- Are you a graduate student applying for a U.S. visa? Well, your U.S. visa interview will be different than an undergraduate visa interview. There are some differences in what the visa officer is looking for and how they assess your case. Ex-Visa officers who are consultants at Argo have come together to have a discussion on how to succeed as a visa applicant when you are a graduate student.

2. Ties to your home country
3. Finance on how to😢 fund your schooling..
4.🎉
This is amazing i have learnt so much from the the officers and i had to take notes on my diary.
Thank you so much Argo team. It was my first attempt and I got the F1 visa. I got approved this last Tuesday 30 May 2023. I went with no Travel History. My passport was with no any visa. I didn't smile even one time. 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.
Are you a Sierra Leonean?
What are your strong ties back home?

Hello,
Hope your doing well.
What correction should I do if I'm Changing my University for second attempt of my interview , Like low Tution fee Compare to last Visa Interview.
Hi
I'm Ernest.
Is it good to go for an interview in another country if your resident country has not release any appointments date. If yes what should you expect.
Hello Argo Visa!
I am going to apply for a new F1 Student Visa in November for a Masters Degree... My last Student Visa expired in June 2021 so I'm going to renew it. In my country I don’t need to make an appointment before December 2022. So, it will be difficult to get approved? What should I know to get approved it? I am praying that everything goes well!
Had an app with this lovely Christa, so helpful for my F-1 and really made a difference
How do you advise someone planning to do a master's degree program intending to travel with a child.
Hi, I was refused a J1 visa Over a decade ago and I am now residing in another country...this year I'm gonna apply for F1, do I have to still state that I was refused a visa Over a decade ago even though I'm now in a new country during my application?
Hi,
Do we really need to show 1.5 or 2 times the i20 amount?
Thanx guys
Dear ma'am
I missed scholarship deadline of The University of Memphis that's why I did not get any scholarship and I have visit refusal of UK so it will effect me to getting visa?
Will officers know that i started my eb3 procedures (just passed the prevailing wage step and i interrupted everythin) in my f 1 visa interview
Thank you Argo. Is it advisable to Greet the visa officer before starting the interview
Hlo mam can you help me my field was science in graduation with major in physics chemistry maths my course in uSA is engineering management plz answer me the question ..why did you choose this course..
"How should I address the fact that my brother is on an OPT visa and my cousin is sponsoring my tuition, both in New Jersey, during my F1 visa interview?" Help me how can I answer this question and will it creat any chance of refusal?
please sir can I know with type of questions an high school student can have during interview??
Why do you want to study in US? and what's your purpose of going to US? Is a different question that looks alike... Please help me to differentiate it more...
Hi Argo and everyone,
I have got funded PhD program that also requires to show some family fund. Though my family showed financial support of around $13k, in my I20 it is still mentioned as $9k which leads my actual funding and estimated average cost for 12 months as exactly equal. May I know if it is too risky for F1 visa approval?
Because visa interview appointment dates will be available any time, may I know if I can request for modifying/editing some part of I20 (e.g., finance) after taking visa appointment ?
I don't think it's an issue if the estimated cost and actual funding are equal, that should be the ideal case. The visa officer just wants to see that you have enough means to at least cover your first year's cost of attendance. It is always good to have more than required in your bank statement so that if the visa officer asks for it, you have it ready.
I would like to know if the officers of the US embassy call the university where you studied to actually check if you studied because for me it is a special case and the university that I studied has closed .
sil vous jaimerais savoir si jarrive a gagner un Visa pour les 4 mois ya til une possibilite de prolonger une fois laba
If someone has really wants to help a brother to be sponsorship to study in us and saved in bank account enough money but his job is not professional, is that going to be bad for visa approval?
What date is the best date to schedule a visa appointment after a student recieves his/her I-20 or DS 2019?
I have heard that scheduling a visa appointment too early from the date of earliest admission may cause the officer to refuse the visa. Am I right?
Not booked before 120days.
Can we say that our current university is kind of dissatisfied,
Is 3 gpa good enough for graduate studies ?
What is the process to get consultancy from you?
Is there is any video on mock interview for H4 visa
Hello can hou help me gor booking expedited appointment please how can i contact im from Bangladesh
amazing information
Glad you think so! Thank you
How do we book for private consultation....Argo.
Interesting informative argo family. Denials or putting grad students in to 221g regarding to the US studied you mentioned clearly, but what if from other countries did they get same fate or not ?
Could you dedicate time in your videos on students going on a J1 visa? Do they get treated differently from students going on an F1 visa for example? Do officers have a different mindset looking at a J1 applicant as opposed to an F1 applicant?
Can there be an instance where a student is wrongly dissapproved by the visa officer?
Yeah a lot of you’re in a 3rd world country.
Hello,
I'm scheduled for an interview for 22nd of this month and I'm a first time applicant, what is the advice for me, Lagos Nigeria is my locaion
Same for me ,good luck all tge best
Hey I have been under administrative processing for my F-1 visa since December 2021. Can I re-apply for a visa to let them know I am still here? (whenever I call them, they don’t answer and when send an email I just receive an automatic answer).
It's sad. And very incompetent on their part.
Unfortunately! Do you have any advice?
Were you finally approved?
I had knee surgery a few months ago. Due to this, I want my wife to join me on an F2 visa and support me. Furthermore, we got married last year and want to spend some time together. During her stay, she plans to take non-academic courses and a volunteer offered by the university. Would this be a valid reason to convince a visa officer?
Dont mention volunteer work. You could talk about the non academic courses as long as they make sense
how do i contact the officers
I want to join Argo consultation. I am really excited to join your program but i have doubt that just one hour or 45 min talk with you guys, will i able to get visa??after 45 min consultation you guys won't help me and contact me again if i have any problem and in this case mock test is also important so what about this???plz reply i want to join if i get satisfaction answer
I don't think you have to lol. They already giving alot of useful information on CZcams. That's enough to get you through
My friends, so my name is Mr. chandra narayan, nationally bangladesh. can i get the good agro job visa, possible to do that please accept
Hello Argo! Tell me please, if I book appointment from as third country, VO can refuse my visa? Thank you so much for answer🙌
Applying out of your home country adds some complexity to your case. We can give you the best advice and strategy to overcome it and get your visa issued.
Please what is the advice, should in case I want to do that. Thank you
Can we talk more about F1 graduate programs
Hey Officers, i I have one visa refusal for community college,now i reapply for good university after my bachelor degree. Is there any problem next time Officers .plz tell me 🙏🙏🙏
You'll need to overcome the visa officer doubts. We can help you prepare to overturn the prior refusal. Contact us.
Hii Ben. I applied for F1 student visa for masters in aerospace engineering I heard few things that for aerospace the visa can't be approved is it true?
how did it go?
Good day, please is it possible I use two different proof of funding for my f-1 visa interview, one from my dad in my home country and the other from my brother which is a USA citizen?
Thank you for the response
Yes. You'll need to explain your entire case to overcome any doubts they have.
@@ArgoSocial Thank you
Will going to the US for my second masters be a problem to the visa officer?? I completed my previous masters (MBA) in 2020.
Same problem
Have u applied for second masters
thank you guys, i have a very strong tie! however i got rejected!🧐
What happen ??what are the questions they asked you ??
@@olaitanbenedict929 oh she just asked 2-3 questions! not much! i dont know maybe they have problems with second masters! but didnt let me to justify and convince her
@@shabnambhr5421 he already asked u 3 questions. What do you expect? 10 questions? its a quick interview you should explain yourself with that 3 questions.
Just wondering: suppose you're going for a PhD program and the university has granted you full funding in the form of an assistantship of 2,500 USD per month for the entire 4 years of the PhD program, will the applicant still be required to provide a personal bank statement with personal funds or the graduate assistantship letter will be enough?
You should be ready to discuss your whole financial situation with the Officer at the interview. Then, you should have organized documents to support that in case the Officer asks, but they likely won't.
@ArgoSocial Thanks a lot Argo. You guys are the best. Oh so that means a letter from the school confirming that the applicant has been granted a 4-year graduate assistantship which will be disbursed monthly in the amount of 2,500 USD will suffice for proof of funds for such an applicant?
Aren't F2 minors allowed to attend school in US? Is it a red flag to say that a minor will be attending school in the US as you study???
No, it is not a red flag because that is allowed.
@@ArgoSocial Thankyou for your support Mpower. My daughter and I, both got visas after 2 rejections
@@TheFabulous83 Awesome! Congratulations 🎉 If you don't mind sharing, please what will you say made the difference during the third interview. Thank you.
I wanted to signup for the consultation, but I wasn't satisfied with the privacy policies. Why collect so much information on me for just a normal consultation. My computer details IP address, browser used, location, personal details, etc. Are you guys agents of the FBI/CIA trying to collect information on us that might be used by the USA govt to track us?. How do you guys ensure confidentiality for clients?
All of our clients' information is kept strictly confidential. We are all ex-visa officers who were previously employed as US diplomats, but now we have no connection with the US government; we are a private company.
Please how may I contact you directly?
I want to talk to you privately
I went to Uk but I lost my passport once when I came back home is that effect USA visa
That won't affect it
