First attempt
Biometrics: July 2nd
Consulate: Tashkent
Slot time : 10:00 am
In time: 11:00
Out Time: 12:00
Counter: 7
Program: Bachelors
University: Colby College
Scholarship: 100%
VO: why did you apply to Colby?
Me: Because it is a top liberal arts college
VO: What makes it a top liberal arts college?
Me: well, you can pursue several majors there, create your own schedule, sign up for any class you want, and there are very few major requirements.
VO: Can you tell me about your Institutional grant? And is it renewable each year?
Me: I was granted the scholarship because I had perfect GPA and high IELTS and SAT scores (didn't mention the scores). Yes, it is renewable for the next four years.
VO: What are the requirements to keep the scholarship?
Me: As long as you are enrolled, you receive the same scholarship amount each year. No requirements. If your financial situation doesn't change, your scholarship remains more or less unchanged.
VO: I think everything is in order...
(Grapped the red letter (visa issuance details given to the approved cases, but....)
VO: Hold on a second, I got one question.
Me: Yes?
VO: No, your visa is approved, and you can pick up your passport with visa after 2 days from the address mentioned on the paper (pointed at the red paper).
Me: Thank you, have a nice day.
Tips: While waiting, I saw several (majority - around 75%) people getting their visa rejected and started overthinking. One of my acquaintances who came to extend his visa was asked too many seemingly irrelevant questions before issuing his visa. I was like "damn, what a question is that?"
Finally, at 11.30, the visa officer called an English-speaking applicant to the window 7, and I went there, presented my I-20.
