    Hi,

    The answers varies from student to student.In front of the visa counselor, you should be truthful and your answers should be to the point.

    While going for a visa interview you should carry all the necessary documents and that to in a systematic order.

    Hi , I am planning in University of North Texas/University of South Alabama.

    Now I am planning to pursue M S after completing my M.Tech in India. I did not get the required exposure and practical experiences that would help me improve my computer science knowledge to get a good job. So, I am applying for MS and I want to know in what way I should answer VO if he asks me why I am doing MS even after completing M.Tech in India? Please help in this matter.

    Thanks Ajay R
