- Whether you're planning a visit, study, work, or immigration to the United States, understanding the visa interview procedure is crucial. In today’s video, I'll guide you through the key steps, requirements, and tips to ace your interview and enhance your chances of securing your US visa. I’ll also share all the questions that were asked during my US visa interview process and the answers that I gave - for your reference, my visa application was for B1/B2 visa. This video is based completely on my own visa interview process which started in May 2023 and finished in January 2024.
I’ve divided the video into two parts as the interview takes place in two phases - fingerprint scanning and photograph taking, and the actual visa interview with a visa officer.

Yesterday i had visa interview in Hyderabad embassy, just to update there is no locker facility.
Thank you for sharing!
All the information is spelled out on the embassy websites if you would just read the information there would be no surprises
sir after completing j1 status but not 2-year home residency can affect b1b2 conference visa? need suggestion as my interview is with i coming days
Yes I do
👍👍👍
How to understand questions carefully because i am from Asia 🌏 and compare to British language we can't be that much better what they can see from us so i wanna know some tips??
Sir I have been struggling with a problem for a long time and can't find any solution. The problem is. In 2021 I took B1-B2 visa category interview apartment in June 2024. When interview apartment date for me and my wife. We had no children then. Alhamdulillah I am now a father of a boy who is only four months old. Now the problem is with my son. Now he also needs an interview apartment date with us. Or our interview will be my son's apartment date. With this in mind I have not yet filled the Ds-160 form. Sir, what should I do now?
It was very useful video. Thanks for sharing this information. I wanted to ask if me and my husband can schedule for single interview or do we have to make 2 separate appointments? Also can you make another video about the form and DS160. would really appreciate it.
That’s a great question but unfortunately I don’t know the answer for it. I’ll check with my agent and get back to you on this 🙌
Can I use a B1/B2 visa? I'm an Indonesian automotive entrepreneur who wants to come to the United States for seven days. My main objective is to conduct a business study tour, and I'll also be spending three days in New York for a quick training installation?
Can someone tell me if I have to take my 1 year old son for us tourist visa interview
Hey, I wanted to ask about your travel history. Since you already had a visa, was it suppose to go through the procedure to get a B1/2 interview waiver and submit your documents in the dropbox? Was it necessary for you to attend an interview?
Yes it was necessary as my visa was quite old and had long expired. Usually you have to apply within a certain window (six months?) after your visa expires to submit the documents via the dropbox.
You’re so handsome and have travelled so many countries obviously who wouldn’t give you a visa haha anyway congratulations 🎉❤
Haha…yes my travel history certainly did help! 🙌
How long did it take for you get the slot and which consulting servcies company helped you with application? Also if you could mention how to get the slot preponed.
It took many many months - I applied in May and got my appointment only in December though I hear from everyone that things are way better now. I didn’t share details of my own agent because I changed the agent during the process and even after that struggled to communicate.
Hi, can you share how did you answer when the visa officer asked if you are married? - I assumed this was my redflag when i applied 4x (sadly all denied). Thank you very much in advance.
Frankly I just explained my unique life status and the visa officer was quite understanding. I think the key is to be truthful and confident, and not be apologetic about it. Everyone is unique and the world, including the visa officer will understand that.
Hii....i don't have travelling tickets and iternary ...what should I answer
I don’t think they’ll ask for tickets unless you are going for specific dates and event. I would say just answer truthfully and confidently - that should work 👍
My humble question is , can I take the translator even I can speak English nicely?
Main reason is some times I can't properly understand the American accent.
So to avoid any misunderstanding, can I take translator at the time of Visa interview?
I m earning 85k per month n having very good travel history
I’m not sure how the presence of a translator is perceived at the embassy. Unfortunately I can’t help you with this one…
NEXT NAGALAND SIR💗
I would absolutely love to 😍
Hi my 2nd us visa expire in 2023 june. Do i need to go interview again or just dropbox?
Dropbox as far as I know. Your visa process should be pretty straightforward.
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms thnx
Sir, I am a PhD student. I have been selected for a conference and the organizers will pay for the flights.
My bank account balance is around rupees 20-30k most of the time. Do I have any chance for getting a visa?
I do think you have an excellent chance of getting the visa. Since your trip is all sponsored, and I’m guessing you have a letter for that, it should be ok. Most likely you’ll be asked about your income right now so be prepared to answer that. Be confident and give them no reason to think that you won’t come back after that conference. All the best 👍
Thank God! Thank you Sir. 🙏
Sir . Only 2 question puche mujhse or. Koi document nahi dekhe ek bhi document nahi dekhe ..
Or reject kar Diya visa
Ek mam the ( black color) new Delhi me tha interview .. kuch samaj nahi aaya or 2 minut me interview khatam ho gya
What is your travel history?
Can you coach someone on how to answer the questions
Unfortunately I don’t have the expertise for this. It’ll be good to find a good online consultant who can help you with this.
Only 2 question,, what is the purpose of visit .
2) have u visit before..
That is 😢
India me nahi rehte hai aap
Aap USA me rehte hai ?
I very much live in India...this video is shot at my home in Bangalore :)
