Did anyone assist you with Vi Prep from Columbus

Academics or F1 Discussions: NA

Attended Mock Sessions - Took mock from @Professor_0707 and @F1_shield which provided me with identifying issues with my profile and correct my mistakes

Also, attended a F1 Visa workshop which was conducted by Shachi Mall got generic answers but atleast it helped me build my confidence and gave me idea Visa interview questions.

Apart from that, I did a lot of mock sessions with my friend.
Tips and Suggestions:

Do prepare well. Don’t go with other’s answers. Do your research and connect your profile with all the major factors. Try to write down the points. It helped me a lot than reading and thinking this can be said that can be said. Try to write down your points. Give your 200% and also do Pray well. Prayers really helped me a lot.

Also, don’t overthink think about which counter is good which consulate is good like that. Just do your preparation, do mocks, try speaking to yourself in-front of a mirror or something like that. Just be confident and have a positive attitude and smile.

Also, don’t go with fake documents guys. Even in Chennai, in the opposite counter the officer was checking his transcripts and a lot of documents. There are chances they will ask you. If you’re having genuine ones you don’t need to worry about that as well.

Thanks to all the admins - Prof, axis, F1 mock teams everyone. You guys are doing a great job by spending your time in conducting free mocks for people and answering to all of our doubts.

All the best guys.

@F1_shield @F1_Girl Elena

Expert Advise / Tips:
My previous attempt was with university of Central Missouri in July earlier this year. His officer rejected me with just two questions by this university and who is funding. I think I was refused due to the poor rank university selection by my agent. After my refusal, I spoke with Axis and he recommended me to change my university and makes 4 to 5 additional changes..

Recommendations for students
1. Prepare well, I prepared for very complicated questions but Bo didn’t ask me any as I was
Confident for 1st question.
Try to give mocks as much as you can, that boosts your confidence.
2. Be in formal dress.
3.Speak loudly and maintain eye contact.
4. Follow Axis and Professor from discussions group
5. Attend their calls regularly and clarify your doubts.

Wishing you all the best for everyone 😊
