Exactly all right
Let's take a look at the words in language take away
Today
Language take away
Alright on language take away
We have sponsoring
Sponsoring
Sponsoring
Sponsoring
So eric
What does it mean to sponsor somebody
When you sponsor somebody for a visa
You take care of them
And make sure they have enough money
Okay so you
You are the one
Whose responsible for all of their expenses
And making sure they just have enough money okay
So for example when i was sixteen
I made a trip to another country
Yeah
And my parents were my sponssiso so took ook responsibility for your money exactly
Okay
Let's look at our next word
Invitation letter
Invvation letter
Invitation letter
Invitation letter
Now this is a really important part for a visa application
Yes
Very important
What is an invitation letter
Well
An invitation letter is a formleletter
A friend or a relative or may be a business rights to ask you to come to their country
Exactly
So you are being invited for a specific purpose to the united staate
Yeah
And you have to give this letter to a visa officer
Okay
Invitation later our next word
Ties
Ties
Ties ties
Looks exactly like tie
Like the one you wear in your souit
Not
Not quite the same though all right
So what are ties
The ties you have to your country
Are the things that keep you attach to your country
Okay so that make sure
That you will return to your country
Okay
So what are some examples of ties
Like maybe a house or away
Like for child or maybe some money in your bank account ok ay
Your job you ook okay
Perfect
Yeah
A good way to think of this is imagine like a rope
That's attach to you
Entiying you to your country to
To your house
Your
Your job to your kids okay
So you can't run away exactly okay
Ok
That was clear
But let's listen to some more examples of how we would use ties
Example one i sold my house and close my bank account
I don't have any more ties to my home country
Example too i often enjoy being single
He wasn't ready for the tires of family life
Example three
Diplomatic gulations have improved
And the ties between the two countries are stronger alright
It's clear now
嗯哼
Let's look at our next word
Financially independent
Financially independent
Financially independent
Financially independent
So that means
That you don't need anyone that you have enough money
You have enough money for yourself right
So you don't have to ask your parents to pay for your ticket or pay for your food or whatever ok
And our last word for
For assets
Asset asseasasset a 对
Okay
So your assets are kind of like your ties right
There are things of value
That you own things that are expensive
That you own in your home country
So it would be a house
Yeah
A car yet
Maybe stocks
Stock or investments
Okay
So all of those things are your assets okay
So we've seen a lot of great words
And i think it's time for us to listen to our dialoguagain
We're going to slow it down for you
Yeah
This will help you understand it a little bit
Better
So you're applying for ab two visa
Where's your final destination and what is the purpose of your trip to united states
I'm going to visa my brother
He's just had a baby
He lives in miniapolliis
And how long do you plan to remain in the united states
I'll be here for approximately three weeks
See here's my return ticket for the twenty six of march
And who is sponsoring your trip my brother
Here this is an invitation letter from him
I'll stay with him on his family in her home right
Tell me about the ties you have to your home country
Well i own a house
Actually i'm leaving my dog
There with my neighbors
I have a carar at home
I know my job i'm employed by tunnel as an engineer
Actually i only have three weeks vacation
So i have to go back to work at the end of much
And what evidence you have that you are financially independent
Well i do have assets in my country
Like i said i own a house
And see here's a bank statement join my investment and my bank balance
I'm sorry
Sir
We cannot grant you ab two visa
This time instead you are granted a resident visa
Congratulations
You are the millions person to apply for visa
You win congratulations
耶
Okay
Today we're not going to do uh a regular tool kit like bluency builder putting it together
No
We're going to do something a little bit different
Today we're going to talk about the questions
You will probably be asked at an interview for aus visa
Yes
And the useful language that you can use to answer these questions in a good way
Okay
So let's take a look at our first questions
Where is there a final destination
And what is the purpose of your trip to united states
Where is there a final destination
And what is the purpose of your trip to united states
So this is probably going to be the first question
The interviews going to ask you
Yeah
So michael
I know you have a lot of experience with us visas
How should we answer this question
Well
It depends on what you're doing
Right
Right
So if you're a tourist
You would say i'm going on vacation to new york or anywhere
Also if you're visiting a family member like in our dialogue
Would would say i'm going to visit my sister or my brother or my cousin
If you're applying for a business visa
Than you would say oh
I'm going to visit you or it's acta right
So you just have to say why you are going to the states
Now is it important to be really specific
Yeah
The more specific you are is probably better
So if you can name the state and the city where you're going
Yeah
It's much better
Ok Alright
Well
Let's listen to our next question
So long do you plan to remain in the united states
How long do you plan to remain in the united states
Okay
So this is a really important question
Also because in your application you have to put
How long you plan to stay in the us
Right
It's a pretty straight forward answer you know two months one month
Three weeks
Right
But you just have to make sure that your answer matches
What's written in your application
Yeah
Exactly
Okay
Now let's take a look at our last question
Tell me about the ties you have to your home country
Tell me about the ties you have to your home country
Oh
I think this is maybe the most important question
That the ask you right
Yeah
This is the most important question
This is what the interviewer is most interested in
Okay
So why is he interested in this
Because how he has to be sure
That you will not become illegal immigrant to the united states
So if you will return to your home country
Exactly
So she has to be convinced that you're going to return to your home country
So how can you convince them basically by demonstrate in your ties
So showing the things that will pull you back to your home country
So if you take copy to support this being statements
But maybe your copy of your mortgage
Yeah like maybe your wedding certificate
Waiting certificate
I don't know
Even a letter from your office
From your job
So the shows that you have to return to your work
The more things
You bring the better
Even though the interviewer might not ask for for the documents okay
Just be it's better to be safe right
Exactly so come what the huge file for the things
Exactly i've had friends who a arririved to the embasy ya huge file
Ile docucument weren't asask to to show any of the documents right
But other interviewers will maybe asked it okay
So now let's listen to the dialogue again
And you'll hear how our travler answers these questions
So you're playing for ab to o visa
Where's your final destination
And what's purpose of your fiffifty states
I'm going to visit my brother
