Some J visa applicants will not need to pay application processing fees if participating in a US Agency for International Development (USAID) program or a federally funded educational and cultural exchange program with a program serial number beginning G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-schedule-and-attend-a-us-student-visa-interview\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Schedule and attend a US student visa interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the last steps in getting a US student visa is to arrange and attend a visa interview. You can do this either online or using the phone, by calling your nearest US embassy or consulate. In either case, you should complete the MRV fee payment first, as you may need to give your MRV fee number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A consular officer will interview you to ascertain if you are qualified to receive a student visa. You must establish that you meet the requirements under U.S. law to receive a visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ink-free, digital fingerprint scans are taken as part of the application process. They are usually taken during your interview, but this varies based on location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After your visa interview, the consular officer may resolve that your application requires further&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas\/visa-information-resources\/administrative-processing-information.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">administrative processing<\/a>. &nbsp;Whatever be the case, the consular officer will inform you if this is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the visa is approved, you&nbsp;may need to pay a visa issuance fee, and make arrangements for the return of the passport and visa to you. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interview questions will focus on the following topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Why you chose to study in the U.S.<\/li><li>Academic qualifications (test scores) and questions about the university you enrolled in<\/li><li>Ties and obligations that ensure your return to your home country, after graduation<\/li><li>Proof that you have the means to finance your education<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"after-the-us-student-interview-what-next\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #a36820;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">After the US Student Interview, What Next?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Student (F and M) visas for new students can be issued up to 120 days in advance of the start date for a course of study.&nbsp;If your visa application is successful or unsuccessful, you will be notified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve been granted a US visa, you can travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (generally an airport) and request permission to enter the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the port-of-entry have authority to permit or deny admission to the United States. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you present your passport, visa, and Form I-20 at the port-of-entry, a CBP official will make this decision.&nbsp; Once you are allowed to enter the United States, the CBP official will provide an admission stamp or paper Form I-94, Arrival\/Departure Record. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-what-are-the-document-required-for-student-visa-interview\"><span id=\"what-are-the-documents-required-for-student-visa-interview\"><strong><span style=\"color: #a36820;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">What Are The Documents Required For Student Visa Interview?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are specific documents needed to be tendered before and during the student visa interview.

Nevertheless, you can reapply, and you can apply for a waiver of ineligibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are denied an F-1 visa, it is pertinent for you to find out why. For instance, if you are denied because you cannot prove you have the means to finance your education, you know what you have to fix the next time around. Many visas are denied because of missing or inadequate paperwork. When you find out why you were denied, you can fix the problem before your next interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reapply, you will have to pay the nonrefundable application fee of $160 again for each new application. Try not to falsify or submit fraudulent documentation as this may jeopardize your chances of applying for any immigration status in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common reasons that student visas are denied are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Lack of financial proof to fund the student\u2019s education and life in the USA<\/li><li>Missing or incorrect documents<\/li><li>The consular officer is not convinced or does not have documented proof of the student\u2019s intention to their home country after completion of education<\/li><li>Failed background check<\/li><li>Behavior during interview or failure to explain answers to the consular officer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are allowed to re-apply three times within a year.
