An Alien Interview
VISA Interview
it was time for me to goto a Briefing session where i would be well equipped with documents
and instructions to make the following day
a BIG one... I was all the way enthusiastic to have the
d
ocs right in place and rush to see whats in there... with all other important instructions running on my eye was on the document which was having my pay structure in terms of $$$... it was luring to make my move to the following day ASAP... hard to feel to pass the day i silently kept praying god to make my other day really a BIG one. Got all the docs filed and the
n i made my
move to our company guest house and kept seeing the same salary page again and again... Just in a moment something weird did strike to my eyes which w
as showing my pay multiplied by a factor of 10.. foolish enough i was to see my self happy glaring at the erroneous salary... Donno but something unnatural advised me to move to office and get the pay particualrs corrected and with 3 more hrs of effort i got
everything fine and in place...
About to take a nap, i was jus thinking abt the following day.. how tensed would i be while having the interview and how elated would i be after making something BIG... Then rang my petty mobile with an unknown no and that was a call from one of my
colleagues who used to work at the place where i have been in the mere past... The call was to inform me that they are coming for meeting
me....
Joyous would be right word i gotta use to describe my expression by then... They came we met and roamed all along the cross roads and Malls of Noida...Tired of all the fun i just thought of relaxing at my guest house and in a moment some fear flashed in my mind, if i am missing something as a part of preparation... Then jus before a few a seconds passed i took all
the filed documents and the most important one, the semi mock up resume and started to learn by heart to make tommorow's alien feel that it was all real... mugged up every word and took a nap for the day..

too much was the fear running in my heart that i woke up before my alarm woke me up and got ready and called for a cab to goto the alien office (US Consulate).
15 Sep 2008, US Consulate, Delhi
Reached the office and jus made up to get a place in the line when i met two other HCLites, mostly as younger as i do.. Walked into the office with eavy steps, passed thru the security chek and it was time to stand in a que to get the turn to be questioned... i sa
w people pretending too smart, wearing artificial smile just to make the interviewing alien much comfortable in making them thru for their next walk of life... Nothing different was there in what i did.. kept couting every second waiting for my turn and here we go.. MERA Number AGAYEEE....
Went to the window to check my luck out and sta
rted with an artificial greeting GOOD MORNING + Free smile.
Q & A session:
- How long have you been working with HCL? Ans: for the past 26 months
- What is ur specialization? Ans: Business intelligence, data warehousing
- What is data warehousing? Ans: ****** few techie and domain related rubbish decorated well enough to please the interviewing alien
- Why only you and to US? Ans: Since i have been working on the same module for the past couple of years the client requested my presence at US and the same was not supposed to be executed outside US as the client had security constraint of having all done in the domestic surroundings...
Last was never the least, the only answer that i cooked up there
and then...
Few horrifying seconds passed in silence and there came the
return "an alien smile".
I was told " You are selected, thank you." Elated i was with lot of confusion not knowing how to
rejoice the moment...
My L1 B VISA was approved.
This is just the ending for a new beginning...
