AkBaR
i think that getting a visa really doesnt depend much on ur scores,ur univs,or ur financial docs.
it purely depends on how confidently u give him ur answers.
there r some things to keep in mind
..never give explanations (just answer what he asks )
..never argue with VO
...most imp never get afraid of VO...talk calmy but confidently...nervousness is natural
but if u are not confident.then u are out.
many ppl say how can u be so confident and calm in such a tense situation.
to be confident u have to take the burden off urselves that "visa is only chance for ur survival"
we shud think that visa is jus a chance or just a option ..its not everything...
if u accept this fact. ur confidence builds up and u will talk calmy without nervousness
as i did . he didnt ask me my marks,my financial docs or my any docs..i didnt even open my folder.
the secret is
VO doesnt know if u r genuine or not
but he gets his clue only from ur facial expressions and bodylanguage. they are trained to read peoples mind by judging their face value.
so be confident and always dress in light shades..never wear black pants and light shirts.instead wear casual light color pants and light color shirts.

vo:what is u r accades..
me:said(after this she was silent for 25sec i thought my visa is gone n she started typing in the computer)

me:said regarding my work exp..bla bla blah..after that she took one blue form n asked me to go to counter no 16 for further admin verification..filled form of 4 pages n icame bak home..n after few days i have received my passport with visa..:)

Jus send an email to fmjfee.SEVIS@dhs.gov

Visa Exp 09/04/2010
Hi folks,
I had given my interview 2day afternoon at 2pm. I had reached the consulate at 1 and was let in at 1:30. Guys seriously don't go too early, 45 mins to 1hour is more than enuf. Its too hot and there is nothing but a bus shelter n some trees to wait
outside. Anyways, as soon as I entered, there was a security check and from there I was directed to a counter. This was an Indian lady who checked my i20 n all and then she asked me to proceed to another counter. Here please keep in mind to get a good color print of the confirmation page. She had sent three ppl standing b4 me 'coz the bar-code was not recognosied by the machine. From there when I went to the next counter I was shocked. Last time v had to wait outside n take a token n wait for our chance to go 4 the interview, but this time it was a quickie. Direct after the initial checking of docs I was in d line for visa. There was a couple whose interview was going on n the VO took like bout 5 mins for them but he issued them a visa. In the meantime I got the chance to gulp down some water from the cooler over there. I saw ppl very hesitant to do that, but its better to drink rather than nt ans properly due to a parched throat rt..

I approached the window with a big smile.. This is important dudes,
helps you to control ur tension n hides ur nervousness and also
displays a positive attitude.

Me : Good Morning Sir, How r u?
While Saying this I passed the documents.

Vo : Why do u want to go to the US?
Me : I want to pirsue my MBA from Pittsburg State University.

Vo : Why did u choose this university?
Me : <>
Jus be confident about whatever u tell n do ur research
on the univ well beforehand.,

Vo : U said that u have a job experience.
Me : Yes sir, I have worked for about 2 years in XXXX

Vo : Ok, What was ur job?
Me : <>

cont...
Vo : U said it was for two years.
(Actually it was mentioned as 26 months on my DS forms)
Me : Yes sir, Well actually its a lil more than that.

Vo : What did u say to the officer last time?
(He asked this question exactly lik this, as if it was a casual talk)
Me : He had asked me pretty much the same questions and I had answered them in a similar way. I fulfilled all the requirements of the university and the american consulate here, but I guess I was hard on luck the last time.

Then he typed something and signed on my confirmation letter,
Then the golden words... :D Your application has been accepted,
you will recieve your passport in 7 working days.

I was very happy n I thanked him.

Thats it guys pretty much simple.

Now regarding my profile :
GMAT : 570
TOEFL : 111
And now for the main thing..
B.E : 60 % with 2X backlogs :D 2X.. no numbers mentioned but quite a lot :P

Jus wanna tell u that its all easy if u r confident and answer confidenty.
Unless or untill he sees the use of it, he will not ask for ur docs.
But prepare well for all the possible questions and yeah the visa stuff
that has been mailed to me by sai kiran in this forum was extremely useful as it has the answers to most of the questions.

All d best ppl...


BTW any1 going for summer from hyderabad. Jus wanna plan my travel. No necessarily
the same uni but still could travel most part together rt :)
If any1 gimme a call or scrap me. My no is 9885248018 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 9885248018 end_of_the_skype_highlighting

Iam going to Pittsburg State University.

hi, please help me

I was rejected twice for visa during fall 09.I have gone to visa wit NPU

My profile at the time of visa rejection

UG:63.25% wit 3 backlogs (2009 passed out)

GRE:960

Toefl:77
in both of my interviews i was little bit tensed....
they have rejected me on section 214 b

Now i Have Retaken Gre and Toefl and applied for fall 2010

got 1100 in Gre & 90 in Toefl

i am expecting admissions from

North West Missouri State University

Wright State University

among the two universities which university do u think is Better

I am planning to go for visa around may

what r the chances of getting visa in third attempt

Thanks in Advance

I had my visa interview on Feb 11 and it was very cool..

What i would like to suggest you is show a bank balance of your one year expenditure..

My one year expenses mentioned on I20 was around 26 lakhs..So i showed a bank balance of 28 lakhs...

Visa officer asked me how much savings u have then i said 28 lakhs..then she looked at the i20 and said u have so much money..laughing..and that the last question my visa approved..

There might be many reasons for one's rejection...and bank balanace is one of prime importance..

Better go with high bank balance and if possible show loan letter also...

All the best..

Me :( Entering to the window)
Good Morning Sir!

V.O. : Oh Good Morning!

V.O. : Which University?

V.O. :( As if he heard first time)
Oh where is it?

Me :In Bid rapids, Michigan.

V.O. : Why this University?(

Me : said....



V.O. : (Busy seeing my I-20 when I was answering and suddenly…….)
Are you 20 years of age?

Me : No Sir, I am 18 years & 5 months old.

V.O. : Oh remember it orally….!!

V.O. : (Busy seeing my Passport & calculating my birth years with calculator…….)
Yeah, you are right…...! It means you will be turning 19 after half an year, Am I right?

Me : Yes Sir, Right.

V.O. : When does your college start?

Me : 13th May, 2010. Summer Intake Sir.

@ hectic schedule:- Hey......if u want to change ur university I suggest u do it from here.....
1)You need to re-appear for ur VI.
2)You ll also have 2 repay ur MRV fees + VFS fees at the HDFC bank
3)SEVIS fee can be transfered.U will need to write an email to SEVP and tell them ur old SEVIS ID ur new one ,new university's name and ur particulars.It takes 1 day only to get the transfer done.
Visit the link for more info abt SEVIS transfer:-
http://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/faq7.htm#_Toc81222153
So I guess that sums up all wat u need to do!
Dnt wrry it aint too hard...I ve been through it so I thought I d help u out.
All the very best!
