B1 visa approved
Thanks immihelp. I had my interviews on Sep 16, 2014 and before attending the interviews, I went through almost all the interview questions that were posted in immihelp. Thanks to everyone who have posted their experiences and I think the interview questions given in immihelp is so exhaustive that there are very less chances that the Visa officer can ask something outside this.
Following are some of my suggestions for someone attending the B1 interviews:
1) Go through the FAQ and all the interview questions posted in immihelp.
2) Prepare a one-liner answer and practice how to deliver it. For Ex: I was asked - "what does your company do". Now I can talk about this for more time but that is not important for this interview. You need to prepare how to tell this in one or two sentences. The Visa officer will get confused if you tell more and you will get more cross questions. For this question, I had prepared 2 small sentences. The Visa officer did not even let me to go ahead with the second statement. So be fully prepared what to answer for the questions. And, as I mentioned earlier there are very less chances that the Visa officer can ask something very different than the questions given in this website. (So, you know the questions already and it is just that you need to prepare the right answers :-) )
3) I have seen comments like we need to wear tie etc.., I think its not required since in my batch I saw just 1 or 2 guys (out of some 500 people) wearing ties. I just suggest you to go in formal. That should suffice.
4) Hear the questions very carefully and then answer. The Visa Officer has got a mike and hence we can hear clearly what they are asking.
5) Whatever you say, say it slowly. Since in my case, whatever I was saying he was typing it. Even though I was slow, he asked to me to go still more slowly. So, listen the question carefully and then answer slowly. Easier said than done :-)... the ambience was such that I was tensed but once I started speaking with the visa officer, I bought myself to normal.
6) Whatever you have mentioned in the DS-160 form, remember and practice the answers since they will check sometimes that you know what you have written in the DS-160 form.
The questions that were asked to me were:
- Where are you going in US.
- Why are you going.
- What does your company do.
- Is it your client place or branch.
- What is your annual income in rupees.
- What is your designation.
So, you can see there is nothing special questions that were asked to me other than already mentioned in this website :-)
And my visa got approved.
So the key thing is go fully prepared and you will definitely get through.
Good luck to everyone who are attending the interviews.
