Hi everyone and happy holidays!

 

I have a question regarding visa interview for my mother at the US consulate in my country of origin,

Once you petition for your parent NVC sends the approved application to US embassy/consulate to my country of origin and they schedule visa interview for my Mom.

Does anyone have any experience what kind of questions visa officer asks?

 

Thank you all for your feedback

It isn't an intense interview. Most folks I have met say their parents are asked things like:

 

What is your relationship to your petitioner, how long have they lived in the US.

 

Do you know where you will live? (Ideally your parents would know the address, but just the city, state will suffice)

 

Are they looking forward to moving to the US,  what is the first thing they would like to do when they arrive.

 

The interview is a formality. Make sure they are prepared with the documents they need to bring to their appointment.

Totally understandable. Just advise them to be prepared (with the documents) and relaxed (because they should feel confident about their responses). I was nervous when I did my K3 interview back in 2009...when I am nervous, I smile a lot lol
