My opinion and the primary reason for the visa approval?
Answering in a short &crisp way ie., not being too elaborative, unless it is required.
My suggestions for clearing this interview,
Don’t get tensed.
Please don’t assume that, VO doesn’t know anything about the tool, so instead of saying the same answer as everyone does, “I architected/designed the tool” , Please say that, you architected/designed a particular functionality or enhancement in the tool. This will make them feel that, you are genuine about what you have done.
Listen to the question carefully. If you are unable to understand the question, ask them to repeat the question. Please don’t take chances by feeling bad in asking them to repeat the question.
Do remember the purpose of the Visa you’re applying, so whatever responses you give in some or other way should be related to the specialized tool that you have chosen.
