How to Prepare for Student Visa for USA

This is what I had prepared….and below are the Q which I got:

1. Why XXX University?
2. How Many /univ did you apply?
3. How many Yrs am I planning to stay?
4. Who is going to sponsor your education?

All the answers I gave was DIRECT, RELAXED and CONFIDENT, then he asked my wife

1. So you would like to accompany him? why?
– I would like to Relax, I have been working hard for last 3 and half years and at this point planning to take a break and at the same time accompany my husband. (He was well satisfied)
2. Do you like your job?
– Absolutely sir.
I forgot to share one more thing, Its always advisable for a Dependent to apply at the same time, possibilities are more that you will get through. If you both go at a different time they may screw you more…
Then he said us that its accepted for both of us. Once again Thanks a lot for HSB and Good Luck for readers.
