15 Sec F1 Visa Interview (NYU)
I am going to NYU for undergrad. My experience was definitely a strange one because the entire conversation took only about 10 seconds, and then they wrote for about 5 seconds. Results!?
Consulate: Mumbai, India Counter Number: It doesn't matter. You are assigned one!!! But for those anxiety freaks it was 4! + 5th prime number.
Here is the conversation:
Me: Hi there! Them: Hello! Please pass your passport and I20. Slides them Them: How many universities did you apply to? Me: 7 Them: How many of those were admits? Me: Mostly canadian ones, NYU and RIT. Them: Why NYU? Me: NYU has one of the best business schools in the world. Them: So you are going for finance? Me: Yup, Economics + Computer Science.
Types for 3.1415 seconds
Approved!
For context, I also have a bit of travel history. Most recently, I visited Canada!
I then emoted, and danced away like a whirlpool. [Just Kidding ;)]
Don't worry. Everything should mostly be okay when you go!!
