F1 VISA

[Odai Daoud 0]

Hi everyone,

I hope you doing well!!

 

I had an interview for the F-1 visa in Dubai, and they rejected me. is it desirable to apply again from my home country? should I pay again for the SEVIS fees if I apply again with the same I20 Form? or just the appointment fees? the MBA program at the university starts on 25th of October.

All my documents were clear and i got rejected under 214(b) 

 

Thank you

Where you denied from a 3rd country? I've seen this before where a student was living in a 3rd country

Where you in school at the time?

 

i think you can interview in your home country, but check with the school's DSO.  What can you provide to overcome the 214(b)?

Desirable is an odd term,  you can.

 

Make sure you adequately address the reasons for the rejection.

Yes, currently i am a residence in the UAE, originally from Jordan, The school starts on the 25th of October, Do You Have any Idea if only I should pay for the interview or i have to pay for both sevis fees and appointment fees?

That is a pretty broad category . . . you will need to address the reason before you try to re-interview.  You will need to pay the fee.  Interview in Jordan.

i don't think you do again but check with the school's DSO.

You don't need to pay the Sevis fee again but you have to pay for your new visa application DS160. Remember that just because you are now applying from your home country doesn't mean your approval is warranted.

Did they tell you why you got rejected?

 

Most common reason would be lack of funds. Make sure you show that your funds would match whatever the university is estimating. Also, contact the people in charge of visas from the university and check with them if you were missing anything.

 

I'd definitely try applying from Jordan, your home country. But again, try figuring out why you got rejected in the first place. For instance, what did you say what you would do after your MBA? Did you give a good explanation about why you wanted to do an MBA? It could have been an issue with your answers.
