• F1 Visa Question at Hyderabad Consulate about using Consultancy for University Selection

    Sorry for late update of my visa experience. Here is my Visa Interview experience at Hyderabad Consulate. Visa Officer asked about consultancy. - Aaron Kantepudi

    Date:-2nd DEC,2013
    Consulate:-Hyderabad
    Time:-8.00 a.m
    Token no:-E103
    Counter No:-16
    Profile:GRE:-283;IELTS:6.0;U.G:70%(7 BL).
    Status:-Approved

    I was there at the consulate by 6.45 a.m. By 7.30 a.m they started the queue. I was the first person in the queue. Checked in at 7.35 a.m. I was waiting for the token numberat the waiting hall. Around 8.05 a.m they started the issuing of token . I thought i would be the first person but E100 was given to other person nest dependent visa E101,E102 then it was mine E103. After the checking moved inside and was sitting beside E100 issued person. He was like changing his slang and was talking good english. After that at 8.20 a.m the token numbers where flashing on the screen.

    Now serving E100-counter 16,E101-counter 16,E102-counter-16,E103-Counter 16.

    So many of them told me that counter 16 is too dangerous .

    E100-Rejected
    E101-Approved
    E102-Approved

    Then my turn.
