According to the US Embassy in Ghana, US visa officers care more about what people say than what papers they bring. Consular General Elliot Fertik told reporters that visa interviews last only two or three minutes. The staff must see many people quickly each day.
Officers decide mostly based on what applicants tell them during these short talks. Fertik said officers rarely look at documents, though people should still bring them. He called it wrong to think papers determine who receives visas. Your answers matter most when talking to consular staff. Fertik warned against lying or using fake documents. Such actions can lead to visa denial or a permanent ban from entering America.
