I reached U.S. Consulate in Hydrabad by 8:10 AM. And finding parking was difficult. I had to shell out Rs 50 for parking in a nearby lane.
It was 8:30 AM in the morning when arrived at the U.S. C after parking my car. After a short security check, I entered into the consulate building.
Then I walked about 100 meters. Then another security officer verified the DS-160 Visa Applicaiton form. Then I went to counter #4.
At counter #4, Indian lady checked my photos, DS160 form, I20, appointment letter and stapled them.
She asked me to go to counter number 9. There’s a line at counter #9. About 20 people were already waiting. I then joined the back of the line.
This line was for finger printing. ( These days Finger Printing is about 1 or 2 days before the day of the interview).
Outside the counter there was a person helping us take fingerprint scans. After finger prints, I wenr to the interview waiting hall. I could visualize America in here. I’m so close. Just one more step. A guy gave me a printed slip showing token number E28 and stapled it to my documents.
There are restrooms, refreshments, and lots of chairs in the interview hall.
There were other interview candidates waiting here. By observing them, I concluded that student visa candidates get E series tokens.
In the middle of the hall, there’s two LED displays showing the token corresponding counter numbers.
There were only 2 counters calling E series (13 and 14). I was hoping to avoid the notorious “Big Boss” of the Hyderabad U.S. Consulate.
Then my turn came at counter #14.
I saw the consulare officer, young American female about 25 years of age. There was another candidate in fron of me. I must say that he wasn’t good with his answers.
Looks like he wasn’t ready to attend the interview at all. He strugglled to answer the basic student visa interview questions.
I head the the following from his Visa Interview Experience –
VO: What is your academic percentage?
He: 65%VO: Do you have backlogs?
He: 4 Mam
VO: What’s your GRE score?
He: ten- ten mam /* he meant 1010 */VO: What is your GRE Verbal score?
He: 270VO : When did you graduate?
He: 2012/* The way he was saying those numbers with his nasal tone irked me, VO’s face expressions said it all. */
VO: Why do you want to study Masters Degree?
He: It will increase my value in my home placeVO: I cannot give you F1 Visa Sir.
The will of Gods must have been with me that day. I realized what an incredible opportunity I got here. Even if I performed average I would shine in a marvelous bright light before this guy.
I did a special Ganesh pooja at the insistence of my dad that day morning.
My Visa Interview Experience at Hyderabad :

alex

shanti..@ hahahha..:D Better luck nxt tym!!
This is a normal interview. My first interview was so lame that I mis spelled my parents name. It was tupid of me. Second time, I was all set prepared. I went there but they didn’t ask me much excpet where else I have applied blah blah and told me to submit the passport. @ Shanti don’t worry try it again and this time be confident and have reasonable reasons just like what HSB always says.
