My F1 visa interview at Chennai Consulate was very simple and lasted only for 2 min

I had my visa appointment today at 7.30 (May 27, 2011)

While submitting my documents they told my passport photo was not of good quality so i had to take one more, this only took time for me.

That it I have got my visa, I came out by 8.50, only because of my photo it got late otherwise would have come more early.

My interview was only for 2min the officer was patient to repeat the question for me as i was not able to get his slang, He was really very cool.

    1. What are the possible questions asked during US student visa

  2. VO’s don’t even ask what your future plans are or if you’re coming back if he’s already convinced your a legit student.

  3. hey congrats for your visa…i also aspire to get to usa for ms-electrical/electronics. in which field are you doing your specialisation at clemson and how is it there?

  4. how to convince VO for immigration.anyone send some tips for that.

    • There is no tips. Tell why will you come back? You have a good future in INDIA. It will be your answer.

    hi friends i got my f 1 visa approved at mumbai consulate.
    I want to post my visa experience to HSB.
    How to do this.
    please guide.

  8. Congratulations on your visa!!
    But, I was under that impression that you need to have provisional certificate, with all the eight semester’s marks for your VISA. Is this correct?
    Also HSB or the person who underwent this interview, please post the list of documents that are required for VISA as it would be helpful for all the readers who are attending the VISA.
    Thanks in advance.

  9. congrats…..
