Visa interview is a conversation between the applicants and the visa officers, it's not a test or an exam.No matter the level of academic documents or financial paper, you need to be fully prepared.For your successful F1 visa interview, you need to prepare answers for all the possible questions.Sometimes, unexpected questions are asked and if you do not answer them properly, your visa interview may fail.I have seen a lot of students rejected because they didn't have an answer to some of the unexpected question.
