Full scholarship and yet visa rejected 2 times.. can't believe. But good to hear that they themselves called and gave you the visa. If this true, did you ever wonder why the visa was rejected for the first two times? If it's a full scholarship, genuine scholarship, they shold not reject the visa at all , they should respect the scholarships. But, hey, mistakes happen. Each interviewer interviews almost 40 visa applicants a day. That's overwhelming.. and mistake can easily be made. So, if you want to stand out and be successful in grabbing the visa, you must present yourself is such a way that consular will pick you. This factor is always true. So I wonder how Abhi himself presented in front of the consular. Did he display cockiness thinking that he is a great intellectual of Nepal, we don't know. Did he had eye contact during the interview, we do not know. we do not know many things... we know he came back furious to lose the free trip, and wrote the article foolishly without understanding the pressures these consulars have to deal due to high volume of applicants. And under the influence of momentary anger, he threw irrelevant words like indifference, hegemony,church etc. in the writing. That's not a responsible writer's behaviour. Yes, Moriarty said he regret.. but boys, somethings words mean something else!!! Believe me, he used the regret word QUITE Diplomatically.
