Answer 1

1) Your friend will likely be asked the usual questions:

- Why do you want to study in the United States?

- Why have you chosen this course/program to study?

- Why have you chosen this University to study at?

- How long do you plan to stay?

- How will you support yourself?

- What research have to done?

- What will do you once you complete your course of studies?

- What benefits do you believe there are to studying in the U.S. instead of your home country?

There will be a few more, but they are the most common.

2) Answer the questions truthfully, you have nothing to gain by lieing and if you are caught in a lie then visa application will be denied.

Dress well, speak clearly, look the interview in the eye and answer all questions specifically. Be prepared - have all the required documents at hand, neat and grouped according to their purpose so that they can be accessed quickly during the interview.

Be concise. You will only have a limited amount of time to make your case. You may only have 7 or 8 minutes with the officer, so first impressions are crucial. Keep your answers short and to the point, do not waste time on insignificant details or stories. Show a positive attitude and do not argue with the official.

3) To show you have every intention to return home upon completion, you can prove this in three ways:

Financial Ties:

- Investments

- Family owned business

- Ownership of residence in home country (deed or lease)

Employment  or employment opportunities:

- Employment confirmation letter

- Offers of employment upon return once studies are completed.

Family Ties:

- Immediate family in home country.

- Leaving spouse and/or children

- Fiance in home country
