I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent revocation of my visa application. I believe there might have been some misunderstandings that led to this decision, and I am kindly requesting a reconsideration of my case.
 
I did not understand the importance of the rent agreement as part of the immigration process. In my situation, I had been in contact with a senior of my admitted college, University of texas at Arlington. I met on LinkedIn who had agreed to provide me with a rental agreement upon my arrival in the United States. Unfortunately, it is common practice that landlords do not provide agreements without meeting the tenant in person. I was caught in a situation where I needed to show the agreement during immigration without actually having the opportunity to enter the country and meet the landlord in person. I provided proof of our discussions and constant communication, but they are not able except the truth. 
 
Additionally, the issue of the loan amount presents a similar challenge. The loan amount is directly transferred to the college, and I receive funds on a monthly basis upon request. However, the officer requested to see the amount in my personal account, which posed a challenge as the funds are not meant to be stored there. Also I showed the proof of that loan sanctioned of rupees 52 lakh 20 thousand for my education by orginal letter given by the bank. Even I requested that if you they feel that suspicious about me, I will pay the first year tution fee right at that moment, where I can prove my candidacy. They didn't agree to that also. Apart from that my sponsor grandfather has savings of 36lakhs in his Savings account, which covers entire 1st year tution fee and living expenses but they didn't even considered the bank statement of it too. I would like to clarify that I understand the need for financial documentation, and I am more than willing to provide any necessary records to verify the legitimacy of the funds.
 
 I firmly believe in providing honest and accurate information, and I felt that my attempts to explain the situation were not taken seriously.
With respect to the agency's involvement found through my texts, I genuinely sought their assistance for mock interviews and documentation support to ensure a smooth transition. My reference to offering a token of appreciation for there guidance in the form of chocolate was meant to convey a light-hearted gesture and not to trivialize the situation. They started to mock me while answering. Also took my picture in his personal phone by a male officer and started to make fun of me for my honest answer. I understand the gravity of the immigration process and did not intend to undermine it. I was honest where I had not paid a single penny for any of the immigration process. From applying to admission, attending admission related exams and immigration was all done by me.
 
I am deeply disheartened by the perceived rudeness of the immigration officers during the interaction. I firmly believe in following proper procedures and providing accurate information, and I expected a fair and respectful conversation regarding my case. I apologize if my explanation about the agency involvement and token of appreciation came across differently than intended. I understand the importance of upholding the integrity of the immigration process. Also they didn't provide any copy of the reason for my deportation.
 
I kindly request the opportunity to appeal this decision and provide any additional documentation or information that might clarify the situation. I assure you that my intentions are genuine, and I am committed to adhering to all immigration requirements and regulations. If there are any specific procedures or documents I need to provide to facilitate a reconsideration, please let me know, and I will promptly comply.
 
Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal. I am hopeful that this situation can be resolved amicably, and I look forward to the opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings.

No I just uploaded that to understand you what was the situation that happened which made my visa get revoked. As I have all legitimate documents required why can't I be provided another opportunity. Have I convicted that big crime? Like you are all replying that there is no option at all. If such situations happen one day no international will suggest to study abroad. And I don't know why CBP officers act brutal.

Seems op was deported.

Op, what questions were asked? 

I think you are misunderstanding something. You might have money to finance your schooling but the thing is the officer did not believe you'll return to India once your studies are over because you weren't able to convince them during questioning.

As others have said, your only options are to try for a new F1 visa, or look for study opportunities elsewhere.  To my knowledge there is no appeal when CBP finds a person trying to enter on a non-immigrant visa inadmissible.  It is not clear if you were deported or allowed to withdraw your entry request.  If deported a bar may be in place which may further limit your options in the near term.

But in newspapers they have mentioned 5 year ban what to about it? Won't get permission for readmissiblity

What papers mentioned a 5 year ban?  It sounds like an expedited removal.  If that is the case, I would seek other opportunities outside the US.

As I have all legitimate documents

Usually you show those documents at the Embassy interview, not at CBP. I have had an F1 and a J1 visa and not once was I ever asked to show any documents to CBP. All the documents were shown at the interviews in the Embassy.

act brutal.

Did they beat you?

 

It looks like you used an agency to fill out your DS-160. Why did you need an agency? Did you check your application before signing it?

Also, you said you had savings for one year... How long are your studies? How are you planning to support yourself after that first year?

Your story with the CBP had holes

U claim to have borrowed money for tuition and rent 

BUT  grandfather was going to pay 

 

and was to rent from someone u had never met,  instead of living on campus

 

BTW 40% of the tuition was due September 1st unless u do the MAV payment plan to pay in installments but that requires $1000 paid August 1st

and in this plan , tuition and room and board are covered so  if u were paying on  MAV plan,  no need to rent from a stranger

 

Receipts were needed for holding your place at the university

copy of  I 20 with valid travel signature 

SEVIS fee receipt (I-901):

and since u already had and  used F1 visa ,  u needed to show passport had multiple entry stamp

and u should have had copy of Financial Responsibility Statement

 

University of Texas (all locations)  make it easy to pay online

Once you have signed your Financial Responsibility Statement, and your registration is complete, you will see a sentence on My Tuition Bill in green which states “Attendance Confirmed”. If you do not see this, you still have action to take.

 

CBP had all the information about the university as its all online and one of the officers would have checked it all out

And they would have checked with the university to see if u were enrolled
