Hi I got approved 2 days ago my interview was pretty quick and I wanted to say thank you. I watched a view of your videos day before and managed to secure my visa.

Mandy, people like me are grateful to have you here. Your video is really very helpful. Thank you.

Blessed hearing from you and I declare success as we move 🙏🙌❤️

I am a travel manager and I have been following all your videos and is really helping me preparing my student for their Visa interview. Acquiring more knowledge is power. Great job Mandy❤️

1st update :- You can apply for US F1 visa 365 days prior to the start of your program that but you still can't enter USA 30 days before the start of your program date. 2. The fees for DS-160 has been increased from 160$ to 185$. Now 5 TIPS 1. Don't give one word answer at your F1 - Visa interview. The first question the visa officer is going to ask you is with some variations. Why are you going to study in USA? Do not talk about irrelevant things. Answer should be informational and helpful and do not ramble. 2. Do not memorize responses? Have in mind top 5 things you want to say? They are experienced and they can quickly catch you. 3. Establish a connection with the visa officer. Look them in the eyes. Look comfortable and Confident. Sometimes, visa officer is typing and not lookig at you but still you should do your best.

Thank You so much, Mandy, for being insightful and giving us these little lectures, I appreciate the time taken out to make these videos for students. Just know that whatever good you do in this world comes back full circle, prepare for a huge blessing this year and also very sorry about your voice. :)

Listening to the officers questions and establish that you are being authentic and your answer is distinctive. 4. Don't change you school because it is not going to help you. Just prepare better for visa interview. 5. Prepare to explain your funding. If you have a sponsor that's paying for you? What your relationship and why he is going to fund you? Develop a context. Remeber, if you will not satisfy him/her, he is going to fill in the blanks himself.

i hope next year I will process my K-1 fiancee visa and i will always watch this kind of tutorial Thank you for having this .

This video is also useful in 2024.

Thank you Mandy, your tips are really helpful may God reward you greatly

You are fantastic 😊 thank you for sharing such valuable information

Thanx. I have given f1 interview twice, both rejected, now preparing for 3rd. In my 2nd interview my Consular Officer asked ‘How many I-20s do you have/where all did you apply/How many acceptance (as I recall)’

Thanks so highly for such great tip,am looking forward hearing from cus have interview in coming days.

Can a change of Sponsor be a good answer for what’s changed. ?

Hey Mandy I was apply for Highschool in USA with my agent and there are three student apply before me at the same school and the three of them got rejected and I will have interview 9, jaunary so am afriad they may be reject me please tell me what should I do?

Hi Mandy, thanks a lot for this. I was wondering, if I'm going as a PhD student and have been granted a graduate teaching assistantship which pays for my tuition and pays me a monthly stipend to cover living expenses, do i still need to provide a bank statement from a sponsor or the assistantship is sufficient in that case?

Thank you for your input in making sure that we succeed in our endeavors. My start date was September 2022 but because of the backlog at the embassy I was not lucky enough to secure a favorable date and I was pushed to 2023, I have been studying online though. Does the 120-day policy applicable to me?

In 2013, my B-1 visa application was denied, followed by a denial of my F1 visa application in 2022. I had applied for the F1 visa from the country where I completed my undergraduate degree and was employed at the time. Additionally, my mother currently resides in the US under the "withholding of removal" status, and my brother has faced five rejections for a B-1 visa. Now, I have received admission to one of the top universities in the USA and I am considering reapplying for an F1 visa from my home country. Both of my rejections was under 214(b). Given these circumstances, what are the chances of my visa being approved this time?

Help there please an you make a video on an F1 student applying with his dependent F2 and has an interview scheduled together? Some Questions and how to present themselves in the interview. Thank you

Your tips are very much informative I appreciate it . Please guide how to answer if the Visa Officer asks why you selected US For further studies or why this University? I hope will get positive response of this question thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Tnks Mandy May God bless you

Thanks Mandy for this I know I' ll ace in my F1 visa

Thank you for this information

Keep doing this great job. I've been sharing your videos

Could you please talk about those of us who changed schools for some genuine reasons.

Thank you Mandy. Those tips are quite helpful. However, I want to ask what's your advice for me on the fact that I've got a younger brother in the same school I've been given acceptance to study for my Ph.D.? My younger brother will be completing his Master's programme in Spring 2024 and return to my home country for a well-paid job and get married; while I will be resuming in the same school in Spring 2024.

Hi Mandy, thank you very much; the tips I learned from your videos really helped me with my interview, and I got my J-1. My program is fully sponsored by the U.S. Department of State (Fulbright). Also, the program fully sponsors my dependents, and I've received the DS-2019 for all of them. My concern is about their J-2 visa interview as my spouse can't speak English but my 13-years old kid can speak at an intermediate level. Due to closure of the U.S. Embassy in my home country, they need to apply to a U.S. Consulate in a third country. A recent J-2 denial under Section 214b - from the same program and country as me - scares me too about my dependents' case. I appreciate your advice in this regards so that they can well prepare for their interview.

@Mandy Feuerbacher thanks for the good work you are doing. .pls my interview date is 8th August 2023 and my school start date is 16th August 2023....could these affect my visa approval chances.....my emergency date has been denied and I am worried the 8th August would affect my visa approval since it's closer to the school start date ....

Make a video on B1 B2

i applied for morehead state university and got i20. my interview is already booked for july12,13 wish me luck

Thank you for the education. How do a student going for F1 visa explain sponsorship if the student acquired loan for financing the education.

Very helpful tips. Get well soon Mandy.

@mandy thank you for all the information you share here, it's really helpful :) could you please share that if one has been employed for a while but is sponsoring themselves entirely with a loan from mpower that is US based, what kind of questions could come up and what's a good way to answer them? Also considering they are of Pakistani origin, if that makes a difference. Thanks again!

This is really impressive. Thanks

Dear Mandy, Can you give tips / suggestions for F2 visa applicants.

Hello mandy can we get a video for students who have been denied visa before. So they can do no what to do or not and what they should expect Thanks

I really appreciate your work. My sponsor is my brother residing in USA with Green card, I would like to know if that could reduce my visa approval rates?

Mandy thank you for this useful information.. please can you differentiate to international students like me the difference between M1 visa and F1 visa and what program is suitable for M1 or F1 ?

Hi Mandy, thank you so much for this! I really appreciate you sending out this video with great tips. My son has a visa interview scheduled. In the application, we put in his passport number and then, when we saw that his passport is expiring in 18 months from now, we applied for a new one. If we bring his old and new passport to the interview, will they understand and proceed with that? Is there anything else we need to do/bring to ensure there is no problem with this?

Hi Mandy, i was denied an F1 visa because my immediate family (Mom, Brother and sister) resides in the US. I want to reapply, but i fear this might still affect my chances of getting an approval? I would be eternally grateful to you if i get a response to this.

I really appreciate this information

Thank Mandy to the great Jobs,please do they ask for financial statement ? If yes pls will i need to go along sode my sponsors statement of account?thanks.

Hi Mandy, thanks for your valuable videos. What about answering questions about plans after your program? I.e establishing ties to one's home country?

Thank You so much, Mandy, for being insightful and giving us this information. I have a question for you. Although I had a fully funded PhD admission, I have been rejected for an F1 visa request. Can I change my university this time and say this new admission is in a better financial situation than the previous one?

Thanks for a video

Hey Mandy I had a 3 years gap after i graduated from Highschool . I have been saving money for college during those years and additionally i used the years to just take time , plan , prepare for TOEFL , apply to colleges and take online courses . What do you suggest that i say to the Visa Officer and would that impact my Visa approval?

It was so paramount tnx sis❤

Can please make a video giving tips for F2 VISA interview

Thank you so much. I was awarded a GA position but I applied to the University using my mother's bank statement. While the bank statement contains more than enough money to cover the remaining cost of my studies, my mother is now retired and earning $500 monthly in benefits. In addition, my sister who is an expatriate with the United Nations pays our mother $2000 every month to care for her grandchildren, but this is not a formal employment arrangement, so how do I navigate this tricky situation in my visa interview?

Hey!! Thank u so much mam for this imformative video..i want you to tell me something more about what would the visa officer want to know from a student..i'll be very thankful to you if you could reply me ❤

😊Hi Ma'am, my GRE scores were canceled due to some technical issues, and as a result, the ETS website did not provide me with the scorecard. Due to my busy schedule, I haven't had the opportunity to retake the GRE test. However, I have applied to four universities where the GRE requirement was waived. So now, if the visa officer asks about my GRE score, what should I answer? Also, will the visa officers be aware of our test score cancellation or any issues related to our scores? I completed my Undergraduate in the year 2020 with a GPA of 8.2 out of 10 and I also have 2 years of work experience.

Most people are always talking about doing their masters, but I am going for my undergraduate degree, is the interview going to be different or are they going to ask different questions?

If an F2 Visa applicant suffers from breast cancer and has to prevent from reengagement by post treatment specific safety procedures, would this clarification alongside with an official letter authorized by her oncologist in first country, be a reputable evidence that she will not try to change her Visa to F1 at US, since her major is chemistry? Will this illustration persuade the officer?

thank you mam for your information ❤️

hi Mandy, your videos has been so helpful. thanks! maybe there’s a chance you can create a mock interview of a bad and good example

Hello Mandy, Please In the Ds-160 form 1) is mandatory to fills my parents date of birth ? because I don’t have that information. Will it affect my application?

Hello Mandy! Please read with patience. I am currently applying for an f1 visa to get an associate's degree in Biology at College of San Mateo. I intend to transfer to Cal State Uni after the associate's. My interview is on August 10th at the US Embassy Dhaka, Bangladesh. I completed my Secondary/10th exams in December 2021. During 2022, I had to take a study gap to get my documents sorted. My birth certificate was outdated as well as my parents'. I didn't have a passport so I had apply for that and I had a spelling mistake in my academic transcripts. Basically almost the entirety of 2022 went away by me making several visits to the government offices. But I didn't abandon my studies. I took preparation for GEDs at home. I will hopefully get my GEDs done at least a month before the interview. Can I add GED to my educational history in my DS-160? Like Name of Institution: GED Testing Service, Course of Study: General Educational Development, Address: 1850 M STREET NW, Washington, DC? I got this information by contacting GEDs help section. Anyways, is putting this information going to be a red flag for me? Should I put it in there? Also does not taking traditional 12th exams and taking a GED cause a higher chance of denial? Please do tell. Thank you very much for reading.

When you are denied a Canadian visa on the basis of misrepresentation, how does that affect your US visa interview?

Hi Mandy, I wanted to ask if it's a good idea to compliment the visa officer that she's pretty before the interview starts?😂

Hello Mandy, Do we have to say that we are planning to come back to our country after finishing our high school studies during our f1 visa interview for high school? I was wondering if you could make a video for high school. Thanks,
