How do I prepare for a USA B1/B2 visa interview?

To clear the B1/B2 interview, I advise you to use common sense. For example, some applicants say they want to visit 5 places in the United States in two weeks, it seems unreasonable and will raise red flags.

Here’s how to prepare for the USA B1/B2 visa interview.

  • Research the common questions asked in B1/B2 visa interviews and try to prepare answers for them in advance to build confidence:
    • Why are you visiting the U.S.?
    • How long will you be going?
    • How will you finance your travel?
    • What is your current job?
    • Have you traveled internationally before?
    • Who do you know in the U.S.
  • Understand the reason for visiting the USA and be able to communicate the same to the visa officer. Whether you’re visiting for business or traveling, you must be able to discuss the trip, how long you will be going for, etc. It all needs to make sense.
  • Confidently show how strong ties or how well connected you are with your home country. You can convince the visa officer by mentioning your job, family members, steller education, or kids in your home country.

Lastly, remember the USA B1/B2 visa interview is just like a formal conversation between two people. There’s no need to be scared. Practice with mock interviews, and you’ll be good to go.

All the best!
