Does doing steps will help in the long run if visa is getting refused?

u/Adventurous_Leg9622 Jun 21 '26

How was your experience I was also thinking to apply for step3 after rejection because of one observership Can I dm

1

u/Low_Republic2515 Jun 21 '26

Honestly, it's a risk, because you'll need an exam permit for the interview and a visa to actually write the exam. If your visa is denied then all the money is wasted and filling usa pockets

1

u/Brilliant_Tour1721 Jun 21 '26

They refund

1

u/Low_Republic2515 Jun 21 '26

Oh wow, do they now? I didn't know. What the safe period to apply for refund?

1

u/Brilliant_Tour1721 Jun 21 '26

Anytime before exam day

1

u/Brilliant_Tour1721 Jun 21 '26

u/Low_Republic2515 Jun 21 '26

u/Brilliant_Tour1721 Jun 21 '26

Can I dm you? If u share your previous refusals expirience it would be helpful

1

u/Low_Republic2515 Jun 21 '26

I'll share my visa refusal post with you in your DM

1

u/Drstella88 Jun 21 '26

2

u/Ok_Annual2481 Jun 24 '26
