Just to clarify things. 1. I don't have any family or relatives in the U.S. 2. The amount on I-20 was $30,000. 3. After the interview, my father had $28k in his account and it took us the 6 days (two of which were weekend days so banks were closed) to reach the required threshold so we can issue a new bank statement. The Visa officer asked me for a bank statement that just shows the available balance. So, the one I've sent them doesn't show any deposits or transactions. Most things were sent to the school by email but they specifically asked for physical copies of the transcript and bank statement.

The letter I recieved is in Arabic. It's vague and doesn't mention any specific reason for the denial. The main point translates to something along the lines of "You have been found ineligible for a nonimmigrant visa based on section 214(b)". I'm assuming the denial is most likely due to the delay in sending the bank statement especially because my case got updated the next day after sending the email (sent email on 30/Jan), plus, I don't have anything negative in my background that might warrant a refusal on other grounds.

Hello everyone! I would really appreciate your guidance. I've had my interview for an F1 visa two weeks ago. My profile is strong and I did very well at the interview, but at the end, the Visa officer asked me to show her the bank statement of my sponsor which is my father. Now, I didn't have the bank statement with me at the time because I've mailed it alongside other application documents to the university I had applied to. I explained that and told her that I can issue a new one and send it to the embassy. So, she kept my passport and I-20 with her, moved my application into Adminstrative Processing under section 221(g), and told me that after I email them the bank statement I will recieve a phone call telling me to come pay the Visa printing fees. I emailed them the bank statment 6 days after the interview date (the reason for the delay is that my father's account was down $2k from the amount on the I-20 and he had to raise the missing amount). A day after submitting the email, my application status got updated to "Refused" and yesterday I recieved back my passport with a refusal paper. Taking my situation into perspective, do you recommend me to apply immediately again on the same I-20 (without having changed anything in my application) considering that I will now have the bank statemtent with me? And will my chances of getting the Visa on the second try still be high when I explain to the Visa officer the reason why there was a delay in sending the bank statement? What's your advice? Thank you!
