Explain in detail the precautions on the day of the American immigrant visa interview!

Many applicants think that they must queue up at the consulate gate as soon as possible on the day of the interview, but in fact all applicants have an agreed interview time, and there is no need to wait at the consulate gate for a long time before the interview. We suggest that you arrive at the US Consulate General in Guangzhou at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time. When entering the consulate, you need to show your passport and letter of appointment to the security personnel, and then pass the security check. Remember not to carry any prohibited items, such as any form of weapons, mobile phones, personal bags, etc. Security generally takes 5 to 15 minutes.

Articles prohibited by the consulate from being carried by the applicant:

Weapons and any explosive materials

Sharp objects such as scissors, knives and nail clippers.

Battery-powered devices or electronic products, such as mobile phones, pagers, cameras, notebook computers, portable music players, handheld game machines, USB drives, floppy disks, audio/video tapes and optical disks.

A sealed envelope or package.

Earplugs, headphones and other hearing devices (hearing AIDS are allowed)

All kinds of food, including bottled water (* except infant formula/food)

Bags, such as travel bags, backpacks, briefcases, suitcases, wallets, cloth bags and zippered folders.

Cigars, cigars, matchboxes, lighters

To sum up, only some contraband items are listed, and other unlisted items can be brought into the library with the security personnel.

After passing the security check, please enter the consulate building through the courtyard, and then take the elevator to the waiting hall on the third floor. First of all, you have to go to window 1 to get the number, then sit in area A and wait for the called number and submit the information. The electronic screen will prompt you for the window number. Please pay attention to the display of the electronic screen while waiting. When your number is called, please go to the corresponding window and submit the required information to the staff.

After the information is submitted, please wait for the visa interview in area B. Similarly, pay attention to the display of the electronic screen when waiting. Usually, it takes 20 to 40 minutes from the submission of materials to the interview. When your number is called, please go to the corresponding window to interview the consular officer.

Take a deep breath. Archons are ordinary people! Usually, the consul will spend a few minutes talking with the applicants about their immigrant visa applications. In fact, face-to-face conversation with the consul is often a simple process, and the consul will conduct an interview in Mandarin. The consul will greet the applicant first and then start the interview. During the interview, the consul will ask you to take a fingerprint and take an oath. The most important thing you need to remember is that you have taken an oath, so you should answer the questions truthfully. If you don't understand this problem, don't worry. You can ask the consul to repeat the question. Consuls should ensure that all applicants have the opportunity to answer questions comprehensively and honestly.

After the visa interview, the consul will tell you whether the visa application is approved. If approved, the consul will give you a notice telling you how and when to collect the visa package. After the interview, the consulate will take good care of your passport, print the visa and stick it on your passport.

If your application is rejected, the consul will explain to you why it was rejected and what to do next. At the same time, you will also receive a letter of refusal in Chinese and English. Your visa interview is over after the consul tells you that the visa has been approved or rejected.
