Tips to crack the medical visa interview

Visa interviews can be quite confusing as the consulate officer will be asking you a lot of questions. At that point of time if you are not confident enough or if you cannot answer certain questions, then it marks a negative impression on him.

Apart from being confident the best thing that you do is to practice answering in a concise and straight manner. Practice your answers. You should know your details and the details of the one accompanying you thoroughly. You should speak for yourself. Some of the things on which the consulate officer is going to ask you questions are:

Your address and contacts
The address and contacts of the one who is accompanying you
About your passport
Your relation with the person
Reason for choosing India
Your ailment in particular
