I had been to USA, legally, in 2012. When I was applying for a tourist visa back then, I was asked if I have any relatives living in the USA and back then I was engaged to a US Resident. Trip purpose was to see him and I was approved a visa. Odd, right?

In 2014, I applied again but a consular officer refused to give me a student visa because I was in a relationship with a US Resident. I tried again a week later, brought additional documents to prove my intention was to study and come back. I was rejected, again.

Things did not go well, we had disagreements with my former fiancee and we ended our relationship. However, I had continued intention to study in the USA and I applied for F1 visa 5 month after my initial visa refusal. I was questioned about my social status - if I am in relationship with a US Resident or not and I said no. However, I was not able to prove that I am not in relationship anymore, therefore I received another visa refusal. It was psychologically draining interview. I was refused F1 visa 4 times now. Every time I received a refusal, I reapplied again after 1 week.

I was recommended to apply for a visa 6 months later.

Now, I am wondering if there is any chance for me to apply and get visa after 6 months or not. I am not in relationship with a US Resident anymore. But, I am not in relationship with anyone else at the moment either. I was able to get into one of the most favorable, education and climate vise school in states and it happens to be located in the same state with US resident - former fiance's location. I also got admitted to other schools in Canada but I am not favoring it at the moment for location, curriculum and weather reasons. This time, I am bringing a letter from an employer and additional artifacts proving my strong ties to my country, such as properties and cars which belong to me. I am here to ask for recommendation or suggestions on extra documents or how to prepare myself? What are some possible complications in this situation which I may face?

When you file a week after a denial you seem desparate to get to the us and the CO can see that.

I mean why apply after a week, if you don't overcome why they refused you in the first place they will keep denying you.

You seem desparate.

I thought you had a GC?

You claimed in a different post you had a GC and were trying to apply for naturalization...

What I don't understand is what do you stand to gain from posing different scenarios in different threads?

Troll?
