Internet Reacts As Indian Developer's F-1 Visa Gets Approved In Just 30 Seconds
Last Updated: The applicant worked for two years as a Backend Developer at a reputed Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) in India. As the US reopens student visa interview slots, a young Indian software engineer's swift F-1 visa approval at the Hyderabad consulate has sparked attention online. The applicant, who has worked for two years as a Backend Developer at a reputed Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) in India, recently shared their visa interview experience on Reddit. The scheduled slot was at 10:30 AM IST, and the interaction lasted only a few moments. According to his post titled 'F1 approved in 30 seconds," the consular officer began the process by asking for their passport and I-20 form. Once the documents were verified, the officer inquired about the current professional role. 'I work as a Backend Developer at a PBC," he responded. The next question focused on their motivation to pursue a Master's degree at this point in their career. 'While I was working as a developer, I realised I need to gain more knowledge and an in-depth grip on a lot of core concepts, so that I could come back to India and work in even better companies and better roles," the user explained. His post gained traction and in the comment section, users shared their mixed reactions. One Redditor commented, 'Congratulations! that answer. Even they know that you not doing masters to come back to India and work. I'm sure that's your college or VO was in good mood." 'You won't gain more knowledge in USA. You gain debt, depression and jobless. Situation is so bad, and it gets much worse. Save yourself and enjoy life in India," another said. Someone shared, 'No even though VO was aware that you won't come back, still they approve because they only approve the candidates who can add value to their country, economy after education." 'Same story 4 years ago, VO went chill as soon as he saw that I worked for a reputed American MNC," read another comment. Meanwhile, the US State Department has confirmed that it will continue scheduling appointments for international students but with one condition. The applicant is required to make their social media accounts publicly viewable during the application process. Officials have reportedly been directed to monitor applicants' online presence closely and search for 'any indications of hostility toward the citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles of the United States." These changes come after a temporary pause on F-1 visa appointments in late May during which the US government was said to be revising its policies toward foreign students. F visas are primarily issued to international students seeking academic degrees in US and are now subject to tighter scrutiny under the revised guidelines. First Published:

Should Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Looking for broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market? You should consider the Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 01/26/2004. The fund is sponsored by Vanguard. It has amassed assets over $80.90 billion, making it one of the largest ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market. Mid cap companies have market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion. They usually have higher growth prospects than large cap companies and are less volatile than small cap companies. Thus, companies that fall under this category provide a stable and growth-heavy investment. Blend ETFs are aptly named, since they tend to hold a mix of growth and value stocks, as well as show characteristics of both kinds of equities. Investors should also pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same. Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.04%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space. It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.51%. ETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis. This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector--about 17.80% of the portfolio. Financials and Information Technology round out the top three. Looking at individual holdings, Amphenol Corp (APH) accounts for about 1.16% of total assets, followed by Arthur J Gallagher & Co (AJG) and Transdigm Group Inc (TDG). The top 10 holdings account for about 4.88% of total assets under management. VO seeks to match the performance of the CRSP US Mid Cap Index before fees and expenses. The CRSP US Mid Cap Index targets inclusion of the U.S. companies that fall between the top 70%-85% of investable market capitalization. The ETF return is roughly 3.96% so far this year and is up about 14.66% in the last one year (as of 06/10/2025). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $228.54 and $284.63. The ETF has a beta of 1.02 and standard deviation of 17.98% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 313 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk. Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, VO is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Mid Cap Blend segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well. The iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF (IWR) and the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) track a similar index. While iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF has $41.20 billion in assets, iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF has $93.79 billion. IWR has an expense ratio of 0.19% and IJH charges 0.05%.
