- The default in a visa interview is refusal, you have to convince the visa officer that you deserve a visa issuance.
You need to communicate the highlights of your case and provide positive evidence that you deserve a visa issuance while countering the negative aspects of your case. This is how you will avoid a 214(b) visa refusal.
With Argo Visa you get the chance to work with the visa interview experts, our team of former visa officers. 👥 👥

I'm sorry to say bro it's 100 Luck and approval depends on faith 🤞with visa officer mood
Good luck..tell us what happened after the interview and if possible what went on
Wishing you best of lucks in your interview!!
Kya hua bhai interview meh ?
i got my visa approved yesterday and i must say your videos helped a lot.and i had a totally different idea of the interview before watching your videos.
Just got my visa approved today just after a couple of weeks watching your video! Thanks
Congrats!! Thanks for the support.
I am begining to think the US B1/B2 visa interview process is a flawed one. How do you refuse someone with who earns more than $85,000 annual income after tax and has a recent travel history to Cairo, Casablanca, Dubai, and Johannesburg? Someone who has partly funded his brothers Masters education in the US paying more than $20,000 in the process? They don’t give you even 1 minute to explain the merits of your case when you are talking about your purpose of visit. Instead, they interrupt you in less than a minute and make up their minds in 30 seconds. Why would someone want to leave their lucrative job in their home country to live in the US with no assurance of work? I think the process needs to have a reassessment someday. My two cents.
Exactly
They want us to keep coming back and definitely it's all about money
I totally agree, just in 30sec can’t judge the person. He took 6min to explain why visa get rejected from this video,
@@venkateshbabu1611 like what's happening in the last three batches here nobody gets approval, so obvious they follow the politics just get money from hard word that's it
I believe this is a money making thing

There is just something about ben❤

I was denied before...how did u passed the 2nd time...can give idea?
Practice practice practice, as 99% of the time they'll ask the same questions so we should practice our answers to build confidence. Here are the questions which I was asked :
Purpose of your visit?
Is your organization a US base?
What's your job profile?
Have you visited any other country?
Are you married ?
Do you have kids?
What is your salary?
Here are highlights in my answers :
-US base organization
- Invited by our Chief IT officer
-I am IT lead and Subject Matter expert
-I have my own property
Let me know in case of any other questions
. happy to help😊
Did they check your documents?
@@skincarewithmimi No they didn't
Didn't they ask about why you were rejected earlier?
Hello Ben! Great video as usual! so let me understand this 214 (b) , We put a lot of specific information on the DS-160, answer all the questions or explain our case at the interview just to get from the consular officer an ambiguous decision based on that generic section?
How would a visa officer react after learning the fact that an F1 student has a plan B by applying for other countries like UK or Germany , while that student is being interviewed?
I am going for my interview in 9 days for a B1/B2 visa, its my first time how do I navigate this to get an approval.
Hello 👋 I just wanted to Thank you so much today I was accepted for B1/B2 visa interview
I did properly followed your techniques and strategies
I did watch all relevant videos of Argo YT channel.
I was nervous but I was honest to officer during Interview.
Only 2 questions were asked to me and with 1.5mins approx interview was over.
I gave answers and She did check my passport and type something in system.
She said at last Your visa is approved Congratulations .
It was very very i would say mixed feelings & after approval Oh my God
Really want to Thank you Argo Team.
I specifically listened Mr Ben 🎉 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Ben,
you are really doing a very good job , am really inspired and educated by your kind polite explanations,cudos to you keep it up but how ever i have a real quick couple of questions to ask you below::
Q1)what is the real official US government site to surf and to be able to fill in the DS-160 forms??
Q2)After submitting successfully the completed DS-160 forms, how do i schdule my appointment for interview?? is it by calling the consulate or embassy or there is an option on the DS-160 forms to select for the schdulling??
Your videos literally helped me to get my visa in very first attempt .. thank you so much ❤
Congrats!
Hello, I have question that (4:38 )How my sister in the US who is married to a US citizen and has a green card counters "You have a sister in the US".
Thanks you, Ben, I got my visa approved today. I was just refused one month ago. I watched a series videos in this channel and gradually figured out why I was rejected and how to improve this situation. I'm really passive in the first interview. I feel so nervous that I almost answer every question officer asked with less than five words. She rejected me in three minutes without checking any of my materials. But this time, I prepared a long answer contain all my highlight for the first question (What are you going to in the US) and guide him to go through my materials. Everything goes smooth! I really appreciate your generous sharing.🙏
Congrats! Thank you so much for your support. Safe travels!!
Your videos are very insightful and inspirational. Thank God I met you and your team
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you so much sir..got my f1 visa today ❤credit goes to you
Congrats! Safe travels!
Thanking you is not enough! May god bless you and everyone u love! ❤
Money business here in our place. Consulate is manipulated by the politicians and business company. Keep on accepting applicant but once heard where they work they refused
hi ben i been refuse for 3rdtime im honest and little bit nervous while on the interview but still denied😢 i dont know the reason
I'm going to be staying with my Uncle who is a US Citizen and also my sponsor how can I counter this if it is seen as a negative? I should also mention i've been approved a B1/B2 visa before
Wait, are you glowing Ben, there seems to be this angelic allure around you. Then again it could be the camera.
Watching this video two days before my interview
Good luck!

💔I was so disappointed and saying to myself maybe is the fact that i am black dont know and my program will start pretty soon but why did i pay for everything then if they don't wanna give out visa
We are sorry to hear about your refusal. Unfortunately, it's usually not for no reason but finding out that reason can be very difficult. We can help you determine what went wrong and why the Officer made the decision they did. You can book a consultation with one of our Officers on our website at www.argovisa.com.
Hi Ben, I was refused a J2 visa last time and I was told that I didn’t have enough ties to my country. So I have reapplied. What should I be expecting
Thank you so much😊 but as I am a very young 18-year-old student Does my age really matter?
Hey! I'm applying for an C1D Visa, should the current job match with the job I'm going to do in the cruise ship which I have to fill on ds 160 ?
My friend visa has been rejected four times. He was really disappointed and asked if there were any chances of approval if he reapplied. The officer kind of said it’s not possible and that he is not qualified enough to enter the USA. They also asked if he made any changes in the DS-160 form. Even after he mentioned everything, they were not satisfied and rejected his visa. I don’t understand what the reason might be ? Please let me know.
Thanks for sharing. We can't make an assessment on what went wrong without speaking in depth to them about their case and situation. One of our Officers can work with him during a consultation to give him the answers he is looking for as to what really was going on inside the head of the Visa Officer and what the best path forward may be.
Should I bring a new I20 From another University

Hello sir my f 1 visa got refused 3 tiime i want to connect with you sir !

I have been accepted into Drexel University in Pennsylvania for a master's program in mechanical engineering and have received a scholarship. I own a business in Iran that includes three beauty salons. I want to study ergonomic chair design for beauty salons to prevent back injuries during my master's program. The head of the mechanical engineering department at Drexel University is also an Iranian professor. Should I mention this in my interview and even try to communicate with this professor? Would this be seen as a positive point, or should I avoid mentioning it because we are both Iranian?
I got my usa visa approved thanks for your advice sir❤🎉🎉🎉
Congrats!!! Thank you for the feedback. Safe travels!
If visit visa how much we can be take cash?
Something I dont understand is why having a relative in the US is a bad thing. Doesn't it usually mean that they're able to financially support you and provide you assistance? (genuine question)
It can actually be a good thing! This is where presentation and your specific personal situation can make a big difference on the outcome.
@@ArgoSocial I just got my visa approved yesterday, your videos helped a lot, thank you!
Congrats!
@ArgoSocial thank you! However, my visa still has not been issued, and its already been four working days. Could you please explain to me the process of the visa issuance, as I can not find any videos or websites related to this? What goes on after my visa has been approved, and why does it take them so long?? I would be most grateful if you could spare a few minutes of your time to give me a brief explanation.
A friend of mine was charged with petty larceny 20 years ago and did 200 hours of community service. She is going in two weeks for her B1/B2 visa interview. Will she be automatically denied? She's never been in any trouble with the law since.
While it won't be an automatic refusal, this will be a tough visa interview. Our team would be happy to help them to give them their best chance at approval. There are lots of factors that will need to be taken into consideration such as what they have been doing the last 20 years, where they live, their travel plans, their personal situation, and so much more. They can book a consultation at www.argovisa.com or you can send us an email at hello@argovisa.com if you have any other questions.
I paid my SEVIS FEE through a money order before 12 days but the payment was not done yet. How many days will be required to process my money order?
Please talk about M1 visa
F1 vise refused ,on PhD fully funded scholarship
I got a job offer from Alaska and I am persuing H1B visa. I plan to indicate previous denial when filling the form. Will I get the visa since I was denied Canada visit visa with a 5 year ban
I have a question that I was on j-1 visa and i returned to India 4 month ago and I am subject to two year rule also I found on google that I can apply for another visa like visitor or study visa but i am not sure when can I apply for that. How much do I have to wait if i want to apply for visitor visa while I am in my two year rule period time.
Hi Ben, my question is: my mother is retired (69 yrs old) and does not have any source of income only her savings and support she receives from me and my brother. She lives with me, the breadwinner. My brother who lives in the US (US citizen) wants us to visit for Christmas; we live in the Caribbean. She will be traveling with me. I have traveled to the US a few times (recently renewed my visa, which expired last October) but this will be her first time applying for a visa; she has an appointment in March. She does not have any ties a part from her house. However, she is an avid churchgoer so we were lucky to convince her to miss 2 weeks of not going to church in her home country while she is away. There is absolutely no immigrant intent on her part. So what are her chances of getting a HB1/2 tourist visa? How can she sufficiently convince the Officer that she will be returning home?
We would be happy to work with you and your mother to give her her best chance at approval in a consultation with one of our officer at www.argovisa.com. You can also try out our free Visa Check-up here: www.argovisa.com/visa-checkup
What a great job Mr Ben you are the real champ 👏

Sir i reschedule my appointment after 2 weeks of my f1 visa denial. Can you tell me how i ans this question( what in your situation has changed since your last interview)
It needs to reflect your personal situation and it will be unique to you. We can help you with this during a consultation. You can book at www.argovisa.com.
Hello,
Please how can you explain my refusal after been granted the visa three times and I've never overstayed or been convicted with a crime or any of these stuff, I'm been rejected three time in a row after being approved three times in a row, the interview always goes perfectly I always explain everything they ask for and basically it's the same thing as in the interviews where I have been approved, what's the difference ?
We need to speak with you to better understand a lot more about you case to figure out what likely led to your refusals to help with you a plan for the future. You can work directly with a Former U.S. Visa Officer at Argo to improve your chances.
You can book a meeting at www.argovisa.com.
@@ArgoSocial thanks for your reply.
Dear sir, my f1 visa got refused in 2007, now I got an opportunity for H1-B visa. While filling ds160 I see a question asking 'have you ever been refused a us visa or been refused admission to the united states. Do I need to mention about my f1 refusal details or it's not required as it's H1B visa and not related to student visa. Also it's been 15 years since it happened, do this history exists?. Kindly suggest
Can you read the question properly?
Have you ever been refused a US visa? YES. Any visa refusal anytime in your life needs to be mentioned.
Thanks sir
stay with me here. I want to apply for a second working holiday visa for AUSTRALIA (I’m a UK citizen) I had a 3 year exclusion for overstaying an Australian visitor visa. I was unlawful for a few days as I couldn’t get back to the UK because airports and flights shut down due to the Covid Pandemic. I ended up staying in Australia for about 1 year on Bridging visas (visas that let you stay legally in the country while you make plans to depart) my question is if my Australian working holiday visa gets rejected will that jeprodise my chances of getting a visitor visa for the USA. Apart from this I have good migration history and as of a few months ago was on holiday in the US but becuase my exclusion to Australia is over it wasn’t necessary for me to inform the US
This is a nuanced situation with a lot of details. Ultimately you need to have a plan for effectively communicating this in the context of the quick visa interview while also showcasing the other factors of your case. This is what we can help you with during a consultation.

Hi, I was wondering if I have a strong case. I want to get my B1B2 visa to take the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). However I haven’t gotten out of the country yet (Philippines) and I just resigned from my PT job (This January 2024) to focus on my review. My parents are funding my review, exam and trip to Hawaii (where the exam will take place). I have resigned, yes however I have private home service clients.
Will my inexperience of not having had a visit to other countries and my recent resignation be seen as a negative? Is my case strong enough, do you think?
Could I use my private practice in turning my negative (my resignation) into a positive with said private practice?
Would love to hear anyone’s response. Thank you

Lol you people don't lie. You always reject our F1 visa without any reason😡We are not sad about rejection. But as I got refused in November, I am not able to get refused slots. If we ask any query in CGI website you people ask us to wait for 352 Days. Waiting for 352 days is so much disheartening. And we are spending a lot on USA process. I spent almost 3 Lakhs. I got rejected for Northeastern University which is a top universitiy. You people simply reject us without telling any reason lol. In future we will show what indians are in our own style💯 Literally playing games with us. You people treating F1 students as slaves and terrorists. We are going to study and improve ourselve. But you people dont even have any mercy on students. Why USA universities are giving admissions if we are not qualified for F1 visa? 214b is a worst reason that we get as a common slip for every refused candidate. Definitely karma will hit back 🤞
They based on how we speak so if you're nervous they think were lying but i knw a lot of people got their visa but not honest though. Also they based on their mood, so frustrating
You people are even afraid to conduct Visa Friday on Facebook as you are getting so much genuine negativity from the students. So you dont want to show the real side and covering by not conducting visa friday doubts on Facebook.👎😡
This is merely luck trust me
So sad my visa interview was refused..And got 221g and US embassy Manila have a form that I need to submit another Cenomar, because need to change and correct the name of my parents there..I live far from manila I need to travel by plane to get there in US embassy with my 10 years old daughter.But after that,I went back to my hometown and get new Cenomar and it's updated and I correctedy parents there already,and I followed what they instructed me to mailed it through LBC so I did it..And after 3days they got my Cenomar and passport..But the embassy call me that they need another Cenomar again..And that time they said they are the one who will requested to the Philippine Statistics Authority..I get confused...why they not accepted my Cenomar....But I just hope and pray everything will be ok..🙏🙏🙏I'm Gngelyn Guardiario from Philippines and I'm processing k1 visa...

Usa visa is just bias how can a Consular just think for you. Most Genuine people are just denied visas . You must change your style. Uk are more lenient abit
Changing the process and system is extremely challenging and unlikely. While not always ideal, we know exactly how the system works, so our goal is to give applicants all of the tools and resources they need to succeed within the current visa interview process.
Hello Argo, did you mention any scenario where a F1 visa applicant has had refusals from two-three other different countries, on whether that will affect that applicant F1 visa success?
This will have a significant negative impact on your case. Visa Officers often look down on applicants visiting multiple countries to do their visa interviews and even have a term for this called "Visa Shopping". We strongly recommend you work with someone on our team to come up with a custom strategy to help you have your best chance at an approval in the future.
@@ArgoSocial I think I might have miscommunicated.
I meant, would US immigration have an issue with an applicant who applied for student visas to study in those respective countries, e.g. New Zealand or Canada, but were refused by their officers to study in their countries. Will that history cause an issue if the applicant was to apply for F1 visa for the first time?
I didn't mean to say the applicant was applying for F1 visa from different countries.
