A really tough one. The embassy will be looking at 2 things; Firstly, do they think you have any intentions of working there illegally? Secondly, do they think you will look to stay in the US permanently? This is simply because the US Visa is for 10 years. I think it's good just to be honest. That way, when they ask you stupid questions, at least you have the facts at hand to justify you going there. Be prepared with the 'how will you support yourself while you are in the US' question. That is easily worth 50 points. Get that right, you should do fine. It’s a tough one. A really tough one.

Then how should i answer them if they ask me this question? i'm postgrad student currently and at the same time, work with hospital as part time staff, in occupation column, what should i write (if as student, no pay they reject), (if as working staff, less pay, they also reject).. then how? Kindly advise whoa.. i going to US to attend a friend’s convocation, i heard if we tell the embassy we have relative/friends in US, most probably they won’t approve the visa, right?

They are not the same thing. A passport means you have a pass to leave your country. A visa is required to enter another country. We're lucky to have Malaysian Passports because there are many countries which we don't have to apply visas for. We don't need visas for ASEAN countries, all of Europe and most Central American countries. For Australia and China, we can get visas on-line. It's only US and Canada (I think) that we need to go embassies and apply. Ok, I only now noticed your blonde question. They are not the same thing.

Ok, I have a "blonde" question for you. Why do u need a visa if u already have a passport? Aren't those 2 the same? No? I’ll definitely keep this in mind.
