9 Common USA F1 Visa Interview Misconceptions

[@osiumeh6261]

You forgot to mention that applicants MUST not lie. That is the easiest way to get rejected. The interviewer can read body language and can easily tell when you are lying. Be honest and make sure that you look the interviewer straight in the eye, maintain eye contact always. If an applicant does not know an answer to a question, say so and do not try to make things up. Good luck.

[@AmaraOsuji]

You’re right. Thanks for chipping in.

Hi Amara, I got my visa approved yesterday. Your videos were helpful!

[@OgunsusiDamilare-fq5lz]

Congratulation! Please share your experience What are the questions ask? and how are you able to answer them?

[@studioclayafrica2023]

@@OgunsusiDamilare-fq5lz I was asked 3 quick questions about my major, my sponsor, and my scholarship in less than 2 mins. I recommend giving full answers that capture the attention of the VO and give context to yourself. For example; my first question about the major. I answered by mentioning the major and my desired specialization. I also mentioned that I have an undergrad degree in Architecture and I'm looking forward to getting my advanced degree in Landscape Architecture. I saw the smile on the VO's face. Good luck!

[@AmaraOsuji]

I'm so happy to hear this. Congratulations!!!🎉

[@MadubuezeChiomaWinifred-op5so]

Please what do u mean by 'Major'

[@AmaraOsuji]

@@MadubuezeChiomaWinifred-op5so this means your general course of study for example Chemical Engineering, English, Biology etc. In most cases, these majors have different areas of specialization so different people in the same major might have different concentrations.

how Can us answer this *Why should We Give You a VISA?* for f1 visa ?

[@Chamastudyabroad]

Hello Amara, am chama from Gambia. I got GA scholarship and loan from Mpower financing to exhaust the deficit. How can I answer the question of funding when asked?

[@AmaraOsuji]

Hi. You should say things exactly as they are. Say you have partial funding from a graduate assistantship and the deficit will be covered by an Mpower loan. Ensure to go with all documents associated with the loan such as an acknowledgment slip, loan repayment plan etc. Also prepare to answer questions about how you plan to repay the loan. Good luck.

[@abosedeadeosun3624]

I went for my interview yesterday but my visa was denied in Abuja,she is asked me like 10 questions

[@AmaraOsuji]

Oh no. I'm sorry to hear this. Please take heart and try again. Don't give up.

[@Ceejaynews]

Hello Amara please where am I to sign on the i20 form

[@AmaraOsuji]

You should sign in the last box on the first page, the part that reads ‘student attestation’

[@theopeaye]

can you use your recent I-20 to reapply for your visa interview if you have just recently been denied and your start term is still in August

[@AmaraOsuji]

Yes. You can use the same I-20 to reapply if you haven’t changed anything about your application/situation.

[@heissantus]

Please help me on proving home ties

[@AmaraOsuji]

For this, you just need to emphasize that you will be returning to your home country after your studies. That's the primary way to show home ties.

[@Bibi_Aderemi]

Informative content amara, please I stated my husband as a dependent, however he’s also sponsoring my education and living expenses. Please is it possible for the same person to be a dependent and a sponsor at the same time?

[@AmaraOsuji]

Hi. This is a tricky situation. I feel like this situation might raise questions because if he’s listed as your dependent then I assume he’ll also try to get an F2 visa. There might then be the issue of the visa officer wondering how he’ll be able to support your studies.

[@Bibi_Aderemi]

Yes but he won’t be traveling with me, he would apply after a few months. It’s advisable to look for another sponsor right? And deficit is 26k

[@MadubuezeChiomaWinifred-op5so]

Please can u make a video of family visa interview

[@AmaraOsuji]

Family visa interview? For F1 or a different visa type?

[@MadubuezeChiomaWinifred-op5so]

Is family visa interview

[@AmaraOsuji]

@@MadubuezeChiomaWinifred-op5so but for what visa class? F1/F2/B1/B2/J1? ‘Family visa’ is not a visa type.

[@MadubuezeChiomaWinifred-op5so]

F1 and f2

[@MatthewEsume]

Does age matter? I want to study In the USA with no family members there and I'm 16 but 17 this year

[@AmaraOsuji]

I don’t think so. You should be fine.

[@BunmiOjo-ce3bd]

Hi Amara please my sponsor is my brother in US , can that cause a denial?

[@AmaraOsuji]

I doubt this fact alone is enough to cause a denial.

[@BunmiOjo-ce3bd]

Thanks so much for your reply

[@NaivoSangeti]

Is having a relative in the US cause your visa denial

[@NaivoSangeti]

Ooh what about going to a school in the same state your relative staying is it a red flag

[@seko7014]

Amara I applied for business management...i heard high visa approval is mostly for science students 😕

[@AmaraOsuji]

I don't know about that but I doubt that's correct.
