The consular interview

Interview preparation

The consular interview

The US requires an in-person interview for almost all first-time applicants. The consular officer decides your outcome in a 2 to 5-minute conversation.

Our Interview Preparation Service includes mock interviews, common questions, body-language tips and strategies to confidently explain your purpose of visit and home ties.

1-on-1 mock interview sessions included

Document checklist

The interview is the deciding factor, but well-organised supporting documents are essential.

  • Valid passport
  • DS-160 confirmation page
  • Appointment letter
  • Financial proof (bank / tax)
