Hello Mandy! just wanted to share my experience with how my visa interview got approved on February 14, 2023. Here is the transcript of the questions the consular officer asked me at the Us consulate in Tijuana, Mexico: 1. What do you do for a living? -- Good morning, well I'm an electrical engineer. 2. How long you've been an electrical engineer? -- 5 years. 3. Tell me what are some of your activities? -- I'm a fire investigator, mainly do failure analysis on electrical components, and the electrical installation of the structure. Do origin and cause determination of where the fire started. 4. So you work for an insurance company? -- Yes mam. 5. What is the purpose of your travel? -- Tourism and vacations. 6. When are you planning to visit the U.S.? First week of march, 2023. 7. Are you married? -- No, I'm single. 8. Do you own your own house? No, I'm currently renting, I'm in the process of purchasing a property. 9. What city are you planning on visiting in the U. S.? -- Houston, Texas. 10. But what are your plans on doing there, what activities are you going to do? -- I've always wanted to visit NASA space center, always had a thing for space exploration, and rockets. 11. With whom are you going to stay there? A Friend. Congratulations! your Visa has been approved. So, this is how my interview went, hope it helps someone, and my advice will be to be as honest as possible and please maintain your composure. best of luck everyone.! Ubaldo

I like her English very much , the way she speaks and the words she uses . I will get fluent in English just by listening to her.
Mandy, you have a very calming voice and the way you present yourself is amazing! I'm not planning to move to the US I just stumbled upon your video while I was going through some job interview videos. I just followed you on LinkedIn and read you're also an immigration attorney. It would be interesting to listen to topics related to your expertise and experience- just an idea!
I prepared for my visa interview based on the information you provided, and I got my visa approved! I was interviewed with an honest and respectful attitude and also wore my suit. Even though few people wore suits, I think wearing one gave the officer a good impression. Thank you so much! 😊

Hi! My interview is near and I'm planning to wear a suit as well. So its fine to wear it? Others say its too loud.😊
Thanks Mandy for sharing 🙏You touch on very valid information some of which are sometimes taken for granted🙏.
To be honest, I will not feel denied if you are my interviewer. The smile you have will give me the motivation and the answers I need. 😃

Hello Mandy, thanks for the vital information on your vlogs. Please, in the case where on has no funding, does (s)he need to provide a bank statement that shows a closing balance with an amount more than the cost of program attendance? or there is a minimum balance the bank statement must show. Kindly advise.
First impressions lasts they say but with the number of visa applications im sure that it wouldn't make a huge difference in the application process so long as you have all the necessary requirements at hand and is decently dress for the interview.
Thank you

Hello Mandy, I applied for F1 visa in UK this month with passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis. In the application they asked me to only (Send Documents). Is that mean I will not be asked for biometrics and interview?. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Great ❤
I applied for green card before but I didn't succeed getting green card. what am i suppose to say during the interview if i happen to get work in the USA because I heard you in one of your videos saying it might complicate things if one had applied for green card before. What am i suppose to say during the interview?
I’m preparing for my second interview but this time I would like to change my interview Country and my is question: can I use the SEVIS for this interview? Thank you ❤
hey MANDY , thank you for all your advices i get my visa approved yesterday , i was looking at the visa officer like if i was looking at your face hhhhh , i have a simple curious question , they gave me 2 weeks to get my visa printed , if there any cases where can approval visa turn to denial before printing on passeport ?
