what are common questions asked in getting US VISA?

Question

plz answer asap...thnx

Answer 1

In my case, I was just asked how long I was staying. I said I was attending a 2-day meeting and I was leaving as soon as the meeting was over, because I prefer to be home. That was all, and they gave me my visa right away. That was over 20 years ago, though.

Answer 2

aside from what everyone else has written down, consuls also rely on their gut -- so if they feel that you don't have any plans of going back home, then they will deny your visa no matter what. so just make sure that when you answer their questions, be confident and show proof that you have something/someone to go back to

also, just an FYI: the visa fee has risen from $100 to $131 (actually effective jan 1st. however even if you've gotten your application fee for $100 but you're scheduled for next year, you would be asked to pay for the $31 difference)

good luck!

Answer 3

The first thing that one needs to set before even attempting to go to the States is to have a purpose for going there in the first place. That purpose has to be extremely clear at the outset and should answer these four basic questions:

1. What are you going to do in the US?

2. How long will you be staying there?

3. Who is paying for your expenses? And most importantly,

4. When are you coming back?

Answer 4

honey you did not state if you're getting a non-immigrant or immigrant visa. below you will find pointers and links to mock interviews

To qualify for a visitor or student visa, applicants must meet the requirements of sections 101(a)(15)(B) or (F) of the INA respectively. Both sections, as do most nonimmigrant visas, require that the applicant proves that they have ‘nonimmigrant intent,’ i.e., that they will leave the U.S. at the end of their authorized stay. Failure to prove their non-immigrant intent will result in a refusal of a visa under Section 214(b). The most frequent basis for such a refusal concerns the requirement that the prospective visitor or student possess a residence abroad he/she has no intention of abandoning. Applicants prove the existence of such ‘residence’ by demonstrating that they have ties abroad that would compel them to leave the U.S. at the end of the temporary stay. The law places this burden of proof on the applicant.

Consular officers have a difficult job. They must decide in a very short time if someone is qualified to receive a temporary visa. Most cases are decided after a brief interview and quick review of whatever evidence of ties the applicant presents.

What constitutes ‘Strong Ties’?

‘Ties’ are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country of residence: your possessions, employment, social and family relationships. Strong ties differ from country to country, city to city, individual to individual. Some examples of ties can be a job, a house, a family, a bank account.

Each person’s situation is different and consular officers are aware of this diversity. During the visa interview they look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors. In cases of younger applicants who may not have had an opportunity to form many ties, consular officers may look at the applicant’s specific intentions, family situations, and long-range plans and prospects within his or her country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is accorded every consideration under the law.
