Rehearse your US visa interview with an AI consular officer
Speak naturally to an AI officer that asks follow-ups, challenges weak answers and throws in trick questions, mirroring a real consulate exchange without any typing.
Select your visa type — F-1, B1/B2, H1B, K-1, J-1 and more, eight categories in total — and the session draws on real consulate question patterns for that route.
Each session ends with an Approved or Denied verdict, a confidence score and three specific corrections, so you know exactly what to rehearse next.
A free readiness score tool, a DS-160 consistency checker, a documents checklist, a bank-balance calculator and a 100+ question bank are available alongside the interview simulator.
