Yesterday, I had my interview at 10.45am, which took place at window three. I'm pleased to share that my application was approved. Interestingly, mine was the first approval of the day, as I witnessed the officer deny more than 49 individuals, some of whom had prior travel histories to the US.

During the interview, the officer asked me a series of questions, including the purpose of my trip to the US, details about my occupation, the budget I had allocated for the journey, and where I intended to stay during my time there. Additionally, they inquired about my activities in Canada during a specific month (XYZ Month) and my current earnings, among other things.

For context, I have traveled to 19 countries in the past and currently possess valid 10-year visas for both the UK and Canada. Despite witnessing many denials, I am relieved that my application was successful, and I am now looking forward to my trip to the US. good luck to everyone else.
