I have a bank loan of ₹ 25 lakhs and ₹ 6 lakhs in savings. But, the problem is, my father's income is only ₹ 2.4 lakhs per annum according to IT Returns. One guy told me to lie confidently that your father's income is minimum ₹ 10 lakhs per annum and if you told that your father's income is ₹ 2.4 per annum, then he will definitely reject you.

But I was nervous and in dilemma whether to tell the truth or not.


VO: Good morning!

Me: Good morning sir!

VO: Which university?

Me: Michigan Technological University

VO: What are the subjects you are going to take in first semester?

Me: Advanced Heat Transfer, Advanced Thermodynamics, Vehicle Dynamics

VO: Which subject is easy for you and why?

Me: (felt tensed and started to tell something) Sir, actually I was interested in Vehicle Dynamics. So, it will be easy for me.

VO: Can you explain me something about Vehicle Dynamics?

Me: Sir, it is the introduction to the performance of vehicle during driving off, braking. (VO is expecting more lengthy answer from me and is looking at me. So, I again started telling...) driving off, braking, etc., sir.

VO: Any forces involved?

Me: Yes sir, definitely. Many forces are acting on the vehicle during driving. So, forces are also taken into consideration while solving problems to find out performance.

VO: (He typed something and asked...) Any aerodynamics involved?

Me: No sir, it is out of the topic in this subject (told confidently)

VO: GRE score?

Me: 305

VO: Any backlogs?

Me: No sir

VO: What is your father going to do for your education?

(Actually my father's income is only ₹ 2.4 lakhs per annum. So, I was tensed and don't know what to do now. Then I was in dilemma whether to tell the truth or lie that income is ₹ 10 lakhs per annum.)

Me: What sir? (I heard the question but I acted that I didn't hear the question properly, with a blank face.)

VO: (This time he changed the question slightly...) What is your father?

Me: He does business

VO: Which business?

Me: (told)

VO: (took some time and then told...) I am approving your Visa!

Me: Thank you sir!
