I was practicing with my cousin yesterday and realized I sound weirdly rehearsed every time I explain how to prove ties to home country for F1 visa. I do have real reasons to return, but in mock interviews it comes out robotic.
For people who already had their F1 visa interview, what actually helped you show home country ties in a natural way? Did you focus more on family, property, a job plan after graduation, or something else?
I know the officer usually decides fast, so I am trying to figure out what kind of answer sounds genuine but not too long. If anyone can share examples of what they said, that would really help.
