U.S. Student Visa Interview – Key Questions & Tips

Tips:

  • Be honest and clear.

  • Speak confidently, not memorised.

  • Dress professionally.

  • Carry all required documents (passport, I-20, SEVIS fee receipt, bank statements, transcripts, etc.).

  • Tip: Focus on academic excellence, global exposure, research opportunities, and diverse campus life.
    Example: “The USA offers cutting-edge research facilities, diverse learning environments, and globally recognised degrees.”

  • Tip: Mention specific reasons – rankings, program structure, faculty, career support, alumni, location, etc.
    Example: “I chose NYU for its strong business program, renowned faculty, and internship opportunities in New York City.”

  • Tip: Show a clear career goal. Align your background with the course.
    Example: “I’m pursuing an MS in Data Science because I have a computer science background and want to work in AI-driven analytics.”

  • Tip: Be honest. Mention family sponsors, scholarships, or personal savings. Provide documents if asked.
    Example: “My father is sponsoring my education. He’s a business owner with sufficient funds in savings and income.”

  • Tip: Know your tuition + living expenses. Be specific.
    Example: “My tuition is $25,000, and living expenses are around $12,000 per year. We have the funds available.”

  • Tip: If yes, mention the loan amount and the bank. If not, explain your funding source.
    Example: “No, we are using personal savings. My parents have set aside funds for my education.”

  • Tip: Say you plan to return to your home country. Avoid talking about staying in the U.S. permanently.
    Example: “After graduation, I plan to return to India and work in a multinational company to apply my skills locally.”

  • Tip: Answer truthfully. If yes, explain who and where.
    Example: “Yes, my uncle lives in California. But I will be staying in student housing near my university.”

  • Tip: Stay calm. Say you will work on improving your profile and reapply.
    Example: “If that happens, I’ll revisit my application, ensure everything is correct, and apply again.”

  • Tip: Show purpose, clarity, and confidence in your future.
    Example: “I’m committed to pursuing quality education in the U.S. and returning home with valuable skills. I meet all the academic and financial requirements.”
