Do it at eight o'clock before applying for an American visa without being refused.

First, the face-to-face confirmation time 1, it is easier to get a visa in the peak season.

Many people think that it is better to get a visa in the off-season, just as all walks of life always relax some standards during this period in order to attract customers. But for embassies and visa officers, the situation is just the opposite.

Before the arrival of the tourist season, there is a small peak of visas, and the number of visas is huge. It is relatively easy for visa officers to sign in order to cope with their work. On the contrary, the number of off-season visas is small, and visa officers have enough time to review and be true.

Some netizens summed up their experience and thought that it was easier to get a visa in June 5438+February, because visa officers would be in a good mood near Christmas and would be more willing to issue visas.

Try to arrange it on Monday or Friday.

Some netizens have made rough statistics and made an appointment to apply for a visa on Monday and Friday. The success rate is greater than Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Not only that, it would be better if we could get in before 10 in the morning.

Second, the preparation work before the interview

1, dress

Dress and manners are very important in the interview. You know, the first time visa officers look at you in an interview, it determines their impression of you. It's not that you have to dress luxuriously and beautifully, nor that you have to wear formal clothes, but that you should pay attention to what you wear to suit your status.

For example, if you apply for a class F student visa, you should dress like a student, jeans, sports shoes and a POLO shirt. This is the normal dress of students.

If you are a visa applicant working in a foreign company, you should wear a shirt, tie, suit, shoes and so on during the interview.

Female visa applicants should pay attention to dress appropriately, and it is best to wear light makeup. Don't have long hair, wear heavy makeup, be unconventional and follow the fashion. Of course, if I really work in the entertainment industry, art industry or fashion industry, these women can dress brightly, fashionably and creatively. In short, they should conform to their own identity.

2. Materials

Prepare the materials needed for the interview, including passport, ID card, visa application form, photos and English scores. It is important to pay special attention to that academic materials should include the original academic degree, the original Chinese and English certificates and the original Chinese and English certificates of transcripts. Applicants applying for a master's degree should remember to add proof of work and income to the prepared work materials.

Income proof includes family business, spouse's income proof, original enterprise or company certificate, original real estate license (oneself, parents or sponsors), etc. It is very important to know that sufficient funds can guarantee the payment of various expenses during studying in the United States.

The most important point: the prepared materials must be true and don't lie.

You should know that refusing a visa once does not mean that you will refuse a visa in the future, but if the reason for your refusal is that the application materials are fraudulent, then the impact is enormous.

Many people think? The more protection, the better? Will families with average incomes do the same? Move around and get together? Make the amount of the passbook as much as possible, thinking that it is easier to get a visa.

But you should know that abnormal capital inflow can't convince visa officers, so I advise you not to do it for? Good book? Deceive the visa officer with false information. You can answer the visa officer's questions skillfully, but you must be honest and not lie.

Third, since I entered the embassy, I have always paid attention to my words and deeds.

You may not know that the visa office of the American embassy is completely under the monitoring of the American government. From the moment you entered the American consulate, your every move was monitored by the camera.

So from the moment you step into the American consulate, don't whisper, don't talk to strangers, and don't make any noise. Line up quietly, follow the procession, don't jump in line at will, and obey the instructions of consular staff or security personnel. Remember, improper words and deeds are likely to affect your visa results.

Fourth, the crucial 2 minutes, be sure to pay attention to your manners.

Necessary etiquette will help you get extra points, averaging every applicant? See the official? The time is about 2 minutes. When it's your turn, you must be calm. A small action will affect the visa officer's impression of you.

For example, when the previous applicant leaves the counter without sorting out the information, you should not rush up and wait quietly one meter away. When the previous applicant left, the visa officer called your name, raised his hand or nodded first, then quickly stepped forward and said hello to the visa officer politely. Never rush before the previous applicant has left, because people in western countries are very orderly and deliberate? Half-beat? In order to get a better impression.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) voluntarily submits materials.

The visa officer will not ask you to submit a certain material on your own initiative, so you should submit proof materials on your own initiative. For example, when the visa officer asks about your father's occupation, you should submit your father's work certificate while answering. Some netizens expressed doubts, why did the visa officer refuse the visa without looking at any materials? It is because this netizen doesn't know this skill.

Six, the interview should pay attention to the following points.

1, confident, generous and quick-witted.

Confidence is not domineering, but gives people a sense of peace and stability. Don't be nervous, it will give the visa officer the illusion that you are hiding something.

Try to smile (not giggle) during the interview. When answering the visa officer's questions, keep your eyes calm and watch the visa officer answer. Don't ramble and answer irrelevant questions, otherwise it will affect the visa officer's trust in you.

The most common mistake made by tourist visa applicants: Why did you go to the United States? A: Tourism. Such an answer is unacceptable. The visa officer asked you why you went to America. I want you to explain your whole plan clearly, such as where to travel, with whom and how to travel. You need to express these clearly in a short time in one or two sentences.

The visa officer's daily work is very boring. If he thinks you are also a boring person, he will ignore you. That's why. A second refusal? Or? Seconds passed? Situation.

Don't worry, speak slowly, or the visa officer can't hear you clearly for those who don't have good English. But hurry. When the visa officer asks you questions, you can't stop for a long time and you can't answer them. If you don't hear clearly, you can politely ask the visa officer to say it again. Never ignore it.

2. Try to be close to the examiner.

Should I call the visa officer properly during the interview? Emotional cards? If it is a study visa, the visa officer will not only test your language level, but also observe your personality characteristics to judge whether you have the ability to adapt to various environmental changes overseas. Not only that, during the conversation, the visa officer will also examine your comprehensive qualities such as logical reasoning and adaptability.

Therefore, in the face-to-face interview process, students should try to get closer to the visa officer and let you communicate in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Pay attention to the other person's expression and reaction, and nod or smile at the right time to show that you fully understand his conversation. But don't make fun of the examiner, lest he think you look down on him.

Never show the tendency of emigration, but have a complete plan.

Friends who apply for a study visa should have a reasonable study plan, explain their future development clearly, let the visa officer understand, don't beat around the bush, and don't let the visa officer think that you will immigrate to the United States after completing your studies. Remember to plan to return to China after graduation. This is one of the conditions that can guarantee obtaining an American visa.

When describing your major, don't simply give a professional name or introduce your major in detail in very professional terms. Remember that the visa officer is not a know-it-all. Too hasty or too professional answers will make him? Confused? If you can't understand you, it's easy to lose the basic basis for judging whether you have an immigration tendency, and finally you can only refuse the visa.

The best way for foreign students is to describe their major in simple and clear words, and it is best to talk more about the reasons and purposes of studying this major, and have a development plan after returning home, so as to better help visa officers understand and make reasonable judgments.

If you study sensitive majors considered by the US government, such as military industry, biochemistry, aviation, etc. Pay special attention to professional sensitivity when interviewing. When presenting a major, try to highlight the part of the major that is suitable for civilian use, highlight the employment advantages after returning to China, and never highlight its role in the military or biochemical fields. If it is unavoidable, there must be some reasonable explanations, and the visa officer should not seize the reasons for refusing the visa.

Don't lie when you answer the visa officer's questions. Remember never to treat the visa officer as a fool or pretend that you don't know anything. You should know that the consequences of angering them are very serious.

Interview is a communication process. If you only passively answer the visa officer's question, it is very likely that the expression is incomplete and the information you want to convey is not fully conveyed to the visa officer. Therefore, you must make a good plan before the interview and know what you want the visa officer to know, so that it is possible to guide the conversation and say what you want to say during the interview and improve the visa pass rate.

Whether you always speak English during the interview varies from person to person.

For tourist visa applicants, you can always answer in Chinese. Then why do some people say it is easier to answer in English? For example, many foreigners in Shanghai love to speak Shanghainese, which often has a lot of influence (laughs). The reason is the same, some visa officers are interested in this? Pidgin? Good English will be very friendly and can really improve the visa pass rate. And some people's clear-cut spoken English may give visa officers a different feeling. Therefore, whether to answer in English is not necessarily applicable to different visa applicants.

Eight, refused to sign?

1, have a correct attitude.

The applicant with the best conditions may be refused a visa. Visa applicants must have a rational understanding of visa refusal. Refuse a visa? As a test of one's own quality, one can hold a peaceful mind, which is helpful to bring nature into play on the spot and sometimes turn the situation around under unfavorable circumstances.

There is a joke on the internet: anonymous applied for an American visa n times, but it was rejected. For the last time, anonymous got angry and answered directly, what's the big deal about America? I won't go unless I go there. The result given by VO? Pass? I'll let you go to America to see what's good about America.

Although this is just a joke, it illustrates a truth. When the interview is unfavorable, candidates need to be calm, improvise and sometimes hold? Born of execution? Mentally, continue the face-to-face signing process, and some people can really turn around and finally get a visa unexpectedly.

2. Be calm after being rejected.

Don't pester after refusing the visa, you can politely ask the reason for refusing the visa. Although the visa officer can't explain the reasons for refusing your visa in detail, if you meet a good visa officer, it will hint at you, which is a good start. Stay calm, thank you, and leave. Don't insult the visa officer rudely. Prepare for the next visa.

Don't apply again immediately after being rejected.

American visa officers are very strict. Sometimes the reason for refusing a visa may be just a dress, a move, a word, or even that the visa officer thinks you are not pleasing to the eye.

If you are unfortunate enough to become a visa officer? In a bad mood If the visa is refused, I can only lodge a complaint and ask the new visa officer to resubmit the application.

However, applicants are advised not to re-sign your visa immediately after you are rejected. You can choose another destination first to make the second application take longer. Generally speaking, in 1-2, the embassy will clean up the visa refusal record once, and it will take a long time to prove that your personal financial resources and ability have increased a lot, so it will be easier to resubmit the application.
