MY Own Case at the US Embassy?

I had admission/scholarship to study in a US College last year's August and after getting the f-1, I went in for the interview in Us embassy Lagos. To my surprise, I was denied the f-1 visa. Clear reasons they didn't state, (mayb because I was a first time traveler, or because part of the scholarship money was payed by my sponsors in the US) but served me the normal Non-immigrant denial letter. My case was genuine and since I had a scholarship I was eager to go for it, I had all original docs and even letters from US senator's office sent to them. I tried again five times in the same year, giving 2 months gap but still denied 5 times, reasons still not clear, but they took the non-refundable 100usd every interview (guess how much for 5 interviews). I felt so disappointed, I am now in Malaysia studying and would like to try for a Visit visa from here, is there any possibility of getting it from here in Malaysia? My last appearance at the embassy in Lagos was in January.

  1. If you've already been turned down 5 times in your own country, the chances of getting a tourist visa in another country are extremely low.  You have to show strong social and economic ties to your own country, and that's usually easier at home than abroad. And, it will cost you $100 every time you try. The fee is for the interview, not for the visa.


  2. if you have applied 5 times already? why apply again ?

    it matters not where you applied from ? if they denied you ? i think they will probably deny you again,

    i cannot guess if the Embassy will give you a visa from Malaysia? i feel bad that you could not go study , but i really cannot give you an answer that would give you hope ,i am sorry .

  3. In principle, each time you apply for a visa, you are judged on your current circumstances in their entirety.  The fact that you have been denied so many times in the past does not reflect well on your current circumstances. Unless your situation has changed dramatically (job, property, social ties, etc.), it is unlikely that you would be granted a visa.
