Getting U.S. Student Visa (F-1) will get you one step closer to attending college/university in United States. Every student have to go through the U.S. Visa interview process. F1 Visa interview tips in this article will help you understand the what Visa Officer (VO) expect from prospective students. Based on that you can prepare for the interview.
US F1 Visa Interview Basics
- Proper Documentation
- How you present yourself during the interview
- Way you answer the questions.
In this article I’m going to explain in detail about US visa interview process. Key to get visa stamping is to understand the process and prepare according to the process. Can you expect to get high marks in the exam without preparation? Same case applies to visa interview.
U.S. F1 Visa Interview Process
Visa interview officers are well trained to identify good from bad students. If you are well prepared with answers for F1 Visa Interview Questions, then you can get through the interview with ease. VO are trained to find
- Who you are?
- Do you have academic capability to complete the studies in U.S.
- Do you have enough financial resources to cover the cost of education in U.S.
You could have done mistakes in documents, or have fake documents related to finance, degree certificates, property documents, … VO job is to make a decision about the you in few minutes.
You might have all the right credentials, but F1 Visa could be denied and someone with fake documents might get F1 Visa stamping. It all depends on tat few minutes on how you present yourself. Now, lets assume you are in the queue waiting to be called for the interview.
Inside Visa Interview
- When you walk to the interview window, have a big smile and wish them. You could say Hi, Hello, Good Morning, Good Evening.
- Eye Contact is MUST. From the moment you walk-in towards the window, look deep into their eyes and smile and wish them “Hello”.
- If you don’t make good eye contact, then you are reducing your chances to get F1 Visa. Now, you made good eye contact, then its about how to present your answers.
- Next big thing – Don’t Lie for the questions asked.
- If you lie and if they identify that you are lying are gave contradicting answers, then your entry into U.S.A is will be tough.
- Some have mastered the art lying. If you belong to that category, don’t mess it up (again that’s not recommend)
- If you are not sure and not comfortable to make up an answer, then DON’T LIE
- Now, you will be convinced and made a decision, not to lie. Then VO asks this question “What’s your plan after Graduation?”
Majority of student will say answers like this..
+ “My field is growing in India, I will good job opportunities, when I come back”
+ “I will work for 1 year in OPT period, gain the experience and come back”
- Do you really think answers like I will return back to India will suffice them? They know how many student go to U.S. every year, how many return back.
- VO know, why would you have to spend $40,000 for 2 years and come back to India get Rs40,000 per month. They know for sure students returning back to home country is very less. It will be very few percentage of students return.
- So, for such question speak the trust “After Graduation, I will party hard, and then will look to spend my OPT period working for US company” that’s simple and straight forward answer. Other way is to say, I plan to work for few years, get U.S. corporate life experience and then plan to come back.
- I know the above answer is much different from what you have on your list. But, the above answer should work.
- Next, for the question related to finance documents, make sure you know the source of each funds in the bank statement. VO will ask about transactions, only if they feel something might be wrong in the finance documents.
In general, it will be like
+ Who is your sponsor?
+ What does sponsor do?
+ How much is his/her income?
- Make sure you have bank statement for student visa with you. Also don’t forget to read F1 Visa Interview Tips [15 Rock solid tips].
In coming posts, I will write about bank documents tailored for Student F1 Visa, how much bank balance to show, how to create a fund flow chart for student visa interview. Few of my friends have got F1 student visa after getting rejected for 3-4 times. Some students prefer to use the same bank statement that was used for college admission. Those statements used for college admission will be old and probably funds showed during college admission will be less. For student visa, you would need to show more bank balance.

dude did you get your visa
No man, the date available for me is 27th and last date on my I20 is 23rd. I lost the chance. I’ve requested the university to defer my admission.
Yes my friends there’s always hope. I my self I was denied the F-1 visa four times because of bank statement my last interview was on 29th July this year, but I am planning to re-apply and I am also suppose to report to school on 23nd of August this year, therefore my friend Patil don’t give up. Persistence overcome resistance and to be honest with you I wish you all the best.
Dont worry patil, every thing will get fine. Apply again and be confident this time considering the fact that you have reached at this point and will transcend this barrier too with flying colors.
GOT F1 VISA for 4 years, IN 3RD ATTEMPT, 3rd time they gave me 221g letter, after one month finally i got the visa.
the main point was, i focussed on what wrong i did in my first 2 attempts and corrected it. the interviewer told me, if u would have done this in first attempt, i wud have given u visa that time only.
thanks for all the support.
cheers,

You have to recollect all the questions that were asked and identify the reason why your visa was rejected. Next time make sure you have right answers.
Hallow my name is Ignatius Kweyu from Nairobi,Kenya; I got admitted to a U.S college last year. The person who was suppose to sponsor me, he really got me into a lot of trouble, see he was suppose to have been married to my sister but they broke up, so he knowingly gave me a fake bank statement and my visa was rejected.
I have returned to the consulate twice but still to no avail. Now I have paid some school fee down payment and I have a genuine bank statement from my Uncle.
On my last interview the Visa Office (VO) asked me to make some changes. Now I have paid part of my school fees and I am also doing a Diploma in computer programming, I take these as the changes that the VO would want to see.
I’m dew to get an updated I-20 and my interview is on June 29th 2010.
Please I really need your advice.
Thank you and God bless you all.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely Ignatius

Hi All,
I am going to share one of the reasons behind visa rejection. We usually depend on consultancy from beginning to the end of visa processing assuming those people will be doing all the work and we just need to submit the required documents. But what they do is just grab some money and finally they make us to do the whole and there are few who dont even to guide. My friend got good scores,perfect financial documents but no sevis receipt which is the most important one to attend visa interview. All because he blindly believed on the consultancy people and attended visa interview and the VO as helpless as she cannot process further without sevis receipt and just rejected. So please before you attend the interview make it sure you have minimum required documents like sevis receipt and dont uneccessarily feed the consultany paying thousands even after doing the whole work by ourselves. I even want to mention the consultancy name as it is famous for visa processing but at the same time those people are most careless that they dint even cared to let the visa applicant know the crucial part Sevis fee and that is Jeevas,Hyderabad.
Hi,
I got admit in MS in Environmental Engg at Penn State for Fall 2010. I have completed my M.Tech. in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering and for the past 1 year had been working as a Junior Research Fellow in microbial fuel cell, an interdisciplinary research topic. I wanted to pursue PhD on this field, hence applied only to those univs where work was carried on (for some other constraints I could apply to only to 3 univs in all). I got acceptance from Penn State for MS (they had a few subject requirements for PhD which I hadn’t done, I guess that is the reason they offered me MS, maybe also because of the change in field of study) but without funding. I plan to go there, pursue MS, try for funding as well (my father has money for the first year, and can arrange for 2nd year as well, but definitely would prefer some funding in the univ), and then apply through the internal exams for PhD, else apply to some other univ (US or Europe) for PhD.
Do I tell the VO that I intend to pursue PhD after this, and if possible in the same univ? Will keeping the intended duration of stay in the DS160 form same as the course duration (24 months) pose a problem in this regard? If I tell him that I intend to pursue PhD, how do I convince him that I’ll come back to my country (since most pursue at least a couple of Post-Doc tenures in the US itself after PhD)?
I had same question as yours but my field is different. I completed my M. Pharm 1 year back and I wish to pursue PhD but I got admission in MS programme. How can I present myself to them? Should I tell about my planning to do PhD?
Please guide me, if you have some guidance.
Thank you.
hy buddy s did got visa ? what did they asked to u ? i have the same condition ?
Hey, the visa interview was crazy … 5 mins 6 questions , why US, course drtion, who’s funding, what’s salary, parents n siblings staying in india, how many siblings (none) …. n i got the visa…
guess it helped to be very excited about the field i was going to work on/had been working on (do tell about some prof n his field of work there … maybe keep info on some other profs in other univs you applied working on the same field)… + good univ (both IIT n Penn state) helped …
all the best to all
Varun & Jeelan:
VO is not going to ask you about your backlogs untill he sees something inappropriate in your application. If you will answer questions with confidence and with proper information he will not even ask you for your backlogs. I have a low score on GMAT Verbal, GMAT AWA and TOEFL. He didn’t ask me about any of three. Review your DS-160 and if you find any wrong information in DS-160 then fill new DS-160 and bring the new Confirmation page at the time of interview. You don’t need to cancel your appointment for this. Try to find the logical and statistical answers of these questions:

I forgot to include one question that VO asked me.
VO: What is location of your school?
I: Its in westchester but it has two more campuses in New York city & Pleasantville though Pleasantville is not for graduates.
Hi everybody, My US F-1 Visa was approved just two hours back by US VO. This website helped me a lot to conquer the Visa interview despite of a low TOEFL score which is 81. Well, here is the interview experience:
I was waiting in queue for my turn and VO called me to move forward.
I: Good Afternoon Sir
VO: Good afternoon Mr. Deepak
VO: which course did you apply for?
I: MBA in financial Management
VO: Which college/university?
I: Pace University Lubin School of Business
VO: Why only Pace? Why not any other university?
I: Pace university Lubin school of business is well renowned for it MBA program in finance. It has real time trading floor and provides you real experience rather than just theoretical knowledge. There are only few Business Schools ahead of Lubin School when it comes to MBA in finance. Business School ahead of Lubin School in MBA Finance ranking are Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, NY Stern, Rochester Simon ……..
VO interrupted me and said “Ok”
VO: What do your parents do?
I: My father is a Haryana Govt. employee and mother is a housewife.
VO: Where are you from?
I : Haryana
VO started looking into my file on computer and I asked him for a query.
I: Sir, I have one to say something. Can I?
VO: yes, sure
I: Actually, I forgot to mention some important information in my DS-160 so I filled a new DS-160 form which you have with you.
VO: thats ok, no problem. Your Visa is approved.
Its pretty easy if you prepare in advance guys. Even if you have low scores or your duration of course on I-20 is more than the normal program length, it’ll not hurt your chances of getting visa. Only thing is that you should know how to justify your low scores. One more thing, VO takes a great concentration on your information that you have provided into DS-160. Fill your DS-160 with great care. Some guys complain that VOs are dumb and they reject visas without any reason. Well, VOs are well trained and have wast experience. Just by looking at your DS-160 they can tell about you.
Here is one example:
In DS-160 one question is “How long do you intend to stay in US?”
You answered “36 months” in DS-160.
If your course duration as mentioned on I-20 is 24 months.
Now during Interview VO will ask the same question in different style. Question might be like this “Will you come back to India as soon as you complete your course?”
Most of us will say “yes for sure”
But guys what about the answer which you have provided in DS-160. (It was 36 months)
VO is not dumb. He has your whole profile in front of him during interview and he is looking at the same thing at that time. The moment you said, “yes for sure”. He will say only these words’ “Sorry, we can’t give you a visa” because you’re lying. In DS-160 you’re saying you’ll stay for 36 months and now during interview you’re saying that you will come back after 24 months.
So fill all forms very carefully and answer question in DS-160 after thinking 10 times. Even if you’re planning to go to US one month before your course commencement date then include it in your intended length of stay.
I hope this information will help you.
Best of luck
Hi Deepak, you are right about the above comments. I have this question that have been popping in my mind for a while now:
If the i-20 you are having is a two year i-20, what should you indicate as the amount of years you’ll spend in the US? Should it be two years? Or four years?
The reason why i indicated 4 years is; some people go in for ASSOCIATES DEGREE I-20, then after completion of the ASSOCIATES, they go in for their BACHELORS DEGREE.
Please review my question and answer me as soon as possible.
If not Deepak, then anybody that knows, can give an answer.

I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR EVERYONE WHOS BEEN REJECTED FOR F-1 STUDENT VISA. I WAS REJECTED TOO.. A MONTH AGO. THE PROCESS OF GRANTING A VISA IS REALLY INJUSTICE. ITS REALLY DISAPPOINTING TO SEE SOME ONE GET A VISA WHOS LIKE LESS DESERVING THAN U.
I’D LIKE TO SHARE MY XPERIENCE WID U GUYS:
First they ask me about how i chose X university. I gave the answer-”i came thro’ this univ on the internet.. n this univ offers rewarding curriculum n she stopped me n said, “don’t give me a recited answer. evry colge offers exciting n rewarding curriculum jus gv me n honest answer” as i was about to giv my honest answer she interrupted me n changed the topic to my income sources. I gave her the answers. then came the topic bout my sibling. my siter whos been studying in us for almost 6 yrs.. c told me that shes been in us for 6 yrs n shes not even graduated also found out that she dropped off to a community colge for some yrs ( almost evry single nepalese does that.. many of them cant aford the univ they slect for f-1 visa as freshmen) ..So, she concluded talkig bout ma sisters n said ma parents cudn’t affod meaning to say i’ll follow the foot steps my sister. but actually my sister shes studying in a gud school right now with awful lot of scholarship..n o think applying second times not worth it..
please comment on my story…
hello sir, i wanted to ask if v.os reject students going to schools ranked on the top 20 of the us according to us news?i got accepted to williams with full financil aid! do i really need to stress on this interview thing? thank you very much! p.s i just graduated from highschool
hello sir,
i am going for the visa interview on 14th june.
actully iwas rejected thrice and i wasnt given any speacific reason but i think i was rejected because because me and my husband had applied toghether. i mean i had applied for f1 and he had applied for f2.i think i was rejected because we both had applied toghether so this time i m goin alone.so can you please help me out if they ask y u want to go alone now…????
I dont think there is anything wrong in going with your husband but you will have to show funds which could support him to. In fact in our I20, they do ask if there are any dependednts who will accompany you..If you mention yes, sufficient funds must be shown
I am a one time student who studied, lived and worked in the US.
Could you please share the details of your case and what all transpired. All the details. I might be able to give you advice.

Can you please guide me the correct line of action…i hold a decent financial record and im the only daughter of my mother who works as a manager in a firm.My father isnt alive.
My questions are:
Can i convince the VO that i cannot be a potential immigrant since i have my mother here and i m very attached to heror should a prepare a more refined answer?
Also my mom gave one of our inheritance to my aunt n she gave me foreign currency in return.Will this effect my case?

hello sathya… i got visa refusal on 2nd august. It was my fault. VO asked about my present work. I was nervous, I said ” I am working in Accounting Solutions as an Accountant. I am working as an Accounts Manager there”. This was my mistake. Actually i am working as an accounts manager, but by mistake i said accountant earlier. I dont know exactly, but this could be the reason for rejection. PLEASE TELL ME THAT, THEY WILL NOT PERMANENTLY MAKE ME INELIGIBLE FOR INTERVIEW due to this contradictory statement.

hi,
my visa application got rejected early this month and the VO indirectly said he thinks i may be a potential immigrant, which is probably because of some questions that i answered too vaguely. I know how to answer those questions now. But on my second appointment another VO said that my financial statement states the exact amount of money that my college tuition is (including housing), which is not enough. this statement also contradicted the words of the first VO who said that my financial documents seem fine and i can obviously afford to go to University.
I asked the second VO how much more money she thinks i should have in the bank, or what if I stay at my relative’s house instead of living on campus, but she didn’t give me a straight answer.
will it help If I show the VO an e-mail from my University that states that i am permitted to live off campus?
also, what is the best way of convincing them that i’m only going there for studying and will get back home as soon as i get my degree?
Hi I am Ajay,
I have got admits in 4 universities for M S in CS and I am now preparing for VISA. Now, that I have already completed Master’s(M.Tech in CS) in India will it cause problem during VISA interview process?
What answers should I provide them to convince that I am interested in doing masters in particular stream and I am interested to go for research.
Will they ask why I want to do second master’s in USA or will they straight away reject me for applying for a second master’s?
Help needed.
Expecting the reply.

Dear sir, I had an interview in US embassy in Armenia for once. Then the interviewer asked me after your return how much will be your salary, and i said that according to my information there are jobs available for 1000 dollar in a month. Then she said “you want me to believe that you spent more than 40000 dollars for your study in US and will return for that” then i said “How much do you think i spend on my last university which is the American university of Armenia”. Anyway she told me to wait and after a while they called my name and she said there are some documents required that is why we will interview you again. The documents were financial support, affidavit of support, etc.. and fathers job salary, and she also added that i need to give her a better answer next time if i want to get my visa other wise they will deny it. Anyway i think i did give the best answer but is there anything i need to add, and what is the second interview, will it work or there is no hop. Please if there is anything i can do let me know.
I am shocked that they reacted this way.. this is very unprofessional to say “Give better answer next time or you will be denied.”

Getting education is good and getting education where you desire is best!
Hi Everyone,
This is Mujtaba Ahmed from Andhra Pradesh. I am applying for F1 visa late this month(November 2009) for University of North Alabama for MBA program(Spring Intake). I would like to ask few questions, if any one can give me their valuable suggestions,feedbacks and their recommendations(advices) that would be very grateful.
1. My University orientation program starts on 02 January 2010. I am taking “Emergency appointment”. As right now, no dates available here in Hyderabad. Is it going to be an issue in the consulate? What should be the appropriate answer to this question if it is asked by VO.
2. I have already paid the SEVIS fee on the same university(UNA), but I got another I-20 from different university and I would like to go that second university, are there any need to change SEVIS fee payment order or any other suggestions.
3. I have a low score in TOEFL(below than ‘Cut off’) and I didnt write GMAT and I have 15 years education background. Does any one have questionaires regarding the situation.
Encourage me, and I may not forget you.
“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks”.

Hello,
My interview is in 10 days. My sponsor is in US, and she is a very close family friend. She is like my aunt and she is sponsoring me. I got rejected last time, and my dad was sponsoring me at that time. My dad opposes my decision to go to US this time, and thus, he is not sponsoring me. Can I tell it during my interview that because my dad does not support my decision to go to US, he is not sponsoring?
Hi,for me I think u can have many sponsors!
Hi there! can someone please help me up if what should my aunt will do because she wanted to sponsor my little brother to study in the USA perhaps in a 7th or 8th grade level since he is now a 13 years of age. My question would be is my brother will be under the so called F1 Visa?What would be the requirements for sponsoring body?Thanks for the help and best regards.

SUKHJIT ,
you need to say why your visa was refused. The officers normally look up at 3 things- your financial support, your interest towards that university/course and what is your background, that creates the need for study abroad rather than your home country.

Please i will be going for my first interview to seek the F1 visa please give me guidelines before i get there.
Sir, please come online. We want to talk to you regsrding our doubts. Please help us.
hello Gurpreet, I am rejected F1 visa first time. I was also not told properly about the reason of denial. I was in need of rejection letter as I had to get refund of advance fees paid to homestay agency in US. I went to the VFS office for US. They advised me to send request to the embassy for the visa rejection letter. I send them alot of emails. So many emails, I was just very irritated. At last they replied me with visa rejection letter in email. In that letter, it is clrearly mentioned that WHY VISA IS REJECTED. I suggest you to do same. Request them about the visa rejection letter. When they will send you the letter, it will be mentioned about the reason of denial. Then work on that and apply again. Without working on that lacking portion it is immpossible to get visa, no matter how many times you apply. I wish you good luck.
(Response in this blog if you want.)
HI

Thanks a lot
Hello Raghu Sir
,
Last month, I applied for F-1 visa for US. Unfortunatly, I got rejected. I have decided to reapply. My relatives had sponsered me. I plan to apply after 5 months. I have a querry that “Will I have to make the support affadavits again with new date?”
For how long the affadavit for US embassy can be valid. No information has changed, everything is same. Same college, same country and same amount of money.
Your websites have helped me alot, you are really doing a humantarian job. People waste alot of money to agents. But I just followed the guidelines on your website.
Though I was rejected the visa but it was just because of a foolish mistake. Anyhow, please reply to my querry.
Yours friend,
Varun Kumar
what was the mistake?coz I plan to apply too. maybe that can help.

sir i want to get my visa…
plz give me a advise……………
raghu Sir, Please tell me that do US consular have any criteria for viewing any application. I had all genuine documents but they did’nt even looked at them. They just saw my I-20 and asked me that why I want to go US. They inquired about my family. But they rejected my visa just on the basis that they are not convinced that whether I will return to my homecountry. I cant understand that I have alot of property in India. Then why will I try to live in US for any fake reason. I want to earn education and work as employee after my study. I have never planned to settle permanently in US. Just my wish is to live in US as long as I work there. I didnt like their culture then why will I settle in US. How can I convince them that I will not remain in US ilegally.
why didnt you say that?? it is absolutely what you should have said!!!
after 6days I have an interview for student visa so sir plz give me some questions with answers which are commony asked.
My father has been in the antique business for a long time.But my elder brother has helped running the business for priti long now.Well my borther has already married.We have a business account showing about 15 lakhs plus my borthers own savings account.My father doesnot have any bank account because he is illiterate.So basically my brother has all the bank account in his name.Well as my father and my brother have differnt houses.But we are living togther right now.Plese could you suggest.
I am applying for student visa for the spring session.I would like to know if there is any chances that i will be rejected if i do not show my brother who is already in the united states.
I am applying for the spring session and i am very worried about my chances for getting a visa if i don’t mention my brother who is in the united states.i would like to know if this wil have any effect on my visa.
I have got admissions into an associate degree program at a community college. Honestly, I choose the community college bcuz it meets my needs. I feel comfortable at a community college as I want me to first improve my basics. After completing the study at the college then i will transfer to university.
I want to know a question – ” I have enough money for my college study which is for 2 yrs…….after college I will transfered to a university. WILL THE EMBASSY ASK ME TO SHOW MONEY FOR UNIVERSITY STUDY ALSO., THE UNIVERSITY STUDY WILL START AFTER 2 YEARS.
Will I have to just show money for my college or will I have to show money for the university too?
@Varun: You will have to have enough money to show proof for your educational expense in U.S. you will need to get affidavit from all the relatives who are sponsoring you.
My other doubt is that “Can we have student loan for first year”?
Hi, I am Varun from Punjab. I have my interview at US consulate in the near future. My parents and my relatives are sponsering me for study. I have a doubt that how the embassy will come to know that my sponser is my relative. The relative who is sponsering me is of other relegion. Thats why I am little bit doubtful that- “Am I required to present the proof of relationship with the sponser?”
What kind of proof it can be?
Please tell me?

hi,
you can all agree with brian.let me tell you about myself. i got my visa on 21st july. my interview went on for about 2mins max.90% of visa interview is all about your confidence, communication skills and how well you are serious about your graduate study.
hi,
mrinalini first of all whats your gre score and when did u take the same. the officer will not issue visa only if u have no valid reason as for why u got a low score.
Hi,
I got my visa rejected on 23 July 2008. I am planning to apply again..The visa was rejected because the visa officer told that my GRE score is less.Is this a wise decision to apply again for visa? Any one help me out in this regard
Hello Sir/Madam.
You have given so many impotatnt tips. I am rejected for F1 visa for USA and now I apply again.

Can any tell me please what shoul I say if again they ask the same question. Reply me at bobrocks4u@yahoo.com
You guys really need to learn to communicate better. Man, the moment you open your mouth, the VO will know that you are a potential immigrant. Trust me.
I had my visa interview for 20 seconds, and it was first time. I got my visa and I am attending college in August. Guys, its all about communication. You fail in that, you fail in everything.
hi, my US F1 visa interview is on 21st at chennai. now sources of income are-
1. my bank balance of 6lakhs
2. my moms bank balance of 5 lakhs
the above are readily avalibale funds also i have 15 lakhs loan from bank, the above mentioned bank balance is enough for first year study, do i have to provide embassy the evidence frm where did i get that money, as the balance in my account are mainly form the gift money provided from my relatives and moms balance from her father, through agricultural income.
i got rejected ones ,i am going to face again on 16 th july,i have changed my university,
can u give proper guidance.
why u have changed university..?
what should i tell for that question…?
can u send the answer urgently..
i am goin to face vo with in four days…
Why do you want to pursue MS In US?
Why did you select the specific univ?
How will this specific course help you in your future development/realization of your professional career?
Why do you want to go to US and not continue higher edu in India?
Can you please suggest me some answers on these question.

Hi,
hear i put my situation clearly , i got rejected 3rice because of my Gre score that is 720 ,for the first time wen i took my gre i got passport with out my Surname in it but VO dint observed that ,but 3rd time she dint even luk at my scores ask me to go and i know thats my fault and but it saved me bc at that time i took gre twice on other passport with my surname in it so my scores came on other sheet with out including first score that is 960 i know that too is bad score but VO dint check on that luckily. All i wanna do right now is take my GRE 1 more time with just including my old score of 720 by showing up my old pass port with out my surname ….sorry its kinda tangled situation but i need lil help coz i tried hard enough to get job on my b.tech acads but i cud make it only in BPO’s and CC’s and i want to do masters to make it better and 1 more thing can i show the VO that i was doin business for past 11 months bc thats wat i was doin . thank u

@ Sri
AS I have said in all my articles, don’t lie in your Visa application. I would say the truth and decrease my Visa chances, rather hiding the truth and getting banned to enter U.S. for life. If they find you have 2 siblings. It’s very easy for them to track all your siblings. What if your bro/sis doing M.S. had mentioned that sibling is in U.S. and you didn’t?
hi….
Your previous reply for my doubt really helped me.First i would like to say thanks for that,well,I have an another question.I have two siblings.One of them is working in US and the other one is doing his master’s in US. Here, my doubt is, in filling the visa application form (DS-156&157) they asked me to mention about my siblings,if any are there.People are saying that if you mention both of your siblings are putting up in US,the VO might consider you as a potential immigrant and your chances of getting visa might be less.So,I thought of mentioning only about my sibling who is doing his MS.Can you let me know what should I mention in application form and what should I reply if a question of that sort is asked to me by the VO.Thanks for your time in advance.
@ rekha,
you can try showing more bank balance and assets and if you are only child, you can say that too. Good luck.
