This is how my visa interview goes. I wasn't that sure before this interview, whether i get my visa or not. But unlike other, i plan to answer all question explicitly. As i know American are very effective. Just tell them what they need to know, not what you need to talk.
When all my friends busy to arrange the perfect answer for the interview, i tend to answer just one word for each question. And the white card is the prove for the need of direct answer. Believe me, one word is enough.

So, i really am going to see... aurora borealis... and squirrels. Alhamdulillah. :)
