My visa interview

Posted by lavzz on June 7, 2009

I had my visa interview on 5th of June. Went well overall and am happy and relieved that I got this out of my way. Though a lot has been written about the visa process per se, I would like to add my comments on the subject. A couple of points to note for potential applicants-
1. Fill up the forms DS156, 157 and 158 in advance and revisit them for mistakes a couple of times before taking the prints.
2. Dont forget to pay the SEVIS fee of 200 $ . It is not explicitly mentioned in the vfs site.
3. For the chennai consulate, you will mostly have to schedule an emergency meeting as the regular days are washed off
4. Keep your documents of funding ready-either through loan or fellowship or funds from self and family .

Questions asked-
1. Which university?
2. When did you pass out ?
3. Where have you been working?
4. How are you funding your studies?

If the documents are in order, this should just be a formality. All the best.

Updates

Posted by lavzz on April 25, 2009

Have not had a lot of time to post so am just going to give bullet point updates about the latest stuff going on with premat etc.

1. My financial aid decision has come. HBS has given me a  generous fellowship and this makes my loan amount completely manageable instead of tending closer to the monstrous 1 Cr. INR that I thought it would.

2. My I-20 has arrived at my permanent address following my fin aid decision. Have asked my folks to courier it to me ASAP.

3. ACC 200 unfortunately seems to be lost in translation. The mid term packet that had to come to my proctor has been stuck in the mail for the last 2 weeks. Should call up/inform BYU.

4. Am putting in my papers here on 15th May. Should give me around 1 and a half months in Hyd for the first time in 7 years.

5. Have filled an application for a dorm room at HBS. I hope I get a room. They are subject to availability therefore keeping my fingers crossed. Have also filled up an apartment application just in case the dorm thingy does not work out.

That more or less covers the happenings since the last post I guess. And yes, I have made it through IIMB :) My dream finally comes true though is going to remain unfulfilled.
