Hola Amigas. Welcome back to my channel,
the number one place for J1 visa and American culture in your 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 in today's video we're going to be talking about all the things that you need
to know and you need to do to pass this second visa interview.
Because first of all, it's not cheap. It is expensive.
It's $160 Hey, you don't want to waste that, right?
So that's why we need to make everything right that we did wrong for the first
time. If you haven't watched my last video,
I highly recommend for you to watch it first because in my last video,
which I will link here in the card,
is I talk about all the reasons why your visa can get denied.
So in this video we're going to be talking about all the things,
how you can make it correct, you know?
So make sure to stick around to get all of the full scope. By the way, guys,
if you want subtitles for this video,
you can just click the settings or the settings in your phone so you can turn on
the subtitle
[inaudible].
So there's a lots of ways to know the reasons for your visa denial.
So number one is for sure the consul will tell you what is the reason for your
visa denial when they give you the blue paper.
But if they didn't tell you the reason,
you can ask for the reason for your visa denial.
Second is if they didn't tell anything and they just give you the blue paper,
then read the blue paper. What was the reason for your visa denial?
Number three is check your DS-160 or your online application that you know you
filled up before your visa interview because maybe you have said different or
you know incorrect answer from the information that you put inside the online
application or all the things, all the information that you put in your DS-160.
So always make sure that what you said did tto he consul will match everything
in your online application. Number four is check your training plan.
So in this one it can be easier because most of the time if the problem is your
training plan, the consul will tell you that, Hey,
your training plan is not fit for what you need or what you need to know in the
United States. So they will ask you to revise it.
Like what I've said from my last video, maybe it's too general.
That's why they need to for revision.
And if you still don't know your reason for your visa denial or you are confuse
for your visa denial.
So try to remember what was the last question that the consul asks you before he
give the blue paper because that can give you an idea of what,
what went wrong or what is the thing that you know made the consul think that
you are not worthy of the J1 visa
[inaudible].
So after you figured out the reason for your visa denial,
we can now proceed to second step,
which is write down all the possible reasons why you have denied or why your
visa gets denied.
Did the consul ask you to revise your training plan or did he tell you that you
don't have enough documents or proof for your ties in your home country?
Or did he tell you that you don't have enough information or don't know enough
information of your training plan? So see,
there's a lot of reasons for your visa denial and how you correct it or how you
deal with it is also depends on the reason for your visa denials.
a lot of J1 interns are messaging me that you know,
to give them tips for their second visa ,
interview because they are scared, you know,
now to hop in to their visa interview.
But I think I don't serve them well if I just give them general tips or what if,
what if I said, Oh just re-study to your training plan or just be confident.
I think it's too general and I'm doing them disservice.
That's why I am making this video for you guys to know that each J1 visa denial
has its own reason and you need to really know what is the reason.
So you know which one is to correct and which one is for example,
like how you answers like short and sweet is really nice.
But the thing is you're lacking off documents so that's why they're saying that
don't fix something that is working because if that is working like you know
your answers being short and sweet then do it.
What I'm trying to say is look for the real reason of your visa denial so you
know which one to improve and which one is the correct.
That's why on this second step,
I want you to write all the reasons for your visa denial.
So now you know all the reasons for your visa denial. Then third step, correct.
What went wrong.
So first tip is check your the DS-160 check all of the information that you have
input there, does it match your answer or did you put an incorrect information?
So that is something that is really important before you do your or before,
You do your second visa interview.
So you know that all the information that you're putting in your DS_160 or in
your online applications are true and honest and match your answer on the day of
your visa interview. Tip number two, revise your training plan.
So this comes it tricky,
you would need to only revise it if one the consul asks you to revise it because
it's not structured or doesn't fit well for you or it's not structured for you.
Like what I said earlier.
Second reason why you need your training plan revise is for example,
your start date is December 25 but the earliest a new visa appointment that you
can get is January 26 so it's already been more than a month or like a month and
one day since your start date.
So that is not going to be valid anymore so the consul will ask you,
you know,
again to revise your training plan so you don't want to keep revising it and you
know paying a hundred $160 for a new appointment.
So if you know that that will happen,
then you already need to revise your training plan. So just another tip,
if you don't want to spend more money just revising your training plan,
well good news. You can still use it. For example,
your start date is January one and your new visa appointment is January.
Then though it's only 10 days, you can still use it.
You don't need to revise her training plan 29 days after your start date.
But if it exceeds after 29 days,
then that's the time that you are required to revise your training plan.
But I have another tip for you is that if your new visa appointment is after
your start date for sample, it's within or in between the 29 days,
I highly suggest to bring a letter from your host company that they will still
accept you even after 10 days or even after 20 days of the start date of your
training plan.
Just in case you know it's like a supporting document for the consul to know
that the company is still willing to accept you even though you are late on your
start date. Tip number three, re-study your training plan.
So if one of the reasons of your visa denial is the console said that you don't
know much about your training plan or you didn't study well, then re-study it.
I have told you guys that what I mean by studying is not just reading it,
but understand it that this J one visa is for training and cultural experience
for you and that you can use this after you know you come back in your home
country, so to understand your training plan easier and better,
and to retain all the information that you know you are studying is write as
summary of it, write the summary of your training plan,
write it down because the more that you write it down,
the more it retains in your mind and then while you read it,
while you practice it,
you will now absorb more information and retaint it during the visa interview.
Tip number four, be authentic. Please guys,
always be authentic with your answer, if you guys remembered,
I made the video of how the pass your J1 visa interview question and answers.
So in that video I did all the possible questions that the consul may ask you
and I answer it the way I answered it during my J1 visa interview.
But the thing is, yes,
it's very helpful for all of the J1 interns that are, you know,
aspiring to get a J1 visa.
But the second thing that I saw is that a lot of students take my answer.
I mean, I don't have a problem with that, like them, you know,
getting my answer.
But the thing is they literally took the answer like word by word.
So you might be wondering,
well how did you know that a lot of students use your answer during the J1 visa
interview?
Because these students was messaging me and saying that I have been denied in
the J1 visa interview. Can you help me? So I help them. So I asked them,
what are the questions that the consul asks you and How did you answer them?
And when they read their answers,
it's literally the same like word by word from what I have said in my video.
So do you guys get the point that if you use the word by word that I gave you as
my answer in that video,
then the console already know or the console already heard that there's been,
you know like this J1 interns that been saying that I highly suggest that don't
use word by word from what I gave to you because there's really a lot of
students that already been doing that.
I am not saying that my answers are wrong,
but what I want you guys to do is use your own words.
The problem is not with the answers that I gave you in my video.
The problem is how you say it because it's first.
It's not your own words.
That's why you are not confident to say it and the consul knows if that is your
answer or not.
The consul knows if you're being authentic or being honest with your answer.
The consul knows if you are just, you know,
memorize someone's answers because it will show on how you deliver your answer.
It will show on the sound of your voice,
or if you just memorize someone's answer or if that is not really your words.
That's why I highly suggest for you guys to be authentic.
You can use my answer. Just be inspired with that.
But revise that. Use your own words. Write down your answers, like, Hey,
you know,
just get the thought of my answer and then write down your answers as your own
words. So the moment that you go to the J1 visa interview,
when you answer the consul,
you sound so what type of you sound so unique and it's really what you are
dreaming of.
Just a very good example is one student message me and asks me,
Hey Rio,
what do you think I should say to the consul when they asked me what was change
in my application, well first of all,
I don't know what was change in your application so I can't give you the answer.
Second is, I don't know what is the reason for your visa denial?
That's why you know you are the one who have the answer.
You are the one who knows what was changed in your application.
Did you change your training plan?
Did you change some information that you have entered incorrectly in your DS-160
or do you have now more proof to show that you have more ties in your home
country? See the answer is in you.
You just have to be more creative and think really what is the reason?
That's why I teach you guys these steps so you guys can figure this out because
I don't want to be someone who promotes laziness here.
If I keep giving you guys like everything yes I can show you,
I have a lot of information to show you guys.
That's why I am here sharing my experience and knowledge to you guys that you
can use but you cannot just like copy paste. You know what I'm saying?
You cannot just copy paste everything because you will not succeed in life if
you always just do copy paste. You need to be creative and you need to,
you know, really do the work that Hey, okay,
these are the thoughts or these are the ideas or possible ideas that how we can
answer the console.
But I will still use my own words and my own perspective to make it more
authentic. So if you guys know what I'm trying to say,
that let's proceed to the next tip. So tip number five,
be a straight forward to your answer, write all the possible questions and write
How do you want to answer it And if you think it is too long, try to shorten it.
Be always be straight forward and be specific with all the details that you are
giving to the consul. Tip number six, be confident. Yes,
yes Rio it is easier said than done. Well,
you know what my motto is. Fake it until you make it.
During my J1 visa interview. By the way, I did it twice.
I am always so nervous, like hopping into an interview. I remembered the last,
uh, J1 visa, uh,
interview that I did was I asked all of my friends and family members to pray
for me to pass the visa interview.
That's how nervous I am because I already truly believe in myself that I have
studied my training plan,
but I want those extra more vibes or effort like people like cheering for me.
Like Rio, you can do it Rio Yes, you can pass it. You know,
I think like people like praying for me to pass the visa interview or like
people cheering was really helpful and help to boost my confidence.
So if you think that people around you, like, you know,
if you need more support so you can be more confident then do it,
do whatever it takes for you to just have like extra,
more confidence during the visa interview.
Do you guys know the saying that practice makes improvement?
This is something that I truly believe if you guys want to boost your confidence
or if you don't know how to boost your confidence,
maybe try or doing a mock visa interview with your friends.
So the more that they ask you,
it's like the more that you answered them and the more that you will sound more
natural. When you are now here,
you know with a consul or you are doing the J1 visa interview because you
already practiced it so much that you think that you already memorized it or
really understood it and when you told your answer you sound more confident.
Also before we move onto the next step,
one way of boosting your confidence is practicing your answer or like practice
talking to the mirror because sometimes even though we are happy,
but when we talk it doesn't really show in our eyes.
That's why I always tried to look at them your or for example here at this
screen on my camera to see what expression am I giving to my audience.
Because there are times that even though I am happy,
sometimes I act like I am not happy.
That's why I always watch my facial expression that you also should watch out
for. So when you go to the J1 visa interview,
the consul would not think that you are not confident or you are being nervous
or you are lying to them or you are not interested with them.
Tip number seven, schedule your visa interview during the first,
second and third quarter of the year. If you can,
I don't know what time you will, you will be watching this,
but if you are watching this here like during the first,
second and third quarter, do it now.
You are on the right timing because you will have more chances on passing the J1
interview. Because like what I've told you from my last video,
Trump did a major cut in the J1 visa slots So every year there are only a
certain numbers of J1 visa that can be given to a student in each country.
So if you apply during the last quarter of the year,
then there will be lesser spots and there will be lesser probably for you to get
that J1 visa.
So if you're watching this video and it's already the month of August or
September,
make sure to comply faster with all the requirements to your agency because you
would like to schedule your visa appointment during the third quarter so you
have more percentage of passing the J1 visa.
