When international students apply for F1 student visas, they are expected to go through a visa interview process in English, which can be a bit intimidating for non-English speakers. Interviewers usually ask questions related to these five categories:
⭐️ Study Plans
Why are you coming to the US?
What will you specialize in your degree?
Where did you go to school?
Is it not possible for you to continue your education in your home country?
⭐️ Choice of University
How many universities have you gotten admission for?
How many universities have rejected your application?
Have you been to the US before?
Do you know your professors at the university of your choice? What are their names?
⭐️ Academics
What are your test scores (GRE, GMAT SAT, TOEFL, IELTS)?
Why not study in Canada, Australia, or the UK?
What do you know about US universities?
What was your previous GPA?
⭐️ Finances
What is your monthly income?
How do you plan to fund your entire education?
Is anyone going to sponsor your education? If so, who?
Did you get offered a scholarship at your university?
⭐️ Post-Graduation
What are you plans after your education?
Do you have a job or career in mind after you graduate?
Will you continue to work for your current employer after you graduate?
Are you sure you won’t stay in the US? (although it isn’t impossible to stay in the US through programs like OPT, CPT or H-1B visas, you still will need to provide obligations that will lead you back to your home country)
