Route Board

Follows the U.S. visa interview from filling out the DS-160 to the few minutes spent in front of an officer. Looks less at "correct answers" and more at how an officer actually reads an application: what registers as a risk signal and what doesn't. Readers get a working sense of the decision logic here, not a memorized script — why a one-word answer hurts more than an imperfect one, why questions about extended stays aren't just routine. It breaks down the DS-160 social media question specifically — what's really being checked and what's worth listing. It also covers common DS-160 mistakes and whether mock interviews genuinely help. It deliberately stays out of refusal cases at other stages of the process, sticking to the interview itself and preparing for it.
