      @@muqaddsahify I did not book any argo appointment. I just watched their videos about no traditional student and F1 student in general then match the situation with my case . That's it.
      Your brother being your sponsor is not the issue , the issue is how to defend yourself that you're going to study in America, make them in position to believe what you're telling them, it's all about being positive and defend your case not complaining there ( I mean to the embassy)

    Great video from Argo! One can't help but accept the system even though i wud say that the entire process of F1 visa especially the interview goes against individual freewill like eat what you want to, study what you want to, where you want to (all within the socially legal confines of law). At one point in history slavery, waging war, killing were all considered legal. Maybe after a couple of decades the Visa interview won't be there. But for now it is here and you guys are doing a good job of preparing people for it.

      3) how you going to pay?
      most of the fund coming from cpt.the cpt process is like after 8 month...(he make me stop and said he understands what is cpt)..i will pay other required funds from my savings.
      4) show me your bank statement
      i gave him my bank statement and also my transferwise account statement with letter from my employer.
      ....he became silent and started typing.....
      so i took the time and started adding up to my story by saying...i am 32 and i have 3 kids(that make him interested)..they are 11, 6 and 2.....

Plus it was impossible to find a job at that time.. Then in 2022, i didn't get any admit (got but different country).. But in this whole period i build my profile in advance which will helo me in my Masters like certifications, professional courses, unpaid internships, conference, fellowship and freelancing... And now in 2023 i got my dream admit.. . Funding was stong... Just because i got panicked infront of the visa officer, i answered the question in a more complex way...and got my visa rejected.. 😢.. In this whole case, what are my chances of getting a visa in 2nd attempt? Becoz right now I'm familiar with all the environment.. But still..
