Read here about the questions those were asked by the United States Visa Counselor for issuing US C1D Visa. These questions will help you to prepare yourself for the coming interview.
US C1Dvisa is a type of US visa which allows, people working on airplanes and vessels to join or transit through the United States. So, anyone who is planning to have such travel through the United States of America, then you have to get this visa first.
As per the US Visa Guidelines, you can stay up to maximum of 30 days in the states, if you are holder of this visa, provided that you have documentation to join vessel or plane. This cannot be used as a tourist visa. But those who are boarding or de-boarding the plane or Vessel, and have few days in hand before joining, then obviously they can roam around as a tourist. Generally we have seen people holding C1D, also goes for B1/B2 visa, which is purely a visa for tourism purposes. Now let’s see some of the questions that are asked in the Visa Interview of US C1D visa. Read this interesting article: How to Join Merchant Navy
