Maybe I'll go to Canada instead, it sounds much more comfortable (;

Unfortunately, I think that I will also have to decline their offer because of this issue. It's really annoying that they decided to accept me but would not offer the visa.

Does is make sense to receive a generic rejection after interview?

Thanks everyone! -
I was accepted to a fully funded PhD program in CMU. The university claims that they don't issue J-1 visas for students at all, even if they are funded. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Is there any other way that a spouse can get a working permit?

I was invited to interview weekend at my top choice university. Although I'm an international, I took a very expensive flight (on my own expense) to get there. The interviews went really well, and the POI said that I'm a very good fit to his lab, during and after the interviews. Yet, I got the generic rejection letter from the automatic system. I'm actually insulted, I expected that after coming to the interviews I would at least get the rejection from a faculty member, and not just a mass email. Is it always like that? Don't you get something more personal after coming to an interview weekend?
