An Indian student reveals his recent experience in getting an F-1 visa at the Mumbai Consulate as he plans to pursue master’s at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Hari Krishna Trivedi from Ahmedabad recounted in a YouTube interview how he saw every one of the 20 applicants ahead of him get rejected for no particular reason.Trivedi said he was surprised to see how the visa officers gave only a few seconds to the candidates and as soon as they started to introduce themselves, they were stopped and told that their visa applications had been rejected. It seemed that visa officers already knew that they would reject applications from candidates even before they arrived at their windows.After seeing candidates being rejected after barely speaking six words, he said he was mentally prepared that he too would be rejected. It was almost lunch time and candidates who went to better schools faced rejection.Trivedi said that when he arrived for the interview, he was the last person in the queue and was asked to introduce himself like others. Midway through his introduction he was stopped and the visa officer asked him who was sponsoring him. Trivedi said he was stunned for a moment by the suddenness of the question but informed the visa officer that his father, who owns a business, was funding his education through loans.Then the visa officer asked them about their future plans – this is considered the scariest question. Trivedi said he clearly informed the visa officer that he wanted to pursue master’s in the US to gain skills and then join his father’s business in India. He told the visa officer that his father’s business was in the healthcare sector and he wanted to study AI in healthcare.Trivedi said he was handed a 221(G) form to declare all his social media accounts and he could not believe that his visa was granted by the same officer who had rejected at least 20 applications before him.
