Matters needing attention in studying abroad visa in the United States

During the visa interview for studying in the United States, the visa officer will ask you questions such as the purpose of going to the United States, your major, and the time you spent studying in the United States. Get ready before the interview. Generally, only a few questions will be asked about studying in the United States:

(1) How many schools did you apply for? Why did you choose the one you are admitted to now?

(2) Why do you want to go to America? If you have a handler, you should be able to prepare proof of funds for you to ensure that you have the ability to finish reading.

May I ask what your parents do?

Will you come back?

However, some questions may also be raised. We don't fight unprepared battles. The following are the common interview questions for American study visas for applicants' reference:

(1) Ask about the purpose of going to America.

What to study in America?

What will you do in America?

What are you going to study in America?

What are you going to do in America?

Are you going to study in America?

What do you want to study in America?

A: I will study for a doctorate in mathematics at the University of Florida.

(2) the purpose of asking for a visa

What is the purpose of your application for this visa?

I need an F- 1 visa to study for a doctorate in mathematics at the University of Florida. I plan to finish my studies in about five years, and then return to China.

(3) Ask about the current behavior and location.

Where are you studying now?

I am now studying for a master's degree in mathematics at Beijing Normal University.

(4) Ask about the time spent in the United States.

How long will you study in America?

A: About five years. My future tutor said that if I work hard, I can get my doctorate in a shorter time.

(5) Ask questions about the study plan

What is your bachelor's/master's/doctor's job?

A: I will complete the courses, teaching, research and papers in the fields of algorithms and mathematical modeling in five years to get a doctorate in mathematics.

(6) Ask questions about the background.

What is your academic background?

A: From 1993 to 1997, I studied for a bachelor's degree at Minzu University of China. I have been studying for a master's degree at Beijing Normal University since September. I will graduate and get a master's degree in a few days.

(7) Ask questions to American schools

How do you know about this university?

A: The University of Florida is a famous university in the United States. I began to know about the University of Florida from my professor. He encouraged me to study for a doctorate at the University of Florida, because there are the best professors in my field.

(8) Ask the reason for choosing a school.

Why did you choose this university?

First of all, the University of Florida is one of the famous universities in America. There are many excellent mathematicians in the University of Florida. Secondly, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Florida offers a wide range of courses in mathematical science, especially applied mathematics. There is an excellent math teacher. Among the faculty, there is a Fields Prize winner and a Moscow Prize winner, which are the two most prestigious awards in the field of mathematical science. Third, students can get careful advice and individual attention.

(9) Questioning the existing degree.

When/where did you get your Bachelor of Science degree?

I got a bachelor's degree in 1997 from Minzu University of China. In a few days, I will get a master's degree in mathematics from Beijing Normal University.

(10) Ask questions about your major.

What is your major?

In what respect of ... What major will you study?

My undergraduate and postgraduate majors are applied mathematics. I will continue my PhD in mathematics at the University of Florida, and my designated research areas will be algorithms and mathematical modeling.

(1 1) Asking professional questions

Why do you like your major?

A: First of all, I like math. I won many different math competitions in China. For example, I won the first prize in the National Junior High School Mathematical Olympiad 1990 and the National Senior High School Mathematical Olympiad 1992. I won the national second prize 1996 in the national mathematical modeling competition for college students. Secondly, through the success and failure in study and research, I really feel the important role of mathematics in science and real life. Scientists without a good mathematical background can't do in-depth research. Considering my future development, I decided to continue to study mathematics in depth.

(12) asked whether to change majors.

What's the difference between your major now and that in America?

A: There is no difference between them. My undergraduate study and postgraduate study belong to mathematics. Only my postgraduate study will be more detailed and advanced. I will specialize in algorithms and mathematical modeling, which is a branch of mathematics.

(13) The most difficult class question

What difficult lessons do you have?

ANS: Probably functional analysis. It is a course about advanced mathematics, which requires high abstract thinking ability and high calculation skills.

(14) Asking questions about subsidies

Why did you get financial aid from this university?

A: Yes. According to the evaluation of my resume, personal statement, undergraduate report card and gre TOEFL score, the department gave me a teaching assistant scholarship.

(15) questions from doctoral students

Why do you want to study for a doctorate?

A: First of all, I realize that engaging in this research provides many challenges, and it is necessary to expand my knowledge in the field of mathematics. My long-term goal is to become a leading scientist in my field. Considering my future development, I think a doctorate is necessary for me to achieve my career goals. So I decided to continue to study my mathematics in depth. Secondly, I got my Ph.D. in the United States, and it is easy to find a good job in any university or research institute in China.

(16) Asking about the plan of returning to China

What are your plans? What will you do after graduation?

A: I will specialize in algorithms and mathematical modeling, and finish my doctoral research in mathematics at the University of Florida. Then I will go back to China and do research in the laboratory of Beijing Normal University. There are many theoretical topics and practical projects supported by the government and companies.

(17) Asking about the reasons for returning to China.

Give me three reasons why you will return to China?

A: First of all, China is a developing country and needs a lot of talents. Therefore, after receiving my Ph.D. in the United States, it is easy for me to find a good job in China, and it is also easier for me to get a higher position and become a leading scientist in the academic field in China. Secondly, I love my mother and father. I owe them a lot because I am their only son. The least I can do for them is to take care of them when they are old. I have many friends and relatives here, too. I can't leave. Third, the China government gives priority to students from the United States to establish their careers. For example, Zhongguancun in Beijing and Pudong in Shanghai.

(18) Ask the reason for not returning to China.

Can you explain why 90% of overseas students from China didn't come back?

A: There may be many reasons. In fact, this used to be a reality. However, great changes have taken place in recent years, and more and more students come back after completing their studies. Moreover, the China government has given priority to students from the United States to establish their careers. For example, Zhongguancun in Beijing and Pudong in Shanghai.

(19) Questions about choosing the United States.

Why do you want to study in America?

In America, I can learn the latest knowledge in my field. America has the best universities, the best professors and the best educational conditions.

Tips:

(1) If the visa officer asks you whether you want to stay in the United States, you must firmly say no! China will have a better development. Never say that you intend to find a job in the United States. As long as you don't have an immigrant tendency, you can generally get by.

You must be proficient in English, otherwise they will think that you can't adapt to studying in America. It doesn't matter if you have an accent, nobody cares, as long as you answer questions like a stream.
