B1 Visa approved
Hi All,

My B1 Visa got approved yesterday. I was waiting to return to Bangalore to post my experience.
My interview was scheduled at 9:15 AM. After my documents were verified, I was asked to wait for my turn in the B1 interview queue. The VO was the same person who conducted my L1 Blanket interview and rejected my visa. I was super nervous. As I waited for my turn, I saw a couple of rejections just ahead of me. One of the guys stupidly told the VO that he was going to do some design.
When I was called for the interview, I greeted him with a smile and said "Hello! How are you doing". I did not understand a word of what he said after that.
He asked me to place my right middle finger on the finger print scanner. I paused for a moment, though which finger was my right middle finger and then placed it(He can ask us to place any finger in the finger print scanner). I think placing the right finger creates an impression on the VO. I may be wrong, but I personally think the interviewers are kind of personality readers and may imply something if we place the wrong finger, so better pause for a second and think through it before placing the finger.
Now for my interview questions.
VO: Where are you traveling:
Me: Livonia, Michigan
VO: For how long
Me 10 weeks
VO: Do you have a travel plan. Can you show me.(This question is kind of ambiguous because my DS-160 says that I don't have a travel plan. He may have asked the question to verify something)
Me: No. I don't have a travel plan.

The VO scribbled something and said something that I did not understand.
Me: Excuse me
VO: Your visa has been approved.<I didn't understand the second part of what he said but it did not matter as he kept my visa.>

The accent of the VO is not American and the accent seemed like Russian or Eastern European so the difficulty in understanding.

All the best to all of you.
