    Previously Rejected Under Section 212(A)(3)(a), Applying After 2 Years on New I-20
    Hi,

    I applied to USA for MS in 2006 and secured scholarship in top ranked universities. However, I did not get visa under section 212(a)3 A probably because I was working in defense laboratory as a scientist then. My visa was rejected twice on the same grounds (in Aug, 2006 and Jan, 2007).

    Subsequently, I left the job in 2007 and started pursuing masters in India and have again secured scholarship for PhD in top ranked US university.

    What are my chances of getting visa this time given that I have left the job and the university is different. How much would my past interviews affect their (consulate) decision this time. Kindly comment. Thanks a lot.

    We have no way of knowing if the concerns have been, or can be, adequately addressed. I suggest that you work with an immigration lawyer.
