CASE 1 : INTERVIEW FACED BY TAPAN
Hi friends this is my feedback about my visa interview on
16th NOV.
First my scene: I had my petition filed by my uncle from US
and he was also my co-sponsor.
Gre: 1080 Toefl: 243
It lasted for about 2-3 min
I am starting directly from my first words with the
interviewing officer on window 11…..a 27-28yrs old Cute
MAM….she was very cool and calm.
ME: Good Morning Mam…!!!
VO: Good Morning ….How r u?
ME: I m gr8…..how r u?
VO: I m Fine.
Here I was still holding my back with my left hand so she
just told
VO: Leave that file aside gentleman, I m not going to check
any of your documents.
(I was really very much relieved at this moment as it was
on me now to impress her with my answers and which I had
prepared confidently with help of Dharmesh Sir and Natu
Sir………….Mock really helps a lot…)
VO: So where r u heading for???
ME: To pursue Master’s in EE having Wireless N/wing as my
area of specialization at SJSU, CA.
VO: SO Wireless means stuff related to Cell phones and all??
ME: Yes mam related to Cell phones, Mobile phones,
Satellite links, routers and other stuff.
VO: Ok that’s good.
VO: Why SJSU???
ME: (I had my answer prepared and I started saying points
from that)
Since past 6yrs SJSU is ranked among top 10 Master’s Level
Public Uni by Us News & World Reports survey of America’s
Best Colleges.
VO: Is that so? R u sure?
ME: Yes Mam absolutely, U can check it out on the website.
VO: Ok …Ok … I believe U ….continue...
ME: Further, 87% faculties hold Doctorates or the highest
degree in their academic disciplines.
Associate Professor Morelos-Zaragoza, Robert H. are
conducting research/scholarly activities in wireless
communication… which is my area of specialization.
(Here I had a pinch in my throat so I just paused and said
excuse me….she thought I had made some speech which I was
telling her so she asked me like that.)
VO: Have you made some speech or something which you are
telling me??
ME: (Confidently) No Mam, these are the points which you
will find on the department page. You can check it out…
VO: Ok… I believe you…
VO: So why only SJSU??? Which other uni’s did you apply???
ME: As I said above it is 1 of the best uni’s and I have
applied to total 4 four uni’s…
VO: Which 1’s???
ME: SJSU, NJIT, POLY, IIT Chicago…………. (Spell out in full
if u r asked this 1)
VO: So what was your Undergraduate major???
ME: Electronics and telecommunication.
VO: When did u complete???
ME: July 2006
VO: Recently so you don’t have any work experience???
ME: Mam I don’t have practical experience but I am gaining
technical experience through CISCO certified CCNA course…
(She was looking at the highlights parts so I just added)
which I have mentioned in the highlights…mam.
VO: SO how will this CISCO help you there???
ME: Mam this is a basic course related to wire line N/wing
so it can be easy for me to understand the concepts of
wireless N/wing.
VO: That’s good…
VO: So what after Master’s???
ME: (the most common answer…) after pursuing my master’s
with good grades I will come back to India gain 4-5yrs
practical experience in field in a company like Hutch,
Wipro, and Bsnl to name the few and open my own networking
Firm…
(There was a person standing besides her… … she told her
that I can grant him the VISA but lets check his finance…)
VO: Ok so your fees are total ABC$ so how are you going to
manage it???
ME: Mam I have total liquid assets worth XYZ lacs and so it
will be easily managed…and more over my family annual
income is PQR lacs...
VO: SO what do your parents do???
ME: My father is a senior officer in ---bank and my mother
is --- by profession.
VO: Any other sponsors???
ME: I have my Uncle who is a Certified Financial Planner as
my supporting sponsor.
(I was lucky enough she didn’t ask me where he was working
……if she would have I would have to clear a lot more
questions…)
VO: Why is your uncle
VO: Why is your uncle sponsoring you? Doesn’t he have any
children???
ME: No, Mam he is single and due to family tie ups and
social relationship he is sponsoring me…
And then the Golden words…….
(She gave me the I-20 back and…)
VO: I am granting you the VISA and your passport will reach
you in 2 working days.
ME: Thank You MAM and just moved out quickly.

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.

(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
why that many backlogs?
