You need to become mindful and catch those negative thoughts when they arise
because if you don't catch them, they will consume you.
If the consul doesn't really ask your supporting documents,
how can you prove that you have strong ties to your home country?
I believe that I can do anything or learn anything as long as I put my heart and
my mind to it. Now, what do you believe in?

Hola Amigas! Welcome back to my channel,
the number one place where J1 visa and American culture. If you're new here,
please don't forget to subscribe to our channel and click the notification bell
so you'll always be notified whenever we upload new jam packed videos and
without further ado, let's now jump into the video.
So if you guys have watched my last video about tips on how to pass your visa
interview,
I will link it down below and also put it here in the card so you can watch it.
Or if you have watched it already,
it will be very different from that video to this video because that's video is
most likely. Like I would say it's not very, really specific,
and this video I think is more powerful that it doesn't just, you know,
will help you to pass your visa interview but also will change your life. Wow,
that's a powerful word. But seriously,
if you will take all of the tips that I will give you in this video.
This is will for sure change your life and will change your mindset or how you
look at life.
So this video might be kind of long than the usual video that I always,
you know, do.
But I promise you that I will deliver 100% result after you watch the whole
video without skipping and watching it from start to end.
So there are two parts in this video.
The first part is that all about your mindset and how you look at your life.
And the second part will be on how you really can improve your answer,
how you can really improve your application and the way you know you answer your
consul. So you might be wondering,
why am I giving you two parts or two different categories for the tips?
It is because all throughout my experience of helping other J1 students to come
here in America, there will be two results. One is,
who passed the J1 visa interview and the second is who failed the visa
interview. And the only thing that I saw,
you know like I teach them the same thing I teach as I teach you guys the same
thing. But the only difference between them is their mindset.
Their mindset is the one that stops them from you know,
having the visa interview,
having the J1 visa and coming here in the United States.
So now I will teach you in both of them to make sure that you have 100% success
in your J1 visa interview. So I know that you guys are now really,
really interested to have hop into the video. But before we dive in,
we have an important shout out to do.
Now you might be wondering how you can be featured in the next video. Well,
all you have to do is like this video and comment down below,
or take a screenshot of this video and post it in your Instagram story but don't
forget to tag me at @rioworldwide.co so I can see your posts.
And without further ado, let's now jump into the video
[inaudible]
Number one, you have to believe,
believe that you will pass the interview because if you don't believe in
yourself, who else will?
If you think that you're not going to pass the visa interview,
then you're really not going to pass the interview.
You are what you believed yourself to be.
Have you wake up one morning and then you're not feeling good.
And then after a few hours you said to yourself, damn,
I feel like I'm getting sick today. And then that thought will like, you know,
feed your mind over and over again. I'm going to get sick.
I'm going to get to sick. I'm going to get sick over and over again.
And then it stays in your mind and at the end of the day you really get sick.
But if you counter that thought that "damn, I feel like I'm getting sick" Okay,
I don't want to think about it. I'm going to do this,
I'm going to go to the gym, then I do this, you know,
just to make you feel stronger and then at the end of the day you don't really
get sick because you are what you believe in yourself to be.
If you believe that you will really pass the visa interview,
then you really will pass the visa interview.
Remember this just all in your mind or like for another example,
my YouTube channel before I was so scared to start because I mean it's 2019 you
know like how can a YouTuber or like a small YouTuber will stand out from the
rest or how can I gain 1000 subscribers when I don't really have a big following
or how can I monetize my YouTube channel, you know,
and not to waste all of my efforts. Yes, of course, the time.
I have a lot of reasons why I will not succeed in my mind,
but I just believe I've just believed that I can do it. If others can do it,
I can do it too.
And then look at us now we have more than 1000 subscribers here in our family
and also I have monetized my YouTube channel in less than a year,
it's just like manifestation and believing in yourself that you can do anything
and everything that you put your mind in your heart into it.
Awareness is the key to changing those negative thought patterns.
You need to become mindful and catch those negative thoughts when they arise
because if you don't catch them, they will consume you.
Second, ask yourself, do you want it or they need it?
Do you just want to do the J1 program because so you can have you know,
experience in the United States or do you need it so it can help you in your
future career? Remember want and a need is all different.
You put different effort, like very different effort.
When you want something or when you need something. Why do you want it?
Why do you need it?
Tip number three, know your reason. What is your reason?
Why do you need to pass the visa interview?
Remember that those who pass the visa interview have a powerful reason why they
must pass the interview and those that fail don't.
They don't have a powerful reason and when you don't have a powerful reason why
you must do something you aren't likely going to follow through are you?
Because for them, there are no real consequence to failure.
It's okay for them to go back to being average, but you're not.
So what is your reason? Why is this a must?
What are the consequences if you do not follow through this?
What is your life going to look like? If you fail this interview,
what will it look like if you succeed? Now hold that vision in your mind.
You after you have achieved this goal or after you pass your visa interview,
what will it change your life? How it will improve your character,
your finances, your relationship, your life?
Your why must be something that makes you move.
It is the most powerful reason in your life. Why must you succeed?
Why must you change? Why must you take action right now? Is it for your family?
Is it for their future or is it to inspire someone you love so they will be
lifted by your example? What is your why?
If you make excuses or procrastinate against doing something,
it can only mean that your reason for doing it is not powerful enough or not
meaningful enough. If it was alive in that situation,
you wouldn't procrastinate, right?
You just do whatever it takes to make it happen.
So find the real reason why you want this internship so bad.
Why do you want this goal? Why do you want to pass your visa interview?
Why must you have it if you find it,
write it down and read it to yourself every day. This is your fuel,
the fuel that will drive your success train right through your dream life.
[inaudible]
So next is they said if you want to be a billionaire,
hang out with the billionaires. If you want to be like Oprah, think like Oprah.
What will Oprah do in this kind of situation?
So I want to share something to you guys that I saw in one of the comments
section. So there's people that are talking about, Hey, you know,
join the Facebook group of people who got denied. Well, first of all,
I don't know why do they have a Facebook group of the people who got denied in
the J1 visa interview but for me, I don't think it's necessary.
I respect their decision, but for me, in my own opinion,
I don't think it's necessary. Why? Because for me,
instead of focusing why they have the knife,
I want the focus on how these people succeed or how these people,
you know, pass their visa interview. I don't focus on the negative side.
I focus on the positive side. How can I move forward?
How can I get to that level?
Or how can I really pass the visa interview just like others instead of
networking to those people who have denied,
I will network to those people who have pass the visa interview instead of
talking to the people who get denied and how they got denied,
I will talk to the people who have passed their interview and you know,
how did they answer the interview? How did they get to pass,
how did they answer that you know, they really convinced the consul.
Just the pro tip guys. If you think that your friend is BSing you,
then I would not talk to them.
All right, so moving forward, I also suggest for you to choose the right agency,
why? Because if you have the right agency, they can guide you properly,
all through out your process detail by detail.
If your agency knows what they are doing,
they know how to fix the problem easier.
They know how to help you easier or they know or they have already a forum or
format, sorry, on how you can get there.
So every time I interviewed an aspiring J one who wants to join with our agency,
I always asked them, what do you look for an agency?
And most of them will answer, uh, I don't know. Someone who will just, you know,
help me to get the J1 Visa. Well, if you are watching this, a lot of agency,
or there's a bunch of agency that can help you, you know, to have your J1 visa,
but not everyone can help you successfully.
So you really have to choose your agency that really fit to your needs.
So I might recommend an agency that is for me the best.
But for you it might not be the best. Do they have a good reputation?
Do they have a good communication skills? Are they friendly?
Do they go above and beyond with their services? Can you afford their services?
Is their office location is okay for you?
Is it okay to do it online or do you want it to do personaly?
And the most important thing that you need to look for an agency is how do they
handle complicated situations,
how they can specifically help you to have a successful visa interview and have
a successful J1 program here in the United States. You need to look for that.
You can't just, you know, give your money. Okay, take my money, you know,
and fly me to the U.S. No!
You need to really find the right agency that is right for your needs.
[inaudible]
Next is be specific.
I told you guys this hundred times that always be specific with your answers.
So when the consul ask you what are your plans after your training in the United
States? You need to answer it with an action plan.
So let me just reiterate what does a plan means?
Plan is a detailed proposal for doing something or achieving something.
So when you answer the consul, you want to give them an action plan. Like what,
how and why.
So what are your future plans after your training in the United States?
You can say that you want to go back to school.
Why do you need to go back to school?
Why do you need a one year training in the United States to go back to school?
Or why do you need to have a one year training in the United States to open a
restaurant? Why do you need it? And next is how.
How are you going to start a restaurant or how are you going to apply for that
supervisory position in Okada? You know what I mean?
So every time that you formulate an answer to the consul question,
you need to be very specific.
So being specific is like answering the question What, Why, and How?
Next tip is never lie to the consul specially if you have relatives in the
United States,
it doesn't matter if you don't have this same last name or whatever it is.
They know how to connect your family. Remember this guys,
that most of the questions that the consul asks you,
they already have an answer for it.
They just wanted to make sure if you're saying the same answer or if you are
lying or not.
So we know that it's a fact that if you have relatives in the United States,
there will be lesser percentage for you to pass the visa interview.
But it doesn't mean that you will not pass the visa interview.
Let's take an example, just like me,
I have a lot of relatives here in the United States,
but I still pass the visa interview and there are more students that have
relatives here that have pass the visa interview, you will not pass if you lie.
But if you keep being honest and you know, just be clear with your purpose,
then you will pass the visa interview.
So another tip guys is that if you have relatives here in the United States,
kindly bring a future job offer from your home country so they know that you are
really coming back, also bring extra more strong ties to your home country.
And if you are still unsure of what are the strong ties in your home country
that you can bring, I have a video that I made,
I will link it here in the card so you guys can check it out.
So in that video I gave several examples of your strong ties to your home
country.
[inaudible]
Next tip is that never show that you are nervous.
I know it's easier said than done, but trust me guys,
this is the key to your success. So take me as an example.
I am also nervous every time that I go in front of the camera talking to you
guys, you know,
because first it's kind of weird just by like talking to the camera if you are
not really used to it.
But second is that I am always nervous too because you know,
I am making a video that can change someone's life or it can help you know
someone's a successful or a result in their visa interviewed.
Every time that I go in front of the camera,
I always make sure that I'm giving you guys valuable information and I am not
wasting your time. Also,
if you are nervous because you don't speak good English, that's totally fine.
Practice makes perfect. I startled too a lot, you know,
every time I speak English, but remember it's not our native language.
So for me, every time that I have into the interview,
I also kind of think it's like a role play, you know? So I made a script.
So what is the script?
That's the summary of my training plan and all of the questions that the consul
can ask me and then I will try to answer it.
Like I always told you guys and then I will practice it and memorize it and
understand it. So when the time comes,
like you know I am in front of the consul,
I am just like role playing and it's just like comes up naturally.
So how long do you need to practice? Well, it's up to you guys.
You know yourself better than me. Like for me,
I would say I will practice a week before my interview.
I will practice once a day all throughout those seven days.
And I think I can be good after that.
But I know we all have different schedules and we all have different journey in
life. So it's really up to you. If you think that you need two weeks,
then take two weeks to practice. It doesn't matter.
As long as every practice you get better and better and then during the visa
interview it will just comes up naturally.
And if you don't see the results during your first visa interview, that's okay.
You know, don't be afraid to fail because remember, if you fail,
it means that you will learn something then use the learning from your first
visa interview and take it with you during your second interview.
So during your second visa interview, you are now more confident.
You know where you went wrong and you know wha you can improved and never talk
down to yourself. Remember, you are what you believe in yourself.
So make believe yourself that I'm really going to be successful and I'm really
going to nail this visa interview
and just like what I've said earlier, never talk down about yourself.
Never think that you are notsmart enough or you are not confident enough to nail
this interview. The difference between you and me is not our knowledge,
it's just our mindset. It's just how we think about life. Don't get me wrong,
I was there before too. I always talk down about,
or I always talked bad about myself that I'm not smart enough,
I don't want to compete with someone you know or all I don't want to be in front
of the camera,
I am not that beautiful or I don't speak that good English or I'm not
knowledgeable enough. You know, I always say that to myself,
but if I believe in that or if I let that negative thoughts consum me,
then I'm not going to be making this video.
I'm not going to be here in front of you teaching you all of this tips to pass
your visa interview, but because I uplift myself,
but because I know and believe that in myself that I can make an impact for you.
And also I have this, you know,
really fire in my heart that I can do or I can learn anything that I want and
that's how it got me here. I don't know all of these tips before,
but I am so eager to learn.
That's why I have this all information that I can share it with you guys.
I believe that I can do anything or learn anything as long as I put my heart and
my mind to it. Now, what do you believe in?
Okay,
next is be careful when you enter your information in your DS-160 especially
when you input dates on your data of your graduation or your birthday and stuff
like that because there are a lot of J1 who got denied because they input
incorrect information or incorrect dates. So in that situation,
you know you can save another hundred $160 for another visa appointment just
double checking your information in your DS-160 and dates are not only the ones
that you need to be careful of.
You also need to be careful when you are answering explanation questions or like
questions that needs your explanations.
Your answers should be aligned in your training plan,
on your skills that you will learn in the United States or your passport
experiences. And also, for example, you are unemployed. Why are you unemployed?
Are you doing something for your future career that will connect the two of them
during your J1 visa interview a lot of students are, you know,
keep noticing and noticing it that they don't really ask for your bank statement
or your future job employment. So before we end this video,
I have a question for you.
If the consul doesn't really ask for your supporting documents,
how can you prove that you have strong ties to your home country?
