B2 Visa Experience - Hyderabad, India
I have been planning to visit the US for quite a while and I thought now I must go since I have been to almost all famous countries in Europe, Asia and Middle East.

A little bit of background about me - I work as a product manager for a tech startup in Bangalore. I am 26, Single and do not own a house and neither I have ton of money saved.

I was a bit skeptic on my application as one can say I do not have strong ties to India, but since I have been to 26 countries and have never overstayed on any visa, I thought of taking a chance and apply.

I applied in Hyderabad for a B2 Tourist visa. I arrived at 9:45 AM for a 10:00 AM interview appointment. I was in the interview queue within 10 minutes of entering the embassy after going through a security check.

After about 10 minutes, my turn came and here's how the interview went:

VO : Hello there! Why do want to go to US?
ME : Good morning, I would like to go as tourist for 10 days to spend my holidays in November.
