Hi all, please can I apply for an emergency appointment if it is within 60 days of my program start date? |

Some people that booked dates in November are holding tight and praying that those dates will be allowed to stand. Confusing times! I recall the consulate saying in that video way back that the earliest dates will be in November. 1 Like |

This is a transcript from one of my school groups from a guy in India. The lesson here, as people start their interviews next month, is to b as detailed as possible in their transcripts(just like this India guy). Please let us avoid the "i answered" response. Thanks Visa Interview Experience Location: Kolkata Date: 30th September, 2020 Time Slot: 9:00 am In Time: 8:55 am Out Time: 9:05 am Status: Approved Visa officer: An American lady in her mid 30s Me: Good Morning Officer VO: Good Morning. Please use the sanitizer and place your right hand fingers on the Biometrics Scanner ( I did as I was asked) VO: Please pass me your passport and I-20 ( She simultaneously asked me to remove my facemask for verification ) VO: Why this stream ? ( I am going for MS in Statistics ) Me: Officer I have been working as a Data Analyst for last 5.5 years. I feel like I lack foundational Skills in Statistics which is a core aspect of my job. I am bridging that gap by pursuing this course VO: What all places have you worked at ? Me: Officer I started my career as a decision scientist in Mu Sigma based out of Bangalore. After spending 3 years there I switched jobs and I am currently work for a Company named Epsilon registered as Conversant Softwares and Campaign management solutions ( I added the last part so that it might be easier for her to verify that bit of detail if she was doing so in the background ) VO: Very good. How many courses did you apply to? Me: Officer I applied to 7 courses in total. I got admitted to 3 and rejected in 4 VO: What were your admits ? Me: Officer I got admitted to the following: University Illinois Urbana Champaign, University of Texas at Dallas, Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago VO: Great. How are you funding your education ? Me: Officer I am self funding my education. I have an education loan of around xx USD from Prodigy Finance. I will be supplmenting it with my own saving worth xx USD and my father has agreed to pitch in xx USD ( total amount that I told was close to 1.5 time the amount mentioned in my I-20 ) VO: What are your plans after education ? Me : Officer I plan to work as a Data Scientist in the Pharma Sector. VO: Why Pharma Sector ? Me: Officer with the current situation that is going on I feel that we need a lot of good people working in the Pharma Sector and try to reduce administrative load on our healthcare workers. Also there is a lot of work to be done in optimizing the global supply chain and manufacturing of medicinal drugs VO: Great. What does your father do ? Me: He works with the police department of Jharkhand State government VO: Is he an IPS ? Me: No officer. He is an Inspector VO: what is his yearly income ? Me: His gross salary ranges between xx-xx lakhs INR VO: Did you show any collateral for the loan ? Me: No officer I did not have to show any collateral for the loan VO : Any additional savings that you have ? Me: officer I have xx lakhs of non liquid assets in terms of Public Provident Fund and xx lakhs worth of immovable property located in my hometown ( I was not audible here, she double checked the number with me. So I had to repeat the second number again) VO: Great. Will you be traveling anywhere in the next 15 days ? Me: No officer VO: Are you aware of the quarantine rules when you arrive in the US ? Me: Yes officer. I know that I have to quarantine for 14 days on my arrival into the US VO: Where will you be quarantined ? Me: Officer I have a friend working in the US. I will be quarantining at his place (this was the same guy I had mentioned in my DS-160 as my POC in the US) . VO : What does your friend do ? Me: He is working as a Data Analyst in Capital One VO: Okay. I am approving your visa. Have a good day Me: Thanks. Have a good day ahead (Things which help in F1 Visa Interview: 1) Being very objective and to the point in your answers 2) Know your financial numbers in and out 3) Have a coherent story 4) Do not lie 5) Be confident 6) Greet the officer when you come for the interview and greet him/her before leaving no matter what the result is ) 16 Likes |

whats happening with the dates ! |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by jayzen(f): 12:38pm On Oct 01, 2020 |
With this latest quarantine questions, I'm thinking one will have to agree to having someone in the US. Otherwise, they might imagine you won't have a place to quarantine and probably set yourself loose upon arrival. Thanks for sharing. HoluwadareY: 1 Like |

I informed my school about the I-20 thing and they told me it's no longer an issue as shown in the attached file. If it's going to come at extra cost, should I just print the emailed one on paper please? Although I haven't secured an appointment yet.

pointednose: True! A friend of mine in Ghana got his appointment cancelled twice and his next available appointment is in May 2021. So my advice to those people who haven't gotten their i-20's yet is too chill a little, imagine shipping your i-20 and not using it at the time you suppose to. My opinion though is not to rush dollar dey on the high side o! |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Anybodie: 10:25pm On Oct 01, 2020 |
Rabato: I don't agree with your post. Why chill? What if they eventually get an appointment? I-20 will take about two weeks to arrive What if you do not get it before your interview date? 3 Likes |

I get you. But, If that happened in Ghana, it might not necessarily happen in Nigeria. Let’s not start to create unnecessary panic. What will be, will be. Rabato: 5 Likes |
