They are asking very, very tough questions. They are so many rejections. Many students are getting rejected because of the lack of preparation.

Have confidence in yourself prepared well. Give at least 10 to 15 mock before you go for the interview.

Thanks to F1 Visa discussion group in Axis for conducting regular sessions, which helped me build my confidence in the second attempt

Suggestions/Tips:

Guys, most important thing for your visa interview is preparing and research about the profile related questions as Prof. and Axis mentioned.
I attended calls from last 4 months. I have hardly missed any in F1 discussions group.

Thanks to all students who answer my queries and gave me support during mock interviews. I gave around 10 mocks since Nov 15.
