Two days from now I will be appearing for my Visa Interview. The mocks have been going on well. My counselor, Mr Himish Bhatnagar says I am well prepared- there's fluency, coherence of thought and my explanations are logical. Add to it the paper work- which is also complete- though I had it done is a different story. I had to dig deep down in to all the financial assets my father had, or held- find which is still in his name- their net market worth and get them confirmed with the experts in the respective field. Seems easy but the problem was the first step itself, how do I locate what all my father has in his name. I asked him but he had little idea except for the ones in bank. Looked up all the audit reports of yester years but to no avail. Thereafter it was plain gong through every document i could lay my hands on in my home.

With the counselor seeming confident, I think it should not be a worry for me to get a Visa but one thing that keeps on lingering in my mind is after all I am a doctor who is going for a Public health degree in USA. Usually the visa authorities think otherwise and see MPH as a pretext of entering USA to give USMLE later. Talk of it, I have never had plans of pursuing anything clinical post my MBBS. I would love to hold on to the doctor against my name- but I think the PhD route would be better suited to me now. Alas, its time again to go for another mock, so will end it up here.
