Application
My mom applied for my two siblings and me in December 2012. I was in 9th grade that time. When my mom and dad moved to the America we had to move another area for safety. We were so confused about our school specially me. I had to change my school and we knew that we are going to America. So I was confused that which school I should go to prepare myself for U.S. Finally I continued my old school because it was a long process. -
Approval
We got approval in 2013. It was funny because my sister and my brother got approval but i didn't. So, they were making fun of me that I have to stay in Bangladesh. I was happy because I didn't want to come. Actually I didn't get approval because my serial was between their serials. So, It means I got approve. -

Because they didn't let us to take our bag, phones or anything with us. We thought Americans are careful about maintaining time. My sister, brother and me interviewed together. We were shocked because in there every Americans know how to speak Bangla. We didn't get visa because they wanted stronger sponsorship. -
