But, some applicants go into this interview not prepared enough to talk about their situation. ###### Relying too much on documents History of your relationship Your visa won't be denied because of the history itself, but it is important to show you have a bona fide relationship through the way you share the story. ###### History of your relationship Know all the details of your DS-160 and travel plans Make sure all the details are accurate and that you can tell them to the Officer at your interview. ###### Know all the details of your DS-160 and travel plans Don’t use one word answers Visa Officers hate one-word answers.
