B1 Visa approved at Mumbai
Hi All,

  First I would like to thanks immihelp for helping me prepare for my B1 visa interview. I read almost each and every post on this forum to prepare for my interview. My B1 got approved today, below is my experience:

OFC on 29th June - It was a very quick process. I reached at 9.30 and was done by 9.40 :). All you need to carry is DS160 letter, Appointment confirmation, Passport. No need to carry bunch of documents.

Consulate interview on 30th June - I had appointment at 10.00 and started from home at 7.45 AM. I got stuck in huge traffic jam and was worried that I will miss my slot. Thankfully I reached at 9.45 AM and could join the queue immediately. After that few security checks were done and we were asked to wait at outside waiting area for 30 mins. There were around 100 people with me. Then they allowed us in where again your fingerprints were verified and asked to wait for our turn to face the VO.

  Here is my interview in exact words:

VO- Good morning. Can I have you passport please?
Me - Good morning Mam, sure.

VO - So why you are travelling to US?
Me - To attend business meetings and technical trainings with my onshore team. (The word Onshore is imp here as many pepole say Onsite).

VO - So you had travelled to US before?
Me - Yes Mam on L1 visa. Intracompany trasfer.

VO - Was it with same epmloyer?
Me - No Mam, it was with YYYY X. Very big name in US (I guess it helped).

VO - So where are you working now?
Me - YYYY X

What is your designation?
Me - Technical Lead

How many people you supervise?
Me - 4 pepople. 3 software developers and 1 QA.

VO - How long you will be in US?
Me - 4 weeks, then I will come back to India to train my juniors.

VO - Thank you sir, your Visa is approved. You can collect your passport in 2-3 days.
Me - Thanks Mam! Have a good day.

That's it. Not a single document was asked. Be confident and keep eye contact. That's very imp. Also, wear business formals and do wear your company ID
it adds weight. All the best to prospective applicants!!
