REASON FOR BACKLOGS

Generally students keep on saying to VO, that they are not feeling well at that time. etc.
Even VO's joked on this saying, kindly give some other reason, we are getting bored to
listen this not feeling well, time and again. Tell me some other reason.

One of the best answer many people tried is, though they got backlogs, ultimately they
have finished the degree within the stipulated time of 4 years or as per the regular
academic plan. So backlogs are not to be taken as total failures. Sometimes that answer
fetched the visa, but at times VO's were reluctant to listen anything.



Some people told, initially they have faced some trouble with subject, but after backlog,
they put good effort to overcome that difficulty and come out with flying colors in that
particular backlog or backlogs. Here they tried to show the VO, that, though they had
weakness in their seriousness of studies, but they overcame that hurdle. Which proves to
a VO, students are trying to cope up with difficulties becoming successful, which
is one facet of professional attitude. As long as one can show that attitude, Visa is not a
problem. The key here is we are just human beings, susceptible to weaknesses. But by
recognizing the problems, we are trying to overcome it. If we are able to convey this to
VO, definitely visa will be yours.



If you are good at interview skills and has positive attitude, you can definitely make your
point with VO.
Hope this is useful for you all.
Chetan, Take your 10th & 12th Marks lists. In one or two cases VO asked to see even
10th and 12th marks lists to see his overall studies performance. They are just two
certificates and taking them is not a problem at all. Nobody's sure in which way the
interview takes its course. Isn't it ?.



There are no standard ANSWERS for visa interview questions.
As the same answer may fetch you a visa or rejection. It happened many a times. No
Guarantees. So no standard ANSWERS for visa interview questions. We will try to
provide some hints. basing on that prepare your own ANSWERS.

Q1. Why were you rejected before?
This will be as per the sheet given to you. No Hanky Panky here. Just tell the reasons
ticked in that sheet. Go by rule here.

Q2. About my backlogs (I HAVE 10)?
There's no exact answer for this. One clue is to show you have somewhat improved over
the time and if you finished the course in 4 years straight, say though at times you faced
some difficulties, but you completed the same well within stipulated time. It shows your
commitment towards studies. You have to stress on this.

Q3. What is the proof that you'll come back to INDIA?
Nobody will have a perfect and fitting answer for this. You may say convincingly, show
to VO that your course has good future career plans in India and you just want to
upgrade your skills through your MS Program and want to do something meaningful to
India after completion of course etc.

Q4. Why only USA, this particular University?
You have to give the benefits of USA study in general but relevant to your course as
whats happening in US universities right now in your chosen area and talk about in
length why you applied and found that particular university well suited for your course
interest, your chosen area, research going on, faculty specialties, articles, and materials
published by the faculty in your chosen area etc. use only subject and research jargon in
your little talk.


Q5. When you have enough money, why do u need loan?
If you are decided to go with showing loan to VO, try to say - You may not avail the loan
right now. As you had enough funds right now, but if anything may go wrong with funds,
thats why you want the loan option as an open one. Just in case only. Because once you
go to USA, it may be difficult to go through the loan procedure at a later time, while in
study. That's why you are showing loan as you want to be truthful to VO , even you got
full funds readily available.

Hope this helps you in your visa.
Wish you all the best.
Don't forget to post your interview experience to our group. It will be helpful to others.
