The US Visa Interview Questions will make anyone nervous but knowing what the consular officer is looking for will make the applicant feel at ease and confident.
What are they looking for?
The consular officers will usually check whether the applicant is qualified to have the K1 visa requested. The primary considerations that will be screened are the following:
• The fiancé(e) must be a U.S. Citizen.
• There must be intention to marry within 90 days from entry to U.S.
• Both parties are free from any legal impediment to marry.
• Met the meeting requirement
The meeting requirement may only be waived if there is a strict and long- established customs of either couple prevents them from personally meeting each other, or that such requirement would be too burdensome on the part of the petitioner.
Proof of correspondence with the fiancé(e) like love letters and copy of emails, as well as pictures may be of help in proving there is a bona fide relationship. These may be brought along with other supporting documents.
Possible US Visa Interview Questions
Taking note of the abovementioned criteria will serve as a guide to possible questions that may be asked. The succeeding are questions commonly asked by consular officers.
a. How did you met your fiancé(e)?
b. Have you met personally? If not, why?
c. Where did you get engaged?
d. How long are you engaged?
e. Where are you getting married?
f. What does your fiancé(e) do for a living?
g. Where does your fiancé(e) lives?
Be honest and avoid talking when not asked. The officers are trained at determining who are lying and trying too much to give them the best conceivable answer may give them the wrong impression.
“Do not try to please the consular officers, just relax and be yourself.”
