F1 VISA rejected. Help Urgent.

[rdns]

Hello guys,

I have been reading the grade cafe since long time . It's been so much of help to me at so many difficulties from GRE,TOEFL test through University applications, waiting and tracking for decisions...

I would like you all to put your suggestions about "what should I do now". my F1 VISA got rejected at Mumbai consulate. It was my 1st attempt.

Here is the VI experience....

Me: Good Morning Sir.

VO: Good Morning. Which University you are applying to?

Me: University of Maryland College Park.

VO: Which other Universities did you apply to?

Me: NCSU, USC, UTD, UMD (all full forms)

VO: How many admits?

Me: Only University of Maryland College Park.

VO: What is your undergrad aggregate percentage?

Me: 69%

VO: What is your GRE score?

Me: 1180.

VO: Who is funding you?

Me: My father is funding.

VO: What does he do?

Me: He provides financial and insurance consultation and he also retired…

VO: (Interrupts me) what is his income?

Me: 2 Lacks.

VO: What 2 Lack?

Me: 2 Lacks Indian Rupees.

VO: According to immigration rules you are disqualified for VISA...blah blah...

Me: Thank you sir.

I personally think that he ruled me out because of less annual income. (Actually he didn't gave chance to describe his savings which 3 to 4 times the 1st year total expense and immovable asset of 20 times the 1st year expense , he didn't listened to me that he is Retired Govt. servant and even after retirement he drives his own consultancy)

Request you to correct me where i missed during my interview.

It lasted for merely 35 to 40 seconds only...

Now I am confused, should I apply again for VISA for University of Maryland College Park and take a chance or should not?

Will my second rejection make a bad impression for future VISA applications(any type)?

I believe in practical solutions of the problem ....no doubt that Hope, Luck also takes part , but I wanna be sure for sure.

Help me. Its Urgent.

Thanking you for your patients to read my long thread.

In my opinion the only thing which really matters to the immigration officers is immigration. I guess it is more likely that they see not enough binding to your country. One case could be that you move to the States, marry, and then your parents can move as well (which I saw actually quite often during my times in the US). I know this is probably not the case in your situation but they deal with overall statistics. I would go to an specialized lawyer and seek advice they know probably better what your chances are for reapplying. As far as I know you will have to go to the same embassy so as long as your circumstances don't change you won't get a visa. Another idea is to write your school and ask for help.
