Interview with US embassy on Monday!!

[Clipsey]

Well after many stressfull months of planning and document processing I finally have my interview date with the US embassy to apply for my visa.
I am applying for a student visa for 2 years.
Now was just wondering if anyone has any tips of what to say or how to state the fact that you want to live/study in their country.
The only thing I know to say/do is to confirm that I have strong ties to my own country hence I will be returning after my visa expires.

So if anyone has any tips or suggesstions they would be much appreciated as Im getting slightly nervous about it all as its such a huge decision made on one day

Cheers
Chris

cheers guys,

It has been a long and boring process but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Going to the state of Indiana where my gf lives - and thats where the college is.
I have viewed the college and been all accepted etc

No plans to 'settle' down as of yet as not sure whether I'll want to live there full time. But for now the 2yr visa would be perfect.

Are you going to Uni there? As i've been looking at Uni's but there $20k a year . You got any information you could huck me up with

Some colleges can be like that or even a load more. But if you went over there then looked about there are other colleges that are a whole lot cheaper. Im hoping to start off at the college that has accepted me then move to a mega expensive college on a 'soccer' scholarship. But just gotta get this dam visa out the way first!

cheers for the replies guys this is making things a bit better - trying to realise what im in for on monday

My experience at the Embassy was pretty good. It didn't take too long at all for me and the people I dealt with were really pleasant. It's quite intimidating when you first get there - the place is like a fortress with check-points and cops with machine guns.

lol this is now what im expecting so thats cool.
I have what I believe everything I need - trouble is at no point is there like a check list to say exactly what i need I have my visa application form, with the relevant other forms filled out and completed with my receipts and also my college acceptence - also have some financial documents just in case!
Anything Im missing?


Must get a book!!!
