If you are working your way through the visa application process, you will undoubtedly find that there are a lot of steps involved. One of the best things you can do, as a visa applicant, is be as prepared as possible. One way to do this is review the commonly asked questions used during a typical visa interview.
Many sample questions are available on immihelp.com. Keep in mind that no matter what question you are asked, you need to answer honestly and to the best of your knowledge.
This list includes some, but not all, of the questions you may be asked in reference to your visit:
(1) Why do you want to travel to the United States?
(2) Why do you want to visit at this specific time?
(3) How long will you be staying in the United States?
(4) Why do you want to stay in the United States for that specific amount of time? Are you unable to complete your trip in a shorter time period?
(5) Where will you stay in the United States? Make sure you are familiar with the address before your interview and ensure that the address is the same as what was provided in your application.
(6) How much will this trip cost? For this question, you should have your sponsor documents ready.
Next, you will be asked questions related to your sponsor, as well as any relatives you may have in the United States. These questions will likely be asked during this section:
(1) Who is sponsoring you? If the answer to this question is either a son or daughter, follow-up questions will likely include:

(3) What is your annual income?
(4) Do you plan on working while you are in the US?
In almost all cases, the interviewer will ask you questions in order to make sure that you plan on returning to your home country at the end of the scheduled visit to the US. Questions during this part of the interview may include:
(1) Will you return to your home country after your visit?
(2) How can you assure me that you will return?
(3) Who will take care of your property while you are away?

(3) Currently, who lives with you and what do they do?
