?
This is about the 8 th video I've watched presented by Argo, love your content, some of it is quite funny, however what I find about the so called questions the VO askes is why ask a question that really means something else? Why not just ask the actual question. Anyway keep up the good work your doing a good job helping potential visa applicants.
very intelligent answers.
Thank Q so much team it helps me a lot and i hope u will come out many more videos like dis
I got rejected yesterday 😢😢 i answered all the questions properly without any nervousness but I don’t know what had happened
If someone has got Graduate Assistantship(GA), is there the chace to get visa? And if that is the case, can the applicant shows own bank balance certificate for extra expenses, especially for Air ticket, insurance and stationery? would appreciate your reply🙏
Thanks for the tips. Can I change from someone sponsoring me in the US to self sponsor? If I have previous travels outside my country from 15 or 20 years ago, should I mention them all or only mention in the 5 years asked on the DS 160?

Hello. I am 38 female born in Romania with german passport and living and working for over 10 years in Switzerland. I work in a hotel, F&B department. I ve got a working contract for 18 months, trainee program, in Florida. I am waiting for the documents so I can apply for a J 1 Visa at the US embassy in Switzerland. I am a little bit concerned about the interview and get the visa. I do not have strong ties to my country Romania not even to Germany where my parents are living. I do feel more at home in Switzerland but how to prove that. I am thinking to open a business/ hotel, after coming back from my trainee program in US, having the necesary knowledge. The trainee is in room division department, divided in 3 phases. I am divorced no kids and no relationship. How can I prove that I am coming back to Switzerland or what should I take care, be prepared for the interview? I want to have an exchange year in US since I was in school but my parents didnt allowed me and couldnt affoared it. After I got merried very early with 20 and my husband didnt allowed it. So now that I am divorced I want to havd this experience. Thank you for your help and any kind of advise.

Hello there! Thanks for the great content. I'm a foreign widow of a US citizen; We were living in Sri Lanka when my husband passed away. My tourist visa was rejected in 2019. What will I need to prove at the IW1 visa interview?
what should one do if he is from developing countries like Uzbekistan, where the percentage of getting the Visa is very low? what do you recommend for preparation?
Hope that you are doing great! I have just been denied for the 2nd time this year for my F-1 visa renewal for continuing graduate studies (I have one more year to finish). Could you please answer the following question? Is there an issue if my sponsor is an American resident? My GPA is over 3.7, I had all the documents, I provided the correct information to the officer and my attitude was positive throughout the interviews. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi.Recently I'm done with my H1B visa interview and I got 221g with yellow slip.What does it mean?.
My visa interview is this Tuesday 27th June 2023
Does Any attempts to log in to cho while your account is frozen will reset the clock or extend the frozen time?
Good day, I wanted to ask if I had 3 visa denials on the J1 visa and going for the 4th one, Is it still possible to get a visa acceptance and if it is can I still get a consultation for 30 mins because for 1 hour the fee is expensive at the moment
Does having family in the USA affect it chances of getting a visa. Like mother or siblings.

Hello! I filed for L2 visa extension (spouse I-129S was still valid) and got 221g processing. I got a visa after 70 days of waiting without any marks about processing in the visa. In 1 week after that I applied together with my spouse for a new visa because I129s was about to expire. And we was put to the processing again. Is it possible somehow to reuse the data collected during previous processing which had finished just a week ago to use it for a new one because nothing has been changed in my life, occupation etc. Because for B1/B2 visa if your visa was rejected and nothing is changed in your life between rejected application and new one, your new application will be rejected again. But does similar rule work with the administrative processing as well? I mean reuse of collected data if nothing is changed in applicant portfolio
How to answer for why u choose this University??????
Is not we are comfortable when doing the interview is like we are feared that all this whole process then you use a seconds to denied someone it’s very sad give him or her multiples of time to explain himself and what if he’s comfortable but he doesn’t much about the school most of vo can asked a lot of questions like what’s the motor of your school Thus these questions play a role in my studies ?
