Even though visa agents in your home country will help you with various steps in visa processing, you must still attend your B1/B2 visa interview in person at the U.S. Consulate. Whether or not your U.S. visa is approved is based on how you present yourself at your visa interview, and not based on documents. At ZF Visa Guides, we bring our unparalleled experience as former Visa Officers to help you succeed at your B1/B2 visa interview. You should prepare for the interview with our expert advice to ensure you are prepared for this important interview. In our experience, many visa agents make mistakes in the DS-160 form, which can cause you to get denied your visa, or even earn a lifetime ban. This is why it’s so important that you learn how to properly complete your DS-160 form to minimize red flags. In the eyes of the U.S. Government, it is your responsibility to make sure that your DS-160 form is completed correctly and accurately. If someone else has completed the DS-160 form on your behalf, it’s important that you review and finalize it yourself.

Everyone’s situation is different, and just because your friends or family members have passed their visa interview, doesn’t mean you will. On average, approximately 1 in 4 visa applicants are denied at their visa interview, so properly preparing with expert advice is crucial. The best time to take our course is before you have a visa denial. Sometimes, mistakes made at previous interviews will be difficult to reverse later, even with expert help. Notes taken by the Visa Officer at your interview stays in your permanent record in the U.S. Government’s system. - I have been approved a U.S. visa before, without taking your course. Do I still need to take it? It is strongly advised that you prepare with our course for each in-person visa interview that you have. In our experience, even people who have been previously approved a visa can subsequently be denied, so it is better to prepare than to take any chances.

If you have additional questions after taking our full B1/B2 course, be sure to join one of our exclusive bi-weekly Q&A sessions just for course students, to ask any follow-up questions. You can also do a mock interview and get live feedback on your answers!

You can take this course approximately one month before your next visa interview. We highly recommend that you take this course before your very first U.S. interview, before you've had any visa problems, because that's when this course is the most effective. If you've been denied a visa before, we recommend you take this course before your next interview so you can understand how to properly prepare.

Yes! Visa applicants are often denied because they did not properly prepare for the visa interview. Taking our training course will help you understand what you did wrong at your first interview, and how to set yourself up for success for your next attempt.

No one can ever guarantee that your U.S. visa will be approved (and if someone is promising you that, you should not trust them). However, through our training courses, you will learn how to maximize your chances for success by understanding how to effectively communicate and convey your situation to the Visa Officer.
