F1 visa interview: How important is your sponsor to the Visa Officer? Will your sponsor lead to your refusal? Or will it lead to an approval? Most likely the fact itself won't lead to the Visa Officer's decision, but rather how you present and explain the facts to the Visa Officer.

Ex-Visa Officer, Mandy Feuerbacher, shares her insights in this clip from our live video about the student visa interview.

  • Look, you guys are just great. You actually make visa interview look like it's not much of a big deal as most of us see it. Keep up the great work!

  • Hey Argo thank you a lot for this channel it’s really really helpful. Yesterday I went for my F1 visa interview at US embassy for the Glory of God I managed to attended the interview and my visa was approved. This is my first time and I can call it an opportunity for me. Continue with great work.

    If I may ask, Is a graduate public internship (GPSI) offered to a student from the school a part of funding that needs to be stated to the visa officer?

    My wife went for a B1/B2 visa interview yesterday. She was told that her passport will be ready for pickup in about 2 weeks. I checked on the Online tracker but it says its under necessary administrative processing. She wasn’t handed any 221(g) paper . She wasn’t even told by the officer that it has to undergo administrative processing. She just said it’ll be ready in 2 weeks. What could be the possible reason that it shows admin processing? Is it just a standard thing for everyone?
  • Please make video…is taking a loan benefit for approval of the visa?

    Hello, ARGO experts! "The question of who sponsors you" I have an interview appointment and am waiting for the date. I am sponsored by my professor. He wants me to help him with his research work, and he will pay me a monthly salary. With the salary, I cover tuition and living expenses. So what do you think I should answer?
  • Hey! Can I use two sponsors for my F1 visa? (my father and brother). Will it have a negative effect on my visa acceptance?
  • @ndehmarius4685
    Hi Argo. Pls if my sponsor printed out his bank statements showing his transactions between September 23th till 23th of December. Can I still use it for my f1 visa interview on 23th of May?
  • @yeswanthraj6652
    How should I answer to the question "why are you going to US?". Like should I answer saying I'm gonna pursue a degree in x major at x University or I should say about why master's, why this university makes sense to me and all?
  • @seyibakare5822
    How can I convince the Visa Officer that my sponsor is not related to me and not even based in my home country but in Europe?
  • Hi sir ! I’ve my personal funds and also my mother is my sponsor. How i should answer to this question?
  • @Prof237
    Hello Argo My passport is just 2months old, and I want to apply for my F1 visa, am I going to have a problem?
  • @johnsong620
    Can u change a sponsor after gettin a denial? I do need the answer really!
  • @pzphilipos
    The question, or the problem let say, is that the officer has no time to listen to figure things out and that will probably reflects in a distorted responses!
