How to pass an interview at the US Embassy 

• The interview is often conducted in English. But in some countries, it can be conducted in Ukrainian or Russian. For example, in Poland.
• You should come to the interview in advance (20 minutes in advance). You should not bring bulky bags, prohibited items, lighters, electronic accessories, food, or water.
• Each country has its own rules. Sometimes you are allowed to take your phone and small handbags with you and leave them in special cells.
• When talking to a visa officer, you have 5-10 minutes to confirm the purpose of your visit and that you are not going to stay in the country illegally.
• You may also be denied a visa if you have relatives living in America illegally, if you filled out the documents incorrectly, behaved strangely during the interview, concealed important information, etc.

It is important to note that after a visa is denied, you can reapply for it, but it will be difficult to get a visa after the first one. And after the second and third refusal, it will be very difficult.
