It’s open secret that US Visa interview process can be tricky & complicated. Some of you must have heard stories of woes involving students who presented everything they were asked for during the visa interview and still their application got denied. Visa applications can be denied on a whim and a denial can be as confounding as it can be distressing. Moreover, re-applying for a student visa without knowing what you did wrong in the first attempt can be a set up for future denials, as the repetition of the same mistake is in the cards. Increasing the despairs will be all the wasted non-refundable visa application fees. Here is the recording of the session with Ex US Visa Counsel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j8Qo0A8pUA
