Visitor Visa - B2
Fields marked as * are required.
Visa approved
I just got back from an interview for a B2 visa in Islamabad. Visa was approved and the interview was super chilled out.
My profile:
Did my MBA from the USA in 2011 and worked in New York for 2 years before returning to Pakistan.
The wait for the visa officer is quite long. I suggest taking a book like I did. The staff sent me to the Urdu window even though I asked for English. A caucasion American lady was my VO
VO: (In perfect urdu): Aap amerika kyun jana chahtay ho?
Me: I'm sorry but I'd prefer to do the interview in English. Your Urdu is probably better than mine.
VO: Sure. Lol! Why do you want to go to the US?
Me: My business school in the United States is celebrating its 100th year anniversary and they have called all the alumni including myself for a celebration. I thought it would be a great time to catch up with my former class mates.
VO: When is the event, the homecoming?
Me: January next year
VO: Have you been outside the US before?
Me: I went to Canada in April to pick up my Permanent Residence card and I was in the US from 2009 to.. 2011
VO: Yes. I know about the US dates thanks.
Types for a few mins.
VO: Where do you work?
Me: I run my own business. We have a branch in Lahore and one in Islamabad.
Types for a few mins.
VO: Your visa will be ready next week. Enjoy your trip!
Me: Thank you
She never asked to see my bank statement, company letter or invitation letter from my university. Though I had all those ready.
I noticed a lot of people were getting rejected. One of the big reasons people get rejected is that candidates choose to have the interview in English when they cannot speak the language. Don't assume that having the interview in English will improve your chances of getting a visa.. if your English is not good it will harm you. I would never interview in Urdu because my Urdu is terrible.
