My stamping n POE experience


My case : H1b extension. This is my second H1b stamping in 3.5 years. Changed 2 companies in between. I have a valid I-140 from my previous employer. I am a FTE of a reputed MNC.

I attended interview on 14th and biometric on 13th with my wife and son ( who is a US citizen) at Kolkata consulate. Scheduled interview based on our old passports. So need to fill DS160 twice for each one of us.

Biometric was normal nothing much to share.

Consulate interview:
My slot was at 10:00 am but was allowed inside by 9:30 am in spite of a queue before us, I think if you have a kid they will not make you stand for long.
They will allow your us born child provided you have his or her US passport with you. You can carry milk, diapers and water for your kid. You ( generally mother of the kid) need to test milk n water before security.
The environment was normal, no Trump effect. I saw consulate officers are trying to give visas to the genuine candidates. I noticed one thing if you have valid documentation don't worry much about your communication skills it's definitely good to have. The officers are very cool.

VO: asked for passport n 1797
Me: slided all our ( me and my wife) passports and i797 through the window. We have 2 passports for each one of us. She returned i797 and kept the passports.
