Me: I have a late arrival letter from the university stating that I can reach by 5th September so that is enough time for me to reach US

VO: Okay, Why this university?

VO: Okay, I'm approving your visa but you will need to submit an updated i20
Me: I told him that I have late arrival letter and also that it was written in i20 about the late arrival date but he denied and asked me to submit the updated i20 at the VFS.

VO: My experience
Me: A tip:
I went to the Delhi office, it was counter no. 23, he was an old bald American man who was very nice and calm (he also explained me the process of submitting the i20 and was smiling throughout) but there were 2 ladies, nigerian and american.
I would suggest to be away from the nigerian lady as she was rejecting almost every application. The american lady was also rejecting but not that much.

Interview Details
VO: Which University are you applying for?
Me: As i already have my H4 dependent visa and wanted to change my visa status to F1 i got a interview wavier and they do not need my biometrics as i already gave my ten prints during my first visa interview.
I went to hyd VAC located at hitech city metro station lower level concourse.
They did not ask me any question ( the above selected question was just a default one as i couldn’t find a question related to my interview) but they jus asked me to submit my 2 photo copies , my i20 , Ds 160 and Interview Confirmation . They said it will take 14 working days for the visa confirmation but when i checked my visa status within 48 hrs i got an update that they received my application and after 4 working days i got a mail that i can pick my passport and the visa was approved .

The reason i am writing this interview experience was, before my interview i have checked for one such visa experience of status change from H4 to F1 i couldn’t find any.

Kindly carry all your supporting documents just incase if they ask for any other documents.
