<p>Grande, I’m from India and the reason why I’m going to the US is the high quality of the education. As for my finance, my parents will be well able to fund my education without the scholarship and I have the documents to prove this. </p>
<p>I don’t know what I must do to prove that I’m not a potential immigrant. Honestly, my plan is to graduate and then decide my future course. Can I say this? </p>
<p>or should I lie that I’m planning to return to return to India and attend masters program here?</p>
<p>My mom has her own business here (that is not very related to physics). Does that help in establishing roots back to India?</p>
<p>I basically don’t want to lie in the interview because that might make me nervous and indicate that I’m lying about something more serious. So, I’d like to be careful and avoid lying as much as possible.</p>
<p>Other things:-</p>
<p>Does your accent matter? I have quite a global accent with a little north american tinge to the pronounciation of certain words. It doesn’t sound much like a typical indian accent though. I hope I wouldn’t be judged by this.</p>
