Do you know why someone is rejected when they do not show enough intent to return home? For example, I want to stay in the US after studying. I would like to work there and eventually become a citizen, legally of course.

[@anilpillai3512]

The video shown here is absolutely right. I am 46 years old Indian citizen had been living in Singapore for 20 years, since last I moved to Suffern, NY in 2021. I got my F1 visa in my first attempt in 50 sec officer's question. US student visa is not that easy to get even you have a good TOEFL/SAT score with millions of dollars financial background. The visa officer is a kinda mentalist who is capable to dig your mind of what your real intention of your studies in US, whether you gonna return or will be stayed back.. A personal advise to all F1 students ready for interview is.. ""DONT LIE"" TO THE VISA OFFICER.

[@Abru16]

I did go through such an interview, which was a while back though (in 2008). I was 16 and excited to go study at a High School, travelled with an agency, knew there was gonna be an interview - never knew you could 'fail' it though and so preparing for it never crossed my mind. I knew my intentions though and that they were legit so I should've been fine with any question. So when they did start asking their questions, I did notice there were critical ones.. or.. rather 'in depth'. But - I was fine, even without studying potential questions prior because when you go through the process of making that decision (to go abroad) you do ask yourself alot of their questions already and have an answer to them. And if not that, others before them might have asked you the same questions, so my honest advice is to take yourself through why you chose to go abroad and it helps to tell others about it so they can ask you more questions, that also prepare you. This goes for the embassy interview at home as well as the one in the US once you land. I remember questions like: What did you come here for? My A: for an academic year abroad Q: Does your home country not have schools? My A: Yes, it does but I am trying to really learn the English language as well as get to know the people and culture over here. Q: Can't you learn it from books at home? My A: I could, wouldn't be the same as learning it by how it is really spoken natively neither can you study the intercultural experience, so that's why I chose to come over. In the end, they turn friendly and even say Welcome to the US. :) It's not really something to worry about too much, you'll be fine.

These were the questions asked to my son when he interviewed for the F1 student visa, if anyone interested (only take about 10minutes, his total time in the embassy was 45minutes, a record) ☺️ : my father and my agent prepared about 30 simulated questions and we practiced the answer everyday for 30days, and we prepared all the documents in advance, turn out the day of Visa Interview, not many people queue and we came early so still have good moods, the Visa Interview Officer was a white US middle aged person which was very nice and spoke English not too fast, so I understand clearly, he asked only 6 common questions and only ask about the financial doc but never asked to see it. If you interested, here are the questions : 1. Where do you want to study (city); 2. Name of the college/university (he didn't ask proof, Letter of Acceptance, etc.); 3. What major; 4. Who finance your study (didn't ask proof); 5. What are your parents do for living ; 6. He ask why choose 2years college (because I want to transfer to university after).
