*2nd interview attempt- *********
Interviewer- a very calm American man.
1.What course are you applying?
I am applying for MS in energy management from New York Institute of Technology.
2. Why masters?
I wanted to study as much as possible before I turn 30. I am a registered electrical engineer in qatar with 3 years of experience. If I do a 2 year masters, I can upgrade myself to a C-grade engineer. For this same reason, my QID will be valid even after doing my masters. So it will be easy for me to find a job here.
3. Who are your financial sponsors?
It is mainly my parents. If a need arises, my sister said she will also help.
4. Where will you be staying in US?
First 1-2 months I will be staying with my sister until I find an accommodation near to college. She lives in Brooklyn and the college is in Manhattan. There is a 1 hour commute between them.
5.Do you have any documents showing your sisters name and ID?
I have bank documents. I had her ID with me but was not aware to bring them for interview.
6.How did your sister go to US?
She married my brother-in-law. He was there in US.
7.Where is she working?
She is working as an estimator in a US company.
8.Where is your brother-in-law working? Is he a US citizen?
He works in the metro as an engineer. He is a green card holder. ( this was wrong info he gave… he is a US citizen)
9.How long have your sister and brother-in-law been in US?
Sister- less than a year. Brother-in-law- around 3 ( wrong info too… )
10. Are your parents in US?
No. They are in India- Kerala
11. What’s your sister’s name again? and when is her birthday? (to check in system)
Jasmin Paul. January. (Was not able to say the date at that time)
Result - rejected
Guys, what do you think is the reason for him to get rejected ?
Was it because he gave wrong info about me and husband or is it because I’m one of his financial sponsors ( I’m his blood relative who is settled in the US )
Should he do any changes to his i20 form now before going to his 3rd attempt??
Please help !!
