About this interview
This interview tests whether a school transfer is a genuine continuation of study rather than an unexplained break or change of purpose. The officer may ask how the new programme improves your academic path, what happened at the previous school and how you will fund the change. Check the official US government site for current transfer, visa and status rules.
How to prepare
- Compare the old and new programmes and identify the academic reason for the move.
- Map your completed study and credits to the requirements of the new course.
- Review the transfer timeline and be ready to explain any gap.
- Know the new school's location, course structure and expected completion path.
- Check official guidance for current transfer and student status requirements.
Common mistakes
- Criticising the former school instead of giving an academic reason for transferring.
- Not knowing whether previous credits will count.
- Leaving a gap in the timeline unexplained.
- Assuming that the same funding plan still works without checking changed costs.
