| Well, I don't know, haven't heard anyone who's rejected right? Haha. And considering that my visa interview only took 3 minutes.. It still seems to me that it isn't that big a deal. :/ |

| My interview will probably be in the second week of July. I'm surprisingly chill about it (could be because I've been pushing it out of my head). I SHOULD be worrying my head off about it though, since it's pretty unpredictable here. My friend's brother was rejected for the visa even though he'd received a full scholarship from MIT. >_<
Thanks for the welcome messages, btw! I don't check in for a few days and already the thread has advanced 3/4 pages. Whoa. | |

| sammyone, my interview was as follows: (as far as I remember). The waiting sucked. I waited around 1 hr for my interview)
Me: Hello. Good morning, mam.
counselor: morning? How are you, Jason?
Me: Fine, Mam.
counselor: ok, so u r going to University of New Orleans. How many colleges did you apply?
Me: 15 - 18
counselor: (looks at me) how many colleges did you apply? (I think she was surprised that I applied to that many colls. haha)
Me: 12 (I improvised)
she: and, in how many were u accepted?
me: 6
she: 50%. That's great result. Ur major is peculiar (Bachelor of General studies, Liberal Arts and Sciences). What do you want to do in future?
me: I am not sure as of today. I have electic interests in academics. I want to explore different academic disciplines before I make my career choice.
she: that's good logic.
me: I chose UNO for academic, social and financial reasons....blah..(She laughed. She must have thought that I was trying to convince her to give me the visa .)
she: ok, jason. u r an oustanding student. We are glad that you chose USA for your studies. Come by 1:00 today to deposit $200. You'll get ur visa tomorrow at 11:00 am.
me: thank you, mam.
she: what's this? (I had also included the yearbook of my high school with my profile. I had worked as a designer)
me: my high school's yearbook.
she: it's a good book.
me: thank you, mam.
she: good luck. (and she gave me the green card)
haha, much easier than I had thought.

| ROFL.
BTW, Rister and ajay, I was desperately in need of a new TV show so I started watching Greek. I must say, it's mindless, drama-filled, and entertaining...I like it! | |
