This is likely to be the first question you are asked and likely one of the most important answers you will provide. You should answer this question with honesty, clarity, and specific reasons for selecting your university and program. Be careful to not focus so much on comparing US universities to other countries’ universities; you have selected one university from within the US and it is expected that you have good reasons for doing that, so be sure to highlight those.

You should answer honestly and include two to three supporting reasons for making the decision you made. Highlight the important factors that caused you to choose the university and the program. Do not attempt to answer with what you think the consular officer wants to hear; answer with the reasons that matter to you.

ac global’s visa coaching sessions are designed to give you an overview of the visa interview, what questions to expect, how to best prepare yourself, and preparing yourself to feel confident going into the interview. You will provide your details when you book your session, so ac global will have an overview of you and be able to maximize the session and time together.

No. There are no guarantees of receiving a visa from participating in a coaching session with ac global. The coaching session is designed to provide you with increased confidence, knowledge, and preparedness in order to be your best at the interview, but we cannot and do not offer guaranteed success.

Most F1 visa interviews last around 2-4 minutes. You should not expect to engage in a 20-minute conversation; you need to be prepared to provide detailed, concise answers to the questions you are asked. ac global encourages students to prepare their responses to be 25-40 seconds in length, which is typically enough time to answer clearly and with details.

You are likely to be asked questions about why you want to study in the US, why you chose your particular university and program, how your education will be funded, and what your plans are at the conclusion of your studies. Depending on your responses, there may be clarifying or related questions asked to you. Discussing these questions and supporting you in being confident in your interview is one of the key benefits when you book a coaching session with ac global.
