  1. Hello,
    I have a question in filling out the DS 160 Form. I am confused what should I select in " Who is paying for your trip". I have been awarded full financial support by the university except the travel cost to US , the university covers my full expenses of tuition and fees, room and board, health insurance and books. What do you suggest? should I select self or the other organization or entity?
    I am looking forward to hearing from you,

  3. 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?

  4. I was denied in Dubai the other day. A beautiful blonde young female officer denied me an F-1 visa with 214b. My situation: GPA: 3.85, IELTS: 8, GRE: 162 Quant, with graduate assistantship and tuition remission for PhD (civil engineering), cash in bank for one year of tuition and expenses, admission in a top-ten university, a property valuation report ($250,000), a valid UK student visa granted for this September. I was denied effectively because I am 39 and from Iran, and because consular officers are ageist and prejudiced against Iranians. I carefully and attentively watched "all" your videos before my interview, and I will tell you the truth: they are all useless and a waste of time! Just advertising gimmicks!

  5. 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?

  6. 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?
