I have applied for a F1 VISA & I had appointments on 19th
july and 2nd August but both times my VISA has been
rejected due to unknown reasons I'm posting my conversation
with VO both times
1st appointment 19 July
Me: Good morning sir.
VO: Hi.
VO: Why do you want to go to IIT?
Me: This institute provides one of the best courses in
Mechanical Engineering. It has very good study atmosphere
especially the faculty that is highly qualified. Most
importantly It has very good student to faculty ratio ie.
10:1 that is highly favorable for student’s studies.
VO: Which other universities have you applied to?
Me: I have applied to Purdue, USC….( I was telling about
other 2 universities also, but he interrupted)
VO: Why not Purdue?
Me: Coz I’ve got a rejection from there.
VO: And what about USC?
Me: I’ve got rejected there too. Also, I’ve applied to 2
other universities whose decisions are still awaited they
are SUNY Buffallo and Texas A&M.
VO: What are your qualifications?
Me: I’ve done Civil Engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia
University.
VO: Can I see your marksheets please?
Me: Sure ( I gave him my neatly clipped marksheet bundle..)
VO: Do you have any backlogs?
Me: No
VO: Where are the marks? I’m just seeing the grades..
Me: They just provide us with these grades and there is a
CPI at the end.
(I was thinking I got my VISA but he returned all my forms
back along with some US embassy brochure and replied…)
VO: Thank you..you don’t qualify for the US VISA this time.
( I maintained my composure and asked..)
Me: Can you tell me the reason please?
VO: Read the brochure.
( I was feeling devastated but I smiled back and said..)
Me: Thank you.
2nd appointment 2 August
Me: Hello sir, How r u..
VO: Fine, Where r u going?
Me: Illinois Institute of Technology
VO: Why IIT?
Me: The courses required for MS in mechanical Engineering
at IIT are very much related to what have i done in my
undergrads, there are subjects like thermodynamics,
engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, mechanics of
materials that i've already studied, so definitely it will
be a plus point and also its faculty is very good and
student to faculty ratio is 10:1 that is highly favorable.
VO: R u working somewhere?
Me: Yes, I'm working in Vimtech infrastructure pvt ltd as a
technical supervisor.
VO: What is your percentage?
Me: Sir we have a grading system in our university and
different weightage is assigned to each grade and weighted
mean is calculated that is called as CPI ie cumulative
percentage index and i've a cpi 6.3/10.
VO: That is a quite low.
Me: No sir, there is a formula given at the back of
marksheet which calculates my %age as 64.2
VO: Show me your marksheets.
Me: Sure
VO: Do u have any backlogs?
Me: No, Sir
VO: You have a lot of C grades.(He returned my documents
back and said)
VO: You need to prove that u r a credible student.
GRE: 1330( Q770;V560) TOEFL 96 University: Illinois
Institute Of Technology
There's one more thing that i need to tell u that i have
got around 16 backlogs in my undergrads, but i've cleared
them all and they are not reflected in my marksheets but
the year mentioned in my marksheets is of when i clear all
papers of a particular semester. Can it be a problem? What
should i do now ? should i reapply for a US VISA as my
joining date as per my I20 is 23 August. Kindly suggest me
something
