29:30 I don't think that's what she was asking for, The US they don't care what we do, when we do, gap years Gap concept is a very very Indian cultural thing. We don't belive in the concept of gap during educational or when working, If you take a gap, people around us presume your life is over cause you took a gap year. We don't have a concept of educational break, career break etc etc Ps: Love the videos
Thank you for the comment; yes, U.S. officers generally understand an educational or career break. To clarify further, Indian students overstress about a gap year, but a six-month or one-year gap (or even longer) is not a huge deal if you can discuss what you did in a way that makes sense to the consular officer. I tell students that while they are waiting for a visa slot, they can try for an internship or volunteer; it will give them something to talk about if asked, "What did you do after undergrad or high school."
How does the visa interviewer come to know that a student is permanent immigrant or just going going to complete his/her studies? Living for only student hours ?
just say that "I first thought about taking it but After my meeting with the admission department of the university, I got to know that there isn't need for GRE for getting into the X Program in Utica University" That's it.
@@YudiJ I’m also a student for spring 2025 in Rowan University. I have prepared about everything in deep and have every info which they can ask about (even my field of study). I hope I get the chance to study there 😁
My visa application got rejected last week. Now i want to apply again but my experience at the window last time was not good.The interviewer asked me about my university nd aftrr listening to my answer he asked about any relative in usa so i said no...cause i actually don't have one. He just gave me 214b nd refused my visa. Now I'm worried that if i occured again then they will ask me anything or they will do the same,,? Should i reapply or I'm doing a mistake?
Thanks for the video in fact I've a question I have a program of 3 years as my bachelor program but in my passport I have only 2 years for being expired, what can I do about that in view that I've read something about that published by the U.S embassy that said that current Passport valid for travel to the U.S the passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the period of stay in the U.S
They do not. They are under pressure from their supervisors and things like statistics. The law does not address this. Nor if it is a PhD or Associate Program. But the officers consider this outside of the law. Including your social status. It is the Cast system in the US Embassies. Remember they make an assumption in 2 minutes

Hi Yudi. My brother is currently working in the US under OPT. He hasn't gotten his H1B yet. Kindly let me know if this would impact my application in any way if I happened to mention the same to the visa officer.
Is there any negative impact for low cgpa students on visa interviews? Hence, there are some matters that need to be clear 1. If a student gets full funds/scholarship then it going to be easy to get a visa or visa ratio will higher, On the other hand, who is going to be visa interview from self funds where there has no funds/scholarship of he/she avail so that moment visa going to be rejected or its just a myth?
Hey yudi, I have a question. You must have heard of abet accreditation for computer science. I have already got offer letter from some universities. Some of them are abet accredited while a few are not. But, considering the location of some universities, I want to take admission into one which is not abet accredited for major in computer science but has a national ranking between 200 and 250. So, tell me if taking admission into not abet accredited university for major in computer science will have a negative impact or not? Further, If i want to transfer university in future, will it matter that I have done 1 year in non- abet accredited university or not?will my credits transfer or not? (Please reply as soon as possible. Only a week is left to accept offer letter)🙏🏻😢
Hi Yudi, you are doing a great job. My friend's son has applied for f1 visa. He will be going to carnegie Mellon University for Masters. He has his step father working in the US on L1 A visa. Will this affect his chances of approval? Is it necessary to mention this detail in his DS160 to improve his chances of approval?
You mightn’t have the business acumen you’d need to combine your critical technical skills to become a proficient business analyst. So, I’d recommend you go for a business analytics program if you’re passionate about solving problems and finding opportunities in today’s complex business world.
Hello Yudi..how are you? My son got admits for fall 24 1. Computer and information technology... Purdue West Lafayette 2. Computer engineering...SJSU Please guide us..which one is better?
Working in the call center industry since 10 years and wants to do masters in USA and also has a gap of this. Age 40 years. What are the chances of getting F1 visa after looking at my age?
My brother, I would suggest you to find better opportunities in India. I made the mistake of coming to the US and it's been an absolute disaster. Only 3-4 people I know personally have managed to find a job and remaining 256 of my batch are struggling even to get an internship. The market is absolutely saturated here. If you are able to unskill, get unskilled in india. Paying 50-60 lakhs and not having a job at the end here is setting yourself up for debt. Truth be told, it's been super depressing here. It's not sunshine and rainbows, I made that mistake but I guess that's life. You need a lot of luck to make it here. I wish I had taken my chances in India. I hate the fact I am in debt now. It's not sunshine and rainbows here, don't let anyone fool you into believing that.
Hi! Yvette here. Your age will undoubtedly be a factor. You must be very convincing when discussing the reasons for returning to school. Your major will also be in question, so the choice of the program has to make sense to the consular officer. Good luck!
@creativeplanet2820 I have about 6 years of experience, and I've worked in the life sciences tech sector. I'll be honest with you, no matter what sector you're from unless you're absolutely brilliant at your field or you have like a solid reference who can get you a job here then I would suggest make that journey else it's just going to be tough as hell unless the universe is rooting for you. Some people are super lucky, like 5 in 300. Someone who believes that luck favors their chances is a fool, is what I would say, so if you're in India and have decent experience working on your skills , get a better paying job. However, if you love academics and are really invested completely in tech, then I guess you can make it here, but you would still have to network like a madman to make it.

Internship certificate can be used and you can explain about your role and responsibilities of the internship. But gap more than 6 month is not a good thing. I myself faced this situation and was refused 2 times. So I genuinely advise you be clear and confident on the gap issue whether it may be a of 1 month or 1 year.
