How to have an effective and reasonable dialogue with visa officers when studying in the United States

The validity and rationality of the dialogue with the visa officer: the visa officer will ask questions from the following three aspects:

1) life direction: including current education, work, family background, personal preferences, study abroad plan in the United States, future career planning, etc. Through these questions, the visa officer can infer whether you have made a reasonable and effective study plan according to your current background (including whether your chosen school and major are reasonable, whether it is consistent with your academic background and work background), whether you have the ability to complete your studies in the United States, and whether your future employment direction is consistent with your study plan, so as to decide whether you are a real student, an applicant who studies the study plan carefully and a responsible applicant.

2) Language: Are you really ready to study in America? Therefore, the company requires all applicants to have a certain English proficiency certificate before the interview, such as TOFELorIELTSorGMAT (such as applying for MBA) or GRE. Even if your exam results are not necessarily good, ideal or even low, you can prove to the visa officer that you have taken this kind of exam in the interview; Although you don't do well in the exam, it will make the visa officer think that you have really made relevant preparations for studying in the United States consistent with your study purpose; Although I didn't do well in the exam, it is reasonable to learn the language first after I arrive in the United States. If you don't take this kind of exam and just want to study in the United States, it will make the visa officer suspect that you are not a serious student. You may just be interested in American countries, which is a fatal immigration tendency! !

3) Funds: Whether your family has the financial support ability and reasonable sources of funds to pay for the tuition and living expenses needed to study in the United States, it is necessary to prove that your family has a large surplus besides paying for your study abroad (that is, whether your study abroad affects the daily consumption expenses of other family members), so as to prove that your study abroad should be reasonable for yourself and your family.

The purpose of the above three elements is to influence the visa officer and make him form a good perceptual understanding of the applicant. On this basis, he will conduct rational verification by reviewing written materials.

Applicants should bring necessary materials (such as I20 forms and notices, sufficient funds and sources of funds, etc.). ) during the interview, but these materials may not be shown to the visa officer. Because, your interview performance usually produces the following three results:

1. If the visa officer is satisfied with your interview performance, he will give you a visa directly without reading the written materials;

2. If the visa officer is very dissatisfied with your personal interview performance, he will directly reject your application without looking at the materials;

3. If the visa officer is satisfied with your personal interview performance and wants to issue you a visa, but there are uncertain factors for you and want to confirm it through written materials, the visa officer will only read the written materials and will generally issue you a visa after reviewing the materials; Otherwise, the visa is refused.

Despite the above three results, we should make the best preparations to ensure the completeness, rationality and sufficiency of the materials. Applicants should bring two parts of visa materials, one part is the necessary materials (visa necessary materials); The other part is foil materials (referring to extra, such as personal works, honorary certificates, etc. It has a visual impact on visa officers. ), because adequate preparation will also increase the applicant's self-confidence and make your performance in front of the visa officer more perfect.
