* I was not worried at all, confident but very serious and focussed. Kept waiting for next question and answered immediately but brief answers and explained sometime.

 

*I had a lot to speak but kuch aisi situation bani hui thee k just to the point answer bolta gaya as she was writing down each and every answer or her own views about what I was saying. So, there were always a big pause after the answer of my questions which didn’t let me speak fluently for longer period of time or explain in detail the answers of my question.

 

*Her attitude was normal neither rude nor friendly but she asked very simple questions. ( WHo knows what was going through her mind, I couldn’t read it from the face :(

 

NOTE: Things that are worrying me are she didn’t ask me about my degree as I had only transcript and also didn’t ask about family income. She also didn’t ask from me about 4th photo which is requirement of visa application as given on their website.
