Student Visa (F1, F2, M1, M2)

Hello people, I am so happy that my F2 dependent visa has been approved for USA. Finally I am going to meet my Husband and I am travelling in May most probably.
I read a lot of post from here before my scheduled interview as I was really nervous with sleepless nights. It was a like a nightmare. People experiences on this forum helped me a lot to get over the interview easily. I too thought of sharing my experience so people can get some use of the information.
My interview was at 7.50 Am and it started at 8.50 Am due to long waiting Que. I applied with my 4 month kid. I was really confused if I should bring my kid along or not as it wasn’t mandatory to bring a child below age 14. I was tensed too as he won’t allow me to give my interview properly and will cry a lot. I read many stories in which a lot of people Visa got rejected because VO got offended due to baby’s crying and stuff. But finally I decided to take him along. Unfortunately, my baby started crying the moment I entered the embassy. I was as nervous as he didn't stop crying. I was holding my kid along with my documents as they didn’t allow bringing anything inside the embassy which was really a tough job as and unfortunately I was the only one with a kid in the embassy that day.
Anyways, the VO asked me following questions:
VO: Hello ma'am.
Me: Hi and good morning ma'am
VO: Show me your passport and I 20's
Me: Given
VO: Did your husband applied from Pakistan or from USA?
Me: From Pakistan
VO: What are your qualifications?
Me: told
VO: you never felt like working somewhere after marriage?
Me: No
VO: OK, but did you ever worked somewhere before marriage?
Me: No
VO: Why? (Strange look) you have such a good degree.
Me: It’s because I got married as soon i completed my degree.
VO: (Grimed) and said, any plans to work in future or for higher studies?
Me: No not at all, it’s because i can’t leave my kid behind alone at home as you can see how naughty he is
VO: Laughed and said yes I can imagine how hard would be your life with a kid and without a husband.
Me: Yes ma’am, even he misses his dad.
VO: Give me 2 minutes I’m coming back.
That was the time I thought I’m rejected as she didn’t ask for my bank statement or anything else like marriage photos and other stuffs.
She came back, returned my I 20 and asked for my passports again and said, Congratulations your visa have been accepted. You can collect your passports in 2 working days
Me: Thank you ma’am with a smile and left.
OMG! That was the moment, I’m so happy, and I collected my Visa too today :)
So, my personal advice to everyone is to be confident and don’t panic and stop smiling, just don’t lie and tell everything confidently and honestly. Plus, show strong ties to your country.
And for those who are having kids and thinking not to take them, please take them as they want to see the applicant there even thought if it’s not mandatory. I got the Visa only because I took my child along and which gave a very good impression due to which they didn’t ask many questions from me nor asked for any other document. They get happy to see cute kids around which make them happy too and it diverts the direct attention from you.
Thank you, so much guys, I hope it help you guys :)
Bye!
