TIPS ON HOW TO PASS THE U.S VISA INTERVIEW...

We as Filipinos, generally go through a long process when it comes to visiting other countries. One of hardest and most expensive visas to get is to the U.S. It costs $160 to apply and it takes up a lot of your time too. I’m sure no one will ever wish to get rejected.  Let me tell you one thing, it is easy. All you need to do is to follow these tips.

Disclaimer: Following these tips will not guarantee a passing interview but it will surely help you in a lot of ways

 1.PREPARE ALL THE DOCUMENTS A WEEK OR 2 BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW.

Important: Basing on the time that I spent in front of the interview officers (yes I was seated in front while waiting for my interview) I’ve noticed that 90% of the time, they only ask questions and do not require the interviewee to show any of their documents. Just to be on the safe side, have your documents ready.

 2. EAT!

Whether your interview is in the morning or at noon, eat. This whole process takes about half a day. You will have to fall in line 5 times. There is however a snack bar inside the embassy, so don’t worry.

1st  line

Getting inside the embassy itself

2nd  line

Getting your interview number

3rd line

Getting inside the building where you will be interviewed (SEATED)

4th line

Photo screening (make sure that you’re not smiling in the 2×2 photo you brought)

5th line

Hand Print

6th line

Interview (SEATED)

3. BE AN HOUR EARLY.

 An hour is okay. Don’t do more than that. The lines are long but as long as you arrive at least 30 minutes earlier the given interview time, you can enter. Bring a fan. Cold drinks can help too if you hate the heat but you will need to leave it upon entering. And if it’s raining, bring an umbrella.

BUT,

4. DO NOT BRING FOOD/DRINKS INSIDE

AND,

5. DON’T BRING YOUR CELLPHONE OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES.

 6. DRESS YOUR PART.

This is important! Pick an outfit that makes you look like what’s indicated in your documents. Just make sure it’s simple and decent. DO NOT OVERDRESS.

Remember this:

If your documents state that you’re a student, then you shouldn’t be in a business attire, you should look like a student. Jeans and polo or a blouse would be good!

If your documents state you’re a businessman, then you should wear a business attire. No need to wear a coat and tie, please.

If your documents state you’re an employee, then wear something corporate.

In a nutshell, wear something that projects who you are and what you do, just imagine wanting to impress your boss, clients, schoolmates, etc.

Trust me on this. The line was long enough for me to observe other interviewees. There were many people in coats and ties and formal dresses who got denied. Officers can smell desperation. (I mean, who wears that to an interview?) Just keep it decent, neat and simple.

7. Be CONFIDENT during the interview.

The moment they have received your application, they already made a background check for sure. So, what does this mean? You can never lie. How you make a living is very important but having high income will not guarantee your approval. All you need is your confidence when answering. The questions are easy, it’s not like they are going to ask you to explain the immutable laws of physics. Being able to speak English properly is a major plus.

One more tip: NEVER GIVE OUT INFORMATION or DOCUMENTS WHEN IT’S NOT ASKED. Keep your answers straight and to the point.

 Ex.

Officer: What is the purpose of your travel?

Answer: Vacation.

Officer: What do you do?

Answer: I’m an employee.

Officer: Where do you work?

Answer: I work in Ayala.

Officer: What is your position there?

Answer: I am a property consultant.

So as you can see, you only answer the questions, specifically. No more, no less. If the officer asks you to show some documents show only what he/she asked for specifically. You do not want to look nervous and especially desperate.

Just be confident and honest and hello U. S. of A!

Tips on Smart Property Investment

Real estate is and has always been the greatest wealth builder in history. That is a fact that has been proven many times, and is presented in a number of international bestsellers on the subject of investments. Unlike usual “paper” investments, real estate is not subject to fluctuations common to stock or bond markets. A property venture continues to provide a steady return on investment because it is a constant need, especially if the property is well-located and well-developed.

Real estate investments are considered the ultimate security and a solid base for increasing wealth because property values appreciate over time.

Location is one investment rule of thumb. With such a strategic access to major transportation lines.

Why do I need to invest now not tomorrow?

1. Low investment price compared to incoming months – note that we do have price increase quarterly (CAPITAL APPRECIATION).

2. While we still offer a promotional scheme: promotional scheme is only available for a certain period of time.

3. While the term is longer compared to the incoming months – so you may have an ample time for your payments

4. While there are still available units with good view and concept.

5. While the discount is bigger and unlimited.

So what are you waiting and thinking for, INVEST NOW!
