She approved one H1 and rejected one H1 before me
She said hi and I said hi ma'am with a normal tone and a smile.
I will write the conversation here. Hope it helps.
When did u pass u r graduation?
I said 2012
What have u been doing since then?
I said I have been working as a project engineer in Wipro and I have worked in Cognizant as well
Then she asked a tricky question....
What made u want to back to school again?
I said I wanted to be a Business Analyst which requires me to do MS and to get into a better position
Then she asked me in which sense does it make you feel better....
I said I want to improve my curriculum and I said something like it gives me a better designation...
Is this the only university did u apply....
I said I have applied for 5 universities.....
She asked to tell me one other university name....
I said Florida International University
Then she asked me why don't u want to go to Florida?
I said I was expecting more business courses
And NIU offering more....
Then she asked me about how many courses will u take....
I said 21 credit hours
Then she asked who is sponsoring you and about my siblings...
I told my parents are my sponsors and some extra information not revealing much of finances though. I told her about my siblings and what they do.
There was one question about how did I select this university
I said I have done some research and selected universities based on my GRE score
Finally she said "Your VISA is approved, have a safe journey to USA"
I said thanks ma'am and left with so much relief.
I may have missed some of the conversation here and order of the questions may not be accurate. Just be confident in your answers and do not flutter while speaking, and don't forget to smile,Good luck everyone :)
