Kunal Bhatia
Engine Cadet · Batch 2024
The Story
Kunal's first US C1/D visa interview lasted 90 seconds. Rejected under 214(b). He was scheduled to join a ship in six weeks.
That's a hard place to be — and a common one.
The Journey
Our re-apply consultancy audited his DS-160, financials, and interview answers. We rebuilt the narrative and ran two mock visa interviews.
The second interview lasted four minutes. Approved.
Placement
Joined a chemical tanker fleet as Engine Cadet in mid-2024.
In Kunal's words
"Detailed, patient, effective. Exactly what I needed after a rejection."
