Always Give answers in a diplomatic way.
VO - ok sir, I approve your Visa & returned the I-20 & told me that you will be requiring the I-20 form at USA airport. Please keep it safely.
Not even a single document was checked by the VO except my passport & I-20.
Be confident & have a smiling face
Dress up properly in a semi casual way with clean shave(boys) & polished shoes.
Its neither tough to go through the Visa nor that much easy also !!!
Best Luck for the Interviews !!!
