답변 4대 원칙
- 구체적 숫자/이름 — "good school" X → "ranked #15 in CS by US News" O
- 30초 이내 답변 — 영사관은 5분 내 결정. 길게 말하면 의심.
- 비이민 의도(Strong Ties) — 한국에 두고 갈 것(가족, 직장, 부동산) 강조.
- 거짓 X — 모르면 "I don't know"가 거짓보다 안전.
피해야 할 답변 5가지
- "I want to live in America" → 즉시 거절(이민 의도)
- "My friend lives there and got a job" → 의심
- "I might apply for OPT/H-1B" → F-1은 비이민 의도 강조해야
- "I'm not sure" 반복 → 준비 부족 인상
- 한국어로 "잠시만요" → 영사가 듣고 영어 능력 의심
