Got my visa after first time application
My brother works as a pilot and the plan for me to apply for the US visa with my parents was one that had been brewing for a long time. However, as they say, there are many slips between the cup and the lips. And we had to postpone our appointments twice before we could finally go for it.
I was very worried before the interview appointment as I am a 27-year-old unmarried girl and I was applying with my parents who are both retired. We don't have any close relatives in the USA either.
Our interview was scheduled for 8 AM on the 16th of July 2014 at the Mumbai consulate. We reached the consulate at 8 AM (which I admit is rather late). However, on speaking to the guards, they asked us to jump the queue. On entering the security check area, my dad had the remote car keys with him and so all three of us had to go back outside. Luckily a stranger agreed to hold on to our keys and we re-entered the consulate. To our bad luck, my dad had forgotten that he had a pen drive in his wallet and we had to go back out yet again to throw out the pen drive. Finally, it was third time lucky and we could go past security into the interview area.
After waiting for a bit, as they were sending only those who had requested for a regional language interview in, we were finally allowed into the interview section. Our fingerprints were recorded and we stood in queue for the interview. While we were observing the interview, we saw there was one VO who seemed to be rejecting a lot of people. To our luck, we were sent to him. Up close though, he was really good looking and I couldn't help grinning when I saw how cute he was!
The interview was short and sweet and went as follows:
Me: Hi, Good Morning
VO: Good Morning! Can I see your passports please?
VO: What is your purpose of travel?
Me: My brother is a pilot and he gets flight tickets, so we are planning a trip to the US and Canada later this year.
VO: Have you travelled to the US before?
Me: No, we haven't.
VO: Why did you wait till now?
Me: Well, my parents have retired and they feel this is the right time for them to travel and see the world. As for me...
The VO interuppted and said, "Your visa approved. You will get your passports in 3 days. Enjoy your trip."
And that was it. He did not ask my mum or dad a single question, neither did he take a look at a single one of our documents. The entire interview took less than 60 seconds and our passports too were ready for pick-up the same day.
The only disappointment was that I couldn't look at the VO more as he had a really gorgeous smile! :)
My sense of relief over not having any more stress over the US visa is huge. We are sorted for 10 years now.
Personally, I feel that the key was that we answered his questions confidently and without haste. Dressing well too is always a bonus.
Good luck to everyone applying. And thanks Immihelp, the information provided by your website has been invaluable! Carry on the good work.
