Best advice & last minute USCIS interview tips:

from Rusty Ryan

You look down, they know you're lying

You Look up, they know you don't know the truth.

Don't use seven words when four will do.

Don't shift your weight, look always at the IO but don't stare,

Be specific but Not Memorable,

Be funny but don't make the IO Laugh.

He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left the interview.

And for God's sake, whatever you do,

don't, under any circumstances...

Let one rip ??

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
