That was a huge deposit made before your interview.
You have also a sibling I guess in the states.
So I guess your application is lacking family ties the VO was trying to see what will bring you after studies. That's why you where asked if your company is sponsoring you, how long you have worked there e.t.c.
So work more on your family ties and also why such huge amount deposited recently.
Thanks.

I was also denied on friday Nov 1 , in fact my own case was, The vo was asking me if i have applied for fiancee visa before or am enagaed to a US citizen, which is a big NO, i told him am applying for student Visa for the first time , he looked at me, and his system and i could see on his face that he was surprised, i told him am just applying for student visa for the first time, he then went and asked about were am going and my sponsor which i told him, but i could see in his face he made up his mind and gave me the PINK slip. i was surprsied cos what he saw on his screen was not what i was saying, someone or something is wrong somewhere and that is what affected me during the interview, am sharing this because the most important thing when you get denied is to know why, yes! they wont tell you but you have figure it out yourself , get yourself back up and apply again , and Go with GOD , everything will be fine, for me i know now that a mistake in application is done or someone has used or filled something wrong about me. so next time i know what to do. so please figure it out , brace yourself up, i know how it is when u get denied , its seems like all your work for years was thrown out within minutes, but we have stand for our dream. good luck ...and i pray this helps anyone out there to learn. thanks yall cry cry undecided kiss

Firstly GRE is for postgraduate student while SAT is for Undergraduates

Not all schools require you write SAT for admission but most require for scholarship. Check your desired school requirement if its mandatory

Uriel12:
Good afternoon guys, I'm currently applying to the aurora university, for an undergraduate degree tho.
Is GRE and SAT compulsory for all US schools?

Anyone else applying there too?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Legit215(m): 4:18pm On Nov 04, 2019
That's up to you to figure out... If the company you are working for is willing to write a statement of purpose of your trip and also stating that a spot is going to be kept for you awaiting your arrival or as you said before it will help in your promotion... All this only matters if you have a well paying job and worked with them for a while.
If you have an immediate family back here that's a plus one again.

Broadway5007:


Thanks.

The name of the contact person in the school in the first and second 1-20 has changed. Also my intended date of arrival on the DS-160 is August 2019 instead of Jan 2020 ( i deferred my admission from fall 2019 to spring 2020).

I also noticed that the name of the course have been changed to Quantitative Economics instead of just Economics i used when filling the DS-160.

I hope all these wont be an issue.

The school contact person and your course is not a big deal.Quantitave Economics is a branch of Economics so you should let the VO know why you want to specialize in that area.

If you have not book your interview you can fill another DS-160 so that you can correct the information on the new DS-160 and use the new DS-160 confirmation number to book for interview.Alternatively,you can start a new DS-160 and use the DS-160 confirmation number on your ustraveldocs.You can log -in and change the details and then re-print.I have not done it before but I heard a few peeps have done it.

ques 2:he asked how long i spent there i said 1 week he said am I sure I said yes and further said it was 5working days although I went Jun 28 and left July 5th 2019.

The SOA is not busy at all.There should be series of inflow and outflow.How many months SOA did you print?If the VO checks all the pages and then first page he is probably comparing opening and closing balance.The #5m is a lump sum that could outweigh the opening balance. Did you mention your brother during your interview or list him on your DS-160?

Yes on my ds-160 i stated that I have a brother there although he didn't ask me anything pertaining my family and yes the account isn't busy because I found out last week my dad stopped making use of the account stating that he was told all the embassy needs to know is the closing balance and if money is in the account,instead he was doing his bussiness on his other business account not only that 5m entered 2 other lump sum entered last week.
