Hi everybody,

I would appreciate if a gentleman here shed light on my issue. I applied for F1 student visa very long time ago, somewhere around summer 2014. Today, my application is refused due to ineligibility under section 212 (a) (3) (A)(1). My field doesn't really matter, but if what I do matter, I design for reducing the environmental impacts. If you think it may help, I've got a master admission without a fund in a university providing vast majority of fields.

[1] Is this type of visa denial permanent?

[2] If it is not permanent, can I apply for F1 visa to pursue another field like applied math with low sensitivities, somewhere else but in US?

[3] They specifically said "...you are ineligible to receive a visa...," the section says "inadmissible under the following paragraph are ineligible to receive a visa and ineligible to be admitted to the United States...," so what is it? Is this refusal made because of matter of ineligibility, which has something to do with the law, or inadmissible, which has nothing to do with the law?

[4] Is this refusal negotiable? I mean can I apply again to have an interview and discuss the facts and evidences to have the embassy adjudicate my refused request?

[5] How can I find out what was the exact reason (i.e. sabotage and espionage, or technological transfer)?

[6] What about the immigration chance? I mean if the same person have a chance to immigrate, after the immigration that eliminates all possible three items, is it possible to reconsider pursuing exactly the same, or the immigration is being affected by this unfortunate event?

[6] What is your general recommendation?

Thank You
