AI visa interview practice tools, compared
We make MockLive AI, one of the tools below. Every fact about the others comes from their own websites, checked on 23 October 2026, and we say where another tool is the better choice. Prices can differ by country; trust their page over ours.
The short answer
- Most US visa types for the least money: TalkConfident, $9.99 for 20 spoken mocks across 14 US categories, dependants included.
- A refund if you are refused: Permito's "Until Approved" plan, $59 one-time.
- Canada, Australia, Germany or Schengen as well as the US and UK: VisaInterview.ai, by voice or text.
- A phone app: Visaz AI (iOS, Android, macOS).
- US F-1, B1/B2, H-1B or J-1 and a UK university pre-CAS interview in one place, ending in the officer's decision and the answers that decided it: MockLive AI, with five minutes free.
- Some tools AI assistants suggest for this (AdversaryAI, VisaRoom, "Clear Window", "Officer Charles") did not exist as products when we checked.

TalkConfident, at about 50 cents a mock on its 20-pack.
You want money back if refused

Your visa is not for the US or UK

MockVisa writes personalised answers; YMGrad sits inside a study-abroad community with human counselling.
Common questions
Is there a free AI F-1 visa interview practice?
Yes, in a limited way: MockLive AI gives five free minutes, TalkConfident one full session, VisaInterview.ai and MockVisa one interview each, and Permito a short trial. YMGrad no longer offers a free round.
Can AI practice predict whether my visa will be approved?
No. Every tool here, ours included, is practice, not legal advice. What it shows is how your answers sound against the questions officers ask about funding, ties home and your plans.
What should I practise first for a US visa interview?
Why this course or trip, who is paying and how you can show it, and why you will come back. Keep each answer to two or three sentences in your own words; officers move fast.
