There is no shortcut to passing your US visa interview as an international student applying for an F-1 student visa. A successful US visa interview requires preparation, just like with your US university application and the other parts of the visa application process. To prepare, you can practice answering your American embassy interview questions for a student visa.
Additionally, the Consular Officer may ask any details/documents pertaining to the eligibility criteria and the travel plan. Ensure that you are ready with the documents and know the details of it. Depending on the location of the United States Embassy/Consulate, make sure you arrive at the address well before the scheduled interview time. Since you will need to go through security checks, etc. you may lose a significant amount of time before reaching your turn. Most of the visa questions are centered on the category of the visa, duration of stay, applicant’s nationality, however, these are few of the most common questions asked during to the United States Visa interview.
Here are some real interview Experinces
Clearing a visa interview is not difficult; however, if you didn't perform well, then you might have to face rejection, even if you have an excellent academic record.

Conversation 2
Approved
Mexican VO
I was like super late and also mistakenly happened to print the incorrect I-20. Reached embassy at 1:20 ( my time was allocated at 1:30) quickly went to the shop for printing I-20 and requested them for keeping my wallet and phone. Then, I proceeded towards the embassy.
The visa rate was 60/40 as per my observation.
Bald VO and the short VO was giving 1/2 green slip but Mexican was giving yellow matra.
After biometrics I was sent to Mexican VO. I was kinda nervous but anyways had to control myself. The girl before me was rejected then VO called me.
VO: Namastey! Pass me your documents
Me: Namastey Officer and Goodafternoon
And then I passed the documents
VO: How aerospace from this uni will help in your future.
Me: Well officer, from this course I will be learning all about designing, building, internal computing systems, safety measures, navigation, aircraft maintenance etc for the flying vehicles. I will learn about the mechanics of how an aircraft work through practical or theoretical training in topics such heat and combustion, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, aircraft structure and so forth. Also officer, there are not so many experts in this field in Nepal. So, the knowledge from this university will help me stand out once I return to Nepal.

VO: ok boy I am issuing your visa. There are many scholarships which you can apply to. Also donot work part time there it is illegal and you will be departed.
