As for how to finance your education in the US ( 1:48 ), one option is to join the work-study program, you can use your CPT income to help pay your tuition, but make sure the university is fully accredited and you are legally authorized to do the CPT in your first year of study, job must be within 50 miles from the school campus, visit: www.work-study.us
Hi Eugen, thanks for visiting. Yes, you will want to be 100% honest during your interview. When it comes to showing that you have ties to back home, they will want to know what reasons you have to return home after your studies such as a job offer, assets, family and a bank account- so have those reasons in mind (your mom is one great reason to return home!). Also, regarding showing proof of funds, nearly 65% of international students in the US receive their biggest chunk of financial aid from their family according to IIE. Keep in mind that you're also able to use an initial loan approval as proof of funds. Good luck!
+International Student Thank You. about the home ties question. We don't have property under my name or my moms name. for my case my uncle and aunt are my sponsors their the one responsible with all the expenses. this is what i have for the home ties question. among in the siblings im the only one with no college degree so my mom thinks shes a failure on my part thats why i decided to pursue college even its a little late this would be the best thing could give her.
+Eugen Agitoy It doesn't necessarily have to be property that gives you ties to home. It can things such as a job offer, all of your family being back home, etc. Reasons as to why you would want to return home after your studies.

Hello, i'm from Algeria, an English student at University, and i'm willing to do a one month linguistic travel to Los Angeles with EF company. - I want to know what kind of question they me ? Thank you !
Kunal Chouhan Typically they want to see relationship ties to your home country. However, if you're in need of an international student loan she might be able to be a co-signer. She would need to now be a US resident that has lived in the US for the past two years. Btw, glad you like the video, thanks for watching!
+quad rocker90 getting denied into a university could have an effect on your visa approval. However, you will need an I-20, so it's great that you were accepted by one! You can view more items that might impact your visa approval here: bit.ly/1Y6NWf9
Hi Ms Davis, Thanks for this wonderful video. My sister is applying for F-1 student visa for her MBA from CCA in San Francisco she is already graduated with MSc in Fashion and Technology in India. I live in San frnacisco, so she will be staying with me. Is that going to help her visa or will that be a problem for her visa ?
+Maninder Singh, thanks for watching- we are glad this video was helpful! More than likely her living with you will not have an impact on her approval. However, keep in mind that the only way to know for sure is for her to apply and go through the process. Good luck to her!
actually I wanted to pursue my undergraduation degree in US so can u suggest me? like what requirements do I need and how the interviewer asks the questions for undergraduates
Please I need your help. During my first F1 interview, which I was rejected, i said i applied to one school... During the second interview, I said Two schools. The VO then asked why i said one school the first time and that was how i was rejected again. My question is how do I get out of this terrible position I put myself in. Please!
Hi, would " My father who is going to be my sponsor, is very patriotic. So, in return for his financial support, he demands that I come back and serve my country" be a sufficient demonstration of ties to home country?
Hi Turan, thanks for visiting! You must be sponsored by an eligible institution from the US to apply for a visa. To demonstrate ties to your home country bring proof such as a job offer letter, proof of assets, bank account information, and family. They might ask you what you plan to do after you graduate from school, going back to serve your country is a good answer but try to be more specific.
What I meant by sponsor is that, he's gonna pay my costs when I'll be there. I'm only 17, so I don't have any job offers, bank accounts or assets. The only thing that I can use as home country ties is my family and I don't know how to do it.
Thanky!!!For this video. Buy now i'm nervous, because i must go to the embassy. I have answers on questions. But i thitk this don't wright. I need help. This this very imprtant to me.

Hi I'm from Bangladesh.Im rejected my first time us f1 visa couse my agent's pay my sevis fee by too late.I wanna aply again so what I should to do for get my f1 visa.
Hello! I have a very important question. In a few months my girlfriend is going to be applying for a student visa at an english-learning school in San Diego, where I live. She lives in Colombia. I will be her financial sponsor, so I will be the one showing my bank account information, and paying and such. I was wondering, how do you recommend she answer the "Do you have a significant other in the US question?" Obviously we'd plan on telling the truth, but how would you suggest answering, and following up with it? I was really hoping you'd answer it in this video, but then it was skipped. Any help with that question would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Hi +tpeter07, good question. Yes, she must 100% be honest about this. However, what they will want to know is if having a significant other here will keep her from returning home after her studies are complete. Part of the F1 approval is agreeing to return home when her degree(s) are complete, so she should know ahead of time that she will need to return home and be prepared to any questions related to that during her interview. Good luck!
Thank you. We actually did just that, and the embassy was actually incredibly dishonest with us. They claimed we put "fiance" on our paperwork, even though we didn't. We were very honest and put that we are boyfriend and girlfriend, but they turned her down with that lie. It was very, very unfortunate. We even asked for proof that the paperwork said that, and they wouldn't give it to us. I'd suggest not going this route at all as a couple.
Hi, Im eugen from philippines 29 years old my aunt and uncle are gonna sponsor me to go to college there in U.S. I got admitted already from the school they choose for me which is near the place that they have, i got all the documents that i needed already for the interview which is i20,ds-160, and i-90i and some of the supporting documents like bank statements,affidavit of support and most of their bank accounts for the last 3 years, the things is as my interview date fast approaches im getting really nervous, due to i dont have any properties listed in my name or my moms name since its a family property, regarding also about the home ties question, since i was presented with this opportunity to have proper college degree by my uncle and aunt there gonna be responsible with all the expenses. can you please give me advice about the home ties questions, by the way my mom is retired already and shes turning 67 years old. Can i answer them straight to the pitch.
Hi Waqar, thanks for watching. That tends to vary depending on the school. Some require records of your financial status, some don't. You'll have to contact your choice school directly and ask them.
thank you for all this information. this is very helpful :) I have a question, I'm from the Philippines and I already have a tourist visa. i've been to the US nov.2014-march 2015 and may2015-sept2015 as a tourist. do you think that would be a problem for my student visa application? my interview is tomorrow!!! wish I had stumbled on your vid earlier :/
+star Gazer Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to go through the process as your approval or denial will depend on a variety of factors. Hopefully you'll get approved, good luck!
I have four year gap because of family problem. Before I was not able to invest in my study and now some fortune have been approved from hard work. I want to invest in my college degree so I choose US for my higher college degree. So I would want to know what is the best possible way to have an answer that would make me confident to answer during an interview?
Hi Pravin, thanks for visiting! My advice would be honest during your interview. There are many students like you that have taken a gap from studying. Be sure to bring them proof that you can afford your education as well supporting yourself while in the US. Here is link of questions and answers you can expect www.internationalstudent.com/immigration/f1-student-visa/f1-visa-interview-questions/
Hello I heard that if you applied in a community college, you should say that after your 2 years study, you'll transfert your credit to a 4 years university, otherwise, your visa will be declined, is it true ?
That is a myth. However, you should be very clear why you want to join a community college for two years and not a university. It all boils down to your profile and why you want a two-year education over a four-year education. Sometimes you might need just a specialized education for two years and then go back to your home country to a job and so forth.
Hii plzz answer my 1 questions my father was died before 2 years any now for my i20 my grand father and my mother going to sponsor but for my visa my paternal uncle is going to sponsor me if visa officer will ask me about sponsor there is any chance of rejection plzz as early u can
+ international student. thank so much for your help.. I would like to know... as am willing to opt a degree in theology in us.. how would the interview be orchestrated (questions). Have you ever come across students who have applied for a degree in theology.. need some advise :-)
+joel johnson Thanks for visiting! The process will be similar to those pursuing other degrees, however, they might ask you degree specific questions like why you're pursing this degree and your plans for after you have your degree. Good luck!
I would like to know does it matter I mean low academics. Well i had rejected for 1st time is this the reason behind my rejection could you help me out for my second attempt and thank you for your video it is really convincing Good job :)
Hi Wihad, We're sorry you were rejected! However, they should have told you at the time why your visa was rejected. You will want to work on the area in which you were rejected for before your second attempt, then try again. Good luck!
Hello Mam, I had applied for US student visa for 3 times but i got rejected and it is sad things for me . I am very interested to studyUS and study but I don't know how to get success .

Waiting for your response soon . Applying 4th time , Will it have bad impact for me to get visa ??
+Tara Rai Thanks for your comment, we're sorry to hear you were declined. However, they should have mentioned why you were declined your visa- you will want to take that feedback and use it to better improve your attempt next time. For example, if they said you need to show more proof of funds then you will need to find more funds. Good luck!

I'm applying again.. Give me some tips if possible Thank you

I have a good ielts score of overall 7 band score bt my high school GPA is really low. Is it possible that the VO will not issue my f1 visa due to low academic?If yes, how i can over come that in the interview. Please help!
Hi +Rohan Udas, your school GPA will play a part in your visa approval- however, they will also look at many other factors. Make sure that you also mention your test scores if you've done well on those, explain why your GPA is so low and how you plan to get serious about your studies. You're able to see what else will hold weight here: bit.ly/1VC0VES
Hi Vishal! Thanks for visiting! Here are some questions you can expect during the interview: www.internationalstudent.com/immigration/f1-student-visa/f1-visa-interview-questions/
Hi,I just want to find out,are you the one who is red of a group called F1 visa advisor,? I sent then an email and they said I sent them a copy of my i20.
So i live in sweden and have an interview for F-1 visa in a month, the problem is that i travelled to iraq 4 years ago, i was only 13-14 yrs back then, will they ask quastions about what i did there? will they deny my F-1 visa just becouse i travelled to iraq? everything else is on point, all the documents, and i know what to say/ not to say at the interview and stuff like that...

Hi, I have been accepted in a university at USA, I also got a graduate teaching assistantship and I have just received my 1-20 document. this document says I do not have personal funds but it also says that i got the graduate assistantship and department stipend. do you believe that I also need a sponsor (my father) in order to provide more funds, or is enough what it is stated in my I-20 form? Thank you
+oscar vazquez Unfortunately it will vary from one situation to the next- however, showing all means of how you're receiving funding during your studies is important and can help you. But keep in mind that if you have proof of funds without having your father as a sponsor, it's not always necessary to show you do have a sponsor. Once again, it varies in every situation, but good luck!

Hi, would " My father who is going to be my sponsor, is very patriotic. So, in return for his financial support, he demands that I come back and serve my country" be a sufficient demonstration of ties to home country?
Hi Turan, thanks for visiting! You must be sponsored by an eligible institution from the US to apply for a visa. To demonstrate ties to your home country bring proof such as a job offer letter, proof of assets, bank account information, and family. They might ask you what you plan to do after you graduate from school, going back to serve your country is a good answer but try to be more specific.
What I meant by sponsor is that, he's gonna pay my costs when I'll be there. I'm only 17, so I don't have any job offers, bank accounts or assets. The only thing that I can use as home country ties is my family and I don't know how to do it.

Hi, what if I say that my fiance is going to provide funds for my Studies?
thank you for all this information. this is very helpful :) I have a question, I'm from the Philippines and I already have a tourist visa. i've been to the US nov.2014-march 2015 and may2015-sept2015 as a tourist. do you think that would be a problem for my student visa application? my interview is tomorrow!!! wish I had stumbled on your vid earlier :/
+star Gazer Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to go through the process as your approval or denial will depend on a variety of factors. Hopefully you'll get approved, good luck!
i want know that my f1 visa got rejected, now i am planning apply again. what kind question visa officer will ask me now?

My significant other lives in the state of my school,(I'm in U.K.) will this hinder me at interview. Thanks
Hi Beth,
This is a question you will have to ask the U.S. government regarding immigration.
I have four year gap because of family problem. Before I was not able to invest in my study and now some fortune have been approved from hard work. I want to invest in my college degree so I choose US for my higher college degree. So I would want to know what is the best possible way to have an answer that would make me confident to answer during an interview?
Hi Pravin, thanks for visiting! My advice would be honest during your interview. There are many students like you that have taken a gap from studying. Be sure to bring them proof that you can afford your education as well supporting yourself while in the US. Here is link of questions and answers you can expect www.internationalstudent.com/immigration/f1-student-visa/f1-visa-interview-questions/
Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words. I'll remember it.
Hello
I heard that if you applied in a community college, you should say that after your 2 years study, you'll transfert your credit to a 4 years university, otherwise, your visa will be declined, is it true ?
That is a myth. However, you should be very clear why you want to join a community college for two years and not a university. It all boils down to your profile and why you want a two-year education over a four-year education. Sometimes you might need just a specialized education for two years and then go back to your home country to a job and so forth.
Hii plzz answer my 1 questions my father was died before 2 years any now for my i20 my grand father and my mother going to sponsor but for my visa my paternal uncle is going to sponsor me if visa officer will ask me about sponsor there is any chance of rejection plzz as early u can

I would like to know does it matter I mean low academics. Well i had rejected for 1st time is this the reason behind my rejection could you help me out for my second attempt and thank you for your video it is really convincing Good job :)
Hi Wihad,
We're sorry you were rejected! However, they should have told you at the time why your visa was rejected. You will want to work on the area in which you were rejected for before your second attempt, then try again. Good luck!

Applying 4th time , Will it have bad impact for me to get visa ??
+Tara Rai Thanks for your comment, we're sorry to hear you were declined. However, they should have mentioned why you were declined your visa- you will want to take that feedback and use it to better improve your attempt next time. For example, if they said you need to show more proof of funds then you will need to find more funds. Good luck!

Hy my name is Rohan . I'm from nepal. I've got my i20 from The University of Southern Mississippi for bachelor in information technology. I have a good ielts score of overall 7 band score bt my high school GPA is really low. Is it possible that the VO will not issue my f1 visa due to low academic?If yes, how i can over come that in the interview. Please help!
Hi +Rohan Udas, your school GPA will play a part in your visa approval- however, they will also look at many other factors. Make sure that you also mention your test scores if you've done well on those, explain why your GPA is so low and how you plan to get serious about your studies. You're able to see what else will hold weight here: bit.ly/1VC0VES

Hi,I just want to find out,are you the one who is red of a group called F1 visa advisor,? I sent then an email and they said I sent them a copy of my i20.
So i live in sweden and have an interview for F-1 visa in a month, the problem is that i travelled to iraq 4 years ago, i was only 13-14 yrs back then, will they ask quastions about what i did there? will they deny my F-1 visa just becouse i travelled to iraq? everything else is on point, all the documents, and i know what to say/ not to say at the interview and stuff like that...
+WhatEverItTakes As long as what you did in Iraq isn't anything bad, it wouldn't be a problem
So did you get your visa yet
thank you for all this information. this is very helpful :) I have a question, I'm from the Philippines and I already have a tourist visa. i've been to the US nov.2014-march 2015 and may2015-sept2015 as a tourist. do you think that would be a problem for my student visa application? my interview is tomorrow!!! wish I had stumbled on your vid earlier :/
Hi, I have been accepted in a university at USA, I also got a graduate teaching assistantship and I have just received my 1-20 document. this document says I do not have personal funds but it also says that i got the graduate assistantship and department stipend. do you believe that I also need a sponsor (my father) in order to provide more funds, or is enough what it is stated in my I-20 form? Thank you
+oscar vazquez Unfortunately it will vary from one situation to the next- however, showing all means of how you're receiving funding during your studies is important and can help you. But keep in mind that if you have proof of funds without having your father as a sponsor, it's not always necessary to show you do have a sponsor. Once again, it varies in every situation, but good luck!
