F-1 VISA INTERVIEW PREPARATION
 |
An important step in the process of applying for an F-1 Visa (for study in the U.S.) is a personal interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate. The interview may last only a few minutes, but it can determine whether your F-1 Visa is granted or denied.
The main purpose of the F-1 Visa interview is for you to prove to the consular officials that you will return to your home country after finishing your academic program. You can reassure the consular officials that you will return to your home country by talking about the things that tie you to your home: family, property, and employment.

Below are some tips for your interview:
- Bring a "statement of purpose" to the interview, explaining why you want to go to this particular school and what you hope to do with the knowledge later, in your home country.
- Be ready to give an example of how you will use the degree you earn from a U.S. institution in your home country. (For example: join a consulting company after receiving your business degree). Your plans should be realistic.
- Have a job offer in writing from an employer in your home country, promising you a solid position within the company after your studies are over.
- Show proof of property ownership or other ties to your home country.
- Research the job market and be ready to discuss how you will find a job in your field in your home country. Remember, the consular employees live in your home country so will probably know about the job market as well.
- Practice, practice, practice. Prepare for difficult questions by rehearsing the interview with your friends or family.
- Do not be distressed by a consular official who appears rude or tough. Keep your composure and respond as calmly as possible.
Financial Support
At the interview, the consular officer will ask questions about your ability to pay for your education without seeking employment in the U.S. Bank loans are NOT good evidence of financial support. Consular officials know that people with loans are more likely to seek employment in the U.S. in order to repay loans. If you do not have strong financial support, you may want to pay tuition to the school in advance and present the receipt to the consular official.
