VO: Okay I am approving your visa
Me: Oh..thank you officer. You made my day Advice for all the students taking interview in Chennai........ please go as early as possible as they are not checking appointment timing. They only look for the appointment date. Be very very confident even if you are not so sure of the info ur giving. In my case....god knows what i spoke there but i spoke as if its the ultimate truth. It worked out for me. I saw 3 rejections infront of me but i guess it was completely depending on their profile and confidence and nothing else. And also as much as I observed, the students who just graduated are having little advantage of better acceptance than the ones who are having work experience.
