I was super nervous about my F1 visa interview, but I found a few things that really made a difference. Here’s what helped me:
- Practice common questions: I practiced questions like 'Why this university?' and 'What are your future plans?'
- Be clear and honest: The key is to answer clearly without sounding rehearsed. They want to understand your genuine intentions.
- Show your ties to home: Talk about family, community, or jobs waiting for you. It reassures them you’ll return.
- Dress appropriately: First impressions matter! I wore business casual attire to show I take it seriously.
These tips really helped me keep my cool. Good luck out there!
