The day that I got my visa is still fresh in my mind. The buildup to the interview was nothing short of climactic. When I recall those days, I realize that they were one of my most tense periods. But after the interview was over, I realized that there is no substitution for hard work. It was difficult for me to schedule an interview with the embassy. I had to go through some obstacles to fix the interview date. After filling out the interview form, I rushed home to check the next available date.

I decided to go to bed. The next morning, as soon as the cock sounded, I leaped up from my bed and sat in front of my computer. To my relief, the next date was around December 5, 2014. So, without any delay, I pushed the schedule button beside the date.

After getting all my documents ready, I anxiously waited for the day of my interview. As soon as the clock hit 6:00 AM, I jumped out of the bed and rushed towards the bathroom. After I was all groomed up, I caught a cab to the U.S Embassy. It was around 8:00 AM when I reached my destination.
