Gud pm house.. I av been a regular follower and i finally have my interview on Monday. But i need some quick clarifications and advices...

1.. I've read plenty times here when pple say VO asked them to pass their documents and they did.. Now my question is, do you pass ur passport, I-20 only or what else? I'll just like to know before hand.

2. I made a horrible mistake while filling my DS-160 form, i first filled B1/B2 visa and printed that, immediately i realized this i filled it again and changed it. Now the problem is this, my Comfirmation number on the appointment confirmation is coherent with that of the first DS-160 form, but it is different from the confirmation number on the correctly filled DS-160 form. so i have 2 DS-160 form printed...

Please Please.. what do i do? make una no yab me too much, just advices..

thanks.

You can try, but first it had better be real and honest. Or you are looking at a long ban.
They will check!
Thanks brother. They're real I'm worried about the time it will take to have it sent on post.

Yo bro! Pass your Passport, I-20, DS160 form, and appointment confirmation page (they usually arrange these at the embassy for you.) Make sure you update your appointment page with the most correctly filled DS160 Conf. no. and discard the wrongly filled one, you don't need it. You can always do that when you log in and make sure it is not less than 24hrs to your interview day before updating it.

All the best!

No cause for alarm bro. Usually you do data capturing with someone across a counter before your main interview. They will ask for your passport, DS-160 form, Sevis fee receipt and the 5cm×5cm passport. After you have been called for the actual interview, you only present what the VO request for. Please don't give what you have not been asked, that will show desperation on your part. Don't be apprehensive, be sure you have all the necessary documents in case of necessity.
On the part of your DS-160, you can fill as many as you want, but be sure to use the right one to book your appointment. Go with same on your interview day.
Best of luck man! See you at the top.

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by Nobody: 3:33pm On Apr 25, 2015
This is a typical graduate school preparation plan:
1. Decide on why you want to go for a Masters or doctorate degree.
While considering the motivation, you should do a Cost-Benefit analysis
to help you know if the amount you will spend funding yourself would be worth
the returns on investment for getting an advanced degree.

2. Decide on which path you want to take. Do you want to continue with
your present career or you will like to switch to a different field. Maybe you
studied Electrical Engineering but you think you have a knack for advertising
or broadcasting. You may want to consider a career switch.

3. Decide on where you want to specialize in your discipline. For a degree in
Computer Science, do you want to do research in Big Data, Software engineering,
embedded systems or Computational Biology?

4. Look for schools that offer good programs in your discipline. Sites like princetonreview,
gradcafe, usnews, studentreviews would help, but using google.com and the school
website is the most reliable ways to get the best places.

5. Decide on the number of schools to shortlist. 2,3,5,8,16,50,100. This involves a trade off between
choice of schools/chances and cost of application. The more schools you choose, the higher your chances
of gaining admission but the more money you will spend too and vice versa.

6. Prepare for and write standardized tests like GRE and the TOEFL. Many schools require these
tests and they boost your candidacy for admission and maybe some funding.

7. Get Letters of Recommendation (usually three) from your undergraduate institution.

8. Write a Statement of Purpose that describes your motivation for graduate school and
how graduate school will help advance your career.

9. Send your official transcripts to the schools you are applying to. Some require WES
evaluation and others would allow upload of the transcripts online

10. Apply before deadline(early as soon can) and pay application fees. Also, you have
to submit the requirements I listed in previous points.

10. Wait for application decision (admit or reject or wait list grin ).

11. Get i-20 form from school after you send your statement of account that shows that you are capable
of funding your education. The funds usually covers the first year expenses including tuition, accommodation,
health insurance, books. etc.

12. Go to the embassy for your interview where you will either be granted or denied a visa.

Cost varies depending on the number of schools, application fees and exchange rate.
Could range from 150k to 500k

Is it OK if I went to the embassy with a pdf printed version of my sponsor's account statement?
Bro u better don't try it. D VO might not av d time or patience of verifying, he/she might just denial u. Original copy with Bank stamp and sign is required. So bro play safe....

People I need your contributions. There are two major conditions I perceive will be the weakness of my application and they're seriously giving me concern.

1. My education gap: I completed my undergraduate studies in 2005. Though I have been working since 2008. I'm anticipating lots of questions coming from the VO as regards my long time away from academics.
2. Sponsor: My elder brother will be funding my education, but he has a permanent residency status in the US.

I just want to know how best to approach my interviewer to make my study intentions very clear and unambiguous. And how to prove quickly within the 3,4 mins of interview that I will leave at the completion of my studies I notice they hardly request for documents

You will need to cancel your appointment interview date if you want to update the F1 version of the DS160 from the B1/B2 version.. By doing that you will start afresh, although is likely you lose your visa fee if you already cancelled appointment interview date before
