Me: I graduated in August 2018 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration.

VO: What is your GPA?
Me: I scored a 7.0 on 10.0

VO: What were you doing after graduation?
Me: After completing bachelor's, I have been working in the accounting domain for the past five years. Up until March 2023, I worked as a Financial Analyst in Dubai for two and half years wherein my role involved analysing financial reports, budgeting, forecasting and preparing statistical reports using data analytics. Prior to that, I was working (she waived her hand indicating me to stop speaking)

VO: Why do you want to go back to school ?
Me: As mentioned earlier, I have been working for over 5 years. I want to take a step up and become a Finance manager wherein I am involved in decision making roles, for which I require a specialised skillset in international accounting standards, financial management and most importantly data analytics. A master's in accounting program would bridge this gap and help me climb the corporate ladder at a much faster pace.

Me: No officer, I'm financing my education with my savings as well as my parents savings.

VO: Your visa is approved. She said something after this which I couldn't hear properly. She passed me the white slip.
Me: Thank you so much officer!

(The VO was a mid 30s white lady and was very patient. She refused three candidates before me but she have them reasons for refusal and asked them to apply again. The environment will definitely make you tense there, you'll see rejections and approvals. I noticed the famous Chinese officer as well, he was on Counter 32. My tip would be to practice well and try to stay calm. Take a second or two before answering, the VOs are quite patient.
