The VISA Syndrome! - How to handle VISA stress

One of the routine mock visa interviews at our centre.

Interviewer: Hi, Where are you going?

Ali: No answer.

Interviewer: where are you going?

Ali: No answer. (Tensed, avoided eye contact).

Ali, 22, otherwise, a cheerful, energetic, positive student, seemed nervous and confused. A day before Ali’s visa interview he visited our centre for a mock interview.

After working in this industry for 20 years and mentoring thousands of students, I could easily understand that Ali was struck with a VISA Syndrome. Yes, visa interviews can give you anxiety and stress. Visa Syndrome is very common especially amongst students going abroad for the first time. Interestingly, it always strikes a day before the VISA interview.

However, you can successfully get rid of visa syndrome with right guidance and preparation.

With the student VISA season approaching, we thought of sharing some tips:

Many students fill up VISA application forms on their own. Submitting right and accurate information is very important. At Grad-Dreams, we assure you a hassle-free VISA process. Our visa experts provide thorough end-to-end VISA assistance.

We work in the following manner:

1. Locating all the necessary documents

2. Taking Bio-metric appointments

3. Assisting in financial planning

4. Intensive preparation with mock interviews

We conduct mock visa interview sessions for students. You can come to the mock session without any preparation. All you need to know is the basic details of your course, university you applied to and your specialisation. The mock interview session is a detailed discussion on what to expect at the visa interview.

Please note:

we DO NOT teach “What to answer to the visa officers?”

We believe a free-flowing, fluent conversation with the Visa officers gives a better impression.

The key is –

• Confidence

• Positive attitude

• Right documents

• Genuine approach.

Mugging up answers or imitating seldom helps.

Normally, our mock goes for 2 to 6 hours depending on the readiness of the student. You can surely rely on our experience, we have done it umpteen number of times.

You are completely responsible for the accuracy of the information in your application. Intentionally submitting false information either on the application itself or during the visa interview can lead to permanent ineligibility. We recommend that you read the ‘form/ application filling instructions’ carefully before filling it and do not sign/ submit the application without reviewing it. For any latest updates / detailed information, we suggest you visit the visa section of the respective Consulate’s websites.

We would be more than happy to assist you.

All The Best!
