  1. Thank you for your comment! Did the visa officer ask you to explain the H1b denial when you were interviewed? I just don't know how to explain my experience if they were to ask so.
  2. Yep, I will be applying in my home country. The visa officer who rejected me indicated that I had stayed in that third country "too short." I guess that's the main reason why I got refusals twice.
  3. Hey guys, it's great to find here. I'm an international student and received a Ph.D. offer from a top-tier U.S. university (full-funded). Right now, I'm very worried about whether my past B1/B2 refusals will hurt the application of my F1 visa. I tried to apply the B1/B2 visa in a third country when I was an exchange student in 2017. I was rejected twice, however. The visa officer suggested me that I should have applied the visa in my home country. I finally got a B1/B2 visa from the embassy in my home country in mid-2017, and I traveled to the U.S. several times, none of which exceeded a week. I am wondering, however, that the visa officer may care much about my past B1/B2 refusal records when I am about to be interviewed for my F1 visa. Has anyone have similar experiences? I quite appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

  5. I received a personalized email from a professor at one of my admitted universities two days ago. He said he is interested in my research questions and wanted to discuss more. I am wondering how you guys would respond to such emails. Thank you!
  6. Thank you so much for your detailed suggestions! Would it bother if I sent the email on weekends? Or I just worry that too much.
  7. Hey guys, I have a very weird question. Before the application deadline, I have already contacted some POIs at different universities and got some of their responses (ofc, not all of them replied). However, I could not reach all of them that I listed in the SOP. I know they are now reviewing our applications, just wondering would it hurt if I contacted the POI that I have not successfully reached? Is it a bad idea tho?
