Top reasons why student visa gets rejected (USA)

Obtaining a student visa is the first step in studying abroad after receiving an offer letter from an institution. A student visa requires careful planning because it can be denied for a variety of reasons. The F-1 Visa is the most common type of visa issued to international students who wish to pursue higher studies in the US. An F1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa issued to those who wish to attend a university or college in the US. This post will explain the most common reasons why the US student visa applications are denied Common Reasons behind Student Visa Rejection in the US 1) Incomplete or false documents: You have not provided all the supporting documents or if you submit wrong or inappropriate / false documents (e.g.: bank statements, prior education, etc) 2) Lack of sufficient financial funds: Your student visa will likely be denied by the U.S. consulate if you are unable to provide evidence of sufficient finances to cover the expenses listed on your I-20 or DS-2019 form, including tuition and living expenses. 3) The inability of confirming a necessary return to India after completion of education: If it is established that the candidate can be a potential immigrant then the visa is rejected right away by the visa officer. 4) Incapability to prove English Language Proficiency 5) Failure to explain the reason for choosing a particular course, university, or country: If a candidate is not able to convince/justify his/her intentions to the visa officer then there are high chances of visa rejection. Make sure you are prepared to answer why you selected the particular course and the college/university where you got admission. 6) Inability to provide convincing answers during the interview: This also extends to lack of communication skills as a reason behind the rejection of academic visa applications. 7) Failure to Pass the Security Check: All nonimmigrant visa applicants are required to undergo a security check in various government databases to see if their name has been tagged for any reason. If your name has been tagged on this system, you can be denied a student visa, depending on the reason *If you are unable to provide verbal or documentary evidence to support these factors, you risk having your student visa denied.* Rejection of the visa: The US Embassy informs the candidate during the visa interview and give them 2 types of slips: - 221(g) – This slip is issued when the embassy keeps the candidate’s visa on hold and verifies information related to the candidate whether he can be a potential immigrant or not. Also, they verify whether the candidate has sufficient funds and no home ties justified during the interview. After the completion of the inquiry, the candidate is informed whether his/her visa is accepted or rejected. - 214(b) – This slip is given when the candidate’s student’s visa is rejected and there are general reasons for it which are mentioned in the slip. There can be 1 or more reasons for the rejection. The following can be the reasons for rejection of the visa: a) Potential immigrant b) Inadequate finances c) No home ties justified during the interview #masters #studyabroad #ms #bachelors #phd #diploma #USA #visa #CommunityMentor

Why having a credit card is important in the USA ?

The advantages of having a credit card are dependent on what your credit scores are in the USA. Credit scores can be anywhere from 300 to 850. As an F1 visa student, the score might range from 680 to 710. A credit score can be considered very good if it is above 740. If your credit score is good : -You will have to pay less interest for loans in the future. -You will have to pay less security deposit while you are renting out an apartment. -You will be given multiple cashback offers if you have a good credit score. A score of 710 and above denotes that you pay your dues on time, you pay your interest on time, and you pay your credit card bill on time. You do not overspend. Spend only 30-40% of the credit limit. To have a credit card, you will need a social security number(SSN). To get an SSN, you will require an authorized work visa. All F1 visa students can work up to 20 hours per week on-campus jobs. To work on campus as well, you will have to have an SSN. SSN is a unique number assigned to each individual which puts you in the USA tax system. As soon as you get a credit card, you will have to build a credit score over a period of at least 6 months. Not all credit cards require an SSN, multiple banks give credit cards to international students based on the i20 and other documents. You have to submit your SSN after you receive it and then these banks can report your credit history. Various credit cards have various benefits like 1% cashback on everything and many more. Companies like NOVA credit lets you use your Indian credit history to apply for a USA credit card. You will have to apply from the USA for a NOVA credit card because it requires a USA address. This will not only help you build a credit history from day 1 itself but also will help you to get various rewards. You can also get gift cards after referring to other people or using other people’s referral codes. If you plan to apply for a USA credit card from India itself, neo banks like zolve credit cards are a good way to go. Many Neo bank credit cards can be availed by using your i20. How are forex cards different? Forex cards are prepaid cards that can be used for cross-country currency exchange. You will have to load a certain amount of money into your forex card. The disadvantage of forex cards is that it does not build your credit. The disadvantage of an international debit card is that every time you use it in a foreign country, you will have to pay a conversion charge every time you swipe your card. In the case of a forex card, the conversion fee is charged only once. A good way to select a credit card for an international student is to check if it has 0% international transaction fees( In case, you need any amount from your home country, you will not be charged extra fees). If you plan to get a credit card, don't forget to set an alarm to pay your dues on time. This way you don't get charged an extra interest. Other factors to consider while selecting a credit card are the APR, rewards, cashback, annual fees, and minimum repayment per amount. Hope this article helps you to understand a little bit more about credit cards and good luck with your study abroad journey!! #creditcards #masters #ms #bachelors #phd #diploma #admissions #applicationprocess #universityselection #studyabroad #tipsandtricks #USA #creditcards
