Top 10 Mistakes at Visa Interview that can lead to Delay or Rejection of your US Visa
Part from reasons of having false information in your Visa Application,
your US Visa may get rejected for some trivial mistakes as lack of
confidence during interview, unable to answer the questions etc.
So you have decided to visit your favorite country and finally applied
for Visa of that country. It’s the day of your visa interview and you
are going there for the first time; you have no clue as to what
questions will be asked and how it goes. First of all, this visa
interview is the most important of the complete process and your whole
plan of visiting a new country comes down to this. The better you are at
your visa interview, the higher chances you have of getting the visa.
Following are some of the commonly observed mistakes made by people
during the visa interview which can leave a wrong impact.
- Lack of preparation
One of the most important things to do before heading for your visa
interview is preparation for the questions which may relate to the
purpose of your visit. One must do necessary research regarding the
questions asked at visa interview beforehand to be confident during the
interview.
- Incomplete and false information
Any kind of incomplete or incorrect information could seriously ruin
your chances of visiting the country; not only now but even in the
future as they keep a record of people applying for the visa. Also,
false information could end you up in more trouble or legal actions. So
make sure you say the right things in your visa interview.
- Incomplete working papers/ documents
Proper documentation of all the important papers is a necessity while
heading for the visa interview. You must cross check the document
requirements with your own documentation so as to ensure you have left
nothing behind.
- Lack of knowledge about visa fees
You must carry the exact fees as required by the authorities/as
mentioned in the papers. Also, if the payment is to be done in any form
other than cash, you must be prepared for that before going for the
interview to avoid any delay.
- Extra/Irrelevant information
It’s better to answer the questions to the point rather than giving
too much information. Going into details without being asked for, may
trigger additional questions which may not be in your favour.
- Variable/different statements
Any information which is inconsistent with that of your
documents/your previous statements can go against you and reduce your
chances of getting the visa.
- Clash with the officer
If you are not aware about a particular thing told by any officer, do
not argue rather ask in a decent way so that it does not give a bad
impression of you.
- Inefficient communication skills
Imagine going to another country and not being able to communicate
with the people properly. Proper communication skills are a necessity
without which survival in another country is a big problem. Inefficient
communication skills leave a negative impact on the officer so one must
possess good communication skills.
- More talk, less listening
You cannot go on and on and on without listening to the interviewer
properly. One must try to keep their communication short and simple so
as to provide all the necessary information only.
- Looking stressed/uneasy
While answering the questions you must not look stressed because the
interviewer is asking questions about you only. If you pause or get
tensed or your body language changes (that indicates nervousness) on
being asked something, the interviewer observes these changes. Your
reaction influences the interviewer’s judgement so make sure you give it
right and be confident.
Make sure you avoid the above mistakes and get your visa to explore your dream destination.
