Every thing was done in 30 seconds span and he didn't even check a single document except for passport and I20. I was worried if he asks for siblings cause I have one in US under OPT. Be confident. The more level of confidence the less time of interview. Also please remember to have a look at your 1st year subjects cause I saw one officer asking that question having CMM in her hand. All The Best !
