16. Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV):
    - Provide a copy of your resume or CV, outlining your educational and work experiences.

17. Visa Interview Preparation:
    - Practice answering potential visa interview questions, especially those related to your academic plans, reasons for studying in the U.S., and your intentions to return to your home country after completion of studies.

Remember to check the specific requirements of the U.S. embassy or consulate where you will have your visa interview, as procedures may vary slightly. Always refer to the latest information available on the official website of the U.S. Department of State or the specific U.S. embassy or consulate in your country.

DON'T answer as if you've just remembered all the answers like a parrot. Prepare for your interview but face the interview casually with confidence, a smile on your face, and of course, with no nervousness.

Come On! You can do it!!!

GOOD LUCK!
