Hello,

Me, as well as my spouse and my kids have just completed the required medical exam, including required vaccinations.
Shortly, we have to be present at the U.S. Consulate for the interview.

I need to know if all of us will be interviewed together or 1 by 1?
What type of questions can we expect?
What are the errors to avoid?
And any other help-full informations about the interview.

Answers or any advices will be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
 
Assuming it works the same as at my interview, you all have fingerprints taken together, but only you and your spouse will actually be interviewed - together, but with most of the questions directed at the primary applicant.

A number of people have posted interview experiences, a quick search of the forum should bring up the typical questions. But really, they don't try trip you up - just want to see if you qualify and that you won't become a public charge, basically.

Get a good night's sleep.

Eat a good breakfast.

Be on time.

Have all your documents ready and organized.

Don't be nervous.

Just answer their questions clearly and briefly as necessary. Don't offer more information than they ask for.

All the best!
 
Thank you SusieQQQ and Vichel,

By the way, in which language are we interviewed, English language or local language?
Thanks to anybody who can answer.
 
it depends on the official language of that country ,however,they interview most of the time in english language.since you can communicate in english language,i believed you will be interviewed in english language.

i am not a lawyer:this is just my opinion.
 
It is not really an interview. When we were there, they checked the forms, then if everything in DS-230 is correct, took fingerprints and said approved.

I'm curious, where did you have your interview? It certainly was an interview, albeit not very long (maybe 5 minutes), for us and for many other people who have reported on this and other forums.

I don't think this is correct, I think you always have the option of being interviewed in either the local language or English.

Re interview questions, from what I can recall offhand apart from checking info in the forms we were asked: did we bring proof of financial situation, why do you want to go to the US, what do you do now, what do you plan to do there (also asked this to my husband who is derivative), do you know where you would want to live, do you know anyone in the US, have you travelled there before, how many times and where, when do you plan to go (ensuring we knew visas valid for 6 months).
