US visa and asylum interview questions

Pick your interview to see the questions officers usually ask, how to prepare, and how to practice out loud with Dyalo in your own language.

Asylum interview (USCIS)

At an affirmative asylum interview, a USCIS asylum officer asks about your identity, your journey and why you fear returning.

Refugee interview (USRAP)

In the US Refugee Admissions Program, a USCIS officer interviews you abroad after a prescreening by a Resettlement Support Center.

F-1 student visa interview

At the US embassy or consulate, the officer has a few minutes to decide whether you are a real student who can pay for your studies and will return home after.

B1/B2 visitor visa interview

For a US tourist or business visa, the officer must believe your trip is short and that you will return home.

R-1 religious worker visa interview

For an R-1 visa, a US religious organization first files a petition with USCIS.

Immigrant visa (green card) interview

After the National Visa Center finishes your case, a consular officer interviews you at the embassy.

Practice only. Dyalo is not a lawyer and does not give legal advice. Always tell the truth. Rules change often: check the official sites below and, for asylum, refugee or court cases, talk to a licensed immigration attorney or accredited representative.
