Hello! I watched approximately 20 videos from your channel regarding B1/B2 visa before my interview. I want to tell everyone how informative and comprehensive your videos are. I already knew all the questions as highlighted by Agrovisa ex-VOs. I learnt how one can own their story and present it to the officer. I got my visa approved today. I didn't sign up for any course because your videos were enough for me to prepare. A huge thanks to Chai and Coaching and Agrovisa!!!!

[@alaviabatool5788]

Here are the questions I was asked: 1. Purpose of Travel 2. Explain your project you wish to present to the conference 3. Name of my degree and University 4. How did I find out about the conference? 5. Are you traveling with your team with whom you conducted your research? 6. Who is funding your trip? 7. What does your father do? 8. Have you traveled before?

Great, glad to hear!

[@L.Coxhead]

I also overstayed my ESTA due to the pandemic and have my B1/B2 visa appointment this week, do you have any tips/advice for the interview?

[@alexsist5571]

@@L.Coxhead I would say have it clear in your mind how you're going to answer why you're going there and why you overstayed, be over-prepared so there's no question that'll catch you off-guard and no paperwork they'll want to see you don't have. I think if you're prepared for anything then there's less that can go wrong and you'll be more confident. bring any supportive documents such as proof of flight cancellation emails and ties to your home country, a main one's work so a signed letter from your workplace would be good (even though they didn't ask to see a single one of mine lol) I would give answers that are to the point so you don't waste their time but you don't want to be too brief, that's why it's good to know in your head what you're going to say. I went to the embassy in London and there were a lot of people waiting, maybe over a hundred, so I can imagine they don't want to hear your life story as they have a lot of people to get through, make sure you have a good reason for visiting the US, but don't make out that you love it so much you won't come back! Make sure you have enough finances and you can briefly explain that. Also be polite and be positive. Speak when you're spoken to, don't just start rambling when they don't ask you anything, imo they will likely approve your B1/B2 Visa as they didn't seem too interested in why I overstayed, they just wanted to know why I wanted to go there, the lady I spoke with was nice and asked me about my work situation and when I plan to go etc. I was pretty nervous and probably came across that way but luckily the interview only lasted about 2 and a half minutes. Hope that helps! And good luck! 🤞🏼

[@andiswaclay1763]

@@alexsist5571 I am in this exact same situation but believe I said I didn't overstay and now I'm worried that that will be viewed as dishonest. Covid complicated things for me too and yet I always applied for an extension and was always put on pending. I left the country before I even got my answer because I missed home and had a job I had to start right away. My interview is in 3 days and I am stressed. I hope it goes well.

(while replying to him he was making some entries in the system) Thanks and go to window X in my case it was 5. window 5 was for finger prints, (US was having my finger prints before but they scanned again) on window 5 he said to to window 6. On window 6 I greeted the officer by saying (Goo Mornin Officer "remember I used goo morning not Good Morning to keep the accent" 😉) he smiled and replayed the same. immediately he started Q-1 what is the purpose of your visit? A= I am going to attend a Fair, Q-2 what is your job in the company? A= I am an "ABCD" , Q-3 what is your company name? A= "ABCD", Q-4 what your company do exactly? A= we make "ABCD" and All type of "ABCD", Q-5 For how long you are working in this company? A= 17 years, Q-6 how long you are here in Kuwait? A= XYZ years. "the officer said, I am approving your visa, I will keep your passport and will be delivered through mail" Thanks officer I replayed.

How can she even get employed to work overseas at the us embassy when she doesn’t speak that specific country’s language?

[@boytotnak7740]

i respect the consul but i know he didn't tell all the truth, of course if he tells the truth the american gov't may file a lawsuit against him, the thing is before your the interview in US embassy they already review your application and they already investigated you, it is not true that the consul didn't know about the applicant and only rely on the DS160 that the applicant sent to them, because if that is true then many unwanted visitors may come to US, so i believe that US embassy already investigated all the applicant before their date of interview in embassy, and i believe that the interview is only for the appearance of the applicant, i believe that the consul already knew if the applicant is passed or denied before interview, that's the reason why some of the applicant asks only one question by the consul and others has 3 to 4 questions, because the consul already knew who's passed and denied applicants, that's what i think

Does this course comes under Technology Alert List because in that list Information Security is mentioned . If yes then how can I avoid to get 221(G) . What are the measures I should take to get my Visa approved . Thanks

[@chaiandcoaching]

I have no idea 🤷‍♂️ that’s a better question to ask the university to clarify 😃 You can watch our other videos for helpful visa interview tips

My last friend was denied ( Filipina to USA) because she teaches English remotely to Japanese students. All others items were satisfied ie purpose of travel , solid bank statements, strong family ties , home, pets and a son

[@hankmeyer1834]

visa applicants sseeking tourist visas must convince the consular officer that they will abide by the terms of that privilege...if they don't, their application will be denied, without regard to all of the other BS mentioned above. oNot everyone qualifies...period.@@Alex-wk1jv

Can I apply for a B1/B2 visa with traveling purpose (without business purpose)? I've already completed a DS-160 application form and chose B1/B2 type. Is it mandatory to tell both business and pleasure plan?

[@chaiandcoaching]

You will need to communicate some sort of specific purpose to the visa officer

[@DarylHannah-mv9rp]

What's a "good traveler" to convince the officer when you're only trying to go to visit for your honeymoon? Any tips?

[@chaiandcoaching]

Just be honest about that. Honeymoon is a short trip where you return home afterwards. Focus on your home ties.

@@DarylHannah-mv9rp oh wow, congrats! 🙌🎆👍 What were the questions & answers?

[@darirue]

@@chaiandcoaching Where in America will you be visiting and why? How long have you been married? How long have you had your residency? (since I’m not a Japanese citizen but been living in Japan for a long time) How long have you been living in Japan? What does your husband do? What were your work experiences, could you share a little bit of background where you were working? When will you be going and coming back from America? I answered all of them confidently and honestly since I am tied to my home country and my husband is a Japanese. Although I carefully answered precisely and not to explain too much.

[@efesonmez7662]

Is there any difference between B1/B2 and F1 approval success rate? I heard that in some cases getting F1 visa is way too easier than B1/B2. Another question is if you're currently not working is it enough reason reject your B1/B2 application? I'm a new graduate Bulgarian student and i'm gonna apply for the visa from Bulgaria (I also heard that there is more chance to get your visa if you apply from countries like Germany, Spain, Belgium…etc). I would like to know which option is better.

[@chaiandcoaching]

Having one type of visa for USA definitely helps in your chances of getting a different type of visa. Applying for 3rd party countries can undergo more scrutiny and questions, so be ready for that.

[@efesonmez7662]

@@chaiandcoaching Thank you for your answer. Would it be more logical to apply for F1 if you are recently graduated or it has the same chance of getting B1/B2? Also do you have any idea if being unemployed is enough reason to deny the visa?

Hi guys - Wondering how much more likely it would be to get a B2 tourist visa for my Thai girlfriend (I am an American) if we got married in Thailand? We do not want to live in the U.S. We just want to visit my family, then back to Thailand. I will also be getting an Elite Visa in Thailand. Since this is a long-term visa showing I will be living in Thailand, will this help her to get the B2 tourist visa? She has family in Thailand, a good job and even owns a little land. Do you think her chance of getting the B2 tourist visa is good? And I've read the process could take only about 1 month. True? Thanks!

[@chaiandcoaching]

I think if you are married and you have a long term Thai visa that would help. But also good to check with immigration attorney experts.

[@gujju_chhokro29]

If they ask about our financial status or any savings and investments???

Sorry, but what is your question?

[@maelmare9280]

Can I start a process from here as a sponsor for my brother to get a tourist visa? if he applies directly in Colombia he won't get approve because only wealthy people get it but if I provide an affidavit certifying that I will pay for all his expenses I think he will have a great chance to get approve.

Should i book flight tickets hotel booking attractions tickets in advance?

[@notyourbusiness1352]

No, only after passing visa interview. They can deny you by decision. There should be plenty of time after you passed your visa.

[@chaiandcoaching]

Better to wait until after visa approval if you can

If I am going to see my child schooling in a university in the USA, what are the questions they would ask me at the Visa interview? What would I need to provide there?
