Successful H1 & H4(Wife and Kid[4 Yrs]) - Hyderabad
First of all, I would like to thank the forum, the administrators, and people sharing their experiences. It's very useful and helpful for the people attending interviews.

This is my turn to share my visa experience.

This is my first H1 interview. I was on L1 before.

23-May :- Finger Printing. Nothing much to say here as so many posts detailed on the steps.
Important to carry Passport, DS-160 confirmation.

24-May:- Consular Interview.
I have taken 9:30 am slot but reached the embassy at 8:30 and had to wait in line for my turn even though there was a kid attending interview with me.
Finally at 9:15 or so they allowed us inside, with various checks happening at different places inside the embassy. By the time we came to the interview window its almost 10+. There were lot of elders attending interviews, Few F1a and Few H1s.

I handed over our passports and I797.

Interview was very quick. I guess 2 min.

Who is your petitioner?
Which place are you going to in US? YYY Place
Do you have a client or in-house project? Mine is In-House and I have documentation for this
So, You have been with YYYY Company before when you visited US before?[VO was referring to my L1]. I confirmed.
Did you visit the YYY place earlier, when you were in US? I did not visit that place.
What is the project you are going to work there? ZZZ Project

H4:-
How long have you been married?
How many kids do you have?

That's it.

He returned the I797 and Mentioned !!!Your Visa is Approved!!! and Kept our passports.
We thanked the VO and came out.

Important to Carry:-
Passport, DS-160 confirmation, I797, LCA, Any documents you may feel you require to submit based on the interview.

Just an advise :- Dress Well and Be confident and answer is simple and short and straight answers rather than tell like a story.

Hope this helps.

Thank You and All the best for people attending interviews next.

The status for my spouse and kid changed to Issued on 26-May itself and mine was in Administrative processing and Mine status changed to Issued on 31-May afternoon.

If all the applicants of a family did not change to Issued at same time, Please do not panic and wait, Once the VO confirmed its approved, It will be processed.

All the best.
