VIVA la VISA AMERICAN!...PART II

PRACTICE/CONFIDENCE/PRACTICE/CONFIDENCE and more PRACTICE/CONFIDENCE/PRACTICE/CONFIDENCE

El siqa bil nafs wa timaran nafsak 3al interview are two things that will help you to obtain a visa. Hat khosh 3amel zay el far...insa el visa. Hat khos be alata wa manakheerak le fo'a...bardu insa el visa. Just try to look confident. Dress nicely, khaleek mibtisim shwyia (bas mish le daragat te koun ahbal, bas balash taksheera or al'an.)

Make a list of the possible questions, you might be asked. Write down your answers and then practice with a friend...howa ye'sal wa inta terod. And keep on practicing.

In Part I, I wrote some questions. Here are a few more:

Q: How can you assure me that you're coming back? (assure ya3nee guarantee...ya3nee at'akid ezay inak raga3 baladak)
A: Well, first of all I don't have enough money to live there; I'm just a student and still take an allowance from my parents (masrouf). I also want to finish my studies in my home country.
Also, my intention is tourism; I just want to travel and visit a new country. (hadafee).
(fee ray'ee ana, ana shayfa in momken hena el wahid ye'olohom, I like my country, all my family is here and all my friends are here. It's not my intention to leave Egypt. (mish hadafee aseeb Masr.)

(lil nas ili itkharagit, momken ye'adimu warak min el shoghl, bank account, or ownership of property in Egypt. Ama el tilmeez el 3adee ili lesa taht rahmat mom wa dad, ma3andush haga yenfa3 ka daleel inu ha yerga3...gheir kilmitu! bas kilmitak mish kefaya taba3an. So you have to really speak with confidence.
WA MAT NAVIRSH, WA TONFOKH, WA TEBAYAN "IRHAMUNEE BA'A." El sabr halw ya nas!).

Q: Who is going to sponsor your visit?
A: My parents. (oult ana el so'al da abl keda, but this is another way they might ask it. Lazem ta3raf kilmit sponsor or sponsorship. (Ya3nee meen ili hay dabis fee daf3 el rehla!!:) Baba taba3an!)

Q: Where will you be residing? (ha ta3od fein henak..ya3nee where will you be staying).
A: At my (uncle's, aunt's, cousin's....) house. He lives in..... (hena lazem tidee meen areebak da, saken in which State wa 3anwanu).
If you're not staying at relatives then you must state where...a hotel? a student hostel? (sakan tolab)...

Q: Why are you travelling alone? Why aren't your parents going with you?
A: It would be too expensive for all of us to travel.

Q: When do you plan to travel and how long are you planning to stay?
A: I hope to travel shortly after receiving my visa; during my summer holiday. And I'll be staying a month. University starts in September, so I have to be back in time to get ready for the next semester. (heta keda, ta'keed lil regou3).

Of course, these are just some questions that could be asked. Bas momken tit'si'il eya so'al fee el donya....inshala...eh rayak fee Bin Laden? or eh ray'ak fee el Americans? or even eh ray'ak fee el gaw el yomein dol?

It's an interview, so expect anything!

El qanoun beta3hom be oul:

Section 214(b) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It states:
Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status...

el kalam da ma3nitu in kol wahid gharib (alien, usdohom mish American) be ya3tarb mohager (immigrant) gheir lou aqna3 el consular officer in min ha'u (el mesafer) ya khod nonimmigrant visa.

If you are denied a visa (itrafad el visa) lek el haq tis'alhom leh. Wa leek el haq (You have the right) te'adim (to apply) again. But it will be more difficult than the first time. But if that happens, shouf itrafat leh wa hawel tisalah ba3d keda your language and your answers.

NOTE PLEASE:: THE ANSWERS I PUT ARE ONLY SUGGESTED ANSWERS!! MOGARAD IQTIRAHAT!! Maybe you have better answers than mine.

So, good luck! and don't forget to BE CONFIDENT AND PRACTICE!!
