‘When your studies are over…’: Expert advises how to answer officer’s trick question for US student visa interview

Immigration attorney Brad Bernstein offered five simple tips to students looking for visas for higher studies in the US at a time when the US authorities are weighing every visa request carefully and rejecting more than ever, citing various reasons. Bernstein said the applicants must show strong ties to their homecountry so that the officers are convinced that the applicants are intent on going back to their countries after their course is over in the US. The State Department is taking extra caution for cases where they have reasons to believe that an applicant wants to settle down in the US.
