    Hi, I have to ask you something very important. I travelled to U.S. previously as a crew member for a cruise. I have an active C1D visa but while signing off, as i signed off in the US and as i was a new crew member. My passport is stamped as parolled (DT) by US border protection. Now I want to apply for an J1 visa to work in US in one of the hotel for cultural exchange training exposure. Will that stamp play any role in the decision. It's purely a process of the company, those are new and not already 5 years if they are signing off in US.

    • @chaiandcoaching

Wont it be concerning to the officer that Iowa State has a 90% acceptance rate and i still wasn't confident of getting accepted? What do you suggest?

    I completed my bachelor's degree in Aug 2023 and then started to prepare for the GRE, and TOEFL. I have no current job right now.I am planning to go to US for fall 2024 on f1 visa. Will it occur as a gap? Since I have no current job, will it affect my visa interview? Because I did not have enough time to do job.

It was a fully funded Youth and Cultural Exchange Program where 20,000 participants gathered from 190 countries. Given the current circumstances, should I worry about applying for a U.S. study visa?
