f-1 visa interview checklist for international students

Here is my F-1 visa interview checklist. All of the information in this f-1 visa interview checklist is taken from real life interviews and testimonials from international students who were approved, and some denied because they were not prepared, for their student visa. This f-1 visa interview checklist will help you prepare for the most important interview of your life. Before your interview you must prepare for a variety of questions  from a consular official, in English, while you are visiting the consulate in your home country. To learn more about scheduling your interview, or the documents you will need, and what to say and not say, you can find all that in this blog.What About Documentation?Along with this F-1 visa interview checklist, you can find an additional list of the required documentation for your interview here. It includes a list of documentation for F-1 student visa interview because students from all over the globe write to me here and ask me many questions about how to prepare and pass the F-1 Student Visa interview at the Consulate. They know they have to pass this face to face interview, in English, with a Consular Officer before they can leave their homeland and travel to the USA to begin attending classes in the USA.You can get this F-1 visa interview checklist, and three other checklists and over 50 pages of bonus materials when you order my eBook today. I’ve just reduced the price for the Spring Semester of college – only $9.99 now!! That’s less than two cups of coffee at Starbuck’s here in the USA!Don’t forget to Sign I-20 before going to consulate and use it to verify the total cost of your education in the U.S.Do mock interviews and go over all the questions in this book at least two times speaking your answers out loud to a friend/family member.Be relaxed, slow down, and speak clearly in a friendly tone.Listen to the entire question before you answer.Avoid having the Consular Officer repeat the question if possible.Do not give more information than is needed to answer the question being asked by the Consular Officer.Answer only the question asked of you – don’t talk too much because you are nervous.Do not provide an answer that is not supported with paperwork or is different than your original application information.Do not provide answers that are not supported with your financial paperwork.Know why you will be departing the U.S. when you are finished and what you will be doing when you get back.Dress appropriately, be relaxed and confident.Show enthusiasm and optimism throughout the interview.It is okay if you do not know the answer to a question. Admit that you don’t know – do not try to lie or confuse the Consular Officer.Be sure and let the Consular Officer know if you are getting any education loans to help pay for your school.If you are nervous, do your best to hide it and remember to slow down and think about what you are saying.Do not be aggressive in any way.Do not be tempted or prodded into losing your temper and do not become frustrated regardless of how the Consular Officer is acting.Do not begin answering the question before you have heard the entire question.Try to answer the question with as much information as possible to please your Consular Officer.Be friendly, calm, and confident and be happy you will soon be studying in the U.S.For more information and details on how to prepare and study for your F-1 Student Visa Interview, including an F-1 visa interview checklist and others, keep reading this blog regularly and you can write me here at [email protected] with any questions you may have about this process.And remember, when you’re prepared and ready, you won’t need luck.Go USA!- MikeAll information presented here is from my personal research and my attempts to save you time and money when pursuing your dream of coming to the USA to study.
