As we know, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is knocking at the door. It’s going to start from June 2nd to June 29th. This time it’s going to be hosted by the USA & West Indies. This is the first time in T20 World Cup history that 20 teams are participating in this tournament. There will be 55 matches. For the first time, Canada, Uganda, and the USA have qualified for the T20 World Cup.

How can you watch live matches in the USA?

Visa : You have to collect the visa for the U.S. For that, you have to go to the official website of the U.S. government.

Passport : Your passport should be with you. And make sure it is valid for at least 6 months.

• Apply for a tourist visa B1/B2 (DS-160). Fill out that form very carefully because the information you provide will be asked during the interview. The fee for applying for a tourist visa is $185.

For Biometric : Now you have to undergo biometric. When you go for biometric, don’t forget to have these things:

• Copy of your appointment letter

• One photograph taken within the last six months
• Your current passport and any previously issued passport containing your U.S. Visa.

Documents for the Interview: Now you have to face the last and final procedure, which is the interview. It’s taking time nowadays to get called for an interview, so you have to try to get this opportunity as quickly as possible. So, you have to take these things with you:

Make sure you have the ticket for the match you are going to watch and your return flight ticket.

What type of questions may an interviewer ask?

 

I have shortlisted some of the questions that have been asked on the interview board recently. Actually, it depends on the interviewer, but these are common questions he might ask you:

• What is the purpose of your visit to the US?
• Provide details about the cricket match you plan to attend in the US?
• Which dates have you selected for the match?
• How many days are you willing to stay in the US?
• Have you attended any international sporting events in the past?
• What arrangements have you made for accommodation during your visit for the cricket match?
• Have you researched the rules & regulations regarding entry & stay in the US?
• Do you have any additional documents that prove that you are going to watch the match?
• How much do you like cricket?

You should prepare yourself to answer these questions. Actually, you have to convince your interviewer through the answers to his questions.
