Hello everybody, please tell me what you think about my situation.
My GirlFriend came to USA on J-1 visa last summer, then she changed her status to B-1 until march the 30th of 2006. She left the country on March 29th having immigration approval notice onhand. Now she got accepted to one of the community colleges. She got her I-20 where I'm shown as a family friend and have available funds for her in amount of 47k. When she went to the embassy she was denied visa because she said that I'm her sponsor. We are currently in process of reissuing her new I-20 where all the funds are going to be shown on her father's account. Having all these in mind and recent visa refusal (all other documents are fine), does she have lots of chances being approved from 2nd attempt.

PS: All this pertains to Russian Embassy in Moscow

All your comments are greatly appreciated, did anybody have similar experience?
 
She should get one. My girlfirend received F-1 visa for ESL 1 year program :) Consul didn't even check up financial documents (all docs were fine, not fraud). Visa granted :) Sponsor was family friend in the USA :) She is not going to work in the USA.
 
Here key is, her immigration intention - having family/boy friend in US and supporting her for life. (Assumption is she is not going to come back to Russia after her study).

Now chances are 50/50, your files (refusal details) are already there with embassy, your boy friend is still in US, how you are going to convince that you are not a potential immigrant. Ball is in your court to prove infront of the Sr Counsel.
