Life is full of jinx. Something I would not like to discuss. But in short I got my B1 visa interview through. Getting up early .. I hate so much.. but I had to get myself visa so as to be here at Covansys being billable… It has been 5 months having worked in my core competency… But I’m not complaining.. I’m enjoying this (professional) life less challenging. god.. I must have killed the CEO for keeping me on bench for more than 2 month and I’ve been 4 months on bench here.

So I finally reached US consulate at 8:10 and by mistake breached the queue. There were two queues. ONE Current and TWO anything other than current. If the 8:15 “appointment” is going on, then there would be two queue people for 8:15 appoint and rest. The 8:15 queue was not cleared till 9:30. I wanted to eat something even though I had eaten on way to consulate as well as home. I happen to get in talk this guy of Accenture. We went together for tea. I entered consulate at 11. Really puzzled cause of not having updated information on the notice boards in the interview waiting area.

I didn’t believe when the interviewer said “Visa will be sent to your offer, sir”. I didn’t last even a minute. Wow is Now!!!

Reached office by 1:10 and sent mail to concerned person about the visa having being approved. Here I get a bombshell. APS is not considering the onsite requirement.
