The Questions Your Family Member May Be Asked At A Family Visa Interview
Right before a family member can receive the family visa they have been sponsored for, they must go to an interview conducted at a United States embassy/consulate.
By going to this interview, the USCIS agent or consular officer can assess the family and their responses to the questions that they have been asked. This will allow them to choose whether or not to grant a visa.
Going over the questions that a family member may be asked at a family visa interview, and speaking with a lawyer who specializes in family visa law, will make it much easier for a family member to get the visa they need.
What Are The Questions Your Family Member May Be Asked At A Family Visa Interview?
A variety of different questions can be, and often are, asked at a family visa interview. But, even so, there are a few questions, in particular, that are always asked.
The questions a U.S. citizen and/or permanent resident’s family member will almost always be asked, at a family visa interview, are as follows:
- What is your relationship with the family member who sponsored you for this family visa?
- Have you ever visited the United States before?
- If you have visited the United States before, what was the purpose of your visit?
- How long were you in the United States?
- What do you plan on doing once you enter the United States?
- Can you provide documentation regarding your relationship with the family member who sponsored you?
- How did you meet the person who sponsored you for this family visa?
Regarding the latter question, this is most commonly asked if the person entering the United States is a foreign fiancé, marrying a United States citizen.
How Can Your Family Member Prepare To Answer The Questions Asked At A Family Visa Interview?
The best way for a family to prepare for the questions that will be asked at a family visa interview is as follows: go over each question and, in doing so, prepare an answer.
Just as an example, a family member must provide documentation. And this documentation must support their relationship with the family member that sponsored them.
By gathering this documentation in advance, and preparing it, they can answer this question with relative ease. This will make it easier for them to get the visa they need.
The same basic logic applies to all of the other questions that a family member will be asked. These questions must be prepared for, so that the answers will satisfy the person interviewing them.
Outside of what has been clarified above, a lawyer can help a family member go over the questions they will be asked, while also helping them apply for the visa they need.. This, too, will make it easier for them to obtain a visa.
