The Right Attitude
In addition to providing the right documents and having the right reasons, making the right impression on the consular officer is equally critical in the visa application process. Here are some interviewing techniques suggested by NAFSA: 1.
Speak in English - Practice interviewing in English with a native English speaker. Being fluent and confident will help you present your case better. However, avoid preparing a speech2.
Speak for yourself - Make your case yourself. Having your parents or others speak on your behalf does not make a good impression on the consular officer
3.
Be brief - Keep your answers and explanations short and to the point, as consular officers can only spend a limited amount of time with each applicant
4. Be positive - Do not argue with the consular officer or come across as rude and sarcastic; even if you are denied a visa. Instead courteously ask the officer to suggest additional documents you could bring in order to overcome the refusal
