Hi.
I attended the visa interview on 21st Dec 2017 in Islamabd counslate and it got rejected. This was my first attempt. I would like you to tell me where did I go wrong as the interview went very we just the last question.
VO: hi good Morning
Me: good morning with a smile.
VO: y u want to go to US
Me: to attend the Intl Education Conference in Washington DC
VO: so what do you do?
Me: I am an Education Counsellor and work with foriegn universities for International student recruitment.
VO: What are your other duties as Education consuler?
Me: explained my duties in detail
Vo: alright. With a smile. Looked satisfied with my answer.
VO: have u travelled anywhere else before?
Me: yes. Travelled and lived in the UK for 4 years.
VO: looked at my UK visa on passport and looked satisfied.
VO: how long have u been working as an Education Counsellor?
Me: over 4 years. (Started typing on computer for 2 mins.)
VO: so where exactly is the conference taking place?
Me: University of California Washington DC
VO: looked at me with surprise and eyebrows risen. University of California is not in WashingtonDC. It is in California.
Me: well, according to my knowledge it is in Washington DC aswell. I have the invitation you can have a look at it.
VO: read the complete invitation letter for 2 mins and typed in the computer again for 2 mins.
VO: sorry I cannot issue you a visa and handed me the yellow letter.
Me: was taken by a shock. Couldn’t believe it’s been rejected. Ok thanks and came back.
My interview went very well apart from the last question where he raised his eyebrows. And what I think is that he didn’t knew that the University of California has a Campus in Washington DC aswell. That was the question after which his mood changed and he didn’t looked satisfied. He read the complete invitation letter aswell. Before that he didn’t ask me for any document.
Now I am confused and I want to reapply and convince the visa officer that University of California has a Washington DC Campus aswell. I have obtained a further letter from the university which confirms this further.
I would request you all to give me some advice as I donot know what should i do. I am sure the last question created a doubt in the VO mind. Should I reapply straight away as the conference is in Feb 2018 and I have time to reapply.
Please help and guide me with your experience as what should I do.
Will be waiting to hear from you all experienced people.
