Students have started attending F1 US visa interview for Fall 2012. Here is the visa experience of a student.
Let me start with a important points to attend visa interview
Well I had my F1 Visa interview today and this is how it went. I doubt you will even call it a Visa interview after you read it, but hey, I am definitely not complaining
VO: Hi, step forward please!
Me: Hi, Good morning, how are you?
VO: Ah, good morning, I am great, thanks! How about you?
Me: I am doing great, thanks
Then someone came upto him and asked him something. He told me "one sec", switched off the microphone and started talking to this other guy. He was talking for about 2 mins and I was freaking out on the other side of the damned glass window! After what seemed like an eternity, he switches the microphone on.
VO: Sorry, for the delay! The crowd is just too much!
Me: Not a problem! I totally understand!
VO: So, how many colleges did you apply to?
Me: 15 colleges!
VO: And you chose..(goes through my I-20) Purdue University..okay! And you are gonna do..(goes through my I-20 again) Mechanical engineering?
Me: Yes!
VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: My dad.
VO: And what does he do?
Me: He is the President of a shipping agency in Chennai!
VO: You sure he can sponsor you, right?
Me: Yes! I can show you the financial docs I have here if you want...?
VO: No, no! That's okay! I believe you.You were rejected for a US visa last year?
Me: Yes, for a tourist visa!
VO
with a smile on his face) Your visa is approved and should reach you in a week! Have fun at Purdue!
Me: Thanks a lot, have a nice day!
