Terms

Rejected. Then Approved. is a free PDF by Priyam Raj. Read it, save it, share the page. Please don't repackage it or sell it.

It is a personal account of one person's two US visa applications. It is not legal advice, not immigration advice, and not a visa service of any kind. Nothing in it guarantees or predicts any outcome; every visa decision is made by a consular officer. The author is not a lawyer, immigration consultant, agent or representative of any government. If your situation needs professional advice, get it from a qualified professional who has reviewed your complete circumstances.

The page also links to a coaching service run by a former US visa officer. That service is his, not the author's: booking, payment and the coaching itself happen on his site under his terms. If you book through the link on this page, the author receives a referral fee.

Privacy

This page collects as little as possible:

• The guide. To open the PDF you enter your email. It goes on a list of readers, kept by the author only: no newsletter, never shared or sold.
• The coaching link. If you enter your email to get the former officer's booking link, it is stored so referrals can be matched to bookings, and shared with him for that purpose only.
• Analytics. The site uses a self-hosted, cookie-free Umami instance that records page views without identifying you.
• Email. If you write to [email protected], your message is kept only to reply to you.

Nothing is sold or shared beyond what's described above. To have your email deleted, write to [email protected].
