Hi ! Only your videos are really informative and so helpful. Can you please make a video on how to fill ds160 for the parents who are going to visit their son or daughter along with wife and also how to schedule appointment for interview .
Your channel is so underrated. Apoorva's videos were my first choice when I was doing the visa application. Her videos made me think how easy it is and I did it all by myself. You explain everything clear and short. I watched all your videos and also shared to my friends who were also filing for Visa. I wanted to say thank you so much as you made it so much easier for me and Thank God I finally got my visa. I always suggest your channel ro everyone who wants to file F1 visa application.
Thanks for putting so much effort and posting contents constantly❤
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. This means a lot 🤗
Hi, please tell me if I made a mistake in my DS form. As there was a question have you ever been refused a US visa? Nd my answer is there, yes. But I don't know the exact reason why I was previously denied an F1 visa.👈 That's it.
So, My question is here, (((Although I was rejected under section 214(b), but I didn't mention it there. Now am confused that I should have written this in the given description as a reason. Please tell me what I have to do next or it is okay ??

How I get Facebook and CZcams social media identifier for DS 160.
I am confused on two question. Who will be paying for my US trip? I have a funded PhD position as I was awarded a TA contract from the University. But neither in my bank nor of my parents are enough funds to support my trip i.e. VISA/SEVIS/Ticket charges. There is a charitable trust which will be taking help from various sources to get me travel grant. So, I am uncertain whether I should makr other or self? I have read somewhere that if one mentions other, then they should be ready for extra questions in the interview or with some document proof. What could be they, please suggest! And if I mention self, my bank statement should have that much amount maintained last six months, right?
Second question, what should I mention in my Present occupation? My PhD start date is sept 7, and TA start date is Aug, 29 but currently I am enrolled in a distance learning diploma program which will finish by April 2023. So, should I mention student? And in duties space, can I mention that ' I have to go through the study material provided and submit assignments online'?
