How important is it to get a consultant when trying to get F-1 visa to US from India?

I have a friend trying to get an F-1 student visa to US. He went to embassy once and was rejected even though he meets all the qualifications and has all the documentation according to the website. Will a consultant help? How much do they cost? How do you find a good one (in Delhi)? Do most people get rejected once and have to try again? Thanks!! :)

Answer:
If he thinks it'll help, go for it, but it still does not guarantee approval. The major thing to remember with an F-1 visa is that it is a non-immigrant intent. That is the biggest reason people get denied, because they cannot prove they have enough "ties to home". If he owns any property, has a lot of family at home, a job offer waiting for him at home, etc, he should mention it all. The job tends to be the most convincing factor--if he can get a letter from a company guaranteeing him a job for when he returns, this will help his visa interview go a lot smoother.

Consultation is always better. Consultant can help you. You can contact various trade directories / yellow pages / MTNL 197 etc. Any one can re-apply. Getting visa of US is NOT simple.
