<p>What happens if you don't get your visa.</p>
<p>You can appply for the second time after 3 days...and you'll get another interview date...but before you do apply, improve on the thing that screwed up your first trial.</p>
<p>you can reapply two times for the interview. There have been cases of people going to the second interview with exactly the same materials and getting the visa, but don't count on that!</p>
<p>I have my visa interview tomorrow!</p>
<p>I'm leaving on the 29th July so if I'm rejected I won't have much time to appeal.</p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
<p>and hope that you won't have to appeal ;)</p>
<p>My visa interview was really weird - I wasn't asked at any point to prove I was returning, when I was returning etc...very little about how I was going to pay, very little about work...in short, just plain weird...</p>
<p>That happens with almost all the undergrads....they are given the visa without any questions....thats normal :)</p>
<p>Same here Nick04, I had to wait all afternoon and was the last person to be interviewed. He just asked how long I was staying at college.</p>
<p>The night before I was up organising all my documents to prove my funds and show how I would be returning, but I didn't need any of it.</p>
<p>It took more time to get into the building with all the security checks than the actual interview did, the interview was maybe 20 seconds!</p>
<p>Phew ! I got visa...interview was pretty good. Nothin scary...mostly a breeze! Altho, i kinda gave a wierd answer... He asked me for proof tht i would come back.. So i went,'' See how long i stay in the US is completely in your hands...it depends on the duration of my visa.. So i have to have to come back as n when it expires-got no choice! As far as gettin my visa renewed is concerned, a renewal will be granted only if the US thinks its ok for me to stay on further for studies ! And as soon as my studies finish, i'll come back... Its like people leave home in the morn..and come back in the eve..my home is here...i have to come back !''
HA it worked !</p>
<p>AH n yess... they asked me for my 12th grade marksheet! I least expected them to ask for THIS but they did !</p>
<p>(for indians..CBSE)

<p>haha, I packed like 10 pounds of documents in preparation for the interview, and not a sheet was pulled out of the bag (except for the appointment card). They asked me what I was going to study and who will pay for it. My major, bioengineering, is something nobody here ever think about studying or working with. I still have no idea how i'll get a job here, although i wish to return. When asked about my field of study, I just said "engineering", and then the interviewer just complimented my Penn I-20. It's all done. (Damn all my way back home I was standing on the bus and carrying that document bag.)</p>
<p>I think I had something like 30 documents in my clear plastic folder, and all she looked at were the financial documents! I thought the interview would be a big deal - I put on a neat skirt-and-blouse outfit and arrived half an hour early only to find twenty other people in t-shirts and jeans. Then I waited for one and a half hours (I was lucky here - my friends had to wait for 3 hours) before the 3-minute interview, in which she congratulated me on my acceptance, asked what I wanted to study, whether I've got accommodation, what I plan to do when I graduate, etc. It was really nothing.</p>

Same thing happened with me.</p>
<p>One difference, she asked me what was I planning to do after graduation.
I said "get my masters and then work", and then she asked "work where" and I smiled and replied "you know where" ;)
She giggled a bit and then asked me to collect my visa the next day :)</p>
<p>Hehe, there was this awkward moment where she started to ask me about what I wanted to do after grad school. I'm half Kuwaiti, half Jordanian, but when she asked, "would you want to work in--" Assuming she was going to say "the States", I interrupted and quickly said "No. I'm coming back to Kuwait", and she said "I meant wouldn't you want to work in Jordan?" LOL, I think I tried too hard in trying to "establish social and economic ties" with (one of my) home countries. :p</p>
<p>if you have more than enough money to pay in an US bank acct, you are a nice person and want to come back to work here.</p>
<p>is there any risk of being rejected ??</p>
