A9 I calmly said.."sir this is not my first trip abroad. I have been to UK for 6 mnths by my Co. I have been to europe too. I have never over stayed my trips abroad. I respect and am aware of US laws and am not goin to violate any of them. I am pursuing my executive MBA from reputed B School Jamnalal Bajaj which is difficult for an average person to get into. I am also working for premier Investment Bank in India.. This is a sufficient reason for me to come back."
I remained calm and confident during the whole process. The final words were I grant you the visa. you wil recieve a courier in 2 days. Thank you
I happily went back...
Remember key to success is that you need to be confident ..be calm and patient and explain the things to VO. If you didnt understand the question ask him to repeat it for you.
All the v best !
