The date is set: April 29th. I have almost a month to prepare, but I'm still panicking—I won't have time to memorize the guidelines, get my university certificate, or get mentally ready. My English is decent, but I read the forum and see the questions they ask—I wouldn't even know how to respond on the spot. In theory, they have no reason to deny me: I'm a senior, I own an apartment, I have no relatives in America, and no criminal record. People say the decision is made before the interview, and the embassy just confirms you're worthy of that "issued" status. But why is it so scary? 2010-04-11 00:50:49
