@visainterviewcoach: New Mandatory Visa Questions! The U.S. State Department just issued a directive stating that Consular Officers are now REQUIRED to ask two specific questions regarding your safety at home. If you answer "Yes," it is an automatic refusal. If you answer "No" and seek asylum later, you could face permanent charges of Visa Fraud. Don’t go into your interview unprepared for these questions. Knowledge is your best defense! Have you had your interview yet? Let me know what you're seeing in the comments. 👇
