This video is several months in the making and this is the longest time that I
ever worked on a certain topic. It took several days in constructing this video,
figuring out how to clearly delivered this message with intention and making it
easier for you to understand.

Speaking of jam packed videos. In today's video, I
gathered so much information that I actually lost myself in the process.
I questioned myself and wondering if I am doing the right thing because even
though I have shared all of my experiences and all of the knowledge that I have
learned along the way, I still ended up with two results.
First successful visa interview or second denied visa interview.
In the last eight months, I gathered all of your feedback,
studied the way you react,
listened to how you talk and working on understanding your pain points.
Today has finally come and I cannot wait to share this information to you guys.
In today's video,
we're going to be talking about your three biggest false assumption in the J1
visa interview.
I put my heart and soul in this video and I promise you that if you watch this
video from beginning until the end without skipping,
you will have a clear vision of how you can ACE your J1 visa interview,
but before we dive into the video, we have a special shout out to do
[inaudible].
Now you might be wondering how can I be featured in the next video? Well,
all you have to do is leave a comment down below in this video.
Don't forget to give it thumbs up or take a screenshot of this video and share
it in your Instagram story,
but don't forget to tag me @rioworldwide.co so I can see your posts and without
further ado. Let's now jump into the video. Number 1 you
will fail the visa interview because your friends did. Guys.
I know that you are scared to hop into the interview or get your visa denied,
but please take note of this and very, or listen very carefully.
The process for the J1 visa is a case by case basis. What happens,
the other applicants has nothing to do with you.
Each of you will have a unique questions, different answers.
The way you deliver your message or your family background or your work
background are all different. So with this being said,
it is completely clear that you will have different results from them.
When your friends failed in the interview,
doesn't mean that you will fail the interview or when you see a post in the
comment section box below that someone pass the J1 visa interview so easy.
It doesn't mean that you will pass too or you will have it easy.
Each J1 visa interview are all different and case to case basis.
You should not care about what happened to Susie, Linda, or John. Who cares?
This is your situation.
The most important thing that you should be focusing is yourself.
Focus on yourself.
Don't let others failure define who you are or get in the way in your future
success. Instead of thinking, what did they do wrong to fail?
Maybe you should ask yourself, what can I do right to pass?
Here's the examples of a negative and the positive mind, negative mind.
What should I do if I fail on the interview? Positive mind.
What can I do to pass the interview? Negative mind. I'm nervous,
I might fail in the interview. Positive mind.
I'm nervous, but I am well-prepared and believe in myself.
Negative mind.
I want to ask someone who failed the interviews to get insight which officers to
avoid. Positive mind
I want to ask someone who passed the interview and know how exactly they did it.
Negative mind. There's so much reading study and work to do.
I give up. I'm going to look for something easy. Positive mind.
There's so much room for me to learn and I want to use this opportunity as a
stepping stone towards to my dreams.
Does it sound ugly when you have a negative mind is that the kind of person that
you want to become there is always an option in life,
but it is all up to you if you want to live a negative or a positive life,
do you want to live with a growth mindset or a fixed mindset remember that a
negative mind will never give you a positive life. By the way, guys,
if this video is helpful,
please don't forget to give it a thumbs up and also share on your timeline so we
can help more people in understanding the J1 program.
Number two J1 visa is impossible to get well if it is impossible to get why all
of these people have passed their visa interview.
I myself have passed the visa interview twice. How?
So it means that it is not impossible and the word itself impossible says I'm
possible. Okay now, let me give you two example to make it clear with you.
One student said, my first visa attempt was denied.
She only asked me standard questions and didn't ask for any of my documents.
The second student said,
the consul only asked me three personal questions and one question about my
future plans, but I was still denied.
If you hear this comment or saw this post in your timeline you will immedietly
think, OMG! J1 visa is
Impossible to get and you will message me and saying that you are scared.
to do the J1 visa interview or rant about what you heard or saw,
I'm sorry to say but starting today,
I'm not going to reply on that kind of message anymore. Why?
Because I am not here to dive in why your friends failed.
I am here to dive in and figured out what we can do to make you succeed.
Now let me give you a clear picture and examples of why people fail.
Number one, there is no such thing as standard questions.
Each question is personalized based from your number one ties to your home
country. Number two, source of income like you,
yourself and your family. Number three,
based on the information that you put in your DS-160 and last is the way you
answer the consul. Number two,
I want to read or share what other students referred as standard questions.
By the way, this is a continuation of the second example that I gave earlier.
The first question that is being asked to the student is, what is your name?
Second question is your age is not for fresh graduate. What happened?
She said, it is because this is my second course.
The question number three is why do you want to go to the USA?
The student said,
because I am looking forward to further develop my technical skills and ability.
Fourth question. When did you graduate? The student said May,
2019 now your first reaction might be, well,
I think she did good on answering this basic questions.
I don't see why the consul failed her by the way she asks the consul what
happened after the interview and the consul said that she mentioned something
that is not in her training plan. As we continue to talk, the students said,
I don't know where I went wrong.
I don't understand the reasoning that the consul gave me,
but I think that I got denied because of president Trump's limitation.
In the immigration.
After hearing all of her experience during the J1 visa interview,
my first reaction was "Is technical skills included in your training plan?"
Well, she didn't really answer me yes or no. She just sent me her training plan.
So based from our conversation, her actions and reading her training plan.
This is what I notice.
The first thing that I notice is that she didn't understand her training plan
very well because when they ask her,
the question is technical skills is in your training plan,
she just sent me her training plan. If you truly understand your training plan,
you could have immediately answered me yes or no.
Second that I noticed is that I wish she took the initiative to explain it.
Instead she gave me her training plan so I can read it and do the work for her
though. If you are asking,
asking someone that can be answered by yes or no an she sent you, you know,
like a whole document.
It just gives you a signal that why would she, you know,
sent me this like disclaimer, she's not paying me to help her.
You know and do all the work for this,
but I just realized why would she send me her, you know,
training plan and all I need is just yes or no if it's her, you know,
if it's in her training plan.
And number three that I notice is that I have told you so many times that to be
specific with your answer and telling the consul that I am looking forward to
further develop my technical skills is not specific at all.
What kind of technical skills do you want to learn? Be specific.
So after reading her training plan,
the fourth one that I noticed is that technical skills is not part of her
training at all. And this is the reason why the consul reject her because
she's obviously guessing or giving incorrect information.
Remember earlier that I shared with you guys that she asked the consul why she
got denied and the consul said that she said something that is not part of her
training plan and then boom, that is her reason why she got denied.
Because she is guessing.
She doesn't really understand and know very well her training plan.
And by the way, guys, I look up the internet.
What are the different kinds of technical skills and only to find out that all
the different types of technical skills are not completely related to food and
beverage which she uh, you know, that is the department where she will work for.
So it says here that technical skills are the abilities and knowledge needed to
perform specific task. They are practical and defend,
relate to mechanical information, technology,
mathematical or scientific tasks.
Some examples include knowledge of programming, languages,
mechanical equipment or tools. My dear students.
I truly care about you and all I want is for you to succeed.
It's okay to ask someone for opinion advice or their J1 visa interview
experience, but please be smart.
Don't believe immediately on everything that they said or everything that you
see on the internet. Try to question or analyze things.
When someone said they didn't pass the J1 visa interview,
even though the questions were just standard questions. Think about this.
What are the standard questions that they are referring for?
How did they answer it?
Did they answer it very specific or maybe what are they backgrounds?
Maybe their family has a bad record in the U S embassy or maybe they did the
work and travel before and overstayed in the United States.
So you really will never know the full details. But please,
when you ask someone for advice,
please be smart and really think about and analyze and just don't believe
everything immediately. Don't live your life depending on someone's opinion.
Seek advice to the experts.
There's already a lot of things that is going on in our lives and also to the
world and it's easy to lose focus.
Okay, third assumption is, actually, this is funny,
but picking the consul based on their appearance. Oh my God,
I've been seeing comments about the consul.
And I also saw some people that are giving harsh comments about the consul,
judging them based on their appearance or I also see some people that judge the
consul based on someone's feedback. For example,
someone commented, uh, you know, that is telling someone that, Oh, my friend,
uh, you know,
telling me that don't line up to a male officer that is wearing eyeglasses,
because he denies everyone.
My biggest question is how can someone judge the consul based on their
appearance and someone's opinions when you are not even sure,
if their opinion or their, you know, feedback is reliable or not.
Ask yourself,
how did they come up with the conclusion that this male officer that has
eyeglasses are mean or this female officer will have white complexion in window
number 21 doesn't approve everyone who line up with her.
Do they have evidence? None.
Did they stay all day to observe in every windows? No.
Did you know that the average time of the applicant stayed inside the us embassy
is 40 minutes and no longer than 90 minutes and you can only observe someone's
interview during the last step of your process,
which when you line up to the last step you can only be there for at least 10
minutes. We're just not enough time to judge someone or give your opinion.
So now tell me,
will you listen to someone's opinion based on their observation for 10 minutes,
will you believe someone who blamed their mistakes to the consul when in
reality, most of the students that have been denied are just in denial.
No one wants to admit that they half ass their application
or they didn't do their best or give their 100% during their interview.
Have you heard of someone that they feel the interview because they said they
didn't study? No. Everyone is in denial,
so what they do is look for someone to blame, so the center of attention,
it's not to them. Everyone. Please take note of this.
It doesn't depend on which officer will interview you or what window you should
line up to.
All officers are capable of denying or approving your application.
The result of your US visa interview depends on the information that you input
in your DS-160 and how you answer the question or how you deliver your message
to the consul.
This last assumption is funny and to be honest it doesn't make sense that's why
I don't want to talk about it originally,
but I saw more and more students are falling into this trap and I'm like,
I need to do something.
This needs to stop because this is a false assumption to your J1 visa interview.
This will not lead you to success.
I told myself that I am not serving you well if I don't break this assumption.
So here I am making this video to make it clear with you guys that it doesn't
matter who you line up to or how the officer looks like or what window you
should line up to every one of them are capable of denying or approving your
application. By the way, guys,
