Time : 8:30AM but Visa Interview goes at 10AM as there was a technical issue and we were asked to get our Photographs.. 2*2 size to be precise... so I suggest everyone to have at least a 2*2 size photograph with them in-hand so that you need not wait or stand for hours in queue.
Counter - 14 (Approved and Rejected two visas before me, both F1)
VO: Sighed me to come forward
Me: Good Morning
VO: He didn't respond
Me: Hope you are doing well?! (looking at his face)
VO: Yes, I am doing great but my computer isn't!
(We both smiled looking at each other and they say that first impression is the best impression and yes it was the best!!)
VO: (Asked me to place my left hand fingers, started questioning) Which University?
Me: UIS
VO: Which course?
Me: CS
VO: What specialization?
Me: Network Security
VO: GRE?
Me: 291
VO: Father?
Me: Government employee
Me: Answered rapidfire
VO: I am keeping your passport. (with serious face)
Me: Thank you so much! (seriously)
Yet it was a nice experience though and there is no way VO is gonna ask you out of the blue, just stick to the point and answer. That's how everything falls into place.
All the best!
