What are the requirements for applying for a DTV Soft Power visa in the United States?
United States, Soft Power Course Length...
Interested to hear from those who have been approved recently for DTV Soft Power in the United States. I am deciding what school and program length to buy for a Soft Power culinary application. I'll be submitting this week to the NYC consulate. To date, I have not read a report that definitely indicated a US consulate rejected someone (or downgraded them to a Tourist Visa) because they signed up for a 6-month course instead of a 9-month course. I do understand this has become an issue at other consulates - Jakarta for example. But since I'm dealing with the US consulate system, applying in the US, I'm leaning towards deciding a 6 month course is still sufficient. Curious to have your thoughts...

Summary so far
The post inquires about the appropriate length of study for a DTV Soft Power visa application in the United States, particularly regarding whether a 6-month culinary course would be sufficient compared to a 9-month option. The author notes the lack of definitive reports indicating consulate rejections based purely on course duration, although other consulates, such as Jakarta's, have shown issues. The comments stray from the main topic, focusing instead on humor and anecdotes related to visa overstays.
