There are lots of good universities in countries other than the US--look at the UK, Canada, Australia, France.....  something about your application that they didn't like.  If you are strong academically, you should have lots of options.  Sorry to hear about your refusal but if I were in your situation I would look elsewhere.  Good luck!

I can't afford it in other places, this was a scholarship

Student visas are not granted based on who is better academically- the only bar for that is acceptance at a university. The most common reasons for refusals are (1) the CO did not believe you have enough funding to properly cover your stay (also raises risk of work in violation of student visa) and/or (2) you did not demonstrate sufficiently strong ties to home to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent that is applied to all non-immigrant visas. It is probably unlikely that you will be successful in a future attempt if nothing in your circumstances changes, so Europe may indeed be a better option for college for you. Sorry, it probably does seem unfair.

Well I didn't need funding because the scholarship covers everything, also he didn't ask a single question related to my ties to my home country

Nothing to do with Brexit, La Manche! 

 

I always wonder how people afford US Tuition, lot of moaning about UK Tuition rates and they pale into insignificance compared to US costs, From an Algerian perspective even more so.

 

Remember reading about a couple in CA, I think she is a Lawyer and him a Dentist and between them they had racked up $650,000.

 

 

I can't afford them both, I just was successful in securing a scholarship in the US that's why I applied there

Ok, so it’s not the funding. (Just to confirm, you got a total full ride scholarship covering all expenses? Airfare? ) Not unusual for them not to ask questions- they mainly go by what’s in the DS160.

I am a little confused because your initial post said you were denied without even going to AP and one of the posts you added today says you are on AP. Which is it?

well to clarify things, this scholarship covers everything except the airfare, and they also asked for around 2000$ for personal expanses which I had, so on October I applied and I got rejected right away without any explanation, the paper I was given had the code 214b which means I didn't prove my ties to my home country (correct me if I am wrong) but the problem wasn't here the problem was that she didn't ask a single question about my ties or my plans after graduation to sum it up no question that could lead to the 214b in fact she didn't ask that many questions at all just why did I choose the US and why did I choose that university and who's helping me with the personal expanses, I was confused so I asked her because I knew what's 214b before I went to the visa interview I did my research, anyway she didn't reply with anything helpful, so I just went home then I talked to the university and they decided to change my entry date so I applied again for this month on the 2nd of January, it was very satisfying this interview he asked a lot of questions he smiled and so on then suddenly his facial expression changed (after around 7m my visa interview was longer than the ones before me) and he asked for the acceptance letter which I found was weird because it was so sudden i mean we passed the university subject and went to why did I choose the US and who's helping me with the personal expanses, anyway I handed it to him he read it very thoroughly like he really took his time with it then he said he'll be sending me to AP and that's it.

So the upshot of that long post is yes you are actually on AP and not outright refused as your first post claimed?

in that case there are myriad reasons you could be on AP, ranging from checking the funding offer is genuine to security concerns and anything in between.

You’re claiming you are not on AP but keep saying you are when you describe the interview. If you are taking about previius AP then maybe um don’t because it sounds like you are describing the most recent interview when you go into great detail in this thread

it's in French/Arabic, it says that:

Dear applicant you got rejected under 221g but you might have a chance to get accepted

Please give information regarding for the following:
-Original I20 or falsified

-SEVIS fee Payment

-Falsified picture

-Lack of proof of funds

-Passport

-Other 

and that's it, he ticked "Other" as I mentioned so I don't know what he meant

Based on what else the CO ticked,  I would think "other" is the least of the issues  . . .  1 falsified often leads to getting a ban.  2 is pretty bad.  The CO probably wanted to know how the SEVIS Fee was paid.

You might have a scholarship but you also need funds for travel and incidentals.

yea he asked me about how I got the money and so on I answered that my uncle helped me so he asked about him too and that's it, he only ticked "Other" nothing else I guess the other issues are not for me, as I said the university said that I would need 2000$ minimum for personal expanses, so I showed an amount greater than that, he didn't ask me to show him the proof of funds he just asked where I got the money.

The interview was over with the falsified items. But . . .

Unfortunately the University does not speak for USCIS.   A local community college here recommends $300 to $500 per month indicentials for full scholarship students.

 

If you had gotten past the falsified info you probably would have gotten hung up with not having plane reservations.

 

What University was it?

Maharishi International University
I've told him that I had 4000$ and the program was a 8 months program
