Finally...I passed the American visa 🇺🇸 | real interview. Ask what?

I told myself that I would write a review for my friends to be useful for those who prepare for the interview.

Before I joined the Royal School of Education Volunteer Teacher Program, which will serve as a Thai teacher for one year. Visa required as a B1 / B2 visa.

Let's skip the interview atmosphere.

Round 1 ❌ interview

08: 30-10: 30

🥺: Good morning.

👨🏻‍🦰: Good morning. Why are you going to the U.S.?

🥺: I'm going to be a volunteer teacher.

👨🏻‍🦰: How long is this program?

🥺: One year.

👨🏻‍🦰: And why did you choose this program?

🥺: Because I want to gain more teaching experience. It is one of my dreams in life to have teaching experience in the United States.

👨🏻‍🦰: What are you doing right now?

🥺: After resigning from my position as a private school teacher, I am now working as a tutor.

👨🏻‍🦰: Tutor, okay. How was your previous job related to Thai culture?

🥺: I was also an international relations officer. I had experience fluctuating Thai boxing workshops, Thai dessert workshops, and Thai dance conclusions.

👨🏻‍🦰: Wow. Do you do all of this?

🥺: Umm, I would say I'm a jack of all traders.

👨🏻‍🦰: I see.

🥺: However, before going to Boston, I need to improve myself a lot. That is why I am attending a one-month training program at Chulalongkorn University.

(Mood, the interview atmosphere is okay. The ambassador is not very fierce. Most of the questions I can answer, but I'm a little excited. Try to control my mind.)

👨🏻‍🦰: Okay. Where are you going to teachings?

🥺: XXXXXX, Massachusetts, near Boston.

👨🏻‍🦰: Wow, that's a big city. How will you cover your living expense?

🥺: XXXXXX will provide accommodation, airfare, and meals.

👨🏻‍🦰: What about your personal expense?

🥺: I have savings from my previous job at a private school.

(I prepared the Statement to show the ambassador, but the ambassador didn't ask to see it, waiting for him to ask first, afraid that)

👨🏻‍🦰: Do you have any relatives in the U.S.?

🥺: No, sir.

👨🏻‍🦰: What about your parents? Do they support you?

🥺: Yes. I have planned this with my parents. They have their own money, and I also have my money that I saved.

(Well, I didn't choose to use words well because the ambassador thought that we didn't have enough money to live in Boston, so I said that my parents have my parents' money, and I have my money, which if I go back, I would like to answer that my parents supported this trip would be okay.)

👨🏻‍🦰: Unfortunately, I cannot approve your visa today.

🥺: I was confused. Why? What is the reason? I was confused and stunned, but I asked him politely.

👨🏻‍🦰: (He made a sad face) said that this time is not yet, but can apply again.

The first round gave itself a score of 7 / 10. The answer wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad. The ambassador still didn't trust me, + he didn't ask the plan after returning from the US. What am I going to do? This is a little sad, but he probably decided not to pass since I answered about money and parents.

Round 2 ✅ interview

07: 15 - 09: 10

(I chose the morning round, dodged Kalkini Day, so I chose Thursday as Teacher's Day. I don't know about it, but for comfort. Hahahahaha)

Passing through the Thai checkpoint, I was very confused why I opened only one channel 9. I had an interview with the ambassador on Channel 9, but I thought that another channel would be coming because it was still very early. After 8: 00, there were two ambassadors coming.

👨🏾‍💻: Men wearing glasses, colored skin, skinny body, Channel 7

👩🏼‍💻: A woman wearing glasses, aged like a mother, Channel 8.

In my heart I wanted to be with a woman, but in the end, Channel 9 was empty, which I told the latter

"Go first. I've been with this person."

And he was waiting for an empty queue, but the ambassador on Channel 9 suddenly called me and asked me why he didn't interview him.

So I said,

🧒🏻: I have interviewed with you before. (So the ambassador smiled and replied that)

👨🏻‍🦰: Alright, nice. 👍🏻 (1 thumbs up)

(Because I asked the brothers and sisters if we could interview with the same person, the answer was that they would not give the same interview)

I waited for about a minute, chanted for an interview with a woman, summed up the empty men's box 🤦🏻‍♂️, so I took a deep breath and walked to the interview.

🧒🏻: Good morning. (Wai)

👨🏾‍💻: Morning (Dark voice, not looking at the face, just looking at the screen)

👨🏾‍💻: Do you have any sense why you got refused last time time?

🧒🏻: Maybe because I answered about my parents, not that clearly and also the documentary.

👨🏾‍💻: What is your job right now?

🧒🏻: I am running my own business, which is a tutoring school in XXX, the southern part of Thailand.

👨🏾‍💻: Why do you go to the US?

🧒🏻: I am going to be a volunteer teacher at XXX in Boston.

👨🏾‍💻: What was your previous jobbing?

🧒🏻: I was working as an English teacher and also an International Relations Officer at XXX.

👨🏾‍💻: What did you study at universality?

🧒🏻: I graduated with a Bachelor of Education, an English major, from Silpakorn University.

👨🏾‍💻: Give me 1 minute. (The ambassador walked away with a passport and an invitation letter)

🧒🏻: (I kept praying, not knowing where he was gone. In about a minute, the ambassador returned and continued printing.)

👨🏾‍💻: Do you have family in the US?

🧒🏻: No, sir.

👨🏾‍💻: Are you scared of coming back to Thailand?

🧒🏻: No, sir.

👨🏾‍💻 (Read the letter, finish looking at the face)

👨🏾‍💻: Your visa will be delivered within 7 days. Have a nice day.

🧒🏻: Thank you so much.

I'm very happy. Tears filled when I walked out.

This time, I was really stressed because it was the last opportunity and the teacher did not recommend to do the third time. I was an exchange student in Japan in high school, prepared an old passport, but the ambassador did not watch + get a visa and travel to New Zealand twice, Indonesia once, Taiwan once, worked as an English teacher + contacted abroad. The first time I fell, I was sorry. I consulted a brother. He said that my Weakness is a freelance, as if it has the potential to jump all the time. This weakness must be achieved and make him sure that we have an obligation to come back to Thailand. At that time, I was not discouraged and neither. Give it up because I really want to go to America. I think I give myself a chance to make my own excuses again. In the second round of the interview, if I don't try, the chance is equal to 0, but if I try 50 / 50, let me try again.

✅ what I improved from the first time

1. I wrote DS-160 carefully, examined the precarious wording, wrote down the number of students I taught to gain more weight + each tuition fee (I do not know if the ambassador has read it, but I feel that it is evidence that we are not a freelance tutor who is ready to jump or run), wrote project details and plans after returning from the US, what to do, prepare a lot of papers myself, parents, but the ambassador does not look at other documents at all, I think mainly that the ambassador is based on DS-160.

2. Answering the question, the first time I was a little shaken, not very strong. + The first ambassador was a person who liked to ask. I answered a little stammer, not as impressed as I should have. Around this time, answering full voice, confident, looking at my face (even if the ambassador didn't look at my face at all, hahahaha). Eye contact. Various acts of respect ended with sir, mam is not known about, but I did it all.

3. Moutelu is that I go to pay a lot of respect. Both on the request are the main court of Bangkok, the main court of my own home, the temple of Phra Kaew, the temple of Pho Pho, the shrine of the provincial temple. People who have been interviewed will understand that each day before I can only think about the interview. Paying for the blessing, I see that at least it helps to strengthen my heart. When going to pay respect, it makes my heart moist, like another way, which every time I ask you to help the interview pass smoothly. (P.S. This is a personal belief.)
