H4 visa experience- Jan 2019 , H4 to F1 visa experience- August
Hi guyzz, I want to share my visa experiences with as within this year I have attended two visa interviews and changed my status as well. Both of them Approved !

H4 to F1 visa:

I was very nervous and unpredictable as it was second visa interview within 8 months of time span for two different kinds of visa. Though I was prepared well for my interview but still there was always a glimpse of rejection fear in me. I had to prepare for both for F1 visa questions as well as for the questions related to my H4 and spouse.Furthermore, as I was changing my major for Masters so I had to be well versed with my strong reasons to do so.

Date: 2/08/2019
Status: Approved
Place: Mumbai Consulate
Time : 8.45 amd Slot.

As I entered the waiting room I could only see everybody dressed up in formals with only I20 and passport in their hand. The room was full with f1 visa applicants and on each and every counter there was 3 to 4 rejection v/s 1 approval. My turn came in.

Me: Good Morning Sir .
VO: Smiled (not sure though if he responded to my gesture and had also rejected a F1 visa before me)

Passed him my passport and I20. (Typing)

VO: Have you applied for a visa before?
Me: Yes, I had applied for H4 visa. (Typing)

VO: So do you stay in US:
Me: Yes

VO: How long have you been on H4?
Me: Answered (Typing)

VO: Where do you stay in US?
Me: Answered.(Typing)

VO: Where does your husband works?
Me: Answered.(Typing)

VO: Do you have a bachelor's degree ? In what ?
Me: Answered.

VO: Why did you choose this course?
Me: Sir, the reason for me choosing this course is I have 4 years of experience in Healthcare Industry at a leadership level. I was working as Senior Team Leader in xzy company. I worked.......(Interrupted in between and asked about my responsibilities)
