Got Visa (F1 +F2 for family) at Taipei for UCLA
> Following post was shared by Suresh Lakhani
Read the F1 Mock Interview by for UCLA.
Here was brief detail….I appreciate HSB’s help and to support that i am writing my experience.
I found to apply for visa outside India may be much easier due to general trend of peoples like
- less application compare to india
- honest application and document percentage is higher (i.e. May be at Taiwan 100% case with proper and true document).
Above can help or at least reduce some of questions.
I did not ask for any document other than I-20.
No single question related financial. May be he calculated indirectly from the fact that i am working in Taiwan since 5 years
For me and my wife & Kid, document were prepare by staff of embssay (i.e. we have to pay 200+ NT$ for that) and they keep all process clean up like what document and guide what to do until finger print taken and final interview. I mean basic guideline so it will not waste others time.

hi
I have got the admit for Phd and planning to take interview along with my husband. Since I have got RA from university and liquid funds to support my family, we are thinking to take the interview for F1 and F2 together, is it a good option.
Raghu sir please provide your opinion on this .
thanks

Congratulations! I had read your answers in a previous post (I guess when you were preparing) and they are convincing. Good luck in the US!
