I have just gotten my US visa approved as of yesterday!
I can now officially announced that I am leaving for USA for this "Work & Travel USA" program, applied through Speedwing.org. I will be leaving on Sunday night! Guys and girls who still follow my blog, contact me if you wish to hang out!
The company I will be working at is Zion Lodge, Xanterra Park & Resorts, located in Springdale, Utah. I will be working as a resort worker for 4 months plus 2 weeks of traveling in USA before I come back to Malaysia. Even the US visa interviewer who interviewed me was like: "So you will be working at Zion Lodge? Lucky you! Beautiful place!"
Talking about the US visa interview, I've got to say that I have been very lucky! The interviewer was asking for my Intrax job offer letter, which I didn't know it existed, not until that morning when I arrived at the US Consulate. I was hoping he wouldn't ask for it, but he did. Lucky me, Intrax have given me a card containing a bit of my details, which indirectly means Intrax has approved of me, and so the interviewer approved my US visa later on. My heart stopped literally for few seconds when he asked for it. My brain didn't stop working though, and that's how I figure out that this card might be my only way (where it turns out to be) out of that situation.
Although my interview time was appointed at 850AM, in the end it was 1030AM that the whole visa application process is over. There were too many process! First, you need to queue outside the consulate to report in and get a visitor pass, then you need to queue again for your turn to go in for the security check. After the security check then you will be inside the embassy. You will get a number which will get called 3 times. The first time is to submit all the necessary documents, the second time is to scan your finger prints and the last one, the interview! You will know whether your visa has been approved or refused right on the spot, and everyone in the room will be listening to your conversation! Tension eh?
I haven't start packing and preparing what's necessary so I think I will start doing in this couple of days!
USA, here I come!
