Practice is the Key.
After you have prepared your answers, you have to Practice multiple times.
What do I mean by Practice?
- Repeat your answers along many times
- Make sure it sounds right
- Fine tune your answers.
Why Hand Write Your Answers:
I want you to hand write your answers when you are preparing the answers for Visa interview questions.
Why thinking about what you are going to answer is NOT ENOUGH.
Hand Write = Hardwiring the answers to your brain.
Tools for Practice

- Video Recorder (cell phone)
- Real Person ( multiple)
