Your USA Student Visa interview questions will
revolve around your course of study, finance, as
well as the return back to your original country
amongst other questions. Apart from this, the
interview is not required for the students who
have had their F1/M1 visa expired in the past 12
months, and are applying for the same visa. In
certain cases, you might be required to attend an
interview or submit your biometrics. It is
extremely important to ensure that you fill your
M1/ F1 visa application form correctly that you
submit the original and genuine documents which
are required. If your application is faulty or
has some misleading information, it will lead to
your student visa being delayed. If you have
submitted fake documents, it might cause you to
be permanently ineligible to apply for another US
visa.
