 Facing FN visa rejection, well this is a story that you need to hear. Pratima overcame four visa rejections to finally get her visa approved. Keep on watching. Hi guys, my name is Shachi and I am a travel and visa coach. On this channel you will find lots of useful videos on the FN visa process. There is an entire playlist for this. So make sure to check it out. One of the questions that I get asked really frequently is, does previous FN visa rejections impact my visa chances? And the answer is yes it can and also no it cannot. So see here's the thing, it all depends on how your profile has changed, what has improved since the last rejection. In fact this is one of the questions which is also asked by visa officers. You know, you can be asked what has changed in your profile since the last rejection. So what you really need to do is to identify the mistakes, the things which went wrong, correct it and then move ahead confidently. And this is exactly what Pratima did. So even after facing rejection four times, right, she did not give up. She prepared well, she worked hard and finally she has a visa and now she is flying to the US. Before we dive into Pratima's experience, here's a snapshot of her profile. Education, BE in ENC, that's electronics and communication, followed by an MBA in HR. Work experience, three years working in the HR department of her IT company. Admit, Nova Southeastern University for Masters in Computer Science and Funding through loan and family savings. So she gave her interview last week at the Delhi Embassy and this is her experience. Hi. Hello. Congratulations. Thank you. I want to share the story of yours because it is so amazing. I would love to share my experience with you. So like, I have completed my engineering. Engineering was in electronics and telecommunication. MBA is in HR. Then you worked for three years. HR but IT domain. And then I wanted to pursue three different things but I wanted to pursue that and that was very much challenging for me. And then I got you, I met you and I don't know that what happened that day. I just saw your videos and then I thought like I should take some consultation with you. When I'll discuss with you, you can let me know that what exactly the process I have to follow. Then I contacted you and it was like first meeting was like completely, I don't know that what I was talking when I heard all recordings. I was irritating my voice. I was like getting what I am saying to her. It is completely out of track. And the second time when I took the consultation that was on the track. Yeah. And third time it was like you got happy. And I thought like, you are happy then my visa interview also happened. So this was all about my journey that I... Tell us about the rejects part. How many tell us did you apply and how you didn't give up? So I went for the first time. I don't know that what was the officer mood and all. He asked me like 12 questions. This was on the like 18th of February. Yeah. This year only. And it was like 12 questions. And that was like I was playing phone. And I was like asking, asking, asking, asking and then she said like you are rejected. Then I tried for second time. I said like okay I'll try for second time. Then I went again to the Mumbai consulate and that was I guess a Nigerian lady. She just asked me about my DS1 16. I was completely blank. I don't know that what to say, what not to say. And then I just like shut her mouth and I was just looking her. And they should see after five minutes she said like no you are rejected. Then third time I was like confident but I was not an actual track when I saw my fourth visa interview. I was really on a track. I know that what I wanted to pursue. But in third interview I got a mistake like he asked me only three questions. That was about my annual income which I have but I couldn't express him. And then he was asked me about the difference between the country, science and IT which I explained. But he was not getting what I mean to say because I was technically explaining everything. He just saw me and I was like completely blank and then said like okay go you are rejected. Only three questions. So 12, then 8 and then 3 and yesterday only four questions. So it was in Delhi. So early morning 8 of 30 was my appointment. With me there was 150 people and my counter number was 19. I was literally waiting for half an hour but it's a different counter and actually the visa officer was taking the interview. And I was completely taking my breath in and out. And then I was doing a meditation here. I don't know why. I was feeling very much nervous and then she like lady said like you have to go to the counter number 19. I went there. There was two people in front of me and they were like a junior than me I guess. So they got selected and I was thinking this is my turn. I don't know what is going to happen and I had a history of three back to back rejection. And then like I thought I am also going to reject. But then she asked me a first question that I don't know. I have not heard about this university. It was the Nova South Street University. It was in Florida. So she said like I have not heard about this university. So can you just explain how you have searched. So I explained her very properly that I have online researched my area of interest was this one. So I wanted to go to this college. This college is offering this kind of subjects. Then when I told her a subject and she said can you just tell me the two subject. I told her eight subjects. Then she got impressed. So like before I have contacted you. I have did a some little bit research that was like this 5%. But when I met you and when you just explain everything then I have thoroughly go to the university profile and the courses and the electives. I have studied about the little bit about the electives and then I have explained her everything. As you have like completing like you have told me like she's read and short should be there. Okay great because interviews are becoming so short right. So yes constantly people keep asking me that you know how what should I do. So the point is it's you have to give the right information. But you know in that really concise structure. And then she asked me that like who is going to sponsor you. I explained her about my father's like probation. Then she asked me like what is your funding. She was actually looking for the like the funding or like what does the bank balance I have. She was actually looking. She was not looking for the fixer set. But I have properly explained the way we have. So you first mentioned the loan. Then saving and then my parents got annual income. Then she got impressed for that. And then she said like like she throw my password other side and I was like what she's doing. And I was like she's going to give me the tool for me. And then she said like take your like service period I 20 go enjoy your studies. And I was like completely badly looking to her. She said oh go run enjoy your studies and then I was like really crying. And I said like thank you so much. And from that moment I ran. Then till the host like till my hotel I was running and running. And then I have informed my father. And he was like standing in a standing position when I call with your column. And he was completely set up. And he said oh you got it. This is a story which is like so hard one. Like I can't express like you know how nice it feels to hear your story. But whatever it is anything it is only and only because of you. You have made me have very much confident. I was too much nervous. I was out of my track. I was not clear about my answers. I have no formatting. I got when I have like successful about my food design to be it got success. Then I thought like yes I was on a track. I know everything what I wanted to do what was my aim everything but that all All of because of you. All really goes to you only. I think it's definitely the direction helps. But end of the day it's your effort. If you don't use the inputs then you know it's not going to be 20% result. So because we walk through multiple sessions right. So I have seen session by session how yes that progress was happening. That thinking was getting. I think like taking a multiple sessions with you that helped me a lot. Maybe I would take a one session or two session. That would not help me because practice is more important. Even if you're walking then practice is more important. I think you're referring to the mock right. We did like two mock. So that was too much helpful. And I was just remembering remembering your last word. Pratima please come. Please come. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. Then I was like sitting in front of the office and I was just like Pratima please come. Please come. Don't be nervous. And that made me a confidence. Amazing. And like I got my visa. Amazing. So I am so happy that we met right. That I could be part of your journey all the best to you. Thank you for an amazing person. I'm sure you do really well. Keep working hard. And one thing which I've noticed for years through all the sessions. You always have that smile right. Even though you were nervous you had the smile even if you were crying. You had the smile. Maintain that. That's amazing about you. Your explanation. Your understanding. And you are the way you are counseling to the people. That was too much helpful. Too much spoken. Like I love the people. I love that we have this much of a graph. But you are explaining in a short and sweet manner. I love the way that you are explaining every time. Thank you so much for this visa. And it's yours. It's not mine. It's yours. And all the best for your journey as well. Bye bye. Take care. Bye.
