7. Why are you here today? Why do you come here?

8. Why don’t you continue to study in Vietnam?

 During my study time at university in Vietnam, I realize that there are still shortcomings in

the education system including exam-driven teaching method, limited chance for practicing

and poor facilities. This prevents me from studying effectively. So, leaving Vietnam for

developed countries like the U.S gives me the chance to approach advanced education

system, the reality and international qualifications and achieve my occupational goal.

9. What have you prepared for study-abroad? Bạn đã chuẩn bị gì cho vấn đề du học của

mình?

I have prepared everything: choosing a top-rated school, receiving I-20, acceptance letter, a

very clear study plan. I also achieved IELTS 5.5 as a language preparation to study the most

effectively in the U.S. My parents also have prepared enough finance to support my study-

abroad. So I’m perfectly confident to study in the U.S

local family culture and customs. It also helps me improve my English skills.

11. Why does your school transcript mention your mother is housewife?

normally, parents’ occupation information is automatically transfered by the head teacher

from primary school to middle school transcript and to high school transcript without

making any change although in reality my mother changed from housewife to doing
 business 10 years ago. I believe that not only I but also most Vietnamese students have the

same situation. Furthermore, according to Vietnam’s traditional culture, man should be the

breadwinner and woman should be the housewife. That’s why my parents’ occupation

information remains unchanged.

12. How much is your parents’ annual/yearly income? How much do your parents earn

per year?

I have a very clear study plan: from choosing school, major, period of study in the U.S,

planning to return to my country to develop my career as I mentioned earlier.

So, I do believe that I am qualified to study in the U.S.

15. What do you think if I said that you’re not qualified for the visa?
