  1. Congrats!!

    In my opinion you did very well, particularly answer for ‘Why USA?’ was excellent (Short & to the point).

  2. Hi, I do not know you but I want to give you some advice (It’s up to you to take it or not).
    Before you arrive in U.S, Read about STUDENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND GENERAL LAW of United States of American. Specially F1 Violations,because this is not India as Paisa Khilao aur Kam ho gaya. Law Enforcement Officers are in United States are very strict. Check you University’s Status on http://www.ed.gov and Specially visit http://www.ice.gov, http://www.uscis.gov. If somebody threaten you for deporting you, do not worry as soon as you are following LAW. NOBODY IN USA will deport unless you violate LAW of United States.

    Study Nature of Americans and they living style, their ethics, it’s totally opposite from Indians. Try to be in touch with as many as possible NATIVE AMERICANS (NOT INDIAN AMERICAN as it’s good to interact with them. You will understand why I am saying this when you reach here. God bless You

    1. i felt vo was rude in receving me when i said good morning but as interview went on he was not rude
      but as interview went on i did not worry at all beacuse i went casually and did not expect anythinig

  3. Congrats! Yours response to each question was excellent and you emphasized the fact that you are going back to Indian after your study.

    Once again, accept my congratulations

  4. I am really happy about her as she got visa from US consulate. One more thing, I want to put in light. NOBODY in US consulate care about your funds or about your University. I got my visa on Oklahoma City University in One interview, Mumbai US Consulate. She just asked me Why do you want to go USA? and Why you have chosen this course? Do you have anybody in US? I gave every answer true, I told her my uncle and aunty in USA. She granted me my visa. US CONSULATE VISA OFFICER IS AWARE OF THIS< WHOEVER CAME TO UNITED STATES DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK AS EVERYBODY WANT TO STAY IN USA and EARN $$$$$$$ and Make Future bright and settle down. I AM NOT CRITICIZE HER< I AM HAPPY ABOUT HER. US CONSULATE JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE GRATING VISA TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT FOOLISH OR DULL. WELCOME TO UNITED STATES MY DEAR FRIEND< COUNTRY OF CHANGE and DREAMS.

  5. Congrats and best luck. I am also applying for drug regulatory affairs, so can u please tell me in which univ. u got admitted,and ur GRE.
