@refugee_program_s: Interview Tips Be prepared to clearly articulate your past experiences, your current situation, your fears, and why you believe your future would be at risk. Do not lie. Always be honest in your answers. If you have ever had a court case, disclose it, even if you were found not guilty or the case was dismissed. Do not lie or exaggerate. Inconsistencies can affect your credibility. Take time to prepare before your interview. Think about the questions you may be asked and how you will answer them truthfully. Print and bring any supporting documents or evidence that help you explain and support your story. Honesty, consistency, and preparation are very important.
