Get F-1 visa in 40 seconds? What Indian students did right at interview
In the midst of rising scrutiny around US student visas and reports of F-1 interview rejections, one Indian student from Delhi claims his visa was approved in just 40 seconds. Sharing his experience on Reddit, the undergraduate applicant said he was scheduled for an appointment at 9:30 am at Counter 13 of the US Embassy in Delhi. The visa officer asked a few pointed questions about the student's academic background, course selection and financial preparedness. The student is set to pursue a bachelor's degree in computer science and linguistics at a US university, and said he chose this particular college over more well-known institutions such as the University of Michigan, UC Irvine and UC Davis because of its research opportunities in AI, ML and natural language processing. 'The combination of CS and linguistics is rare, and this university aligns with my research interests while offering a lower cost per credit,' he explained. On the funding front, he said he would be covering costs with an education loan and additional support from family assets. The visa officer then asked about his parents' occupation before smiling and saying: 'Congratulations, your visa has been approved.' The student ended his post with some advice: stay confident, avoid talking about jobs, be financially prepared and answer only what is asked. Another Indian student posted a similar experience last week, also from the US Embassy in Delhi. According to his post, three applicants ahead of him were rejected, which made him nervous — but his visa was granted. He described the situation in detail: • The first candidate was pursuing computer science but said 'no' when asked if he knew any programming languages. • The second person went into great detail about finances, saying, 'My father has ₹1 crore in savings, ₹5 crore in FDs, and I also have a ₹1.4 lakh education loan.' The post suggested it may have been unnecessary. • The third, a female applicant, was asked why she chose her university. She spoke only about the city's weather and beauty, not the university or the course. 'The visa officer at my counter looked like an Indian-American. He was calm, polite and switched between English and Hindi while speaking to elderly applicants before me. That helped calm my nerves,' the student wrote. His interview was straightforward: • The officer asked for his passport and I-20. • Then he asked about his educational background — a BSc and MSc in mathematics. • Asked about his PhD plans, the student admitted to fumbling slightly but gave a sincere answer on his research focus. • For funding, he simply said the university was offering full funding. That was enough. The officer said, 'Your visa has been approved. Enjoy your stay in the United States.' He handed back the I-20 and kept the passport for stamping. Advice from consultants: What students should keep in mind Mamta Shekhawat, founder of told Business Standard, 'For students, thorough preparation is the key to success: review the admission essays and be ready for discussions as to why a particular university and course are your top choice, how it fits your career goals, and your plans after graduation. 'Second, organise all the documents: papers such as academic records, financial proofs, passports, and admission letters are vital. 'Third, confidence and honesty: answer questions with integrity and honesty. Avoid giving the impression that you intend to immigrate or work in the US upon graduation. 'Finally, make a positive first impression: dress appropriately, arrive on time, greet politely, and remain confident throughout the interview.' Shekhawat added that practice goes a long way in easing nerves. 'Practice answering common questions, exhibit your genuine academic intentions, and show how studying in the US will benefit your future in India.' Sanjog Anand, co-founder of Rostrum Education, advised students to tick three key boxes before appearing for their interview. 'To qualify for an F-1 visa, Indian students must: (1) have a valid I-20 from a SEVP-approved institution; (2) ensure financial documents are clear and genuine; and (3) rehearse with mock interviews to answer confidently,' said Anand. He also recommended students maintain a 'positive digital footprint', noting that social media accounts are sometimes reviewed by consular officers. 'Attend mock interviews, keep documents updated, and stay organised. Preparation and clarity during the interview greatly improve your chances of approval,' he added.

Air India, SpiceJet May Face $40–50 Mn Insurance Hike; Airfares Likely To Rise 2–5%: Report
Last Updated: Air India and SpiceJet may see insurance premiums rise to $40–50 million after the crash, possibly pushing airfares up by 2–5%. Despite the catastrophic crash of Air India Flight AI171 near Ahmedabad, immediate aviation insurance premium hikes are unlikely, Narendra Bharindwal, President of the Insurance Brokers Association of India (IBAI), told Moneycontrol. However, he added that the cumulative impact of repeated Boeing-related incidents could drive up premiums across the aviation sector in the upcoming underwriting cycle. According to reports, Boeing aircraft operators—particularly Air India, which operates 34 Boeing 787s and has 20 more on order, and SpiceJet, which flies Boeing 737 MAX 8s—could face premium increases from around $28 million to as much as $40–50 million. This may lead to a 2–5% hike in airfares, sources told Moneycontrol, as airlines look to offset rising insurance costs. Moneycontrol. Premiums Could Rise 100% by 2026 Industry sources said that insurers may now view Boeing operators as higher-risk compared to Airbus-dependent carriers like IndiGo or Vistara, leading to a hardened market. Experts such as Hitesh Girotra of Prudent Insurance Brokers believe the combined fallout of the MAX and 787 issues—now topped by the Air India tragedy—could increase aviation premiums for Boeing operators by 20% to even 100% in 2026. 'The market is clearly hardening, and Boeing's deteriorating risk profile is a central reason," Girotra told Moneycontrol. The crash of Flight AI171 on June 12, killing 241 of 242 on board, marks the first-ever fatal Boeing 787 accident. The incident could spark insurance claims of up to Rs 300 crore split between Indian insurers and global reinsurers. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is probing the crash with support from Boeing and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). If defects in the 787's design or production are uncovered, Boeing's liability insurers may face lawsuits echoing the $2.5 billion in settlements paid after the MAX disasters. Boeing's Long Road of Turbulence Boeing's aviation insurance costs surged after the twin MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people and exposed systemic failures in design and FAA oversight. The MAX was grounded globally for 20 months, costing Boeing more than $20 billion in direct losses and $60 billion in canceled orders. An internal 2016 survey cited by US investigators revealed that 40% of Boeing employees involved in safety certification felt 'undue pressure" to fast-track approvals. The fallout led to significant premium hikes for Boeing operators, with Air India's own insurance cost nearly doubling post-2019. The troubles didn't end there. The 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 are still awaiting certification as of June 2025, with approvals delayed to 2026 due to technical flaws and tightened FAA scrutiny, especially after the Alaska Airlines MAX 9 door plug blowout in January 2024. The FAA has also revoked Boeing's authority to self-certify airworthiness for MAX aircraft. Meanwhile, Boeing's 787 program has been under audit after reports of fastener installation errors and falsified records. The crash of Flight AI171 only intensifies these concerns. Airlines May Pass Costs to Flyers Analysts told Moneycontrol that higher insurance costs could derail Air India's ambitious fleet retrofit program and strain SpiceJet's planned Rs 3,000 crore capital raise, likely prompting a cost pass-through to passengers. 'In a hardened insurance market, Boeing operators are clearly under pressure. Passengers could bear the brunt in the form of higher fares," one analyst noted. With the insurance market tightening and Boeing's risks amplified, the financial impact of the Air India crash is expected to ripple across global aviation, insurers, and passengers alike. tags : Air India crash Aviation disasters Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: June 13, 2025, 12:36 IST News business Air India, SpiceJet May Face $40–50 Mn Insurance Hike; Airfares Likely To Rise 2–5%: Report
