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.

But I am an Indian and this will be second renewal of my B1,B2 which was issued first time from India. I have visited USA 4 times in last 12 years. My brother is USA citizen to whom I visited all the time. I am concern about the application place is not my home country i.e India. I can't apply from India as it's difficult to manage appointment schedule in India during my 1 month holiday. I do have family back in India wife and two kids.

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.

When she answered "seven years", his follow up question was "why haven't you gotten married?" I though this was an inappropriate question. It is a personal issue and has no bearing on whether she is a risk to try and migrate. What justification does the visa officer have to ask this. Did he not cross the line here?

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.

My parents and my sister just got their visa denied…. The most disappointing thing is that the officer did not spoke and understood the romanian language…. She would ask them questions in a broken language and would not understand their response to her questions….. This is a matter that should be possible to be appealed! How can she even get employed to work overseas at the us embassy when she doesn’t speak that specific country’s language? And why is not the us government make it a requirement for applicants to speak English if they don’t have employees that can speak that language??? It’s very disappointing and ignorant!

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.

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.

@@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?

[@chaiandcoaching]

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

@@Alex-wk1jv oh really?

[@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

I'm from PH and had interviewed before and it only took less than 20 secs by asking two questions (A. what will you do in US? My Answers is "Tour" and How long you will stay? "Two weeks") and my VISA is approved. I think US visa is the easiest one while UK and Russian is visa complex one.

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

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

[@emmanuelmontes3298]

Having booked hotels in advance is not a guarantee. Its how u interact with consuls and prove them ur strong ties

This is such a great video. I have been watching a lot more of your videos to help me crack my interview and I feel confident now. I have a question though. My B1/B2 Visa Interview is scheduled for the third week of December 2023 and I have plans to travel to the US in May 2024, for about 2 weeks. But the issue is, my Passport expires in August 2024, i.e two months after I have returned from my trip from the US. Should I be renewing my passport before the Visa interview or after my Visa Interview? Will this affect my chances of not getting the Visa approved? Please help me with this.

[@chaiandcoaching]

Make sure passport has more than 6 months before expiring Watch our visa interview playlist for more tips. Also, you can also take the free visa interview checkup quiz to see how you score and how the visa officer will likely respond: bit.ly/3zLHUHZ

[@NtsenzeZaotsa]

Thanks a lot for that video I’m french citizen planning to visit the States but I’m just stunned about some of the questions that are redundant and sometimes confusing eg: why are you asking about the names of parents I’m 67 my folks died 45 years ago there’s no point asking about the bank statement? I won’t take the risk to travel that far if I can’t afford the bottom line is maybe when one reaches a face to face interview things might be different hope so. Faiza from Copenhagen
