Thank you for the reply!!! I see where I messed up. I TOO said "yes" and it didn't happen. I miscounted for some reason, when turning the chart. So, here's what I did.
She's from another country, placing her in the 9th house. She's looking for admittance to the US, so we need something from the government, so that's the 10th house from the 9th house, which takes us to the 6th house (6th house radical), or have the power to do so. However, it is the agency that grants the Visa, which would make it the 7th house radical (or one house from the 10th as an extension of the government). But this is a governmental contract, which would move it to the 3rd house (for contracts, paperwork, red-tape, as this is a contract from the US gov to enter that country under specific conditions & not the 7th house again from the 11th because as this is more like a driver's license) from the sixth, making it the ninth house. Which, like you said, made
the ruler of the Visa grant.
(So I came to the same house that you did in the end.)
I can't remember the receptions but they were good. The

. I see that as being flustered and coming off wrong at the hearing. Not expressing one's self well. Maybe coming off aggressively and being off putting. I didn't factor that in. Because the

Nevertheless,

HOWEVER, with the ruler of the first and the ninth both being
and the
applying, I thought it was a done deal.
The outcome was that under this visa program the law requires three things to be shown or proved, one of which is that the native will return home. The "judge" did not believe she'd return home—which is absurd. Her work, her family (husband and children), parents, etc. are all in her home country. She just wanted to go to an event and take a class. So the denial was just bizarre.
So I got this wrong. We both got it wrong. It is a mystery.
Thanks Rafaella
P.S. I just skimmed it again, so might have forgotten some things that I looked at. But that's the gist of what I was thinking.
