Why are visa interviews so short?
The visa application forms generally supply most of the relevant information for a visa interview. Consular Officers review thousands of these applications every year and often only need to ask a few supplemental questions to determine an applicant’s eligibility. In addition, high demand compels Officers to adjudicate applications as expeditiously as possible. In order to be fair to all applicants and to provide everyone with an equal opportunity to establish eligibility, we must work quickly and efficiently.
