Common Mistakes to Avoid During Your U.S. Immigration InterviewThe U.S. immigration interview is a critical part of the visa application process. Many applicants make avoidable mistakes that can hurt their chances of approval. Here are 5 key mistakes to avoid: 1. Lack of Preparation Not reviewing your application or documents can lead to confusion during the interview. Ensure you understand every detail of your forms and supporting documents, and be ready to explain any potential issues clearly. 2. Inconsistent or False Information Providing inconsistent or false answers can result in a visa denial. Always be honest during the interview, and if you need to correct something, be upfront about it. 3. Missing Documents Failing to bring the required documents can cause delays or even rejection. Double-check the list of required documents for your visa category and bring both originals and copies. 4. Over-Explaining Answers Over-elaborating on your answers may raise doubts. Keep your responses brief and to the point, only offering more details if the officer requests them. 5. Becoming Nervous or Defensive Remaining calm and respectful is essential. Being overly nervous or defensive can harm your chances, so take your time, stay composed, and ask for clarification if needed. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can approach your immigration interview with confidence and increase your chances of success. Need help preparing for your immigration interview?
