I want to share my experience at the chennai visa consulate for admission to fall 2013. I had scheduled my interview at 730 am on may X , 2013. ( remember to schedule your OFC appointment one day before). I was allowed to go inside the consulate after a series of security checks.
my profile:: undergrad : 85% , gre - 315 , ielts - 8.
I had to first get my documents verified at a counter when you enter inside. Then you undergo fingerprint scanning. I was asked to wait in the visa lobby and i was waiting for my token number to appear on the screen. My heart was pumping faster and faster. My token number appeared and i went to counter 22. The visa officer was a beautiful lady and was Indian . ( There was a US VO in Counter 23 )
Me: good morning mam (with a smile)
VO : Good morning , how r u ? ( even she was smiling)
Me: am fine mam , hw r u doing ?
VO : am gr8

me : sure mam. (passed my passport , was very anxious to know wat her next ques wud be)
(she was typing sumthng)
VO: ur i20 ?
( i passed my i 20, i made sure that i keep a kind of professional smile )
VO : which university
me : told
VO: who is funding you
me : My parents and education loan will cover my entire two years of fee mam. ( she was continuously typing sumthng, didnt even look at me)
VO: what are you doing now ?
me : am stiil studying mam ,my course will be completed in june 2013 . I can show you course completion certificate.
VO: No , that is not required . Your visa is approved enjoy your stay in the US. (she was smiling)
( i couldnt believe that she said it so soon)
me : Thank u so much ma ( with a big smile)
VO: no problem (smiling)
It was jus awesome experience. No documents checked. She didnt ask for any proofs , no gre score card asked for .
Be confident and be urself. Hope every1's interview goes in the same way.
