What must happen during an immigration interview?

During an immigration interview, officials assess the applicant's qualifications to determine their eligibility for the visa or immigration status they are applying for. This assessment typically involves evaluating various factors such as the applicant's background, the purpose of their visit or migration, and compliance with legal requirements.

The interview is designed to ensure that the applicant meets the necessary criteria set by immigration laws, which can include verification of documents, educational qualifications, employment status, and sometimes even personal motivations for immigration. By focusing on qualifications, the interviewing officials can make informed decisions regarding the applicant’s ability to meet the conditions for immigration benefits, thus ensuring the integrity of the immigration system.

While financial information, intentions regarding return to the home country, and personal data may be part of the broader context of the interview, the primary focus is on assessing qualifications relevant to immigration status.
