How long is the wait for an interview for a visa?

Wait times for visa appointments can vary with each case. The number of applicants pending and the seasonal workload also determine how long the wait time might be. Most wait times are between 60 and 120 days, sometimes even longer.

What to do to have a successful Visa Interview?

Before you go to your interview, take the time to prepare ahead of time so that when you go to the embassy, you will have no difficulty acing your visa application. During the interview: 

 

  • Make the best impression.

Making the best impression starts with being prepared and confident. Besides, you have to be calm, friendly, and courteous. You can do research and revise mock interview questions for better preparation. 

 

  • Provide precise and concise answers.

Always hit the nail and give a clear response. If you are unclear on any questions, you can always ask the interviewer to explain. Use your words carefully, and do not sound desperate or like a shady business person.

 

  • Go with a complete document.

You should go prepared and ensure you are with a complete set of documents like a recommendation letter, business proposals, etc. Not having the whole thing with you can portray you as unserious and put your interviewer off. Besides, provide them promptly as soon as the interviewer requests them.
