Interview skills of American tourist visa

When you apply for a visa to the United States, you still need to interview with the visa officer, so you can go to the United States, but it is easy to pass the interview, so the following small series will tell you what skills you will have when you go to the interview, for your reference.

As mentioned earlier, besides preparing relevant supporting materials, what else should I prepare before the interview? It is the preparation of communication skills during the interview! I will introduce interview skills in a separate space, which shows how important communication with visa officers is to get a US visa!

Usually, our real interview time is only 3-1 minutes. In this short time, it is particularly important to make full use of the information we carry, give full play to our talents and dispel the doubts of visa officers.

In the eyes of visa officers, every American visa applicant is inclined to emigrate. Unless the applicant can prove that he has no tendency to emigrate and has strong domestic binding force, there will be no long-term stay in the United States.

To sum up, I probably need to pay attention to the following eight aspects in the interview with visa officers:

① Dress: the dress should be reasonable and formal, matching with one's identity and travel purpose; Applicants who travel, visit relatives and friends suggest casual clothes; Business applicants suggest formal attire, and women can wear light makeup; Overall clean and generous;

② itinerary: the answer should be consistent with the DS-16 form, and we should actively inform the specific city attractions. For example, if we are traveling, we are going to leave on April 5 and return to China on April 15, and we plan to go to three cities: Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco.

③ Travel experience: from some developed countries in Europe and Australia, you can also take the initiative to show some travel photos of these countries to get extra points;

④ Work: Take the initiative to show your employment certificate, which is consistent with the information in the DS-16 form; Long working years and relatively stable work experience are more likely to dispel the doubts of visa officers; Engaged in sensitive industries such as IT, police, aerospace technology, Huawei technology, major research institutes, military academies, and secret-related units, visa officers may ask more questions, and it is recommended to prepare your resume and company profile in advance in case the visa officer asks for supplementary information;

⑤ assets: you may be asked whether you have a house or a car, just answer truthfully and show relevant certificates on your own initiative; Visa officers prefer to see a reasonable fixed income, which is the same as the above-mentioned stable work. For example, older or retired people have a relatively stable pension or income. As long as the purpose of travel is clear (going to the United States to see children or travel), the signing rate is relatively guaranteed; Remember not to temporarily deposit a large amount of money in the bank, and ask relatives and friends to borrow some temporarily. Anyone can collect a lot of money in a short time, so it can't prove to the visa officer that it is your asset;

⑥ Information: Usually we will bring more than N materials to the interview, but in fact most information visa officers will not read them. If the visa officer thinks that your communication is very smooth, that your reason for going to the United States is reasonable, and that there will be no stay, he will give you a visa without looking at any information you carry. Even so, I suggest that you bring all the documents you can prepare. When the visa feels it necessary to look at your information during the interview, it will be good for the visa to pass. If you can't get it, you may cry. It is necessary to remember never to provide false information and information. Once it is seen by the visa officer, it will be difficult for you to go to the United States in the future, and you may even be permanently refused a visa.

⑦ communication: when answering questions, enunciate clearly, confidently and naturally, and be generous and decent; If you don't hear the visa officer's question clearly, don't rush to answer it. You can politely ask the visa officer to repeat it. When multiple applicants interview in the same window, they can choose a main respondent to answer questions, and others should take the initiative to answer questions when asked, so don't rush to answer them at will; If you bring the relevant supporting materials to the questions asked by the visa officer, you can take the initiative to show the materials to the visa officer while answering the questions, which can increase the persuasiveness;

⑧ Family: When you get married, you may ask about love, marriage time and even how you met. A family of three may ask about their children's information; If you are going to the United States to see children or other relatives and friends, you must clearly understand each other's information. When the visa officer asks related questions, you should take the initiative to answer them and never hide them.

the preparation of communication skills before the interview plays a vital role in whether you can successfully get an American visa! If you still feel uncertain when you see this, I suggest you find a reliable travel agency, which can give you a lot of professional and useful advice.
