Surviving the US Visa Interview Stage

The four keys required for a successful interview includes:

Confidence:  Don’t be intimidated by anybody. As long as you have used genuine documents and have valid reasons acceptable by the law for you to travel, then you should not be intimidated by any officer interviewing you.

At the interview, look into the eyes of your interviewer with confidence, but do not get into a staring contest. Don’t be shifty, if you are not comfortable looking into the eyes of the officer interviewing you, then rest your eyes on their lips, forehead or slightly above the nose. Whatever you do, be confident with your answers.

Honesty: Friend, no matter how confident you are, if you are submitting fake documents,  that will reduce your level of confidence which will be apparent to the officer interviewing you. Be honest with your papers. It is better to explain why you do not have a certain document than for you to submit fake papers.

Honest and genuine documents boost your confidence level and you can question officers who decide to treat your applications without regards to the laid down application rules.

Knowledge: Know your facts. You know why you are traveling, you have completed the application form, so do not be afraid of giving the answers when you are asked.

Be Organized: This is the pitfall of some applicants. You need to organize your documents in a format that enables a conversation flow. Arrange your supporting documents in an understandable format with stick-on notes to label items that you want officers to pick out immediately. Put your documents in a neat file jacket so that when you are being interviewed you can pull them out neatly to support your answers.  This leaves officers with the impression that you know what you are doing, which in turn helps with your visa application assessment.
