The post is just of how was my expreience and please suggest/comments for further process/steps for the solution of success in Visa.
Visa Interview First attempt in February 2019.
U.S. Consulate General Karachi.
Visa Status: Denied (Without any reason)
The interview was just 5 minutes long and dialogue during the interview between me and the Consular Officer are given below in the email. Consular Officer is a man around the age of 37 years old and Interview held in U.S. Consulate General, Karachi, Pakistan.
When I reached in Consulate General, Security officer told me around 200 people daily came for an interview.
During the queue, I observed and listened that 98% of persons are Visa denied. This is true that according to my observation approx. 95% Visa was denied. Even whatever of Visa type such as Visitor, Student, meeting with a family, F1, F2, B1, B2, H1 etc.
VO: Good morning.
ME: Good morning.
VO: Give me your passport.
ME: passed the passport.
VO: Which program are you going to study?
ME: Master's in Computer Science in the field of Data Science Track.
VO: When the classes will start?
ME: May 6, 2019.
VO: He was wondering in May 2019.
(It is my view that normally most of the U.S. Universities semester begins in September Intake.)
ME: I explained that there are four Entries for International students and I have chosen MAY, 2019 entry for admission
VO: No, another admission letter.
ME: I asked I-20? and passed to VO.
VO: He checked I-20 and tell there is \\\\\\\$25,130 and \\\\\\\$25,130 around total \\\\\\\$50,000.
ME: Yes.
VO: Who is paying your Fee?
ME: Myself.
VO: Give me your bank statement.
ME: Given and Explain. There are \\\\\\\$6,000 Initial Fee that mentioned on I-20 Form and after this University given me extensive financial aid through CPT.
VO: Have you paid Fee?
ME: I said not.
VO: Can you explain to me, I didn't understand?
ME: Explain again, CPT is Curricular practical training that is part of the degree program. VO was not understood Curricular practical training then further, I explained Curricular Practical training is an internship and University will help using Bank lown to tuition Fee, I will pay monthly-basis Financial Aid Fee.
VO: Bank statement and Bank letter. He didn't check and see anything after passing him.
ME: I was just looking at him.
VO: He was typing on Computer.
ME: You are not eligible.
VO: He given me the white paper slip.
ME: I asked did you mentioned the reason and I left the counter.
One point I want to add here, I have previously Schengen Visa and good travel history record in Europe and they didn't ask anything.
After this, I have talked with a consultant.
He told me they are not accepting Visas from our country and some of the students also denied for Visa even they got admission. He told me they will reject again. I think their policy is just rejecting and Consular Officer mentally prepare for Visa rejecting, However, you completed everything and all documents :). If there is some other country then maybe they will accept.
