Comments – Appreciate for taking time to share your experience.
Suggestion for you – Please don’t write professionals emails in the same way you have written your experience. I debated several times before publishing this post. How someone with work experience can write visa experience in “chat language”.
Question to you?
Do you think we should publish F1 Visa experience written in such a way in future? If there are few mistakes, I can fix it, but entire experience written in short codes is difficult to read.
Hi guys.. I have my interview on 18th of Dec 2017, my college doesn’t not need gre and I score ielts 6.0 band. But currently on the visa panel based on our gre score they are giving the approval it seems. I got gre 266 out of 340 don’t know what to do guys.. I have done a fake of gre by increasing to 296 marks.. Will the visa officer be able to check the gre official score. Please let me know guys, as my exam is in 2 days

@HSB: Although it was very helpful to read the visa experience posted above, it took a few extra seconds to understand what some words mean. I would like to suggest that articles NOT be allowed to be submitted in chat language.
This article was posted in chat language (as-is from the person who shared it), so others reading it will know when they share, it shouldn’t look like this.
Please don’t publish in short code. Its too much of an effort to read it. Could you maybe ask the person to retype his/her experience in proper whole words? Thx
hiiiiiii
i have low gre score
1st attempt 910(320 verbal,590 quants)
it even went worst in my second attempt 890 (330 verbal,560 quants)

i am worried that my gre score will lead to rejection of visa

hi,
i got my visa rejected twice(first one 15th december 2010 and 10th Jan 2011) at chennai consulate.
i think my backlogs played a major role in my rejection. Please find my details below:
Gre (first attempt): 1020 ( verbal : 290 , quant : 730)
Gre (second attempt): 960 ( verbal : 280 , quant : 680)
Toefl : 94
Undergrad : 59 %
Backlogs : 8
Year of completion : 2008
Working in an MNC for the past 3 years. There is one year of gap between GRE and TOEFL exams.
i have scheduled my visa interview in first week of August 2011.
Request you to give me some tips for the visa interview.
Thanks in advance.

Kris

Hi avsr
Congrats on your visa stamp.
I also have the same problem of average Gre (970:verbal 380 and quant 590)score and high Toefl (103) score.
I just completed my b.pharm with 71% but with 3 backlogs which were in my 1st and 2nd semesters.Well,i had 3 months gap between my Gre and Toefl exam.Im genuine and i wrote the exam by myself.Initially while taking my Gre i had my semester exams,so i did not had enough time to prepare for my gre,but for the toefl exam i prepared well,as i got two months of free time after completing my semester exams(held for almost 20 days).Will it pose a problem during my visa interview?.
Please do reply.Waiting for your comments.
Thank you.
Once again congrats on your visa stamp
You above post has solution in it ..Tell that you are very much occupied with ur sem exams while taking gre so couldnot spend more time practicing mock tests .
I passed my b-tech in 2010.But i am applying for fall 2011.My visa interview is on July 13th chennai. Definitely there will be a question like what did u do in this one year? I did small jobs like call centre , BPO which is not at all related to my field.what should be the answer for this question. Please help me
In your experience ceertificate did they mentioned your role ?? if they didnot mentioned it and if your company has ITO also then you can manage VO stating i worked in particular technology in ITO.

no work experience..I have just completed b.pharm
@keerthi..oh how many months of gap between ur gre /toefl exams..i luckily got 3yrs gap so got a valid reason.Tell them that you were quite busy at d time u took ur gre exam..give a valid reason for that..like health problems etc…but also mention that your gre sore is not low ,its a decent score with which i got admission from a good university.
a gap of 3months..thank you for the advice..actually i wrote toefl 2 times..first time i got 88 n second time 110…
and few days before my gre exam, i was affected with chicken pox and my sem exams were also nearing..
@keerthi

HSB should not post this kind of experience with horrible english.
It may give bad image of HSB which have more than million readers.
People are different and posting this kind of experience shows, how others should not do it. We will continue to post such experience.
Wat abt Title My dear ?? Got an instant reply for Ron’s post …y not for other posts
My dear ROn…tell me the purpse of posting visa experience..plz post in ur and better english so that i can learn a bit !!
Dear HSB,
I really appreciate your effort in post F1 Visa interview experiences and I have learnt a lot and even confident that I will get my F1 visa interview right, Job Done!!!
However, I prefer such experiences not to be posted, serious measure may result while others trying to do it same way. So one thing you shouldn’t ask your dearest readers,
“Question to you? Do you think we should publish F1 Visa experience written in such a way in future? If there are few mistakes, I can fix it, but entire experience written in short codes is difficult to read.”
and respond as above to Ron’s comments. You would rather reply in a better. My suggestion!!!!
Keep the good work though and I will definitely share my experience whatever the outcome will be.
Your Ethiopian reader.
How horrible your English ?
COntent is important ….i hope evry one got something out of this unique experience…ROn whats your profile dude ??
hi i am ramya.i scored 950(260 in verbal,690 in quants)in gre and 107 in toefl.my aggregation is 78% with 1 backlog.My interview is on 23.would you please suggest me what type of questions i face in f1 interview.i was very tensed about my interview…
questions l b like
why us..why oly this univ
importantly…Y LOW GRE AND TOO GOOD TOEFL..must prepare a good reason for this ramya..check out my abuv experience for reference…FOr more info plz reply bye
thanks for your reply.could you please suggest me how to convince the vo abt my low GRE
It completely depends on ur profile yar..since i have 3yrs gap b/w gre n toefl..i managed it by saying i improved my skills working for an IT company..
Tell VO that its not a low gre score..its an avg or decent score..since i went wrong with the initial few questions(Vocabulary) my level got down and even though i did my best in the later part i have got these scores.Whereas i took as many mock tests for Toefl and since i have very good communication skills i managed to get too good score..
U can add ur own points also…but prepare to this question wel…finally comeup with a sweet n short reply..
thanks a lot for your good advice..
You got fake TOFEL .It’s sure
Best of luck
U got fake account right !! ..
Despite the misleading nomenclature , a very interesting experience , I do hope they rectify the name with the due apologies needed
Congrats to AVSR
How long would it take for a person to write something properly? Most people could get the message but people who are not familiar with such chat language often find it difficult to go through the post. I agree with HSB. A proper writing shows the sincerity of the person. Anyways congrats to avsr.
Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone could advise me what reason should I give ….. I have the same problem. Very good TOEFl scores and not so good GRE scores. Almost the same as mentioned by the author of this post. My academic record is excellent. I’m only worried about low GRE scores.
Please help me out.
post ur gre n toefl scores..any gap between ur gre n toefl ?
Hello Mods.
This is my visa experience…I dont know why you people mentioned FAKE TOEFL in the headline…as if i had fake toefl scores,..so please check it once
As i dont have enough time that day…i might have used chat language in b/w…but i believe every one will understand this..which solves the purpose(to bolster the F1 visa aspirants)…so chill guys.
People who are going through this experience
Read the content 1st and dont get distracted with the INAPPROPRIATE title given by intelligent HSB mods
i think thats the aspect one could never know without reading such blogs.
and however is the way of writing the we are getting the correct message…
so should not bother about the question, to publish it or not…thanx
thank u
hello everyone
i am going to WVU for MS in Soil science for Fall,2011(with assitantship).I will be getting my I-20 form soon.Where can I get tips to prepare for the visa interview?
mam ..
what covering the covering letters, can you explain ?
I am facing a problem with photo uploading in F1 visa date
appointment process. I tried 4, 5 times and even i changed the
resolution of snap, still i am unable to upload photo.
would like to know if it is possible to get an appointement without
uplaoding photo
get a better photo with all specifications met…u can make modifications ..plz dont do that
1) Such chat language should not be allowed.
2) Title is mis-leading- I assumed that he used fake TOEFL score to get VISA.
I agree with 2nd point.title is mis leading. due to this i was going to skip this conversation.
Very truly said Raj n Shajeed. The title was very misleading. I completely agree with HSB’s point of not writing comments of experiences in “chat language”. The main reason could be the reduction of intensity in the post. To many readers, the post may appear to have a tone of fun and ease. The importance of visa interview is often downtrodden. Approval of visa is a culmination of many factors with a sheer bit of luck going your way for about 90minutes which will decide your fate for the next 2 years or so. At the same time not posting the experiences which come in such language too could, sometimes, be depreciating for the readers who learn a lot from reading such experiences. Hence, I would request all the writers to maintain professionalism and the right intent to give beneficial effect to the content they are sharing with the readers.
completely MIS-LEADING…im very much dissapointed with the title…owners or mods please amend it appropriately…hmm please ASAP..this means As soon as possible..!!
Hi let me know whr u taken the Gre & Toefl. How much u got in Verbal. As i am 1050(290 +760) in Gre n toefl 99. I have taken toefl 2 times second attempt only.I took one month later after my first attempt with good preparation.
While reading this article, I was under the impression that the writer was boasting about how he/she misused fake TOEFL scores to get the VISA.
Expressing VISA interview experiences in a dialogue form can be an effective means of narration, if proper language and punctuations are used.
Mr.TInku ji..Seems like u read my experience completely right?? But the above funny post by urs doesnt seem that ur read it and simply ur passing comments…i pity ..al d best fr ur visa !! take care man..listen/reading is very much important before write or speak !!
Can you please enlighten us all, that how dummy students are able to give exam like TOEFL which accepts only passports as identity proof ? Thanks in advance.
Those people are many in number out there in the Orkut… They have the exam center under their control, so no problem arises due to the identity….
Well know fact is that Ukraine students an opportunity to buy TOEFL score. in Kiev.
Unique experience to say the least. But I think students who are going to the states, please write like a student. It does not make you cooler if you write like that, it’s annoying and obnoxious. HSB, please fix the spelling next time when you post experiences written like this.
congrats on your visa stamp. What all documents did you gather for visa interview? Kindly put it up here, might help the guys like me who are heading for Chennai consulate. I ask this because, my consultant told me that the Chennai consulate does not require few documents like affidavit from two contacts and affidavit of financial support and I doubt how the consulates would differ in required documents list concern. :)cheers.
dude chennai consulate seems to be strict …as i have experienced
i took
10th /inter/Be provisional and sem wise mark lists
bank certificate/stmt…
education loan sanction letter
CA,CE reports
I20/fellowship letter/aceptance letter from univ
Ds-160/confirmation letter/sevis print
hdfc receipt/passport
experience letter
gre/toefl reports
thats it !!
CE Report??
Thanks for that man. . And same question here . Whats CE report?
And yes there has been a wrong impression put on in the title “Fake TOEFL scores”. May be HSB is checking how keen the readers are. . 😛
CE report is the engineer report given after your asset estimation.With this CE report CA will give his final audit report which is mandatory.
In some cases CA will do the both.In my case i went to CE 1st then to CA.
Thanks man. . It was really helpful for me . . 🙂
Hi,
I got gre-1250, toefl score-81. My CGPA-9.31 out of 10. Could you please tell me what should i answer if they ask why my toefl score is very low?
am little bit worried abt that.
Thanks in advance.
The same story here. Undoubtedly, you have nothing to worry about!
wow i cant believe someone who speaks like that got a visa when many qualified and deserving students are rejected.
That is the US embassies for you. The best don’t always get visa, the smartest do!
@SONIA and MIKE
HSB have misleaded people with inappropriate TITLE..i took all my tests myself…please read my experience carefully and then u can pass comments.This is ridiculous.HSB what are you doing ?????? Immediately change the caption please
Hi Avsr
I Have taken only TOEFL (107/120),no gre/gmat and i have 3 years of work experience and even i got admission from SNHU for MS Marketing.
VO will question why no gmat?
and i have applied only for 2 universities and i got admits for the both,so VO will question why only 2 universities?
waiting for valuable replay
Dude we cannot expect what questions VO will ask…
VO never asked me about financial dox..though i hve all those
Similarly if you were not asked about Gre r Gmat..then its fine
But if asked then it will be complicated i guess as VO expects a GRE for MS and GMAT for Mba…but consult otthers also regarding this..i have read an experience where visa was rejected with reason : no gre score !!..take second opinion plz
Yes he may ask and you may have to justify your answer. Few of my friends are doing MBA after giving GRE as university accepted both GMAT and GRE scores.
