That is not true. The Visa Officers decide whether to grant you a Visa or not.
Their decision is dependent on your ability to convince them that you’re a genuine student and that you will depart the US upon completion of your studies.
Unfortunately, rumors such as the one you shared exists. Ignore them. Instead follow the recommendations we’ve made in our videos to maximize your chances of getting a Visa.
Good luck!
