What not to say during the U.S. visa interview

If you want to study in the United States, applying for a visa and interview are necessary steps. So what are some answers that you cannot answer during a U.S. visa interview? Let’s take a look together! Below is the application process for a U.S. study visa that I have organized. Welcome to read.

Don’t say these words during the U.S. visa interview

The types of U.S. visa applications are also different because of their different purposes.

B1 B2 B1/B2 F1 J1 M1 H1B and other types of visas.

But the most frequently applied for is the B1/B2 visa.

B1 business visa, B2 tourist visa and family visit visa.

Among them, tourist visa has the largest number of applicants, accounting for about 50% of all visa applicants.

Now let’s talk about some issues about tourist visas.

A U.S. tourist visa requires an interview. The questions often asked during the interview are:

1. Why go to the United States?

2. Where to go to the United States? How many times are you going? Days?

3. Why didn’t you choose an Asian country that is closer to you and choose us, the United States, first?

4. Did you go alone?

　5. Why go alone?

7. Do you have relatives in the United States?

8. What is your main job?

9. Do you have a house in China?

10. Have you ever been abroad?

Among them, applicants find it the most difficult.

The questions that are most likely to be rejected are:

Why did you go alone? Why didn’t your spouse and children go?

Why do Americans like to ask this question?

This is different from Americans. Culture is inseparable. The American concept is that family is particularly important. Wherever you go, try to bring your family with you. You see, when foreigners come to work in our country, they have to take over their wives and children. Their concept is that family is not important. You can live in two places for a long time, or there are happy things that need to be shared with the family.

Generally, applicants ask questions like this:

My spouse is busy at work and has no time for the children to go to school.

It is difficult for visa officers to be convinced by such cold answers, and such questions and answers may very well lead to visa rejection.

The reason is:

Remember, all the questions asked by the visa officer are to determine the motivation of the interview applicant to go to the United States and to confirm whether he has the intention to immigrate.

To put it simply, it is to confirm that you will definitely return to China after you go. For ordinary people, the bond of family is a good reason to return to the country. If you cannot answer this question well, the chance of being refused a visa will be very high.

We can change the same sentence. One way will have different effects.

Clever answer for reference

Answer 1: My wife has not retired yet, I have already retired. If I ask him to come this time, he/she will not come because he/she is afraid of flying. , I had no choice but to apply for a visa first, sign up for a tour group and travel around by myself.

Answer 2: We originally planned to go together, but before coming to get the visa, his/her temporary company had an emergency and could not leave, so I had to come for the interview alone, and she/he could only sign the visa next time.

Answer 3: I like to travel and visit various places. She/he doesn't like to travel, so I can only sign it by myself.

Learn to adapt according to your own situation

The above are some humane questions and answers. We cannot just replace them with the saying that she/he is "busy" and cannot go. For older female applicants or those traveling alone. When the visa officer asks this question, it is best to answer according to the above. It is best to add that I have passed the visa and sign up for a tour group, because the visa officer considers whether you can travel freely in the United States alone.

At this time, the visa officer may ask questions:

1. Where are you going to the United States? (It is best to prepare your itinerary plan in advance)

2. Do you speak English? ?

3. (Free travel, and the answer is that you don’t know English) If you don’t know English, how can you ensure that you can travel freely in the United States? (You can answer with translation software)

4. Why Going alone?

5. Do you have sufficient funds to support independent travel?

38. How do you interact with the applicant?

40. When were you born?

Part of the reason for this situation is not only the mood of the visa officer, but also a lot of other reasons. The reason is that the visa officer uses these questions to judge the applicant's motivation and authenticity. Often when visa officers ask these questions, they will carefully observe the applicant's facial expressions and carefully analyze the real reason for your trip to the United States from the answers.

Therefore, I suggest that on the one hand, you should behave calmly (this is really important), on the other hand, you should think quickly and give reasonable answers. If the visa officer is not satisfied and continues to ask questions, you should Convert the problem from negative to positive.

The answers to the U.S. visa interview are very important. A poor answer to a question may lead to a visa rejection, so friends who are planning to go to the United States should pay attention!
