      The consul's decision-making process is shrouded in uncertainty, with no clear guidelines or criteria for evaluation. While some individuals invest considerable effort in presenting a comprehensive picture, the consul may dismiss their efforts as superfluous. In contrast, others may adopt a more concise approach, only to find that it fails to satisfy the consul's expectations. The path forward is unclear, and it is difficult to determine the most effective strategy, whether it is to provide a brief answer or to elaborate at length.

    Their so called "sixth sense" has cost so many people their entire careers and has also made careers of many underserving people. Do they just forget or ignore that a visa interview is not supposed to be like a job interview? Every person is different. Some are more confident while others aren't. Some can have mental issues like ADHD, OCD, etc. Why do they ignore this simple fact? If they have to interview hundreds in a day then why not just add more officers instead of denying people who spent a big chunk of their hard earned money and time on the visa process and planned their careers around it or whatever. There is no excuse. It's just pathetic.

    They denied my girlfriend to visit the US even though she has her own business, family that lives in the Philippines and she has land that she owns. Yet they told her that she has no strong ties? It's absolutely ridiculous. The whole thing is BS! It's not an interview at all. You're just a number. They only give vague reasons for why you're denied. Doesn't matter what documents you bring because they don't even look at them. Then they charge you now, a hundred eighty dollars per interview even though it's very likely most people that go to the interview don't even come close to the qualifications to travel. It's all about money. Yet people can come across the border illegally all the time, it's not about security or safety, it's just about stupid government that is ineffective and not efficient. It's not right when people go about to enter my country the us legally and are denied yet people can freely come across the border unchecked. It's all broken. $180 is a lot of money to a Filipino.

    Thank you for this information. I've lived in Viet Nam for a little over five years and married a VN citizen. We applied & paid for a visa for my wife, then we scheduled the interview. I wasn't allowed to attend the interview and her visa was denied. MY WIFE'S VISA WAS DENIED. The reason, my wife told me, was because she doesn't have enough stamps in her passport, which sounded arbitrary to me. Now we're spending our money visiting other countries so we can pay for another interview and pay for a trip for my wife to meet my family. After the failed interview, I suggested to my wife that we fly to Mexico and walk through the open border, like everybody else. If millions of new immigrants don't need a visa, why should my wife?

    Thank you for the video.
    I just want to say that the Visa application process is awful and very humiliating.
    1. You could do it online
    --> We live in a digital century and you do not have to waste your time, energy and money to attend the embassy. WHen you get there for only 2-3 Minutes go get a "No" - you feel like an idiot and you just hate the World at this point.
    2. You pay, but there is no guarantee you will get what you paid for
    --> paying 175$+ is not a joke and it really feels like you have been scammed after officer finds it weird about how you would like to visit US.
    3. Visa Online Application is extremely frustrating
    --> you literally have to speedrun the application online otherwise you will receive a message "Session timed out" and you have to do it all over again and again until you make it quick. I honestly think about all people and if I were someone who created these regulations: how can elderly people get this done by themselves? They can not. So that is something about caring about people of all ages.
    4. Provoking illegal immigration
    --> I wonder why? If people can not get to country they want to live in officially and enter the US legally - what choice do they have if their families and friends are all in US? Of course you will have this problem.
    Well, there you go. This is just another example of courruption being unbeatable just because of the profit.
    Remember that you have to pay first without having a guarantee you will get what you paid for and secondly you have to physically get there when you could do it online for those mere 2-3 minutes. Awful and humiliating. You really feel like an idiot and scammed at the end.

    It is very concerning to me as a US citizen to know about this horrible problem of not allowing good and honest people to travel to my country. It seems like something I would expect from a dictatorship. I married a man of Indian origin in 2014 and it is now almost ten years later and still we have not had any success to get my brother in law a visa just to travel to visit us. My husband has a big family who all owns property and businesses in India and has plenty of evidence of their ties to India. We are completely isolated from my husband’s family here unless we are to travel to India which costs thousands of dollars each time and puts all of the burden on us. We cannot even invite our family members to our home. So many birthdays, holidays, weddings and funerals have been missed. My family has not been able to build any bond with my husband’s family. We have not had children also due to the lack of family being able to visit. We don’t want to raise children without the possibility of being visited by aunts uncles and cousins. Our family is deeply injured by the current way things are done regarding tourist visas from India to USA.

    The consul holds the key, no rules, no guidebook. It all depends on their so called mood and perspective. Some people provide all the details, but the consul might think they're blabbering. Others keep their answer short, but that might not be enough; Some people share it all, but the consul may not be impressed. Others keep it brief, but that might not work either and most of the time you still get denied even though you have strong family, social and economical ties to your home country.

His parents applied for a visa to come visit him, not an immigration visa btw, and was denied after 3 questions that they weren't given time to answer. The interviewer saw his picture in uniform on top of the documents but didn't even look at most of the documents prepared.

    As I said in another video, this whole process is humiliating. You carry your literal life in your documents you're bringing on an interview to literally beg a country to let you in, but if the "officer" doesn't like how you look, how you smell, the brand or color of footwear you chose to wear that day, or he's having a bad time and his latte is now cold, he can deny you without even giving you a chance.
    I hope the Chinese do the same to the people of the US once they become the arrogant bully in town.

They have only looked at the letter of invitation. I had mentioned about the ties they have to the country in it. They genuinely cannot overstay. They have not even asked about any questions about the ties they have to the home country.

So my question is, should I turn up for the interview with the old passport with less than 6 months left to expire since I used it for the online application, or I should go with the new passport for the interview?

    some ask more questions to applicants even they are stuttered.
    some ask two questions to applicants even they got more to say...
    it seems like they didn't wanna give you the chance.
    i think the next time when the interviewer was being silent.I'm gonna answer the one question longer.give it all the information i got.at least leave no regrets for myself.because some interviewer would not volunteered to ask you one more.
    so you need to giving the information yourself.
    anyway.just try it next time that we ready.and we should take it as our first attempt.not looking it as failure.
