Visa Interview Experience:
 

I searched the counters to see the VO who rejected me earlier, he was a psyco, felt happy wen I didn’t find him in any counter, yesterday only 7- 8 counters where active and after peeping though window into the waiting area, I could understand our is the last slot of the day and I am 5th last candidate of the day. I wanted to go to counter 31, 33, 34, 35 because i found those officers where cool and interactive. All off sudden counter 32 opens and announced to send candidate to that counter too. I found that psyco VO in that counter. I feared that I should not go to that counter. After some time, my turn came. One volunteer told me to go to counter 29, as I proceeded ahead another one told me to keep walking till counter 35 and that very moment, I knew my visa will be stamped. Because that VO was novice and she rejected no one as long as I saw that counter.

Tips: No matter how bad you are English is(saw buttler English people getting approval), how bad your dressing sense (saw over weighted and unattractive people getting approval), no matter how worst you are academics are (I am live example), no matter how eye contact is(depends from VO to VO). All I can say is speak openly, every thing depends on VO. So all you can do is speak out loud and answer eloquently, and practice in front of mirror.
