VO: Whatever you had explained so far, I don't think you will be eligible for the visa today since your experience is less. I am sorry (about to stamp it as REJECTED)

Me: Explained why I am the suitable person for the position. Also highlighted my earlier stay in the US and highlighted my strengths according to the project.

I talked boldly and explained why I am the best suite for the position.
