As for waiting for 6 month, it doesn't apply to F1 visa category; in fact, you can apply for another interview tomorrow and appear before ending of this month. However, that is not the best advice in your case. Were you offered scholarship? If you truly want to get your visa, do try and get some sort of funding before you reapply, no matter how small. You need to talk from your heart to your department or admission coordinator. Let them know you have been refused the visa and one of the reasons was that, you were not offered scholarship, and that the VO assume you may not be able to afford it (even though this is not the case for your sponsor). I have had a few students use this emotional message to change the mind of those in charge of their admission, and eventually, though thanks be to God, scholarship was offered and a new i-20 was issued. Try this same and let me know if it works.

Best of luck!

Is it necessary to wait for 6 months before reapplying for F1 visa after visa denial? My interview on Monday in Lagos the VO asked me just one question “what significant change was made on my application” and my response was that my sponsors bank statement, I ve my mums savings account opposed to the previous current account I used.
NOTE: before this denial my previous interview on February 25th the VO gave me 221g form and requested for my sponsors bank statement but after I submitted it my application was still refused.
Tuition and expenses is 25k and my sponsors has over 15m in the account.
The thing just tire me. Wha

Did you get your visa too?

[congrats, I was there and remember you, you wore a black suit and got interviewed by that nice VO]

No way! You will have to carry your own cross, and appear for your own interview, with your own application!

Hi guys, my mom was granted visitors visa into the USA last year, she was offered 2 years which is to be expired in January next year, while she renews the visa is possible for her to attached a son (me) to the Dropbox, if so please what are the requirements and what are the chances of approval for me.
Need answers please

I think this is the hand of FAVOUR! I know a student who were like him on the day of his interview, 3rd appearance though. The woman was just looking, and when the student was done with the response, she nodded her head. Then she started advising the student as if she is his mother, or sister. When he got out of the embassy and call to narrate the story, I just dey laugh. He prayed a lot though!
If you have read or heard about unmerited favour, this was a good example. Some of us are given things we do not qualify for, because it is the appointed time.

4gunners:
The VO has already made the decision before interview. The talk talk na just to fulfill all righteousness.

Congratulations!!!!

emhenzy:
NO! It clearly states that it’s for people that have visa or expired visa not more than a year.
Apply for visa and include that you are going with your mum. If your intention is to visit your siblings in the US that went there as no immigrant and have overstayed then there are high chances that they might deny your visa

I spoke to some peeps who helped my mom with the visa and all, they told me there is an option to include a kid when reapplying for a visa I just need to know how true this is.

Big congratulations to you!

Guys, I'd like to ask: what's the dimension and background of the passport photographs one should take for the interview?

Thank you.

Hello house, please I have question :

If my uncle is sponsoring me, but he plans to give me his own company's Statement of Account. When I'm filling my DS160, will I still write that it's family sponsorship on the sponsorship page?

To the best of my knowledge, this is not advisable. But go ahead. Write his name as the sponsor. Let his Statement of account carry a reference letter. defend the relationship at the embassy.

Hi Gurus,
I am a Ghanaian applying for F1 visa in Ghana.
I have been accepted into New Jersey City University for fall 2019.
Program of study is B.sc Accounting.
My sponsor(uncle) is in the USA, I have his bank statement.

My question is how do I answer when I am asked why my uncle is sponsoring? Because I don't want to show strong ties to him (it may let the CO think I won't return) and I also need to give an answer as to why he agreed to sponsor me.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Okay, thanks

You have the answer. Let's assume I am the VO, "Why is your uncle sponsoring you?" Think about it! Why is my uncle sponsoring me? post it here.

He has always been interested in my Studies growing up, always asking how I am doing in school, After I told him my plans of getting my bachelor in USA and how it will help me as a person, he agreed to sponsor me.

Hope this is good enough

Alright. Thanks
