The lady stated that the applicant should reply that he or she only knows the school counsellor and adviser.
The second she spoke about was how to tackle the question of one's plan after school in the United States. She said the applicant should not declare his or her intent to work and live in the US.
On why the applicant is choosing to study in the US, she warned that it is wrong to answer by telling the officer how America is a beautiful place and how you intend to have fun there.
