U.S. visa application: three tips to impress the U.S. visa interviewer

The US visa interview is just an exam

Katrina majored in international politics at Guangzhou Foreign Studies University. During her freshman year, she contacted the marketing major at the University of San Francisco. However, she was refused a visa by the U.S. Consulate because the visa officer suspected that she had immigration intentions.

Katrina recalled that the interview was quite bad. In the previous mock interviews, she was seated, but during the real interview, she was standing, which made her very uncomfortable; the interviewer’s speaker was broken. Katrina couldn't hear what the interviewer was saying; more than a minute of the interview passed in a blink of an eye, and she was rejected before she even handed in her materials.

According to experts, the study abroad agency Katrina found is good at UK study visas and prepares US study visas based on the UK study visa model. The British and Canadian study visas do not require an interview. The visa officer only needs to read the documents; for the American study visa, the interview is the most critical. Remember "Too many words lead to mistakes"

Experts have summarized three "face-to-face lessons": react quickly and speak slowly; act when you open your mouth; and follow the visa officer with your eyes.

The interview with the visa officer is in the form of a chat, but the interviewer must be clear that "talking too much will lead to mistakes", and the answers must be as simple as possible, leaving the visa officer with the impression of "quick response and slow speech". Submit your materials at the right time

It is necessary to bring all the materials to the visa interview, but when should you submit the materials to the visa officer? Wherever the conversation ends, the corresponding materials should be handed over for reference. This is the so-called "do it when you ask." "Following the visa officer with your eyes" means paying attention to eye contact with the visa officer and guessing what the visa officer wants to know. Three tips to impress the US visa interviewer
