Hi All,
First of all, this is a great forum to share experiences! Really appreciate the creators.
I'd like to share my experience of the US VISA application. This was my first time and thankfully, it was approved.
Here's the excerpt of the interview:
VO: Passport please
Me: Sure
VO: Why do you want to go to the United States?
Me: Business Meetings
VO: Where are you going in the United States?
Me: Palo Alto, California
VO: How many days will you be there?
Me: 15 days
VO: What do you do here?
Me: I run my own Software Services Business (stuttering)
VO: What is your personal annual income?
Me: xxx
VO: Why 15 days?
Me: There are a lot of new features coming in for our product, so, a lot of meetings and a tight schedule.
VO: Have you been to the United States before?
Me: No ma'am.
VO: Your VISA has been approved! Thank you and have a pleasant travel to the United States!
Me: Thank you ma'am.
It was so quick! Didn't even realize that I was there before I was out of the consulate.
The key thing here is that I was extremely well prepared, confident and up to the point. Didn't go on rambling about what I'd be doing there and so on.
I was still a little pessimistic after my stuttering (god knows why I stuttered when I answered all the other questions properly!) and I had not entered some details in the DS-160 form.
My advice is, be well prepared, carry all the necessary documents, have a couple of mock interviews with your peers, have a list of expected questions and answer them, practise the answers to be crisp and clear.
Most importantly though, be calm & have the right intentions, there's no reason why you wouldn't get an approval.
Your anxiety definitely rubs off on how you perform in the interview. Don't worry about the consequences, it's not a big deal if you don't get it the first time, don't be desperate.
PS: There's a lot of negative hype about this process but I found it extremely clean and clear. The VISA officers are smart people, well trained, objective and they can understand or at least try to guess your intentions correctly most of the time. Be honest and things will work out.
Good luck!
