Comments - Appreciate for taking time to share your experience.
Suggestion for you – Please don’t write professionals emails in the same way you have written your experience. I debated several times before publishing this post. How someone with work experience can write visa experience in “chat language”.
Question to you?
Do you think we should publish F1 Visa experience written in such a way in future? If there are few mistakes, I can fix it, but entire experience written in short codes is difficult to read.
sir im have a bad aggregation % do that really make a big problem in my visa interview
pls help me sir

@HSB: Although it was very helpful to read the visa experience posted above, it took a few extra seconds to understand what some words mean. I would like to suggest that articles NOT be allowed to be submitted in chat language.
This article was posted in chat language (as-is from the person who shared it), so others reading it will know when they share, it shouldn’t look like this.
Please don’t publish in short code. Its too much of an effort to read it. Could you maybe ask the person to retype his/her experience in proper whole words? Thx
hiiiiiii

1st attempt 910(320 verbal,590 quants)
it even went worst in my second attempt 890 (330 verbal,560 quants)

Gre (first attempt): 1020 ( verbal : 290 , quant : 730)
Gre (second attempt): 960 ( verbal : 280 , quant : 680)
Toefl : 94
Undergrad : 59 %
Backlogs : 8
Year of completion : 2008
Working in an MNC for the past 3 years. There is one year of gap between GRE and TOEFL exams.
i have scheduled my visa interview in first week of August 2011.
Request you to give me some tips for the visa interview.
Thanks in advance.

Kris

Hi avsr
Congrats on your visa stamp.
I also have the same problem of average Gre (970:verbal 380 and quant 590)score and high Toefl (103) score.
I just completed my b.pharm with 71% but with 3 backlogs which were in my 1st and 2nd semesters.Well,i had 3 months gap between my Gre and Toefl exam.Im genuine and i wrote the exam by myself.Initially while taking my Gre i had my semester exams,so i did not had enough time to prepare for my gre,but for the toefl exam i prepared well,as i got two months of free time after completing my semester exams(held for almost 20 days).Will it pose a problem during my visa interview?.
Please do reply.Waiting for your comments.
Thank you.
Once again congrats on your visa stamp
You above post has solution in it ..Tell that you are very much occupied with ur sem exams while taking gre so couldnot spend more time practicing mock tests .
I passed my b-tech in 2010.But i am applying for fall 2011.My visa interview is on July 13th chennai. Definitely there will be a question like what did u do in this one year? I did small jobs like call centre , BPO which is not at all related to my field.what should be the answer for this question. Please help me
In your experience ceertificate did they mentioned your role ?? if they didnot mentioned it and if your company has ITO also then you can manage VO stating i worked in particular technology in ITO.
I scored 890 (Quant-550 ; Verbal:340) in GRE… and TOEFL 110….My CGPA is 9.1….I got i-20….will there be any problem with these scores during visa interview ??…i m so worried..please help me out..!
I will never be a prob if ur scores are genuine…..anyway u will be bombarded with ques abt this…….prepare well
ya toefl 110 is way high comp2 ur 340 in gre verbal .So come up with a better reason satisfying VO..do u hve ny work exp ?
no work experience..I have just completed b.pharm
@keerthi..oh how many months of gap between ur gre /toefl exams..i luckily got 3yrs gap so got a valid reason.Tell them that you were quite busy at d time u took ur gre exam..give a valid reason for that..like health problems etc…but also mention that your gre sore is not low ,its a decent score with which i got admission from a good university.
a gap of 3months..thank you for the advice..actually i wrote toefl 2 times..first time i got 88 n second time 110…
and few days before my gre exam, i was affected with chicken pox and my sem exams were also nearing..
@keerthi
good..then have a copy of that chicken pox medical prescription with you as an evidence.it should work and also mention that you took toefl twice and you prev score was 88 with which ur r not satisfied !! ..remember that …ur repli shud always be sweet n short..
thank u
Hey hi…..my visa is approved
congrats keerthi share ur exp here na
hey Keerti share ur vo i too have same problem please as soon as possible. I am having many doubts
