Friends, this text was very useful, I am writing its important points to you because the officer had an interview with Iranians, the questions that were asked in the following order: - If you received a loan, or where the cost is going to be financed, don't just maneuver on financing, talk about its repayment, for example, how you are going to pay back that loan. - Does university rank matter? No, because the officer does not know all the universities. What is important is your relationship with that student, not how that university is in general. A special professor or course or being strong in a certain subject. How you found the university is important, but it is better to maneuver on a specific topic in that university. Even if the university is famous for a certain field unrelated to you, tell me why a certain department is strong, and it's okay to talk about a specialty. Tell me honestly about the reasons you chose there, not things that can be searched on Google, never say because the tuition was so low or high or because the state is expensive. If someone introduced you, especially if he is American, you don't see your connection to the university with that person, or the way you know someone there, he helped a lot, it has a negative effect. Distant your application from people you know there There is more sensitivity on stereotypes, for example, there is a large concentration of people in your country. The officer said that especially Iranians choose California. - Shall we take important documents? Real estate, liquidity and real estate are not important at all, don't take them with you because a lot of money is not a sign of Tai. Don't overwhelm the officer with documents or information, just give enough context. Sometimes the documents can be effective, but very strategic and especially, in such a way that the officer's opinion may even change. Documents that are related to your future career or career path in your country and show your responsibility there, but show them very strategically. Look for proper English terms instead of explanations. For example, if someone other than the university fund is going to pay all or part of your expenses, don't explain, uncle, aunt, father, friend wants to give, first say I have a private scholarship and the officer will understand completely, if he wants an explanation, he will ask. Learn where you should stop talking and don't say unnecessary things Generally, three sentences for each answer is very good (the officer said that if you are going to take a breath and talk, then you are talking too much!) What are the good things? Liquidity, real estate, wife and children are not at all important because basically everyone immigrates alone and criticizes things in absentia, family comes later. Talk to Josh about career paths and goals and focus more on career or academics. Be sure to mention your father's mother because the officer expects to hear (they are old, they support, family business). Ties of affection are different from ties of "making you come back". - Who is an unusual applicant? Gap above, starting bachelor's degree over 23 years old and master's degree over 30 years old. They have more risk. Or you changed the topic of something completely unrelated, you should explain why you changed the topic so much. Or study in the middle of working. An important point is that if you don't have a master's degree or a doctorate, you have been working for several years and have been quite successful, then go and study in the same field of work for a master's degree or doctorate for the first time or again, it is doubtful because if you get your card, there is no reason to want to study. Unless it's a completely different issue, and you have to explain why it's useful and you're already successful. Previous registration: even with 5 registrations, there is no prohibition to get a visa. The longer the distance between rejections, the better, and the officer can make a better and easier judgment and review for you, don't rely too much on the previous officer's opinion. Be sure to make a change between projects, career or academic. Especially if you are rejected for a master's degree first, get a master's degree in your own country and then apply for a doctorate, it is very good. Be sure to remind the officer how long ago your last visit was (for example, sometimes the officer may not be aware that a year has passed, he may think that you have just arrived) Are sensitive subjects risky? For Iranians, yes, but it is better not to focus on the field itself and what we study in it, focus on your career projector that even if the field is dangerous, what you are going to do with it and what you will do with what you have learned. And what connection did you have with this matter from the beginning? The last point is to practice with a few people so that you remember to say those strategic points under any question and situation, because you may have a good case, but you forget to say the necessary things. The officer likes to give a visa, but if he feels that he has not received enough and necessary information, he prefers to reject it, so be sure to say the things that affect the procedure.
