Hi dear friends

I am an Iranian citizen who had a F1 visa interview in US embassy in Tashkent/Uzbekistan. However, after several weeks, they informed me and 5 other visa applicants (they had interview on different) that our visas have been refused under Section 212(a)(3)(A)(i). It seems so strange that all of us have been refused in one single day and under the same Section! I read the mentioned Section and it is so unrelated to me (and other 5 applicants). We had NO RELATION to reasons mentioned in the section. I guess it happens since consulars of US embassy in Tashkent are not familiar with Iranian's case. Also, based on the information from friends who called Washington, it is noted that consulars in Tashkent do the administrative process by themselves, no action is done in Washington or other places.

Now, I deferred my admission to Winter 2013, and the staff in University are providing a new I20 for me. I am going to apply for a US visa in your embassy. But, I have some questions:

1) Can I apply again for a US visa? Or the rejection is permanent?
2) Do I have any chances to be qualified to receive a F1 US visa?

Thanks in advance for your time and considerations
Bests,
