Me: Hi

VO: Hey good morning! Are you enjoying yourself here?

Me: Ya

VO: Don't lie man...! There's nothing here for you to enjoy (he said this by laughing)

Me: (even I laughed at the joke)

VO: Who's going to fund you?

Me: My father

VO: What does he do?

Me: He's xxxxx and besides also he's a xxxxx

VO: What's his annual income?

Me: xxxxx lakhs

VO: How's that gonna be enough to fund you?

Me: He has three houses sir and also I have a loan of ₹ 25 lakhs

VO: Oh! Does he rent it?

Me: Yes

VO: Any siblings?

Me: An elder married sister, who's a government employee

VO: (He paused here so long. I guess there was some problem with his computer and spoke again...) You have any siblings?

Me: I have said just now... (I was not rude, I said with smile) an elder sister... (he stopped my completion)

VO: Do your parents have US Visas?

Me: No

VO: You applied for Visa before?

Me: No

VO: Here or anywhere?

Me: Anywhere, it's first time

VO: What's your B.Tech?

Me: Aerospace Engineering

VO: Ya... The laws of thermodynamics.

Me: Aerospace is not of only thermodynamics, there are many other subjects.

VO: Ohhh! How many laws are there in thermodynamics?

Me: (Shit! I don't knew the answer, I never cared for thermodynamics! I was helpless and I gave a desperate smile)

VO: I'm just asking... (he said something and I didn't listen as I was nervous for the answer)

Me: Three (it was just a rough guess but I said it confidently. I have to check my answer later in Google)

VO: Ohhh! What you wanna become?

Me: Aircraft Designer

VO: So where you wanna work after Masters; Airbus, Boeing...?

Me: I'm interested in military aircrafts. I have interest to work in Lockheed Martin

VO: So u work there after Masters!

Me: (The way he asked this question made feel like, "have I slipped my tongue!") Yes (I said doubtfully)

VO: Have you been through any cons-----

Me: Sorry...?

VO: cons-----

Me: Sorry?

VO: Consultancy

Me: (I was not sure whether this was the word exactly but I guessed it might be) No, no!

VO: How did you come to know about this university?

Me: I did my personal research, like I was dependent on... (he didn't listen further)

VO: Why particularly this university?

Me: I'm interested in high speed aerodynamics. So, I opted this university as it has hypersonic wind tunnel (this is not true. just for the sake of interview)

VO: Even other universities have it right !? (and he laughed)

Me: They didn't match my profile

VO: Your Visa is approved!

Me: Thank you... enjoy your day!


Note: The massive blunder is:

  1. First I said I'm interested in Aerodynamics and later I said I want to become Aircraft Designer. They both are contradictory.
  2. And I slipped my tongue saying that I'll work in US after study.
  3. Even thermodynamics answer was wrong.

Somehow my luck favoured in approving.
