๐Ÿ”นMe: Here it is.

๐Ÿ”ปVO: (looked at my i20) oh Bradley? I haven't heard much of it. How did u came to know about this uni?

๐Ÿ”ปVO: Im keeping your passport. Your visa is approved
๐Ÿ”นMe: thank you sm officer. And ran straight for the exit.
They had to stop me and tell me to walk slowly all the way to last exit.


Who Assisted you: Self prep but Thank you @Metalcoat for suggesting on how to frame answers. Durga, harish and saransh for their quick responses and Axis for his blunt hard facts.

This group and its mocks was a big help. But never gave them here. @F1_Visa_Discussions
Also Faarah_thevisaadvisor for her tips.


Tips and Suggestions:
Listened to others mocks. Researched alot about not only my unis and its curriculum, but also the unis i got admit from n universities i applied to. Take heed of whatever this group of people are telling you to. These guys are pros and know what they are talkin about.
I framed all my answers in such a way that they wont even need to ask the follow up qs.
And please stop askin about approval rate. Once you are in there you cant focus on anyone.

Hardwork. University. Prep. Confidence matters.

Then Luck matters.

My F1 Visa Experience
University: City University of New York
Status: Approved โœ…

Date: 2nd December
Time: 12 PM
Counter: 11


So, we were taken in at 12 PM. After that, we gave the biometrics and at that time, only one VO was taking interviews for all the applicantsโ€”a curly-haired lady. It went like this:



๐Ÿ”นMe: Good afternoon, Officer! (with a big smile)

๐Ÿ”ปVO: Good afternoon! So, youโ€™re going to the City University of New York, I see! (excitedly)

๐Ÿ”นMe: Yes, I am going to the City University of New York.



๐Ÿ”ปVO: Did you apply to any other universities?

๐Ÿ”นMe: Yes, I have applied to several other universities, such as...

Https://t.me/f1_exp

๐Ÿ”ปVO: So, why did you choose to go there?

๐Ÿ”นMe: As I am planning to do a Bachelor in Sociology, the core modules of this degree at Queens really caught my attention, such as...

She stopped me there and said, "I see you are going to study Sociology."



๐Ÿ”ปVO: Why Sociology?

๐Ÿ”นMe: Since I come from a third-world country, Iโ€™ve seen how issues like child marriage, dowry and the abuse of women occur on a daily basis. I want to be an advocate for women, empower them and fight against gender discrimination.



๐Ÿ”ปVO: I can understand. (in a very soft tone)



๐Ÿ”ปVO: How are you going to manage your tuition fees and living costs?

๐Ÿ”นMe: My father is going to pay for all four years of my tuition fees and living costs.

@f1_exp


๐Ÿ”ปVO: And what does he do?

๐Ÿ”นMe: Heโ€™s an established businessman. He has been consistently importing high-end motorbikes for the past 25 years.



๐Ÿ”ปVO: Motorbikes? (excitedly) Do you know how to ride a motorbike?

๐Ÿ”นMe: No, I donโ€™t. (with a soft laugh)

VO: Haha, itโ€™s okay!

๐Ÿ”ปVO: What are your plans after completing your degree?

๐Ÿ”นMe: I plan to join a top NGO here in Bangladesh, such as Grameen or BRAC, which have played a significant role in womenโ€™s empowerment. I want to contribute to their legacy by advocating for gender equality and working actively to end child marriage.


๐Ÿ”ปVO: You have a big dream, girl. I hope you can achieve it.


By that time, I was confident about getting the visa.


๐Ÿ”ปVO: Do you have anyone living in the USA?

๐Ÿ”นMe: Yes, I have my aunt from my fatherโ€™s side.



๐Ÿ”ปVO: And where does she live in the USA?

๐Ÿ”นMe: In New York as well.

VO: Thatโ€™s great!



๐Ÿ”ปVO: And youโ€™ve been to the Maldives, I see. How long did you stay there?

This was the trick question and I forgot exactly how long I stayed.

๐Ÿ”นMe: Probably 3-4 days.

Https://t.me/f1_exp

๐Ÿ”ปVO: Did you enjoy it?

๐Ÿ”นMe: Yes, a lot! I had a wonderful time with my family.


๐Ÿ”ปVO: Wish you all the best for your degree and future. I am approving your visa. And donโ€™t forget to have fun there! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚


She gave me that white approval paper first. Then I said, โ€œWonโ€™t I get the blue leaflet?โ€


๐Ÿ”นVO: Oh, do you want the blue leaflet? Let me see if I have one.


She went inside, searched for one, came back and said, โ€œThis was the last one I had,โ€ and gave it to me. I was already in tears.

Key Takeaways:

One thing I noticed was that she wasnโ€™t rejecting anyone for no reason. Either it was because of their DS-160 or their interview performance. If she decided not to give the visa based on the DS-160, she didnโ€™t ask more than one or two questions. You have to be really careful with your DS-160.


I also saw a lot of people whose answers sounded memorized, which could be a reason for rejection.

Lastly, thereโ€™s nothing above praying. Tahajjud really works like magic and so do prayers. Keep two nafl fasts with intentionโ€”it works. Since I had no other options, I didnโ€™t plan for any other countries. This was everything I thought about.


You have to be really, really confident. I saw people with very good profiles getting rejected just because they were nervous on the interview day. Trust the process and believe in yourself. It will all work out, InshaAllah.

She cut me off many times and didnโ€™t let me complete my answers fully when she got what she needed, so itโ€™s okay to get cut off.

Dress:

Formal Dress White Shirt and black trouser and sweater as it was very cold in Delhi.

Interview Experience:
Me: Good Morning Officer, how you doing?
VO: Smiled and said Iโ€™m good thank you

VO: Oh, youโ€™re going to FIT
Me: Yes officer, Iโ€™m going to FIT for my masters in Mechanical Engineering.

VO: Are there any specific reasons why you chose this university?
Me: Yes officer, I chose FIT because of its unique location on Floridaโ€™s Spacecoast. With proximity to the Kennedy Space centre and other aerospace industries was very appealing to me.

He nodded and said OK and I stopped there.

VO: What was your CGPA?

Me: 6.9 officer

VO: Did you applied to any other universities?

Me: Yes officer, apart from FIT, Iโ€™d also applied to University of Alabama at Birmingham and Texas State University. I received offer letter from UAB. Unfortunately TSU didnโ€™t accepted my application.

VO: Hmm, how are you going to fund your education?

Me: Officer, Iโ€™m gonna fund my education with my fatherโ€™s savings of $59k. Iโ€™ve also secured an education loan from SBI worth $71.2k.

VO: Hmm OK, Iโ€™m going to keep your passport with me. You will get it in a week.

Me: (Was shocked af) Thank you officer. I wish you a very best day officer. I moved away from counter to exit but came back again and said Merry Christmas Officer. He smiled and gave me a thumbs up ๐Ÿ‘

My personal experience:

Guys, there were both acceptance and rejection in Delhi today. The VO had rejected 4 people in front of me and honestly I too thought that I was gonna get rejected today. But, put a smile on your face while answering, answer with confidence and look them into eyes. Donโ€™t give generic answers when asked about why you chose this university? Give your real reason why you selected that university and donโ€™t talk about curriculum or faculty or research. Give trivial and real reasons. Donโ€™t let other applicants experiences at the embassy or consulate affect you. Believe in yourself and say this one thing that Iโ€™m not gonna come back with my passport from the interview. Make your American dream come true and best of luck yโ€™all. Go and nail your interview!

Me: Hello! How are you?
VO: (no smile, expression) I'm good
Me: here's my document
VO took it in

VO: when did u graduate
Me: June 2024
VO: Gpa?
Me: 7.01 on a scale of 10
VO: Which schools did you apply for
Me: NJIT, LIU and UAB (i said all the full forms and fumbled at UAB but quickly bounced back and said University of Alabama)
VO: why LIU
Me: I want to be a regulatory affairs specialist so firstly my professor is having 40 yrs of experience and it will help me establish as a regulatory affairs specialist.
VO: stop! This sounds scripted
Me: (I thought i lost it) sorry ma'am it isn't, gimme 10 seconds and explain it to you
VO: ok! but no scripts
Me: (with my hand on my chest) promise ma'am, no scripts
VO: ok go on
Me: I told VO what inspired me to become a regulatory affairs specialist and i was about to go into the reasons that made me choose LIU. VO stopped me and said place your right hand on the scanner. i placed it and VO kept my passport.
i was shaking and couldn't grab my i20 from the tray but yeah it was done.

Trust yourself and walk upright. you paid 15k for that and only you can make it happen

no officer or consulate is biased and giving unfair judgements. there's always a reason even if it's not apparent.

Best of luck to you all and see you all in the US
