My Interview Experience
Got my visa on 6th of Feb. This forum helped and I am appreciative of that. Thanks.
My background:
MS in USA, Intern for 2 years at same company, full-time job offered after graduation, majored in Biomedical Engineering (BS and MS). Direct hire.
Interview at Hyderabad consulate.
Lost original HDFC receipt that I had used to make VIsa appointment, emailed consulate and they said I needed to BUY a new receipt (They do not give duplicates, period.) Therefore I bought a new receipt and proceeded with the same appointment date as per usual. No issues.
Hyd consulate has a very long wait time for all the initial stages that lead up to the actual interview. So be prepared for long waits and hordes of people.
Tips: Do not bullshit the VO, be direct and totally frank. Have all necessary docs, you never know what they ask.
My interview:
VO: Hi Good morning.
Me: Hi Good morning.
VO: Docs please.
ME: Sure
VO: Have you ever had a B1 Visa?
Me: Nope.
VO: HIghest degree?
ME: Master of Science in Engineering.
VO: UNiversity?
ME: YYYY
VO: Where do you get the best Indian food in US?
Me: San Francisco ;)
VO: Haha I totally agree, I am from around there.
Me: Me too!
VO: Read white pamphlet?
Me: No.
VO: Visa approved, will be mailed out to you in the next few days. Have a nice day.
Me: You too, thanks.
No docs asked apart from passport and application confirmation page.
