I am Shubham Singh, I graduated in B.Tech (IT) and I applied for MSEM in Johns Hopkins University. I appered for my visa interview on 9th june in Kolkata and here is how my interview went:

Me: Good Morning Officer.
VO: Good Morning, Please pass me your i20 and DS160.
- I passed the documents.
VO: Why this course?
Me: This course is the perfect amalgamation of technical and management skills. Right now, I am having approximately 3 years of technical work experience and would like to gain management expertise by this course while keeping in touch with my technical skills.
VO: What work experience do you have?
Me: My professional journey started in 2019 just after graduation. I worked with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for 2 years as software engineer for our client SHAW Communications where we were looking after provisioning, network orchestration, mediation and authentication. We were handling more than 10 applications and after that I joined Exusia Inc as a Senior analyst where I started lookig after PAN India DTH billing and Mobile number portibility applications for Airtel telecommunications. Our applications are based on ETL tools which work on Ab initio.
VO: Great! How will you fund your studies?
Me: My father has given x amounts of monry, I also have taken x amounts of loan and have x amounts of personal savings..
VO: Have you ever travelled to US?
Me: No.
VO: Your VISA is approved. Please collect your passport after 5 working days.

The key to my success was being confident and mock interviews. Practice will help us feel confident which will ultimately help us get our Visa. All the best everyone!
