F1 Visa Interview with Backlogs

This mail is dedicated to all those who think they have a low profile,  low GRE ,  low tofel and lots of arrears. I personally was kinda tensed about getting my visa. and I know it must be the same with people of my category (I meant i got low scores – GRE 900, B-Tech – 69%  and loads of arrears)

Things that matter to get F1 Visa are

1. Your confidence,
2. Attitude and
3. Your finances.

Don’t take any fake documents..especially bank statements. The VO gets very pissed off if he just gets a hint of ur docs being fake [ My F1 Visa Cancelled due to Fake Bank Documents]

My appointment was at 12:45, reached consulate exactly by 12:50 (Yes, 5 minutes late) and I directly went inside, got my folder and waited for some two hours. and finally got my finger verification done. [ How to Apply for F1 Visa Interview ay US Consulate]

I was waiting for my turn. It seemed all scary, but as I kept moving forward I did gain confidence seeing all the interviews being taken. While in line I was observing all the VOs. I was standing in front of counter no 4  and this guys rejected some 4 F1 visas , looks like they all had huge cash in their bank account..and was very clear tat they were fake.
