My VI was about 90 seconds. He din't check even one document of mine. all my effort on documents gone waste
A girl before me was granted a visa and this gave me a little confidence
Visa officer was a guy who never smiled throughout my interview. He Just kept typing and typing all the way
I constantly tried to maintain eye contact but he only made eye contact only 4 or 5 times
Remember, I had to put a smile on the face throughout
My VI went something like this:
Me: Gd mrng sir ....with a smile on the face
VO: Gd mrng. pls pass on the documents
I gave him passport, i20 etc. all pinned together
VO: When did u passout
Me: 2012 sir
VO: Why Cleveland
Me: I read about Dr.X who did research in embedded systems, which is my area of interest.So I believe that he can help me after going there
VO: What other colleges u applied for?
Me: Oklahoma,Sjsu, sunyit, tamuk and Cleveland ....tell full name to VO not shortcuts
VO: What admits u got from these?
Me: sunyit, tamuk, Cleveland
VO: why opting Cleveland over others?
Me: Sir I checked the ranking of Cleveland on some websites and found that it’s better than sunyit and tamuk
VO: What’s ur gre

VO: How can u study in USA when u had 6 bl’s here in b.tech
(i was a bit tensed here and thought he was going to reject me. But it din't show on my face and i maintained my tone)
Me: Sir I cleared them in first 2 years of b.tech....... he interrupted me....
VO: No I am asking how can u study in USA when u had 6 bl’s here in b.tech, bcoz education in usa is tough
Me: Sir in 3rd and 4th yr of my b.tech I scored good marks, and after that I scored good marks in gre and ielts too, so I have confidence that I can get good score in cleveland st univ also
VO: Ok, who are sponsoring you?
Me: My family
VO: What do ur parents do?
Me: My father is Xxxx and my mother is Xxxx
VO: What’s their income?

VO: Cleveland is a cold city, how can u live there? (Oh thanks so much for his concern I thought)
Me: Not a problem sir, I can adjust
VO: Ok, I am giving u visa, u can collect ur passport after 2 days
Me: thank you sir
I couldn't stand in one place...
Felt I was very lucky...
Then took long and quick steps towards the exit and then to my dad waiting outside.
