Officers expect some nervousness and typically focus on consistency and honesty rather than delivery style. Taking time to think before answering is acceptable. Staying calm and listening carefully helps prevent misunderstandings.

Preparation reduces anxiety. Reviewing your application and practicing responses builds confidence. If you don’t understand a question, asking for clarification is encouraged. Clear communication matters more than speed.

I was very nervous but focused on honesty and clarity. The officer was patient, and the interview went smoothly. Preparation helped me stay grounded.
