Most Common Rejection Reasons

There are the most common reasons I noticed/heard for visa rejections. Note that rejections are frequent and you can always try again with rectifications.

• Talking way too much unnecessarily 
• Not talking at all
• Vague and superficial answers
• Lack of explanation for funding
• Too low GRE score (<295)
• Applying for F1 after working for more than 10 years  + Low GRE score (<300)
• Taking admission into obscure name college despite having admits from better name colleges
• Indicating directly/indirectly that you will not come back
• Relatives in USA (This one’s disputable reason. It depends on case to case though)
• Not able to provide supporting documentation when asked (Such as loan sanction letter or GRE score or bank statements)
• Bad luck – yes I have seen this happen. Sometimes you’ll have everything on your side but luck.
