Yes, it’s highly recommended that you prepare if you have any doubts about your profile or chances of approval. Rejection rates for B1/B2 U.S. visas can reach up to 40% in certain countries, and one out of every three F1 visa applicants may face rejection. We’ll review your DS-160/DS-260 forms, offer feedback, address your concerns, and guide you in presenting your story effectively to the consular officer.
Moreover, unprepared applicants may face delays, even if they meet the qualifications. Administrative processing under 221G can pose significant challenges, particularly for those applying for H1-B, L-1, K, or immigrant visas. Our expertise lies in handling these visa categories, and we can assist you in thorough preparation, ensuring you understand the required documents and information sought by the visa officer, thus increasing your chances of swift approval.
