What is the most embarrassing thing about studying in the United States?

When applying to study abroad, everyone knows that it is difficult to apply for a study visa. Some students who applied to study in the United States have experienced the embarrassment of being denied a study visa in the United States. In order to relieve everyone's embarrassment, the following editor of the American Higher Education Network has compiled nine major factors for rejection of a U.S. study visa for your reference. 1. Lying or submitting false materials: Remember not to lie or submit false materials when applying for a visa. 2. Those with insufficient study abroad guarantee funds: Generally, applying for a U.S. study visa requires a financial guarantee that is “sufficient to cover all expenses during the student’s study period”, and the funds are required to be valid for more than 6 months. Currently, a considerable proportion of visa rejection cases are due to the financial guarantee provided by the applicant not complying with relevant regulations. Due to the vast territory of the United States, a large number of colleges and universities are located in various states, and the differences in tuition fees and living expenses are very significant. Annual tuition fees for general public universities range from US$10,000 to US$18,000 (approximately RMB 80,000 to RMB 145,000), while good private universities can cost US$40,000 (approximately RMB 320,000) or higher. The annual living expenses in small towns are about 6,000 US dollars (about 48,000 yuan), while in big cities it is more than 10,000 US dollars (about 80,000 yuan). Therefore, each applicant must determine the amount of financial guarantee based on the actual situation of the institution he/she is applying for and the courses he/she is enrolling in. Theoretically, the more sufficient the financial guarantee is, the greater the chances of getting a visa are obtained, and the deposit period of the funds must be ensured to be more than 6 months. 3. Those with immigration tendencies: Applicants with immigration tendencies are one of the most common reasons for visa rejection. The U.S. government does not encourage people to secretly cross the border and immigrate to the United States under the guise of studying abroad. Therefore, the visa officer will examine whether you have the intention to immigrate from all angles. In addition to preparing a reasonable study plan and post-graduation plans during the interview, the applicant must prove to the visa officer that he has no intention of immigrating. Get editor believes that the best way to solve this problem is to emphasize that you have enough reasons to "return to China after studying" and that China has unstoppable "binding force and attraction" for you. For example, you can own your own real estate, bank deposits, cars and other large-scale daily necessities in the country, or own your own company. If you have a stable career in China, you can ask your employer to issue a certificate that will allow you to stay employed without pay during your studies abroad. You are welcome to continue working as a franchiser after you return to China after completing your studies. Produce relevant documents to prove that you have family and social relationships in China that are difficult to break away from. I love my family, relatives and friends very much and will return to my country to reunite with them after graduation. The duty of the visa officer is to screen out applicants with non-immigration intentions from applicants with immigration intentions and follow the principle of "free admission". Therefore, even if the materials are fully prepared, there is still the possibility of rejection. Therefore, during the interview process, applicants must pay attention to saying less irrelevant words and giving less information to the visa officer that can create associations. 4. Unclear purpose of study: Some applicants did not know much about the university and major they planned to attend and were rejected. For example, someone applied to study at the University of Florida just because the weather there was nice. In addition, if the applicant does not have a clear study plan, does not know what to do after graduation, or even knows what they want to study, they will inevitably be refused a visa. You must explain to the visa officer why you want to study in the United States and why you choose this university and this major. You need to know your chosen university well and know what to expect. 5. Poor English speaking ability: When applying for a study visa, you should pay attention to your English speaking ability. Therefore, before applying for a visa, you should practice repeatedly in English on some questions you can think of. 6. Those whose academic qualifications do not meet the requirements: The applicant did not obtain a high school diploma, failed to be admitted to a Chinese university, or failed to obtain a degree from a university. For this type of applicant, the visa officer will come to the conclusion that a student who does not have the ability to enter a Chinese higher education institution or a student who cannot complete his studies after entering a university will generally not achieve academic success in the United States. 7. The appointment time for the interview is too late: We will definitely find many reasons to explain to the visa officer, such as the I-20 form is late in the mail, the passport is not obtained, etc. You must know that the visa officer will ignore these so-called reasons. What they really care about is that you must arrive in the United States before the start of classes at American universities. 8. Those who choose improper courses: If you apply just to study English in the United States, the visa officer will probably not grant you a visa. The reason is that there are many opportunities to learn English in China, and you can improve your English in China without having to spend $15,000 or $20,000 a year to learn English in the United States. Therefore, it is difficult for applicants who apply to study language courses or study English courses for one year before studying for a bachelor's degree to obtain a visa. Some schools will require foreign students to participate in language learning, especially students who work as teaching assistants. 9. Applicants with poor interview performance: For visa applications submitted to the U.S. Embassy by the Ministry of Education’s Overseas Study Service Center, the visa officer will select individual applicants for interviews based on the circumstances, and decide whether to issue a visa based on the results of the interview. If the applicant's answer cannot satisfy the visa officer or his oral expression is poor, he or she may easily be refused a visa.
