I had my US visa interview at Chennai recently...
Almost every friend who had managed to secure a student visa had told me that the experience would be a pleasant one. I must admit that this was indeed the case! (To a large extent at least). However, during my slot, I saw a fair number of rejections for the F-1 visa (30% would be my guess). Though taken aback by what I saw, I managed to retain my poise. Following was my interview experience...
VO: How long with Nokia?
Me: 2.5 years
VO: 60k USD...crazy or what!
Me: Unfortunately yes...but I hope the experience would be worth it.
VO: Do your parents think you are worth all this money?
Me (Slightly agitated): I think I am worth it. My parents have no say with this. I think I am quite competent to take choices in life. I sincerely want to do my MBA.
VO: You think you are worth it....hmm....
(Looks at GMAT, Degree Cert...Types something for 1 min...harrowing time for me)
VO: You are all set...Chapel Hill is a nice place and UNC is a good one!
Me: Thanks and Good-Bye.
After the interview, I cannot but re-iterate the importance of the following factors...
- Reputation of the university / school.
- Good test scores.
- Sound reasons to pursue higher education.
