H1B Stamping, New Delhi, India
Thank you all for sharing your experiences. Time for me to return the favor and share my H1B stamping experience in New Delhi, India today Aug, 3, 2017.

Background: I work full-time with an MNC in non-IT field. I completed my Masters from the US, am married and have a one and half year old son (american citizen). This was my first stamping and also was change of visa from F1 to H1. I have been working 3 years with the same company before i visited India.

At the Visa Counter:

Me: Good Morning Sir, how are you
VO: I am good. Show me your passport (did not ask for DS 160)

Where do you work:

Me: Answered

VO: what do you do?

Me: Answered

VO: what is your salary?

Me: Answered

VO: where did you study in the US?

Me: Answered

VO: Your F1 was rejected earlier, how did you do your masters?

Me: My F1 was rejected in 2011, i applied again in 2012 and it got approved then

VO: ok, why are you here in India?

Me: Wanted to meet family and make my son meet the whole family and grandparents

VO: Is he an american citizen?

Me: yes

VO: Ok your visa is approved

So it was very straightforward, and very quick, hardly 2-3 minutes. He did not ask for a single document. I was very nervous but tried to remain calm during the interview. It is hard to remain calm, that is the key.

I saw that they were giving visas to a lot of people and were not there to deny visas without any reason. They want to have a conversation with you and will ask you specific questions if they have doubts, and depedning on how you answer those questions they will grant you visa.

Do not cram your lines, try to engage in a conversation and prepare for areas where you think they can probe you based on your case. Every case is different.

Best of luck guys. Best is to prepare and be cool, the more nervous you are, the worse you will perform and higher the likelihood of you failing, even if you a have a genuine case.
