ME Thanks, enjoy the rest of the day

btw..he is making note of what I am saying from the start.

What I feel: be confident(he has to give u a visa), speak loud and clear(it will be noisy around there), dress like a professional. all these will impact.

Good luck to all

I appreciate when people come in and post their experience on this forum but this advice part is irritating. I don't think any of this matters. You need to be working for a good company with the right papers. No matter how confidently you speak and how well you are dressed, if the VO feels that your company is shady, they will put you through admin processing. FACT.
