She looks at my I-20, and I could see the surprise and awe in her face
VO: Do you know that guy that just left here?
Me: (I laughed) No I don’t but I overheard him listing some of the courses he will be taking and that caught my attention, and I started listening in and realise that we are both going to the same school and program.
VO: Yeah, same school and program, and same funding too.

Thank you guys.

Posting my interview transcript after i pickup my passport.

VictorRomanov:
Drop your number let's try it.

Lol. I’ve tried it myself bro

Hotfreeze:
My bro, read the article below and see how far reaching it is.
https://techcabal.com/2018/05/02/your-data-is-our-data-a-truecaller-breakdown/

Apart from third party phone lines, it also picks data from services like Vconnect.

Deleting your Truecaller account is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Bro, it doesn't matter how truecaller gets it data. At the end its still going to go to its database and check if the number exists and if its unlisted or not before it shows you an output. If you want to test it out, deactivate your truecaller and de-list your number. Search your number after 24-36 hours on truecaller website, you won't see anything.

Hotfreeze:
Guys, don't be misled, this is false.

Even if you delete your account with Truecaller, provided someone using Truecaller stored your number as a contact on his phone, the name used by the person for you would show on Truecaller app.

Actually the Op is correct. I unlisted my number a year back and my number does not show up with any name on people’s phone with true caller. Doesn’t matter if the other party has true caller and saves your name as whatever, as long as it’s unlisted, it doesn’t show anything.
