US Visa Rejections at Delhi Consulate Highlight Interview Response ChallengesPreviousNext

Examples include a sports fan denied for lack of engagement and a student whose responses were deemed insufficient, despite financial backing. The posts emphasize the importance of clarity, confidence, and relevant answers during interviews, amid upcoming changes to US student visa policies.
