 |
|
Hello,
I just accepted a job in South Korea and will enter the country in June. What is the VISA interview like? Is it long? Is it intense? I got nothing to hide criminally or medically, but I'm so nervous one little slip up in answering a question or being nervous might send me packing back to America.
What basically happens during one?
Does anyone have any tips for preperation? |

| Were you told that you will have an interview? when I got my visa back in '11 I didn't have to do any interview for the visa... I just gave them my passport and picked it back up a week later. |

| No, just from my research for the E-2 visa, I thought there was an interview. Maybe I'm wrong. I know there's a medical examination. But I maybe there's no personal interview? |

There is supposed to be an interview but as I understand this doesn't always happen. I wasn't interviewed and I submitted my passport and documents to the Korean embassy in Atlanta.
By all means prepare for it but don't be surprised if they approve your visa without it. |

| I had a group interview back in 2011 which was just asking us all some generally questions for about 10 to 15 minutes. It was like having a Sunday afternoon chat. |

If you have to do an embassy interview, which is unlikely, just dont be freaky or hint at any red flags.
By the way, a pet peeve of mine: VISA is the name of a credit card. What you're seeking is simply a visa. |

| An embassy interview used to be standard for all first time applicants, however that was scrapped several years ago; now you will only be called for an interview if there is an issue with your application. |
