Core questions for most temporary visa interviews
Why are you going to the United States? How long do you intend to stay? Who is paying? What do you currently do? Have you traveled internationally before? What will you do when the trip, program, or temporary work ends? These broad questions often lead to category-specific follow-ups.
- State purpose before background
- Use dates and amounts only when you know they are accurate
- Keep people, organizations, and locations consistent
- Say that you do not know rather than inventing a fact
F-1 and visitor follow-up groups
F-1: Why this university and program? How does it connect to your prior study? Who funds the program? What is your plan afterward? B1/B2: What will you do each day? Why this duration? Who pays? What work or family responsibilities require your return?
B-1 and H-1B follow-up groups
B-1: What meeting, conference, negotiation, or other permitted activity will you attend? Who employs you and who pays you? H-1B: Who petitioned for you? What will you do? Where will you work? How do your qualifications relate to the role? Keep the wording consistent with the underlying documentation.
