Things to pay attention to during the U.S. immigration visa interview

Before participating in the US visa interview, you must make various preparations, such as psychological preparation, material preparation, etc.

1. A good start: say good morning and good afternoon to show friendliness and politeness. Some applicants are nervous, have dull facial expressions, or are silent, which can easily cause the immigration officer to misunderstand that the applicant has something to hide.

2. Arrive on time: If you are late for one hour or more, except for special circumstances, the immigration officer can generally refuse to interview, and the applicant must make a new appointment; if you are late for two times or do not attend, the application will be rejected.

3. Be well prepared: The appointment letter states that you must bring documents, but not all of them are necessarily included, so it depends on the situation. It is best to bring more; especially birth certificates, marriage or divorce certificates, Tax forms, proof of address, court judgments, etc.

4. Accurate data: First check whether the document data is correct and consistent to avoid errors in birth dates, different names, lack of proof of changes in marital status, old addresses not updated, documents not translated into English, and data changes. However, the application form, etc. have not been revised. If the immigration officer discovers the above errors, he must ask for clarification, otherwise the case will be postponed.

5. Answer honestly: This is the first principle. Talking too much, talking nonsense, or even bearing false witness will cause a lot of trouble.

6. Good communication: Listen clearly to the U.S. immigration officer’s questions. If you don’t understand, ask the other party for clarification. Answering casually or misunderstanding may cause misunderstandings and lead to further cross-examination.

7. Be familiar with the application form: Passing the naturalization test questions does not mean successful naturalization; only preparing the test questions and ignoring the questions on the form will result in failure.
