I applied for the student visa back on 2006. I got it in one shot and the interview process was very smooth as I was a good student. But now my GPA is low.  So I guess that eventually make me bad student or maybe not. I am going to Nepal this December to renew my student visa. 

Points to note:

I started with Biomedic then switched to Electric Eng and ended up in Computer Science.

It will take me 8 years and 1 term to complete my BS. I will graduate with CS Degree March/2014

My Current GPA: 2.26 but projected GPA when I complete is 2.63.

I was never out of status and FULL TIME throughout these years.

I travelled back to Nepal on 2008 while my visa was still valid

I am actively meeting with my advisers form past 3 years. Its a very active interaction for which I am getting a letter of recommendation from them why I should get Student Visa again.

I am getting about 3 letter of recommendation why I should get a VISA.

I want to know what are your thoughts and how has your experiences been during the interview recently. I need some key points to convince the counselor why I should be given visa etcs..

Let me know if you need other details but your personal experiences and thoughts will be helpful.
